For example if you toggle the flash to pass on steering column the SCCM module send request to BCM to execute the flash to pass. If you request Auto Highbeams the IPMA module send a request to SCCM to execute that. The headlamp switch is handled by the LIN bus, but BCM checks the switch for any...
The problem with "AI" is that it acts like giant blender of past designs and outputs stuff that is hard to swallow. I would suggest to look at past concepts done by famous car designer for the Mustang and why those made a splash when introduced to the public. They all had the 1964 Mustang DNA...
Thanks, great to know that the board has conformal (epoxy) coating. Looks like the weakest link are the male pins. In proper connector mating one would like to see both male and female pins plated with the same metal (nickel,gold,etc). I am guessing that the female plug pins have the same...
OK, I decided that I would add per pin schematics functionality to each of the eight (C2280A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H) BCM connectors for future reference. This could be handy when in later years I may need to do some troubleshooting on the BCM. It is also easier to see what some of the functions are...
Yes, you would think the extra cost of gold pins or conformal coating on the PCB plus maybe dielectric grease on the pins would save tons of money later as the vehicle ages, but Ford costs per vehicle would go up.
For example, the interior of a normal home appliance isn't protected against...
BBOWES9 - thanks very much for posting these pictures of the BCM. Based on other posted pictures from the forum I have been able to better understand all the BCM connectors and their functions.Your posted photo of the male connector pins I would guess that the pins are not gold plated (maybe...
We forget that for many buyers GT with what ever options is not the same as DH-SC. It is all about the bragging rights at car shows and C+C meets and having something special with limited production numbers.
Just like the original Ford-GT that had MSRP of ~140K when it came out are now...
Thank you 'DARK SPRITE" now I know that my spoiler must have been a prototype or first engineering article to be verified by the customer? Maybe the part cost too much in 2024 so they removed it for 2025 model year?/ ;-) I keep wondering how many parts on my DH are invisible to the Ford parts...
