The jumper gives it constant power. This Curt adapter (I thought) serves the purpose of letting you "hardwire" something into the trailer wiring without making the truck think a trailer is hooked up.

Good point as well.

I still don't understand why you would use a Rube Goldberg machine when a couple of simple bit flips will address your issue the proper way.

Livnitup, is there an ABS tab on the spreadsheet? I don't see one, but there are a few ABS code changes shown.

Lesson for the day: Fusions do not have power folding mirrors but Mondeo's of the same year do. Fusion owners can order EU Mondeo parts, install, wire and enable it that way with ForScan, it's apparently already been done by a Canadian on the 2G Ford Fusion forums. If anyone is interested in the mod go over to that website.

No there's not because there's no appropriate ABS profile in my other software to use to map out the F150 values.

If the truck detects any current flowing through the brake light/turn signal wires in the trailer connector, and maybe the marker light wire, it will announce a trailer is attached and disable all of the features discussed earlier.

Ford has put a wire in the driver side kick panel for use when putting a topper on your truck. The topper is required to have the high third brake light. The wire is in the kick panel to make it easy to wire that high third brake light. Why don't you use that wire to power your add-on?

I have a 2017 2 wd with 302a package. I just installed a set of anzo switchback headlights with led switchback blinker bulbs. I’m trying to have the drl set to where the anzo switchback are lit white and the front turn signal are lit white. I can’t seem to find this. Can someone help me out? I tried the parking and turn signal set as drl but that makes the switchback and turn signal light up Amber.

also, I have installed bixenon hid projectors and bulbs in the upper (low beam) housing. I had previously programmed for Bambi mode but am wanting to turn that off now but for some reason I did not record the stock values for that particular modification. Can anyone help me with the stock value so I can return that to normal operation as well?

I don't think you can get both the outer halo & turn signals lit white with the Anzo switchbacks at the same time but someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Here's the value to turn off Bambi mode (the bold zero below is listed in case you set it to remember the setting but the bold 1 will disable it)

Thank you livinitup. If I just manually turn on my Parking lights they will both light up white. So I’m sure it can be done so they are used in that configuration for drl. I seen there was a configuration for parking lights only as drl but it was stated it was for led only so I didn’t try it.
