I've had my 22 F-150 Lariat with a 2.7 for just over 2 years now. Shortly after takng popssesion I found out about Forscan. I went bat ---- crazy. Lots of mods and upgrades. I was happy with everthing I did EXCEPT! For the love of God I can't get the Global Windows mod to. work. I have painstakenly loaded the values in 25+ times with no luck whagtsoever. Everything seems to load and the values are excepted but no windows up or down. So what am I doing wrong? Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

I too, have grown quite comfortable using Forscan, but I am by no means anything close to an "expert", so this is really a shot in the dark....

Certain Forscan mods require "the latest update" to the module that is affected. Without that module being updated, the Forscan mod just won't work. For example, I really want the to make the Trailer Sideview (Sideview Mirror Cameras Enabled For Lane Change When Towing) Forscan mod, but it requires the latest APIM update, which I don't have (and it could be a very long time - if ever - if it comes OTA). I bought a Mongoose cable and plan to get a temp FDRS license and update it myself (I just haven't gotten around to it yet - that's a whole 'nother project....). Anyway, it seems to me that could be one possibility as to your Forscan update issues.

On your fob, are you pressing the lock button briefly once, releasing and then promptly pressing and holding to raise the windows? Same with unlock to lower the windows?

On the second push, hold down until you see the windows start to move up / down.

(..... offered just in case the mod is fine but the actuation technique is wrong .....)

And did you go into Sync and turn "on" both up and down?

I could not get this to work on my 22. Finally just gave up. All other changes worked fine.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions guys. I have seen multiple refrences to Global windows through the modules using Forscan and it has confused me completey. For Jimfoutain, could you go into more detail about: go into Sync and turn "on" both up and down? I dont remember seeing that capability in Forscan.

BAZINGA! I went to the thread that UGADOG96 posted and that led me to a thread by JOHN917. In it he mentions going into the trucks settings then to windows and making sure the "REMOTE" toggles were turned ON. Yes of course they wern't. After over two years of agrivation and frustration all is well again in this little piece of Ford Country. Now Glare Free lighting is next as soon as I figure out what "reset APIM in Forscan after these changes" means
Thanks again to all.
