I am finally getting around to adding the lightbar to my '23 Pro ExtendedRange, I got the lightbar from Stillwell Ford online for $185 new.

I have the lightbar installed on my truck, fairly quick and easy install, but now when I try and update the firmware using forscan I only see the AS BUILT entries and I do NOT see the Module Firmware Update entries for LDCMA and LDCMB. I don't believe I would need to edit the 'As Built' entries.

Anybody have an idea why these 'Module Firmware Update' entries are not showing up for me to edit in forscan?

I have installed both forscan versions 2.3.58 and the latest version from forscan site 2.3.62 and both have the same issue. I also purchased the extended license and activated. I also did not choose to load up the saved profile when I first connect to the truck. Using a windows laptop.

I know @KurtsRPMGarage has moved on from his Pro but maybe he has seen this before?
You need the Forscan 2.4 beta for module updates.

Hoping someone can help me out. I have the lightbar installed. Latest version Forscan, extended license. No DTCs.

In Forscan, under the Configuration and Programing tab, I have options for "LDCMB Module configuration (AS BUILT format)" and "LDCMA Module configuration (AS BUILT format)".

I do not have an option for "LDCMB/LDCMA Module firmware update".

I downloaded the LDCM Firmware files provided on the first page of this thread and saved it to a folder on my desktop.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get the "LDCMB/LDCMA Module firmware update" option to show up so that I can make my changes and get my lightbar working?

I apologize in advance if this is a silly question.

Need Forscan 2.4 beta
Where can I find that?
I don't see 2.4 beta listed on the Forscan website. All I see is v2.3.62.
Is 2.4 beta just the paid version instead of the free extended license version?

Successful install on a Pro ER with no tech or tow or any other packages. Thanks for the great write up and video. Love the look of the ER grill with the light bar!

I'm In trouble here any advice is welcome. I followed the steps of this thread up to programming and the LDCM A update failed. And has failed probably 6 times. DTCs are cleared and truck is unplugged. I now have no DTC function at LDCM A, so I can't reset it or anything. Can anybody explain what happened here, what I could do different, how to find "AS BUILT" files (if that would even work)? As far as I can tell I have no communication to the drivers side headlight and it will not turn on.
