I went to my local dealership Tuesday and they said there were 3 in Memphis. I got mine today.
I ordered from Tasca I think July 26th or there abouts. It was delivered August 10th.

Maybe I got the last one?

That was actually a bit of sarcasm. Didn't mean I actually got the last one......:)

I was trying to be helpful Incase you actually did get the last one. Lol. On another thread guys are saying it’s out of stock but somehow I ordered it Tuesday and got it today. I have no clue how Ford parts work but as of Tuesday there were 3 in Memphis according to the parts counter at my Houston area dealership. So maybe 2 left?????

Simple. Pry up the plastic it sits in. Reach under and press in the 4 clips, unplug, reverse procedure, done. 5 minutes max.

I give dmeyer302 credit for the pic of the plastic piece lifted up. Not my pic but his from earlier in this thread.

I ordered the new controller yesterday so I’m impatiently waiting. Any issues with turning on selected drive mode without the new part?

Also, what’s the FORScan voodoo requires to turn on the offroad screens. I’ve read through the thread, but there’s a lot of yammering about trail control, so it’s hard to sort out what’s what.

thanks!

I don't remember but I think it was as simple as enabling the mode off-road screen. I will pull up FORScan and see if I can find it.

I turned both the off road gauge and screen on prior to installing the switch, and then turned on selectable drive mode after. I doubt it matters with selectable drive mode since you need to press the button to change it.

There is a list in the wiki showing most of it. I did find that everything I was interested in was available as a menu pick in FORScan so you don't need to find the address and then change the hex.

I enabled the gauge as well. Like stated above, I put the switch in prior to enabling Select Drive Modes. Maybe it makes no difference but I wanted to have all of the equipment in place to make sure it did not throw a code.

Hi everyone? Have any of you guys tried this with a 2wd or is it even possible? I’ve been reading up wanting to do this for a minute but haven’t ran across if it’s been done on 2wd.

I know you can activate the off road screen because I have read others have done that. I would think the TM would not work because it switches in and out of 4wd depending on mode. I imagine the system would throw a code when it does not see 4x4 as an option since you are missing hardware. Cannot hurt to try then just turn it off if it does not work.

I wonder if the wiring and connector are even there to plug into. If I read right, It looks like the 4wd models came with the same wiring harnesses regardless of trim level, but I would think the wiring between a 2wd and 4wd would be significant. Might check before you buy a switch.
