FORScan mistakes
So today I decided to jump on ForScan for the first time and change some things. I thought I saved my original factory settings, so I went crazy changing all kinds of things. Now I got problems.
1) My airbag light stays on
2) Passenger mirror will not fold in when I push the button
3) Tire pressure only displays on one tire on gauge cluster
4) Radio display has changed volume color to red
This is what I have found so far. I tried loading the "As-Built" to factory setting but it isn't changing anything. I can't find the factory setting that I saved before changing things. I have a pretty good feeling that it didn't save. I went to motorcraftservice.com and got my Module Built Data. That's a lot of numbers. I to download that to ForScan, but I can't figure that out either. I can post pics if needed. Any help to get me back to normal would greatly be appreciated.

So lets get some info out of the way
What MY
What trim level.
What changes did your make (or what modules did you make changes in)
When you downloaded your AsBuilt did you also make a readable copy in a spreadsheet ?

I recommend backing up every module before you start make any changes. Then make incremental backups as you go forward.

Yeah, I understand that now. Also, only making two changes at a time, then drive around for a couple days to see how I like it.

Alright, I have been trying to change my splash screen. I was able to change to the Ford GT screen once, but haven't been able to change it to anything else. Am I missing something that needs to be enabled/disabled to make it work?

I go into APIM and select Splash Screen (SS). Then I select a preferred SS and push the "WRITE" button. It loads and a window comes up and says to cycle ignition key off and back on. I turn key to off, open & shut the door, turn key back on (as multiple YT videos have shown). The SS is always the factory one, never the one I want to change it to. I've even driven the truck around and then cycled the key off and back on. Still, stays in factory SS.
