Disable daytime running lights

[RVtravelz]

I think some people see the thread title and just start commenting without reading or even understanding what it’s all about.
No BCM at all? I find that hard to believe but then again I can’t find it in the forscan options either.
Yes, I also only see those two modules as well. Sure seems like a modern F53 chassis would have more parameters.

Please be safe on the road.

Some folks just do not care about safety, there's or anyone elses.

Yes, I definitely believe that some people comment without having a clue about what's being discussed. I originally imagined this thread as covering Forscan technical topics for Ford chassis owners but it got derailed.
Back on topic... What would a BCM be needed for on an F53 stripped chassis? There are no interior lights, headlights or power windows to control. What else would it be needed for? I really do think that it just doesn't exist. At least not on the older V10 chassis. Maybe the newer 7.3 V8 F53 will need a BCM for it's added systems? I am going to be at a Ford service center soon. I will try to find out what they know about my missing BCM theory.
You have a late model Bounder? What are the other lights that you are trying to use as DRL's? The LEDs around the headlights themselves?

[RVtravelz]

Yes, 2016 f53 chassis Bounder. I’m talking about the halo of led’s around the headlights.
That really sucks if it’s not there. I have searched the forscan.org website but find no help with this application. They say a complete scan is required and the info is then saved to a log file. I should then be able to access and change any adaptations or configurations. The problem is finding the module.

I've got a V8 bounder, I'll give it a look and see if there are more modules on mine.

I am also trying to figure out the same, my backup plan was to pull the drl fuse and just put 12v to those Halo lights off an ignition switched feed, but if there was a swap with parking lights option that would be amazing... But I am doubting it.

Back on topic...

Then you got the wrong topic heading. Misleading.
Your topic title has driven this discussion exactly as I might imagine, from the start.

Well just take your biggest BB gun and be done with it.. simple fast and cheap.. if you don't like something this much.. then get it off... I suggest you don't buy something with things you don't like.. my uncle would buy a brand new car.. 1st thing he did when he got home with it... was to cut all seatbelts off of it.. all of them.. why I asked all and just not driver's side.. sence he was driving.. he said.. if am going to die.. I don't want anyone else in this car to survive..
Go figure.. I have things that bother me too.. I take them off.. or just don't buy it..
Good luck and let us know what you did and maybe better members then me will help you

Well I'll be damned, looks like the v8's got a whole bunch of modules. Here's a look at my 2020 chassis with Forscan lite (erased my vin... cause you know).

Now the bigger question. Which forscan license do I need to actually play with the BCM values, I'm guessing the extended license?

You need to go to forscan.org and get the extended license. It’s very cheap, only a few bucks.
I am only seeing PCM, ABS & IC modules on mine. I need to go back and try again.
The BCM is where you need to look. The next thing is figuring out the configuration code.
