Disabling active air dam?

[FORDTEXAS]

Does it anybody know if you can deactivate the active air dam without physically removing it? Like pull a fuse or forscan etc..?

Unplug the motors.

Just curious...Why would you want to disable the air dam? I understand clearance for off-roading, but this thing doesn't deploy until 40 or 45mph, right? Genuinely curious.

It doesn't look as good going 0 mph, though

at zero MPH the air dam should be in the up position and out of sight. it lowers above 45mph

Is off-roading the main reason people want to disable this?

plus if you select 4h it will not deploy. i havent tried it on 4A yet.
somebody has to have the parameters written down somewhere

What @mattchops said haha!
On a serious note though a lot of folks have hit random road debris with the active air dam and i'm not looking to be a victim of that sh*t.

But the "active" part is hidden behind the fixed part until you hit 40mph or so. You need to just remove the whole damn thing if the looks bother you.

I just wish the there were a way to deploy it at 0mph to clean it. WTF are you supposed to do?

Also if you live anywhere that it snows, there’s always dickheads that shovel their snow into the street and then there’s the folks who think it’s perfectly fine to let the wind at 50-60mph on the highway clean the snow and ice off their vehicles.

A chunk of ice is definitely taking the air dam out and most people are fine with all-seasons and 2H in mixed winter conditions.
