Forscan changes - tweak your truck

[pughde]

Just parking lights as DRL. If you want both low beams & parking lights as DRL just make this change:
726-26-02 x1xx xxxx xxxx

For only parking lights as DRL just do the following (I edited my other post):
726-26-02 x1xx xxxx xxxx
726-50-01 017F

Thanks.....

How important is it to save the original files?

Very important, lots of guys have ended up regretting it later. There are modules in your truck that the Motorcraft site doesn't list your as-built values for so if you make a change in one of them and want to go back to original later, you'll be hunting for someone with the exactly optioned truck to give you their value.

So the parking lights will turn on as soon as the truck is started? Without turning the headlamp switch from off?

In addition to what Livnitup said, the truck has to be in drive or reverse for them to come on with the DRL setting. They won't come on in park.

I almost thought it didn't work when I first tested it.

One thing I found with this change to DLR only. After programming. I had to leave truck running. Turn light switch to off. Turn off DLR in menu. Turn truck off. Restart truck. Turn DLR on in menu. Turn light switch to auto. Turn truck back off and then on and it now works with DLR only in all gears but park. All your parking lights and markers are on but that's fine. Low beam is off now till dark.

Maybe turn headlight switch to off and possibly turn off DRL before making this change? Might get a chance to do this tonight, will try it.

Just did this and can confirm it works as described. Very cool!

Here's all the choices (except what I posted earlier for Parking Lights only as DRL):
726-45-01: xxxx 7Fxx xxxx - Allow All DRL Choices

AND
726-50-01: XXxx
where XX =
01 = Disabled / Parking Lights Only
02 = Low Beams
04 = Front Fog Lamps
08 = Front Turn Lamps
10 = Dedicated DRL Lights (LED Light Bars/Strips) - Enables BCM DRL Outputs - C2280F (F-150) Pins 36 (Right) and 40 (Left)
20 = High Beams
40 = Low Beams and Dedicated DRL Lights

I bought my truck in AZ and when I am in Auto mode my Daytime Running my headlights come on in drive. Is this normal?

I haven't been into the menu to see if it's selected yet... just curious since I didn't expect to have DRL's on a US Raptor.

It must be selected in the IPC menu. It probably didn't ship from factory like that but probably someone on the dealer lot did it before you took delivery.

Thanks... So to get mine to use the parking lights only as DRL's in it's current state do I need to do just this?

726-26-02 x1xx xxxx xxxx (think this is already done in my vehicles condition?)

and then I also need to do this?

726-50-01: XXxx

Just don't want to screw anything up. I am familiar with FORScan but still makes me nervous unless I know EXACTLY what to do when programming. Thanks!
