Hey guys, it’s me again with the same question. My last post got zero replies so either no one knows or cares. I’d like to get a hold of livnitup as I’ve heard he has spreadsheets for forscan. I found them but they don’t tell me anything and I’m getting frustrated.
as I stated previously, my 2021 f150 had a coin tray where the brake controller went. I was able to purchase the controller and activate it through forscan no problem. I had a blank where the pro trailer goes and when I take it off there is a wire plugged into it. I purchased the button and plugged it in. Using forscan I was able to get it to light up but couldn’t get the “ON” to light up when I push it.
I was finally able to get it to turn on but nothing happens. The light comes on but that’s it. There are quite a few changes in multiple modules I have to make and I think I’ve done the obvious ones but still nothing happens when I push the button.
when I go to tow in features pro trailer comes up but I can’t not select set up. I can change the angle option but that’s it.
If anyone has any info on where to find the spreadsheets that actually give values or steps to get this done I’d be greatly appreciative. Someone hasn’t know how to do this. Please help
I’d also like to change the rear cameras ability to use it at speed. I know there is a way just, again, can’t find the spreadsheet.

You can find the spreadsheet and long discussions about all things Forscan here:

https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/thr...atabase-spreadsheet.1578/page-285#post-693458

As you can see from my post my 2021 (and others on the forum) are currently having issues with PTBA and the brake controller. And mine worked prior to some OTAs in 2023.

I am sure someone has done this but there are a number of modules with changes and nobody has posted a "recipe" of all the necessary changes (like say Glare Free). I haven't needed PTBA and the brake controller so I haven't spent the time to try/test. The list of changes between my truck not working and a friends that is work are found in my post. Maybe they can help you know where to look. If you figure it out post for others.

Its too hot here in Texas to mess with right now. My priority on this goes to high as elk season approaches :)
