Default Programing 25' F150 headlight module

I Bought a 2025 F150 wrecked off auction and one headlight module missing so I ordered a new one installed it the light worked for a little bit. But now has decided to leave the vehicle and not work anymore. I was wondering if someone is willing to help me program the headlight module to adapt the vin number into the new module.

You can write the VIN to the HCM with FORScan. The VIN in kept in hex code on several modules. You can check block 19 of the IPMA for the VIN. VIN is in the IPMA in lines 706-19-01 through 706-19-04.

In the HCM, the VIN is written on lines 734-02-01 through 734-02-04. So basically, copy whatever you see on those 4 lines the in the IPMA to those 4 lines of the HCM and write it. That should take care of the VIN mismatch issue.

When you plug in and FORScan asks if it is the original profile, did you select no so it does a fresh scan?

Also, if I remember correctly, the HCM requires a LIN procedure when first installed. I think it can be done with FORScan....I don't remember. I have never done what you are doing. Just going off memory from things I've seen on the forums.
