Anyone with an active FDRS license? Need the HVAC files for a 2022-2023 PowerBoost. I have the VIN of one and can walk you through how to get the files if you don't know how to. Thanks. Disregard; git it done.

The only time I have even seen that message is if I try to connect to a vehicle without being plugged into it. If you haven't already, check to make sure the USB cable that plugs into the dongle is seated properly. I have never heard of a case where a Mongoose goes bad, but I guess it's also a...

That sucks, but sounds like a problem specific to that dealer. My dealer has an Enterprise agent on sight to provide rentals to clients.

Ford does provide loaners/rentals. However, they will not authorize it without a diagnosis. So, when a vehicle craps out and ends up at the dealer, they have to verify the problem before they can give you a loaner even if the vehicle had to be towed in. I had a TSB done last month where they...

When I recalibrated my IPMA with FDRS after the level, FDRS specifically tells you that it is not designed for this and if the suspension was modified, to not measure the wheel arch height and return the vehicle back to stock. I completely ignored the message, measured the wheel arch heights...

You sent me your VIN before. I see they have not sent you any OTA's in a while, but your modem seems to be working just fine. It reported itself to the cloud as recently as today at 11:22am and it is not reporting any codes that would indicate any connectivity issues. Matter of fact, it is not...

In that case, it would be easy. FORScan will only show the file that goes in each location, so you can't make a mistake. I doubt you stand to gain anything from updating that module that warrants the side-load process, though.

The tricky part is knowing where the files go. In the case of the OBCC, it may be much easier than the BCM since I doubt it has so many config files. Plug in with beta and post a screenshot of what the programming page looks like. If the OBCC is just one of each (one strat, one config and/or...

Well, seeing that you and I are in the same FDRS boat up shits' creeek with no paddle, I can't ask somebody to get me files every time someone wants to do it, so we will have to make due. I'm sure not paying for $1200 a year to Ford to help them fix their problems. :ROFLMAO:

Are the BCM files the same for all Lightnings? Because if you say it's safe, I don't mind helping peoiple do it like I have been with other side-loads.

I've never done it because I haven't had to, but it can be side-loaded if you are able to source the correct files. The BCM is VIN coded, so you would need to write your VIN to the proper block after you flash it. I will STRONGLY suggest you do not trust FORScan to pull the correct files on its...

That is ridiculous. All that needs to be done to fix the issue where it gets stuck on the spinning pinwheel screen is to disconnect the battery for 20 minutes. I am no longer able to see pending updates or what the dealer has or has not done, but 30 days for this nonsense? Ford really needs to...

I agree 100%. However, I can tell you that certain things if not enabled in the IPC won't work even if all the IPC config does is tell you the function is on or off. I also think it is unlikely that this change alone will get it to work, but painless enough to try it.

I looked through the door module options thinking it would most likely be there, but I see nothing there or the BCM which would have been my next guess. I did find this in the IPC. Worth a try, I guess.

One guy over there was able to get in and is updating now. $120 for the 2-day license now. :confused:

From the pics you have posted, it does not seem like any of the eye nanny or the front facing camera on the windshield is blocked by anything. The dealer will need to plug in and run some pin-point tests to see why that fault is popping up. If the system thinks the cameras are blocked, BC will...

Got your message. Your truck is consistently reporting this code citing a blockage of one of the driver facing cameras. This will 100% prevent Bluecruise from working. Do you have any cell phone mounts or anything mounted on the dash or driver side a-pillar that could be blocking one of the...

Message me the VIN and I'll poke around to see if I see anything helpful.

Oh, got it. The dealer must have updated the BCM which enables wall by default. They won't be able to fix that. You can add the missing button with forscan and turn off WAL, though. Up to you whether you want to take that route or not.

Typically when this happens, there is a procedure in FDRS under the BCM to release the vehicle from inhibit mode which only takes a few minutes to do. I find it hard to believe that between the dealer techs and Ford engineers, this has not been tried yet. Assuming the OTA somehow hard - bricked...
