Question for those with Factory LED bed lights

[kb2755]

I just went out to take a picture of the symbol on the IPC and I could not make it happen. I was also getting the park brake coming on when I put the truck into park. I don't get either one now. No park brake on and tailgate open symbol. I updated my truck Saturday morning and all afternoon Saturday, the park brake would come on by own. I don't know what is going on.

Funny enough, day 3 of owning the truck, I was hauling some people and stuff. Left the truck running as they got out to get their stuff out of the back and when I came back, I had a message "Tailgate may be open" or something along those lines. Yellow/black alert that was in the centre of the info cluster (XLT so hybrid analog/digital screen). Opening and closing the tailgate didn't clear the error. I just hit "OK" and drove away.

I've never seen this error since and I haven't received any software updates that I'm aware of - still on 21297 since taking delivery.

I ordered my 22 Lariat without the bed utility package and then added the OEM led lights in the bed afterwards. I made the changes in Forscan and they now turn on when using zone lighting, the switch in the bed and the button on the dash.
I did notice that opening the tailgate from the fob or opening it manually doesn’t activate them. So my question for anyone with them factory installed is do they turn on when the tailgate opens? I’d assume they should and that I may be missing a Forscan change I need to make. if anyone with factory LED bed lights can tell me if they turn on automatically when using tailgate release on fob or manually opening the tailgate I’d appreciate it.

They do not turn on when you open the tailgate

No, they do not come on automatically, but do shut down on time delay.

They do not come on when the tail gate is opened

I have a ‘21 PB and my lights do not turn on when I open the tail gate in any of the three ways, gotta go push the button manually……….talespin

And you have XLT, so definitely no powered tailgate. Did you have the Bed Utility Package, or no?

In the other thread @WDWFordGuy didn't have a warning and was working on adding the circuit, but maybe he has updated and now has the warning? He had a '21 XLT, but US.

@kb2755 you mentioned the cargo lights, but do you have the Tailgate Ajar warning as well?



Do you have the Bed Utility Package, or no?

So if anyone who has a US '22 without the Bed Utility package would chime in if they have the Tailgate Ajar warning, that might be informative.

So far anyone with it is a '21, or '22-Candian.

'21 XLT Powerboost, electric open but not motor driven.

Still no tailgate open warning. From some playing I did it is in the program but I cannot make the input work.

Just checking in on this thread - just installed OEM bedlights on my XLT. Button works great, Zone Lighting for the rear works great; but lights dont come on when opening the tailgate. I've been messing around with bits in forscan, but haven't been able to make it work... Would love a solution to this.
