Amber DRL via forscan?

[A.alansari]

this is another option from GPT incase the first one didn't work



Step 1: Modify Left and Right Headlamp Modules (LDCMA + LDCMB)

In FORScan:
- Module: LDCMA (Left Headlamp Control)
- 6F6-01-07: Change from 9504 to 5504
- 6F6-01-08: Change from 3F00 to 0F00
- Module: LDCMB (Right Headlamp Control)
- 6F7-01-07: Change from 9504 to 5504
- 6F7-01-08: Change from 3F00 to 0F00

Meaning:
- Assigns amber LEDs to DRL1/Park Control (Value '5').

Step 2: Modify BCM (Body Control Module)

In FORScan:
- Module: BCM (Body Control)
- Go to As-Built format
- Locate address 726-27-01 (Position Lamp Activation Strategy).

Edit:
- Set first nibble (or use FORScan dropdown if available) to enable:
"Position Lamps Activation with Ignition ON"

Typical change:
- 726-27-01 xxxx xxxx 01 --> means position lamps always ON with ignition.

Note:
- Some BCM versions may label this differently, but FORScan usually shows it clearly.

Step 3: Finalize and Test

I asked chat gpt and I got the answer in the text file attached but looks like is the same as what you guys tried

I uploaded my as build to chat GPT to let him tell me exactly what to change and he told to do this I didn't tried them

Address​	Old Value​	New Value​	Purpose​
6F6-01-07 (Left)​	9504​	4504​	Assign amber LED to Turn + Parking + DRL.​
6F6-01-08 (Left)​	3F00​	0F00​	Disable tri-bar white DRL.​
6F7-01-07 (Right)​	9504​	4504​	Same on right side.​
6F7-01-08 (Right)​	3F00​	0F00​	Disable right tri-bar white DRL.​

I tried ChatGPT just for fun but he doesn't know nothing about Forscan values. He is just guessing or copying some other values that were shared on the internet.

so it's not safe to use these values?

so it's not safe to use these values?

I haven't verified your values to say that, but what ChatGPT does is they find something similar the internet talks about and give that to you as a result. Could be from a F150, or another Ford, which works different than the Mustang.

What I also found out is that ChatGPT first doesn't know anything about a specific topic and when I share some Forscan values on the Forum and ask ChatpGPT again, it gives me the values that I shared in the forum, even when I shared values that are not working. ChatGPT just copy pastes values that he can find on the internet, but is not accurate at all.

Example:

Let's say there is another Ford called Ford Wild Horse. The internet knows nothing about this car. When you ask ChatGPT something about it, he wouldn't know much about the Wild Horse.

Especially on coding the Wild Horse.
When I create a thread on this forum about changing the DRL on the Wild Horse with specific numbers and go back to ChatGPT, it will give me the values that I, or somebody else shared about the Wild Horse. Even ahen these numbers are not correct, because that's the only info ChatGPT can find.

If you tell ChatGPT again that these numbers are incorrect, it will give you a second set of values. This time from another Ford model and it will keep on going like that.

Yeah you are correct i was trying to help with gpt since i don't understand these values

so for job 1 it can't be done unless you change the module that controls the lights but
for job 2 it can be done with forscan

Hopefully someone is able to get it done with a job 2 car, then let's us job 1 guys know how to do it!

i asked the guy how much it will cost to do it since my car job 1 and now the waiting game he responds every few days with 1 message and disappears

I'm used to it, I've been following this since this topic originated in January of last year

 

[GrabThatBlue]

I'm going to try the DRL thing today again. After this I'm done with this. I don't even need the amber DRL, I'm just trying everything out for people who want them. It's not even allowed in my country lol.

So this is the video where the guy from Saudi Arabia managed to change the DRL to amber.

What we can see is that he only changed 1 side, just to show people the difference.

What I've learned from this, is that whatever change he made, it is per side and not something that changes both.

So it could either be a change in LDCMA and LDCMB or it could be some other value in BCM which specific tells you the change is only for Left or Right.

All the adresses regarding this change are already mentioned in this thread. So it should be one of those lines but since I have a Job 2 and didn't get it to work, this means it might be a combination of BCM and LDCMA/B.

I actually don't understand how these addresses work this is just idea
Is there a way to turn the drl off
And then going to the turn signals and try different values to something that will make them turn signal to act as drl
Its like a combination as you said and it won't work unless you turn the DRL off first

Yes, that's what's @Sofa King also mentioned before. The only thing is, we have to find the right lines.

 

[Sofa King]

I have Job 1 car, so I'm SOL on these... I too was just trying to help others out... not sure I would even use them if I could...

Really hoping to see you figure it out @GrabThatBlue !

 

[Sofa King]

It would be nice to know which module(s) needs to be swapped out... may give us a clue.
