Did you try a Sync reset first? That usually clears up glitches on the center screen. If you aren't familiar, holding down volume down and next track on the steering wheel for about 10 seconds forces a Sync reset.
Yes I tried the sync reset a few times before I disconnected the 12 volt battery.

Now that it has been verified to work, I've added to post 1. Thanks to Jesse and all the folks who tested it.

Enable Pro Power Onboard with truck off (2022-2023 only. Standard on 2024+).
Creates a Sync toggle in the Pro Power settings screen. See this post.
7D0-10-03 xxxx xx2x xx--
7D0-10-04 xxx* xxxx xx--
If 0, change to 8. If 4, change to C. If 6, change to E
If you enabled the Advanced Charging Screen, you likely have a 6.
Requires truck to have 2025 PCM update and likely Sync version 25094.
Also can confirm this is working. I finally got around to doing this yesterday and works like a charm.

I finally tried this yesterday.

Glare Free Working
Pro Power while off Got the toggle but it switches to off 5 seconds or so after I toggle it on
Silent Mode Working
Remove Message R Cam Working
Trailer Side view Unsure as Im having Towing Issues
50/50 Working
Disable Seat Belt Warning Working
Disable Power Down Working


The problem I discovered today is when I hooked up my trailer instead of trailer selection poping up it is a towing settings screen with 3 selections.

Trailer Light Check
Trailer Sway Control
Trailer Maint Reminders

And it says no active trailer at the top. Two diff trailers that worked 2 days ago.
Range GOM also does not switch to towing mode.
When i got to the towing app on screen it displays identically to above.

Thought I would check the Hive mind before I restore to as built. (total pita as I have to use a desktop, my laptop is a work one and wont install Forscan.)

I supect my PCIM is not up to current version, I do have BC 1.4.

Thanks for any help

Noticed something rather amusing today after updating to add the enhanced charging screen back. If you have the charging screen up when you turn the truck off and then turn it back on, you can see the old charging screen for a while before it switches.

No idea on the trailer wonkiness but sounds like you're missing some software dependency for the PPO while off.

You are in the same boat as me. It will toggle on but switch back off after a few seconds. There was a PCM and BECM update that came out in March this year that I believe we need. When I compare my truck to ones where it works, PCM/BECM sticks out. The PCM controls the PPOB inverter modules.

BC is unrelated to the PCM, I also have all the BC and WAL updates.
Unfortunately the PCM has not been offered OTA. Requires a dealer visit or DIY with FDRS.

Hey y'all, I'm looking for some help too. I recently retrofitted my cameras with turn lamps and puddle lamps. I made the forscan changes here (see post #2) and the turn lamps and four-zone lighting are working great. However, my puddle lamps aren't working. You can find more info about this in my post on that same thread (post #3). Any ideas what the issue may be?

- Since neither of the puddle lamps are working I doubt it is a wiring issue, unless I got the pins wrong for both of them?
- I doubt the puddle lamps themselves are bad since what are the odds both would be malfuctioning "out of the box"?
- So I think I might have a Forscan issue. When making the forscan changes I followed the #2 post on the thread I linked above exactly.

Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated!

Bringing this back to the top. I tried a different sent of puddle lamps so I don't think the original lamps I used were bad. Further, on both sides when puddle lamps should be on (tried testing using the 4 zone lighting) both showed they got about 2v DC instead of 12v DC. Any idea what might be causing this?

Again, any help would be appreciated!

Two thoughts: 1) Did you also enable Lincoln Folding mirrors with Forscan? If so, then a known issue is that puddle lamps don't work with that feature on Fords. 2) Contact @21st Century Truck - I know he upgraded the mirrors on his XLT and has done a lot of extra wiring to enable features.

Because it is a FORScan mod only, I added the following to post 1 today:

Enable Charging Speed on Instrument Panel Cluster (2022-2023 only. Standard on 2024+).
Displays the charging rate (Amps and kW) in the upper left of the IPC. This requires a more advanced process that requires the paid version of FORScan (which you should buy regardless) and its beta version that allows you to side-load new firmware for the IPC module. See this thread for all the details - start with post 5 and continue to the end.

I don't believe I did. Would that be the following?
DDM 740-03-16 xxxx-xxxx-**-- 00=Ford, 01=Lincoln, 02=manual, 03=powerfold
PDM 741-03-16 xxxx-xxxx-**-- 00=Ford, 01=Lincoln, 02=manual, 03=powerfold

I need to look and see what my current setting is, but would I need to change it to Ford (00) or manual (02)?

EDIT: typo. I had PDM 741-03-06 but I meant to say PDM 741-03-16. Corrected.

I suggest You choose the "Ford" option for both modules.

I didn't read far enough back to see if these new mirrors you got are power fold or manual fold. Your original Pro would have come with manual fold so setting would be 02 originally. But since you have retrofitted them, it depends if you now have power fold. If power, then 00. No Lightning has 03 - that must be for ICE?

I use 01 because I like the that the mirrors stay folded when I unlock my truck. Helps when in tight parking spots. They only unfold after you get in and close the driver door. I never found any use for the puddle lamps with limited night driving so don't miss them.

Can I PM you my VIN to check if I have the latest PCM update? I have a 2023 Lariat Standard Range.

I just did these changes in Forscan. The "Keep Outlets On When Vehicle is Off" toggle is added to Sync, but it automatically toggles itself off. Tested the frunk outlets with a blow dryer that turns off once I turn off the truck, rather than staying on.

Sure, but also please update your Account Details for future requests. Add 2023 Lariat SR to what you have already have in the Vehicles section :) .

@21st Century Truck Tried this over the weekend. Switched both to the "Ford" option. Still does not work. I cleared my DTCs and the only remaining were for both the PDM and DDM:

Code: B1166 - Right Front Puddle Lamp Output
Additional Fault Symptom ( :15):
- Circuit Short To Battery Or Open
Status (-48):
- Previously Set DTC - Not Present at Time of Request
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp is Off for this DTC
- Test not complete
Module: Passengers Door Control Unit

Code: B1165 - Left Front Puddle Lamp Output
Additional Fault Symptom ( :15):
- Circuit Short To Battery Or Open
Status (-48):
- Previously Set DTC - Not Present at Time of Request
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp is Off for this DTC
- Test not complete
Module: Drivers Door Module

Does the AS BUILT option make a difference? I can't recall which one I made the edit to off the top of my head, but there were several options for both the PDM and DDM.

Any other ideas?
