I have a question about programming multiple modules. Can multiple modules be programmed in a single FORScan session without cycling the key off/on between programming each module?

For example: when programming both the DDM & PDM for the Autofold feature, is it necessary to cycle the key off/on after programming the first door module before proceeding to program the next door module?

In this video at :56, a box pops up that states the ignition switch must be cycled off then back on. Yet it looks like the user merely clicked ok, then went on to program the next door module without ever cycling the key off/on.

Yes, multiple modules can be programmed without cycling off/on but it's probably not the best practice so I don't state this in the tutorial. BCM should definitely be cycled off/on but I've found it not necessary for most.

I did the Bambi Mod and now my fogs are stuck on. I can't turn them off, even with the truck off and the headlight switch to off. Any ideas what I did wrong?

Have you tried going back to your stock settings?

That's what I am about to try, but didn't want to lose all my other mods.

You can just change the ones for the Bambi mod if you have the original ones handy..

Chances are you will find your mistake while doing this.

Taking my truck to the dealer on Monday for my warranty work. I've done all the common changes and Bambi, secure lock, nav, hdc, only one I can think of they might notice is Lincoln style folding mirrors. I never did backups I missed that part back in original thread and I haven't got around to making one. There's alot of changes for folding mirrors/tilt. Can I change something easily to make them stop autofold in without changing everything back for autofold? I do have a notebook with each change wrote down just didn't see the easy backup process before diving in lol
