Possible to disable the lightbar completely using Forscan?

[iam7foot1]

I think the lightbar is ugly. I've tinted the lightbar so that when it is parked, you can't see it, (see pic) but it is still lit when driving. I've seen the thread on how to disable the daytime running lights, but don't see anything via search on completely turning off the lightbar. Is this possible via Forscan?

Can't you just unplug it?

Does the attached diagram help you locate the plug. I think #6 points to the plug.

Yes you can disable the light bar in forscan. Or dim it to 10%. Check out the forscan threads here.

Thank you for posting this. When I lift the hood, I can't figure out how to disassemble it to get to this plug. I'll look around some more though and try to find this. There are quite a few lighting modules in Forscan and was thinking one of them might disable this. One of them says, "White Lighting enabled". Was thinking this might be it.

Thanks for your help. Could you please link to that? All I see is dimming to 10%, which is the default. I don't see anything in the Forscan version 1 or 2 thread in completely disabling the light bar. I see completely disabling the daytime running lights, which I have done, but it didn't affect the lightbar.

I’m not sure this is correct. I pretty sure that dimming relates to the DRLs which are in the headlights.

This is the video I recall from 22. Someshwere in this video they discuss dimming the light bar.

Yes, as I said, she increased the light bar from the factory setting of 10% to a higher setting, but I haven't found a way to decrease the value to zero. This was the reason for my post, because there is clearly a way to do it, probably by making this hex value in Forscan zero, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what that value is.

I would love to do this as well. I'm not going to use forscan. If you figure out how to just unplug it or whatever please post! Great looking rig!

Based on the hex values in the Forscan post if OA = 10% brightness, then 00 would represent 0% brightness according to Chat GBT. I'm gonna try that and report back if it works. I'll either have a solution or a bricked truck.
