Ranger Mods

i am looking to get a Bullbar with stand alone DRLs,
I have enabled DRL menu and Dedicated DRL in Forscan but it only shows up greyed out, there is no options in the IPC, what am i doing wrong?

Also what would the pinout be and where would i have to wire back to to get dedicated DRL on a 2016 Ranger XLT? the wiring seems to be there on a 2017 Everest, Extra wire at headlight plug i noticed when moving Spotlights between the two vehicles.

I have an Ironman bull bar with stand alone LED DRLs on my XLS and I just fitted a relay powered by ignition and ran them off that.

Sounds like you have not changed or have an error in line 726-16-02 or 726-26-02, see below.

You would need to wire back to the BCM. The pins and wires will not be installed and will need to be installed to make use of the menu function.

I still have some BCM DRL pin kits packed away if you are looking for them me me.


IPC 720-02-01 xx4x xxxx xxxx Enable DRL Menu, Disable Lane Assist and Disable Chimes Without Tech Pack Settings > Vehicle > Lighting

726-45-01 xxxx 7Fxx xx Allow all DRL Choices at 726-50-01

726-50-01 01xx DRL Disabled
10xx DRL Enabled - Dedicated H15 in High Beam
02xx DRL - Low beams
04xx DRL - Front fog lamps
08xx DRL - Front idicator lamps
20xx DRL - High beams
40xx DRL - Low beams and dedicated H15 DRL

I have an XLS and the DRL works for me. Currently running low beams as my bullbar doesn't have fog lamps. What I would like to see in the DRL setup is front parking lamps. Is this possible Stewart?

Love ya work!

Ian

if you're using the latest version of Forscan you will see 1 option in the IPC and 5 in the BCM non asbuilt that need to be enabled and written. I used the quick change again on the weekend on 5 vehicles with out a problem so I would say you have missed one quick change option.

Hi Saeb,
Are you able to detail the change i need to make for DRL in the BCM non as built to make the fog lights the DRLs. I can see the option to enable in IPC.

Cheers
Jason

Hey Stewart,
Did you end up finding the drl bcm pins? Bullbar has now arrived and im ready to make things happen.

Yes, will look at shipping out next week. PM details please.

I have set fog lamps as DRL with parklights. Originally it was high beams with parklights.
When control switch is set to AutoLamp, h15 low beams come on if light is to dim (tunnel). The setting from factory is 15 sec on and 2 sec off.

Does any one know if that could be changed. I believe I saw something / somewhere for 726-26-01. It should be set for x1x1 xxxx xxxx to use enable fast sensor and 1-2 sec for turn on, but mine is set to that from factory with 15s on/ 2s off. Somewhere else it is said that this only applies to F150, but I have also seen on a EU Edge MY17 had same setting and it had 1 sec on 1 sec off, it was however running HIDs from factory.

Any ideas?

Don't use other asbuilt from different models. eg. the F150, you will just get yourself into trouble.

Write back an original BCM asbuilt for a start to make sure you are back to default.

I don't understand that you used high beams for DRL in the past?
Have you changed your headlight globes?
I do not understand the 15 sec on and 2 sec off.

I think from what you are saying is that you want to allow fog lights as DRL? If yes then after you default, watch the video on this page and make those changes viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1341

Hi Stewart.

Question was more regarding to Fords autolamp feature. Which works together with a ambient light sensor in the dashboard.
Normal Norwegian Ranger, has parklight and H11, running as DRL. H11 running then at modified intensity. When sensor detects darkness (you can cover it) after 15 seconds, DRL are turned off and H15 (projector lamps, low beam) are turned on. If H15 are on and sensor detects light again in will turn off H15 and normal DRL setting will turn on again after 2 seconds. This also works together with Autohighbeam, to turn on and off H11 highbeams automatically at night.

I was wondering if any one know if that feature (timer on/off) can be controlled with Forscan on a PX2 Ranger.

I have set fogs and parklight as DRL, because they give more lights then H11 highbeams running at modified intensity. Espesially when you drive in and out of tunnel, which are poorly lit.

I havent written any changes to 726-26-01, because mine asbuilt value is already at what others described values should change to if you want that timer to be less then 15s.

I understand now.

