[PokerMunkee]

My ambient lighting goes back to ice blue after a week or a few days.  Never on next ignition recycle.  Wonder if they will update it...

 

[SHOdded]

I'd assume your relationship with the dealer will determine whether they will perform the TSB even if it is "out of scope" per the problem definition.  Doesn't seem to be any technical reason why your vehicle wouldn't qualify if it's experiencing the issue.

 

[jmr061]

I have offered in many places/forums to email the fix for the ambient lighting with sync ver 3.6.2

While it won't be recorded in your SYNC history it will be applied in your car and work.

Ford Module Programming (FMP) is a software application that allows subscribers to program electronic modules on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. It can be used for:

•Reprogramming emission-related (OBDII) modules on some vehicles manufactured in 1995 and all vehicles manufactured from 1996 to the present
•Reprogramming or reconfiguring non-emission-related modules on many vehicles (UBP and MS-CAN not supported)

In addition, module initialization (PATS) functions such as Keycode Erase/Reprogram and PCM Parameter Reset can be done using this application.
