Has anyone found a way to stop all the lights coming on when a door is opened on a PX1.
This ute is mainly a caravan tug, which it does very well, but open any door during the night and it lights up like a Christmas tree.
As you can imagine, It's bloody annoying!
When the police had them the lights function was turned off, but I can't find out how they did it.
Even how / where to cut/ bypass the wiring to the BCM would be better than what it does at the moment.

Thanks in advance

Not 100% sure but I think there's a setting called 'Police mode' (called silent mode in the PX2) that stops all lights and horn beeps, accessible using Forscan. It's certainly there for the PX2.

Maybe someone nearby with Forscan and an obd2 dongle can chime in and help?

We found the one for the PX2, but nobody seems to know about the PX1
Ford doesn't want to know anything about it as well

It cannot be disabled on the PX1.
