Both front windows on mine do. not the back. You have to keep pushing/pulling the button and the rear ones.

That’s a safety feature,, my front ones go up and down using the FOB.

How? I wasn't aware that you could control the windows with the FOB.

Check out the Forscan sticky.

Default Driving lights

Not sure if it's been asked already but I have a 15 f150 Lariat, 302A, is there's way to disable the automatic driving lights without pulling the fuse? Read the owner's manual and haven't found anything helpful. Nothing in my settings either. Is it not doable on the 15s?

Do you mean the auto headlights or the DRL’s or something else?

Once you select a gear other than park the low beams come on. The owner's manual says there's a setting but that option doesn't exist. I've read mixed reviews, some say it's not an option on the 15s, also heard to pull the fuse.

Ok that’s your DRL’s. If you have a US model then it should be an option on the IPC menu. If you have a Canadian model it is not in the menu. Either way you can set up the menu option with Forscan so that you can turn it on or off.

Default Simpler Jack Storage

This is a tiny fix, but I no longer curse when trying to remove or replace the jack behind the rear seat. I've been using the jack quite a bit recently for maintenance. For example, making sure the lug nuts are properly torqued after new tires were installed. Storing it behind the seat was difficult and too complicated.

I found it's a lot easier to secure the jack on the two metal posts behind the seat if the jack is raised slightly. Then lower it once it's on the posts and the jack itself will act as a clamp to prevent the jack from coming loose. Raise the jack a little to loosen it and it'll slide easily off of the posts.

Forget all the velcro straps. Just put the jack handle back in the cloth bag and drape it over the jack. Everything will stay put just fine.

I can assure you that it's an option, on the XLT at least; I dunno about the Lariat. It was one of the first things I disabled in my '15. It should be in the menu on the IPC. If you have a Canadian truck, then it may not be an option, as I believe DRL's are required by law in Canadia. Check to see where your truck was manufactured.
