Are you 100% sure the harness's are plugged in all the way? If they are and you are still getting errors, you can try removing the harness and reverting back to stock to see if the errors go away.

If you are able to post the errors, that would be helpful as well.
I just disconnected the comma harness and plugged everything back to stock. Reconnected the battery and I'm not getting a million errors anymore, but I'm getting service high voltage fault and pull over soon warning. I am able to put the truck in gear and drive it now, but the error is still there. I just drove it around the block and it drove like normal and plugged it into the charger and its charging just fine. Hopefully its just a residual error needs cleared.

I think you shorted your comma harness box. There were a few MachE users who did the same thing. This is exactly why I made a Q4 specific video:

How did i do that? did it happen when plugged into the wrong plug? All the errors occurred when i plugged it into the 2nd plug, the black plug and connected the battery back to the truck. Just FYI i was expecting no errors, because i have Tony's adapter inline with the USB cable.

I have been needing to figure out what all i need to get for forscan, just not bought it, because if i recall it only works on windows and i only have macbook laptop.

I would be cautious with that. If you can find a way to clear the errors, that would be the safest option. It may possibly reset the codes once it rechecks everything, but it could also cause the truck not to start again.

You may be able to do a VM to run windows. I have been away from mac os for a long time, but I think some of their virtual machine software lets you connect to the physical USB ports.

The second port isn’t on the canbus. So no errors, but the box got Fried. Then when you plugged a fried canbus communicator into a port with canbus…. Errors galore.

forscan runs fine in a VM, but FDRS will only run on native windows.

Man,

That sucks, hopefully that is the only thing that is damaged if that is the case.

I wish i had someone in Florida to help me clear the codes...
Im the complete opposite, i had Windows for many years, then for work they issued me a macbook pro and when my windows laptop i had from college died, i just never had a reason to buy another. I windows desktop in the house for gaming, but that doesn't help me lol. Guess ill be shopping for a cheap used windows laptop.

You only need a VM for Forscan. Download UTM and track down a windows 10 installer disc on the webs.

You can download it directly from Microsoft. Just grab media creation tool and select "ISO" when you are going through the program.

I wouldnt worry about the truck too much. CAN is low voltage, so you likely just damaged the harness box sending too much power through it.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d

You can ignore the Instructions, but this page includes both links to 10/11.You dont need a key.

Instructions that include the link. Pick 10 or 11. You dont need a key.

Yea, when he plugged into the grey plug, he sent 12+ and 12- through several connectors on the harness box meant for canbus traffic. he also sent ground to a few spots expecting 12+

The unit is working fine however it doesn't seem to be updating. I plugged in the 12v so it will be on when truck is off. I Attached a picture. Am I missing something?

That is not the right menu for updates. That is a dev menu. The software tab should have the update status.

Okay, thanks. Is there a, this is the settings, here are the toggles you need enabled, etc. I hate bothering you guys with seemingly simple questions. if I just had some type of instruction sheet it would be help full.

Update, when i woke up for work, the faults were all gone. I had no issues driving my 40 mile trip to work. Im going to place an order for the little box, sucks but mistakes happen and ill gladly pay for just that over something more expensive in the truck.

I will say, going back to the video i wish i had continued to watch to see the correction in the video, i would recommend going in the video on YouTube and cut that section out to assure another goofball like me doesnt make that same mistake. I wish the plugs were different to make it more obvious, because it easily goes into both plugs on my box, in the video you mentioned it doesn't fit.

I did order the cable recommended for forscan on amazon lastnight and it was on my doorstep at 5am.
