Hey Jim. Check your settings in Sync to make sure your kick switch is enabled as some of these updates reset these modules. If they still don't work check your ForScan settings on 744-23-01 and see if the following is enabled XXXX-XX01-00 and do a module reset after and your kick switch should work. Hope this helps.
Well at least there is a pattern for me. When I updated to Bluecruise the DSM update wiped out my running board settings. Set back 744-23-02 and boards worked but kick switch did not. Latest DSM update wiped the settings again. So

744-23-0201xxxxxxxx
sez I have running boards... now working again. Then I found

744-23-01xxxxxx01xx--
and it sez kick switch is present. Kickswitch works properly now that this bit is set.

Not sure why some trucks get the running board config reset upon a DSM update and some do not. But that is clearly the case. I suspect Ford will be replacing a number of kick switches and maybe even running boards as the dealers do more and more Bluecruise updates.... since their techs don't have access to Forscan spreadsheets, @Jesse-Infotainment , @Livnitup , etc and this invaluable forum.

The guide used to say that windows VMs on a Mac were known to cause problems. It's gone now. Does that mean that some people have had some success updating on a VM?

Steve - Did you get unstuck. I just threw in the towel on the dealer and ordered the mongoose.

Did you check the latest TSB put out by Ford? They mentioned which cables worked and which brands did not. I'll dig into it more once I get my equipment. Good luck.

Edit - Attached is the latest document from Ford from Wed.

Hey Steve - The table below shows the various error messages and actions on page 18 of the TSB. I think your error is the last one.
