Hi, just curious if you’ve checked/looked at your led bulbs flashing for a while to see if they are consistently flashing correctly.

I changed 726-13-01 to all zeros but -14- was already all zeros. The hyperflash goes away but the bulbs do not flash normally, consistently. They will flash fine a couple times and then they’ll kind of flicker. Occasionally the right side will actually change from amber to white mid-flash if my parking lights are on.

I don’t expect you to check yours now but if you do, make sure the vehicle is running and in drive. In drive is when mine have the most issues.

Yes mine flash correctly after entering the codes. They work correctly on all modes.

Is there any way to get the Climate controls on the RH screen in the cluster? My wife's explorer has this, but missing in the SHO.

No that is a firmware limitation that forscan cannot change. I believe 2013 is the only year Taurus that has this.

I have Forscan and made some changes to my car but does anyone know if we can "configure," our tail lights? I know you can on the Fusion. I also changed my Audi tails with coding. I thought it would be cool to mess around with them - not sure I ever liked the "rectangle," look.

Never looked into this but I would guess you can since the interceptors do not have leds for the outboard lights. The Fusions have done this, not sure if you can accomplish what you set out to do though but try searching for fusion forums for a clue where to start.

I'm pretty sure the police interceptors just use the 09-12 tail lights that used conventional bulbs. Must be a maintenance cost thing for fleet service vehicles. Replacing a burned out LED with the whole housing and lens is way more expensive than a replacement 3157 bulb.

Anyone know if you can add a digital speedometer using Forscan to 2013+ models Taurus/MKS like in the YouTube video below...?

The interceptors are all red no clear like both the standard 2010-12 and 2013+.

No, firmware limitation same as the climate screen.

I would also like climate on right side and tps monitoring. I have a 14 sho. Is the 2013 cluster panel interchangeable or will that not work?

I have recovered a copy of the "2010-2019 Taurus As-Built Data Modification.xlsx" spreadsheet from an old backup. Forum Administrator: Is it okay for me to post a link to this?

I doubt it's not allowed here...

I'll be the first to say, send the link to me, and I'll preserve it, if you're not allowed to link it here.

This is an old thread but during my research on Forscan mods I came across this thread. Looking through the mod excel, I saw that you can change the output of the audio (asm). Will the stock system output a line level (59) without the song badged amp and speakers? I feel like it's cheaper to make a head unit that does everything and just add the Sony parts , that would increase margins for ford. Here's hoping.
