Has anyone tried to tap into any of the USB ports to have constant power even when the truck is off? It is frustrating to me to have this truck with every optoin including the ones that i didn't want, but cannot charge my phone if my truck is turned off.

 

I believe this can be changed with Forscan

 

I plugged a dual-port high-current USB adapter into the power point inside our truck's center console (front, right, bottom). I believe it remains powered for 75 minutes after the truck's ignition is turned off. The 75 minute time may also apply to the other power points; don't know about the USB ports.

I've tried that...i can"t get power to anything once i turn the truck off and open a door. It sucks lol

 

Just change the time out in Forscan.

 

Hmmm... I'm running a 75 minute confirmation test in our truck right now. So far, so good. More in an hour or so...

Exactly what I do.

 

I just had to run a quick errand and so had to cut the experiment short. However, after ~60 minutes, the center console power point was still on.

My center console power point stays hot for at least 75 minutes as well, odd some do not.

 

May a bum setting in the (body module?). The dealer should be able to do an update, or FORscan allows for a broad range of settings.

I need to find someone in the Galveston, Texas are with a Forscan for rent/hire!

 

I'm in the area (Manvel). PM me and we can work something out.

 

Thanks for the reply! I can't PM yet, but if you could shoot me an email i would greatly appreciate it

Using FORScan you can change the settings so the power to the rear plugs (USB and 110v) can be on 24/7

 

Ford has a bulletin on early build 2017 models for the timing, they will update the BCM software for free, that should get you what others are reporting if you don't want to go the Forscan route.
