Im about to boot up my Blutooth OBD scanner with Torque Lite or Dash. I haven't use it on a Ford before. I use Carista on my Audi for simplified soft-coding of the different options, plus OBD.
Mostly for Android, but works on iOS too...

No longer stuck in 2003
This is the scanner I bought, based on the reviews and the slightly higher price than some of the others.

I just bought a new to me truck. 99 f150 lariat with 5.4l engine, auto transmission.
I've got an intermittent flashing od light. Previous owner said he drove for 3 years with the light on. I took the truck to 2 auto stores that refused to scan the truck while running. The problem is, when the truck is turned off, the light resets. It may take 5 minutes of driving or 30 to get the light to come back on.
Anyway, I figure I need a scanner. What scanner will fit the bill on the cheap? Thanks!

I downloaded Forscan for my laptop. Then I paid $10 for a 1 year license . I have many Elm327 and mini-vci adapters but only got the wifi elm 327 to work. Today i receive the Forscan OBDLink EX adapter $36 made for Forscan and will be testing that. So far I was able to see all codes and activate my ABS pump and and more.

Now an XLT in Colorado
There is a thread specifically about Forscan. No need to cruise through really old threads to tell your story. This one is 4 3/4 years old
