We'll nothin but GOOD news to report here. I'm not sure but I might be the only 2023 Raptor with digital HVAC (temp on dials) and heated steering wheel. Forscan was easy to code the HVAC module to turn wheel functionality. I'll follow this post up with the two changes I made to the HVAC module to fire it up when I get back to Forscan, pretty sure instructions for all those doing this mod without the digital HVAC controls has already been well documented. Best part is the HVAC control was only $105 on eBay. Came in flawless, not a scuff or scratch on it. Got the other two parts from Goose kit.
I was first on a 23
.
Great to hear though. My install also went very smooth, except having to figure out that I needed to reset the HVAC module after programming.
This is awesome. I wish someone could explain why my digital temp HVAC wouldn’t accept programming but yours did? I’d love to get this working as I like the digital temp readout version better.
FWIW I did try this with the exact same parts as you. SCCM from BGGD. Digital HVAC PN ML3Z-19980-K (ML3T-18C612-DE). OBDLink EX and latest version of ForScan.
MZ- Been thinking on this, and had a couple thoughts that may, or may not, help.
1- What year is your truck? Is it a '23? If so, what version of Forscan? I had trouble getting version v.2.3.50 to work properly on my 23. I had to contact forscan for help, and they got me a test version of 2.3.51. That got me off and running.
2- Did you have previous forscan changes in the HVAC module? If so, did you try programming from the previously modified backup, or the backup from before any changes were made? I have had sporadic instances in the past where writing previously modified files would have trouble loading in a new module. I would go back to the factory as-builts and it would work fine. Not sure why.....
3- I thought maybe you had an older version of the module that wouldnt work for some weird reason, but I checked the part number on mine, and it is the same superceded part number as yours (ML3Z-19980-K).
