If it helps, here is the RH tail lamp connector. Note there is a circuit (CLS27) that is turn lamp only. It appears in other F-150 schematics but not the BEV as far as I can tell. I attached an example.

Super simple. Open tailgate and you'll see 2 bolts heading to the tail lamp (8mm I believe). Remove those and then pull the taillight straight back. There are some clips that have to come loose. So the first time may be a little struggle.

According to the diagrams there should be a (GN-OG) 18 ECU - TURN LAMP RIGHT REAR, that is missing here (lower left). The (BU-OG) 22 LAMP - TURN REAR RIGHT # SIGNAL OUT is present.

Sorry I confused you. The first diagram I sent you in post 15 was for the Lightning (BEV). It does not have that circuit. Then in post 16, I attached an example of a truck that does have that circuit (CLS27 GN-OG wire). My point was that some F150's have it and was hoping maybe it was present on the Lightning but not used. Looks like it doesn't.

And the SIGNAL OUT circuit CLS54 (BU-OG) just tells the truck that a bulb is burned out. You can't use it for turn signal activation.

Sorry to piggyback on this thread but its somewhat related.

Do you have the headlights diagrams? There are a variety of AUX circuits referenced in the LDCMA module forscan sheets and im interested to find out if there are taps you can use off the main headlight connector to enable auxiliary driving lights.

How is the blinker wired? Is it the DRLs that blink, or the brake lights?

I would like to enable the red DRLs in daytime with Auto selected at the light switch. And then blinking when I am turning (either the drls or the brake lights).

Over here the DRLs turn amber up-front. And the brake light blinks. Also for your trim, there is a light in the mirrors - maybe tie into the mirror?

In the front it always a light on. So I just want to enable the tail-lights to always be on in auto.

I found this in ForScan, mine was set to 1, tried 4, but no change. Maybe there is another setting that should be enabled at the same time?


LR_Stop_Pos_Lamp_Ckt_Usage_Cfg (LRSPLCUC)
726-43-01 xxxx xxxx x*-- 0 = LRSPLCUC NOT_USED
1 = LRSPLCUC STOP_ONLY
2 = LRSPLCUC STOP_POSITION
3 = LRSPLCUC STOP_POSITION_TURN
4 = LRSPLCUC STOP_TURN

Great news.

Switching BCM "DRL Conditions" from Option A to Option B gives me DLRs on auto, both front and back.

UPDATE: With Option B, the DRLs never switches off, even when shutting down the car and locking it. So this doens't work either.

Out-of-Spec just had a driving impression with three Ford products in Norway, the video below is linked to the Lightning.

Couple of notes the reviewer mentions:

* Says that the CCS2 conversion places the charging port on right/passenger side

* States there is a version with rear seats removed and "green plates"?

* Mentions FordPass capable in the Country (did you ever get yours resolved @hb.sagen )?

* He likes the shifter and doesnt understand those converting to rotary :)

Added "Daytime Running Lamps Control Function" and "Tail Light" in APIM, in the "NOT built-as".

That added a "Daytime Lights" in my lights control on the center display, and toggling that gives me red tail lights at daytime in Auto. Success.

I have still not figured out the turn signal in ForScan.

Yes, the charging port is on the other side, don't know why they changed it. Not as easy to any more as there is no "dummy" door on the '25 model?

The "green plates" thing is a tax-evasion thing here in Norway. For ICE cars, anything above 130 hp or 1.5 L displacement (in principle) is a luxury and should be taxed, hard. And you pay for the CO2 pr gram as well in potential emissions. So, nearly no American cars over here. A F150 with 5.3 L would cost $300.000. My previous car, a VW Touareg, with 240hp and 3L displacement had a total tax of over 50 % of the price paid at the dealer.

The green plates are for cars with two seats and cargo space for a pallet. Then you get part of the taxes as a write of on a company. So there are XC90s with green plates, and a lot of Land Cruisers.

I am still in line for FordPass integration, may take some months. Still on factory 2023 software.
