Having the same issue with that adapter. Could never get it to read past the OBDII module like yourself. I sent it back to Amazon and had them send me a new one thinking it was a bad cable but the issue persists. I ended up using an older cable that my buddy had with the manual switch which is working for me for now.

I sure hope they eventually get the firmware dialed so the Vlinker FS works though.
Good to see I'm not the only one. My new Link EX cable will be here Monday and hopefully that will be the end of my woes

2021 Ford F150 Tremor

Super Duty Full Brightness DRL - 726 - 42 - 01

x2x2 - xxxx - xxxx

My Tremor came with a 2K Generator, after I did the mod I got a message about my generator

Pro Power Onboard is currently unavailable. Reset the system using the SYNC screen. See owner’s manual for details.

After that I got another message,

Pro Power on board turned off.

Pro Power Onboard detected a ground fault. Reset the system using the SYNC screen.

Took it to ford service and I was informed that it’s a known software update issue, connect to Wifi and do an OTA update from home don’t have to go to any dealer, they gave me a print out about the recall. Will post a picture of the recall once I pick up my truck.

Just wanted to follow up on this, did the dealer fix the issue? Also wanted to know, was the Super Duty Full Brightness DRL, made the Pro Power Onboard issue? Thinking of doing the same mod, wanted to see how bright they look now.

Let me know please!
Finally had the chance to go take a look. I'm on the Power Up 2.1.0 update and still have access to all my modules including the IPC. I also just realized we practically have identical trucks lol.

That is very odd. I’m gonna buy the newer cable and try again today. I’m genuinely concerned as no idea what’s going on for me. Haha I have to ask, was my setup inspiration or did you build on your own and it’s coincidental? ?

No at the moment the still haven’t done an over the air update, still waiting, and no the full brightness did not affect the pro power onboard it’s already a know issues I’m pretty sure soon there will be a recall. My truck and generator still working perfectly.

Looks so good, and okay! Does it stay that bright when you put it on mode 2 (side marker Mode) on the switch or does it become dim? To confirm, is this the line to change?

100% coincidental, I did this back in April and didn’t join the forum until a month or so ago.

Nice lol. I got mine right before Christmas last year and when I saw these wheels I knew they were the ones.

Yes that’s the line to change, and yes they stay bright with headlights or parking lights on, it will stay bright all the time.

Awesome, thanks a lot for this! Been looking around for this specific mod because I don’t know why Ford likes to dim the led bar on second mode on the switch every time, it looks so bad. This definitely looks so much better! Thanks!

The reason why it was dimmed, it’s because there where a lot of complaints about people getting blinded by oncoming traffic, looked like they where getting high beamed, so Ford made this as a recall, to avoid accidents and you know the rest (sued), my 2019 f50 had the full brightness on, I took it in for some other recalls and this was one of them, when I got it back they where dimmed, so I had to do the mod with Forscan again to make them bright , so that’s the reason why all the LED are dimmed when your parking or head lights are on

Thanks for the clarification for that, I did hear about that issue a few times. I didn’t know that was an issue at all, my 2020 F-150 stayed bright the entire time (I’m up in Canada), which was weird. Love the LED bar in full time brightness to be honest and they look a lot better with LED tails and don’t need the low beams on during certain times. Thanks again for this!
