Is ForScan needed for the Hvac read outs?

You can add them (+glove box) back for ~$150 and a little disassembly.

Any chance you have the part number for the HVAC digital temp readout?

I just picked up the climate control module with digital read out. Hoping to install once it warms up a bit

Would like to see when you are finished and how it was installing it.

This is what I got.

Yes, the media bin/cup holders/glove box lights are missing. I retro-installed then as the parts are readily available, and cheap. There’s a great section on the F150GEN14 website, and a contributor that makes a custom harness. Took me an hour to do all 3 lights. Note: while 2022s have the media bin and glove box cutouts for the LED lenses, it appears some 2023s do not. Feel for a black blanking plug in the media’s bin, and you’re good. Cutout in glove box opening does not have a plug so should be readily evident.

First real warm day here in R.I. Got the harness from John, hopefully I can get her done today! Quick question, do the cup, media lights dim with the ambient lighting as well? Here goes nothing, hopefully I wont need to call you guys......

Okay after taking my time I have everything apart. Unfortunately have to cut out media bin hole for light. working on that now. Just need a quick question answered #8 find the connection for the CONSOLE LIGHT (large arm rest) ??? Where is this? TY

This may be of some help if you don't have this already

TY, Figured it out. All installed, all lights working now just putting it back together! Off course FORD short changed everybody on these NICE to have luxury items and they couldnt even cut a hole for the media bin light, so got the dremel out for that. Great Truck but come on FORD! Will post pics later. TY to everyone who contributed to this thread!

I may never forgive Ford for making me feel so bitter about a truck I actually really love haha.

 

[KewTremor33]

F#$kers...... I know ~ stop skimping on the little things FORD!

 

[rkrichter]

It's one thing if there is a chip shortage and all that. Okay. We understand what's going on in the world these past few years. But at least set it up so you can offer retrofits at no cost. I'm not sure if that's the case with these lights or if they have chosen to just completely go away with them for whatever reason, but obviously the HSW and safety features and other such things, these trucks are way too expensive to be skimping out on some of the finer details. You want make a trip to Pittsburgh and install a HSW and these lights for me? Hahaha.

The worst part is the cost for retrofit. The door lighting was over $300 alone. Ford could have included them for a few $$.

TY to all who contributed to this. John thanks for the harness! I spent the afternoon and added the lighted cup holder, Media Bin Light and the glove box light. I also added the new HVAC Control Module with the digital temp displays. Still pissed at FORD for leaving these out! But I love the Tremor! All came out great and def worth the time. Only suggestion, take your time taking everything apart.
