Unless you dropped a virus, which took out ford, which I doubt,
look em straight in the eye and say "yeah, I programmed global windows"
what are they gonna do? unless your in there cause your global windows won't work , , ,

Dealers explanation is that Forscan is what caused their software to become corrupt. Don’t know I’m not tech savvy. At least it’s fixed now!

when replacing APIM tech scratched both sides of cover next to air vents, now have to wait while they check and reorder new covers😤

Dealer isn't tech savvy either.

Anyone have a Hex value for Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/60/20? I've been trying to do the GPS method so it is fine tuned but it seems like I can't get it perfect. I may try just the general hex value of 0A3B for 295/60/20

I've tried the following:
0A2B Speedo was 2-3mph high/fast
09C3 Speedo was 2mph low/slow

I would think if SW is modified it would be different than HW as HW may have tolerances where SW can be argued and be easier for Ford to cut you off in court. They will do anything to avoid warranty payouts

Baloney!

If that were the case, we would see hundreds of documented posts on this forum complaining about that. It's just not the case, only an unsubstantiated cynical statement.

I'm 73 years old and have owned many vehicles, and driven many company owned vehicles, and have never had that experience, not even once, from any dealer or manufacturer..

Maybe it's a Canadian thing?
