What I need help in is Forscan doesn't see the Module so I can't program the IPC. Is there any way to check the module or force Forscan to search more am I using the right MS wires how can I check. Is the a way I can add the line of code. Any help would be thankful as I'am at a standstill here now. Thanks
When you connect in FORScan click no when it brings up your saved VIN profile; this will cause it to try and re-discover all connected modules.

If you haven't already, you should go to https://www.motorcraftservice.com/Purchase/ViewProduct and purchase a 72 hour access to your trucks service manual. This will give you all of the diagrams that are correct for your truck to check the wire & color combinations. Note that the first time you go to this site you will need to select your location, then click the "Service Info" link to get to the page shown above.

As far as FORScan, @Livnitup will be the best source for info involving that.

If you connect in FORScan and it doesn't see the PRB (Power Running Board) module then I suspect something isn't wired correctly with respect to the MS-CAN wires or it would be found on the network. Let me dig up the wiring diagram and have a look...

Yes, during that 72 hour period...or how ever long you choose to buy, you can download all of the documents / diagrams for your vehicle

Thanks Livnitup most of those I have and they worked great the only thing I might have wrong is the tie in colors and they are of a heaver gauge wire. Module wires are 22 gauge wires in door sill are 18 maybe 20 and like I said previous one is violet and org I believe the + one is brown and yellow stripe I believe brown for sure is main color
