Hey all,

I made a few minor changes to the ST today (fog lights on with high beams), write the change in, cycle the ignition. However, the changes aren't showing up on the vehicle. I went back into FORScan, and the changes are enabled. Any idea where the breakdown has occurred?

try this
double check AGAIN you made the correct changes
Bambi Fog Light ModeBCM726-39-02 xxx0 xxxx xxx Fog lights remain on with high beams activated, once button is pressed.
also out switch cycle fogs to off each time light control knob is turned or used, and each time you start the vehicle the fogs by default in the switch are OFF
so you have to press the fog button each time, then it stays that setting until next key cycle
i am looking at how to keep them set like we can do in the f150, its the same switch.


also key off then on again in forscan, rest apim

then disconnect and turn off key, open door and wait 30 seconds to let car turn off, then turn key on and select fogs then hit brights and go see if they are on now

I reversed all my changes. One of the other changes was the reverse mirror tilt. After switching everything back to stock, I go to my mirror settings and now the option to use reverse mirror tilt exists in the setting menu. I set it up and it works well.

That's a smart workaround, using the memory seat 3 for that. I'll keep that in mind in case this change reverses itself.
