Why thanks, you may want to update your spreadsheet with the BCM entry i found (tricky that one), and thanks for the ones you did have, they worked great. Without the other BCM entry, the ambient will only work until the truck turns off lamps after close the doors, then BCM will not reactivate the ambient when doors opened, until yet another BCM is reset in forscan, not at all useful in every day life! I found the entry by doing BCM compare and then trying about 14 different potential changes...that was fun with about 30 BCM flashes to find it.

I'm confused about your entry of 726-39-01, it is widely held among FORScan testers with many Ford models that it is powerpoint (12V) timeout for that address. Could it be that this is what you tied power into for this mod? Regardless, I'll test this out with my own stock ambient lighting and see if I reach the same conclusion you did.

I changed the next byte over from yours.
726-39-01 1194 0100 000D
726-39-01 1194 0101 000E
The line doesn't matter as much as the bits do.
So in my case, with my change change left powepoint byte as it was, (12V DC receptacle )Timeout enabled AND changed next byte over to Ambient Enabled.

As you say, your bit change is most likely correct, i don't doubt that.

Who knows. My wife has a '16 Fusion Titanium with all of the options, with MFT rather than Sync 3.
My Truck has Sync 3 (1.0).
While the functionality of the features, particularly the accuracy of the voice recognition is better in my truck, the overall layout of Sync 3 looks like it was released 10 years before the MFT. From what I understand, Ford has determined that the plain black and white screens are easier to use while driving. While that may be the case, it is a pretty "low end" interface as compared to the MFT, as well as compared to GM's offering in their trucks.

I updated the main thread with connector diagram pin outs. What i did was look at wire colors of connectors i could see into, and verified existing colors matched the connector pin out for stuff i did have, then i knew i was dealing with right connector.
Not sure of the doors or center console yet, this was from call out and parts guy. When i get those parts in i will verify correctness and snap some pics this time. All i had was this from fordparts.com and parts guy local looked stuff up in computer. D, E, F for the doors are the right parts i think, but i may have locations mixed up. I will know more and update once i get them. Please don't order this yet until i can verify, i would hate to tell you wrong.

More parts came in today.
14A318C FL3Z-14A318-L Front Seat Passenger $15.62
14A318D FL3Z-14A318-N Front Seat Driver $11.92
Snap right in place under the seats to do rear footwells...no brainer, again like front footwells, no real difference between these 2 parts i can tell.
13C724 FL3Z-13C724-D Front Door, LH $31.52
13C724 FL3Z-13C724-D Front Door, RH $31.52
13C724B FL3Z-13C724-E Rear Door, RH $25.98
13C724B FL3Z-13C724-F Rear Door, LH $25.98
Are definitely the correct parts, i have no idea what part goes in what door, they all look the same, probably obvious right and lefts for the curve of the bottom of the door handles that shine in the door pockets. Won't know for sure of fitment, as i will be tearing into the doors over weekend.
14A318H FL3Z-14A318-V Floor Console Cup Holder $42.53
Most of the night i have been slowly cutting slots in the cup holder and mounting the cup holder lamps. I cut the slots in the cup holder with razor blade, then painted the cut plastic edge black, can't really see it, but being careful. Drying where i glued it in place. Should look just fine. Tricky to cut, tricky to glue up. What i did looks just like factory. I may try to get the factory cup holder from ford, it will be more solidly mounted i think. I will post pictures of the cup hold install once dried tomorrow and i can snap one going back together with my wiring harness fed from dash to center console.
13E701 FL3Z-13E701-B Front Door, LH Housing $1.83
13E701 FL3Z-13E701-B Front Door, RH Housing $1.83
13E701B FL3Z-13E701-A Rear Door, RH Housing $2.15
13E701B FL3Z-13E701-A Rear Door, LH Housing $2.15
Not even sure what the heck the Bs are for. As look like some extension plastic for more light in side pocket? Not sure i even need any of these really.
More pics as i mount cup holder and light it up, it works in testing.

Question for someone with factory ambient lighting already.
When i open the doors, no key, ambient lights are a blueish green color no matter my color settings on MFT screen. When i turn on key, they switch to my selected ambient MFT screen color.
Is this normal operation?
I suppose i could RTFM.

I have the keyless start so key on is power on from push button.
