Using either PTS or FDRS.

Anytime you go from one major revision to another one, you really need to remove the existing user data to keep the new version from coughing up hairballs using your previous session data etc. That might have been what caused the problem, but there's no way to tell really. What I can suggest...

But does it throw DTCs? I thought somebody said that the Mach-E version threw DTCs all the time. That's why I went with the Bronco Sport version (same as Escape).

I would NOT go with any version that came on a Mach-E. That's the one that seems to cause issues. From what I've read and experienced, you want the version that came on a '21/'22 Bronco Sport, or Escape, (and possibly the Maverick? I think somebody reported using one of those). Newer versions...

This may be helpful. In fact that whole thread is worth a read.

Dude! Your dealer service department did the switch for you? How cool is that!

I love mine. I'm using the one from a '21/'22 Bronco Sport with the rubberized knob. No issues.

New FDRS update this morning which is a major revision from '44' to '45' so make sure you tick the box to delete your user info during the install to avoid formatting errors or other issues when running the new version. Here's the download link.

Well you'd sort of have to be keeping a tracking spreadsheet really to keep up. I gave that up a couple years ago :) Powertrain updates are released a few times a year on average...sometimes more (in the case of the Mach-E as an example). Yes, that ACM update that wouldn't die is still with us.

Yes, it's the motorized version. So when you open the driver's door it rotates into park. It doesn't just cycle the LEDs.

🤦🏼‍♂️ It was a little darker outside today when I left to do some shopping and I happened to notice that there is a blue ring around the edge of this Bronco Sport rotary knob afterall. I just didn’t notice it before.

Well, they're just heavy duty fuses...not pyrotechnics...they would just sound like that when they blew.

Thanks Dean! (y)

Not a dealer, but blessed. :)

All those previous repairs you listed were FSAs (except for the rear coolant pump). That's normal maintenance (FSAs) and recalls (like the lightbar). Nothing suspicious about any of that. I'm really sorry about finding yourself away from home with a new-to-you truck that's experiencing issues...

Now...if it just had ambient lightning and the rubberized knob from the Bronco Sport......

Judging by the number that have sold on Ebay in just the last 24hrs (5 at current count) there must be a shed-load of people doing this mod on their Lightnings...... I wonder how many Etsy consoles have been sold at this point? I wonder if Ford is taking notice of this trend and thinking of...

The servicing dealer checked it over....did they connect the truck up to the FDRS computer (laptop) and run the FHCP test? There is also a routine there to 'initialize' the front latch mechanism. If they did all of that and still needed parts then fine...but there's a lot that can be done using...

Yes, get those done.

They are correct, that TSB is now listed as outdated and is no longer available. I suspect the reason for this is: Jun 20 2025 Some 2021-2024 Ford and Lincoln vehicles equipped with SYNC 4 may not be able to perform an update to the accessory protocol interface module (APIM). This may...
