Spotlight Control Module not working after install
2016 XLT SCC 5.0
Wondering if I can get some insight as to why this SCM isn't working.
I connected the SCM under the dash to the two available connectors (green and black).
The on/off buttons were added and connected. They are not illuminated though. (Terminals 1,2,4,6 do not have 12 volts which is supplied by the SCM).
I then used Forscan to enable the SCM in the Body Control Module. (726-56-01 0000-0100-0186)
Nothing works.
I tested the spotlight with an external 12v power source and it works.
Any ideas? Do I have a faulty SCM (from vehicle recyclers)

Hint: If you want people to help you, you need to supply some information.
Model year, trim level, other options, aftermarket mods, etc.

Thanks for the diagram. I did refer to it. Pint 1 and 3 have power. 2 does not. Thinking that activating Spotlight enables pin 5 <5mph, I tried again in Forscan but no luck. I took a jumper and jumped 1 to 2 and the SCM lit up the mirror spotlight - it functions! So it seems that either a) Forscan has not activated the BCM thus not sending 12 v to terminal 2 OR b) there is something wrong with line CLF76. Is it possible the FET malfunctioned at the BCM?? What can I do to check and narrow down the problem?

Did you confirm your PID change? It is easy to make a mistake. Don't ask me how I know.
