Yea, this is quite a doozy,, should be plenty of BCM's available in TX soon though:

OMG! That is tragic! I pray that NO One died that day. I shudder to think of what it was like to go sliding into that mess w/o any way to stop it....

Yeah, that was from snowmageddon a few years ago. I think that video was in Fort Worth. Many people here do not know how to drive when it ices or snows or both!
My vehicle has no problem going 60-80mph…. then realize they need to stop-duh
…or what black ice is!
… A little common sense goes a long way!

Tweaks to asbuilt settings are one thing. Module updates using FORSCAN are not something I would consider doing.

I have wondered once or twice if Forscan with a reliable interface like a Mongoose might be a way around the BCM update restrictions in FDRS. But never enough to risk it without a positive report on updates via Forscan from someone else. And even then maybe only if it was a specific report of success updating the BCM.

I'm really glad I met @Jesse-Infotainment . Remotely solved it. Speechless.

My hands are too cold to type righ tnow from the cold here. Thanks everyone for the tips and guidance. It's back up and running after trying a lot of things. Last thing was the screen flickering and then it went totally black. Clicked the ignition and turned right on. Going to bed easier tonight!

OMG, awesome. I hope you send Jesse a steak dinner. @Jesse-Infotainment please report back here with a short technical follow-up on what solved this.

Jesse Is a wizard for sure. Hopefully you hook him up.

@Jesse-Infotainment is probably one of the brightest guys in the modding business. I was always amazed at the stuff he did on the ICE truck forum. So glad he is with us here on the Lightning forum.

That’s fantastic. I would have bet real money that it couldn’t be solved remotely.

Not when the module whisperer is involved.
