'25 Ford Lightning Flash Job 2
Shortly after I purchased my Lightning, a 2025 Flash Job 2, I disabled the WAL feature. Now that I want to enable it the toggle is missing from the menu. I've searched this forum and couldn't find a thread about this.
Has anyone else had this happen, or have an idea of what has happened?

Same, disappeared after an update in November, but got 3 in a week or so, so I'm not sure which one.

I suspect they decontented the Job 2's and didn't tell the software people but
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe @Ford Motor Company , Brian not AI, can give us an idea of what may have happened?

A SYNC update may have done this. You can try re-enabling the toggle with Forscan.

See my sig for the main Forscan thread.

I appreciate the info.
However, I'd like to get @Ford Motor Company, Brian not AI's, feedback before spending $70 on a OBD cable and installing Russian software on my computer.

The devs are Russian, yes. That doesn't automatically mean it is spyware, but people are going to have their apprehensions.

Let me ask and find out. I'll get your VIN via DM and flag with engineering. They can help us figure out what has happened.
Same thing happened to my 25 Flash, I remember seeing the WAL toggle right after I got the truck in June last year, I'm so used to hitting the lock button that I just toggled it off, then one day a thread popped up asking about the feature so I went out to toggle it back on to check something and the toggle was gone.

I'm not looking for a solution as if it does get fixed, I'm still going to toggle it back off. Just tossing out the "Me 2" for this anomaly.

Yep and let's just say if they steal anything about this truck by us using it, it will only set them back about 20 years. Now if they get your finances and your excel password sheet off your PC, that is a different story :).
