Ford made the change to remember the setting but it was in violation of several laws. It became a recall which they had to fix

I just saw this today.

Affected vehicles may have software logic that does not reset the electronic stability control esc system to default operation at the initiation of each ignition cycle. Section 5.4.1 of...
Personally, I don't think you should use today's requirements which could limit yourself for tomorrow's potential. If you are going to be in your house for a while and may buy another electric vehicle in the future, I would put in the biggest circuit possible. Future proof yourself or you may...
No, you can look at the FORSCAN thread for details I guess. I researched it when I had a BMW and found that you can program your own car and it will not affect the warranty unless they can prove the changes caused damage.
If you see my post, #15, I found the solution to this problem. If you can't make the changes, then ask the dealer. I am pretty sure they do not know about it.
@Ford Motor Company Can you please pass on to your developers or dealers about the solution to this common problem.
This may be the same problem as yours. When I had the heated steering wheel replaced, my auto-sensing wipes stopped working and functioned like standard intermittent wipers.
I figured out the problem with the auto wipers. There are four modules that must be programmed for them to work.

@KennyB123 You can easily test the auto wipers. Turn it on to the #3 or #4 setting. If auto wipers are working, it will wipe once and stop. If not, it will work like traditional intermittent wipers and wipe every 2-3 seconds.
I had my heating steering wheel installed today. The heated steering wheel works. Yeah! Unfortunately, they installed the wrong module. The issue is that there are currently three different steering wheel module part numbers: one NOT equipped with Auto Wipers OR Power Adjustable Steering...
Page 420 mentions Preconditioning in two places. On the left side it mentions using departure and comfort settings to precondition the battery. On the lower right-hand side, it says you can precondition the cabin and the battery while plugged in. Here is the lower right-hand side verbiage...
I went to the dealer to inquire about this. They told me that the part is only available for trucks with automatic wipers OR with power adjustable steering column but NOT with both. My truck has both so I have to wait for the part to come available.
I have the opposite opinion. I am not a fan of Chrome. I prefer the body-colored mirrors and handles. In previous cars, I have swapped out chrome pieces for body-colored or black to dress it up. Each to their own. I do respect your opinion to modify your truck to your taste. Can't wait to...