You have the right area and right options. I have never bothered to change from what the factory settings are so cannot confirm if it will work or not. Lots of settings are still based and firmware also.

Next time I plug in I will give the change a go and see what happens.

The only link this light sensor has is to the FCIM but this has no changes that apply either.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I have fitted the raptor grill and drl lights and wired them with the drl pin kit ( Thanks Stewart ).
Cluster control and lights work great, but they do function as standard drl probably should, on with day, off with night (lights On)
My intent was to be able to turn them on and off with the cluster control but have them on at night as well.
My final outcome I am trying to achieve is:

A. Drl grill on off by cluster control - done, working
B. Standalone Drl on during day - done working
C. Standalone Drl off with parking lights - done working
D. Standalone Drl not to turn off with low beam - ?
E. Standalone Drl not to turn off with high beam - ?

I realize now I could have just wired through an on/off switch from an ignition feed, but the pin kit, programming and cluster control was to techo for me not to do it.

The wiring and install is complete so I’m looking for a programming solution if possible to save my project.

If there is one - I did think it could also make an alternative driving light switch if you didn’t have Drl’s ( run to a switched relay, plus high beam signal, no after market switch needed to be fitted in the cab)

Thanks for any help.

Will not happen. Daytime running lights were never meant to run with headlights on due to the fact that headlights are normally on at night and factory drl's would be too bright.

You could possibly still make it work but it would probably require diodes and relays to achieve what you want to do. t the end of the day you do not want feedback into the current drl circuit or to the lighting circuit. Without over thinking bu also not thinking to hard, you would use 1 relay and 2 diodes while still keeping the existing cluster control.

Although maybe making your DRL low beam and wiring DRL lights to low beam circuit might solve your issue while still having cluster control.

I want to do that as well, since I don't really like the idea of messing with the original headlights looms. I'm concerned that my XLS is made in argentina and maybe my bcm is different than the one you are using to enable DRL, I suppose in any case I'll have to buy your wirin pins to make them work. Has anyone here done the same work on a Argie Ranger?

BCM will be the same, just different firmware.

Lightforce Custom sell a plug and play connector for the headlight so you only splice the patch loom.

I've been checking my headlights loom and I can see it has all wires in there, I suppose I only need to activate that function with the forscan software. I've ordered a dongle from aliexpress, I hope it doesn't take too long to arrive.

I also discovered that the car also has the connection for the oem fog lights, but I can't find the wires in the dashboard, I think I'll have to buy another stalk, but I don't know the part number. Can someone help me with that?

I think earlier you stated you have a PX2 with PX1 interior over there, we do not have this here so unfortunately cannot really help you with required parts.

Moses_dx, unsure what you are trying to post but it keeps getting blocked. I have whitelisted you atm so try again.

Ok, the chinese seller told me to connect a wire in the 3 pin connector to an unused pin in the fuse box, for now I just did that and I have the DRL working, but I'm concerned if I indeed have to take a new wire from the BCM for a proper DRL function. My XLT is still in carwash having a paint treatment, so I haven't checked if the DRL line only goes through the 3 pin connector or if it does come in the main connector as well. My XLS doesn't have an electric regulation for the low beam, while my XLT does have it

Chance is if you want to use factory DRL then you will have to repin and run new wires from the BCM through to your DRLs.

Hopefully I understood what you wrote correctly.

I have a strange problem, sometimes my low beams go off after flashing the high beams or use them, so I have to switch them on again. I thought it was because I connected the drl to an unused pin in the fuse box, but after removing the wire it keeps happening, but it happens half of the times only. I asked the aliexpress seller and he said it most likely a failure of my unit. I also asked a technician about my problem, he saed that it's very unlikely that I got a defective BCM or relays, most probably my stalk switch is defective. Has anyone here had that problem before?

Hoping I can get some help and info, when I enabled the DRL settings a while back, there was an option to choose which lights were to be used. I had the fog lights selected originally, now I don't want to run those as drl's, but when I go into forscan I can't seem to find the option to just run park lights, or any lights for that matter. Has anyone else come across this? Has this option been removed in a new update? Or am I doing something wrong and can I please be pointed in the right direction. Cheers

I've got some problems with my xls, it says I have a short circuit in both low beams, that's why my low beams are failing from time to time. I asked some technician about it and told me it's because of my new headlights.
