In today’s episode I enable Bambi Mode for my 2012 Ford F150 FX4.
Bambi mode is allowing your truck to run with fog lights and high beams at the same time.
To do this I used FORScan(forscan.org/) and purchased an OBDII (2) reader from Amazon (amzn.to/32XNLKm).
There is a lot of information about your vehicle in the forums on FORScan and this will be my first video.
Here is an example document with codes that work for most Ford vehicles: docs.google.co...
I also want to change the number of times my signal light blinks when I bump it.
I want to enable Remote Start and the Remote Trailer controller.
Please watch along as I show you all the steps I took to enable Bambi Mode for my truck.
This video is for entertainment purposes only so please use this at your own discretion.
Thanks for watching!
Until the next one, keep Living the Northern Life!

What else can I do on my 2012 platinum with forscan
I changed the amount of times the signal light flashes from 3 to 5 when I bump the signal light for a merge lane or passing someone. There is a lot of things that you can do but these are the only things I have done.
You can disable the TPMS, enable towing after you install the brake switch, enable remote start but you need an antenna and a key with remote start to name a few.
Do you have a spreadsheet?
I just did this on a 2013 F-150 STX. This mod does *not* engage both high and low beams together from the headlights, it simply allows the fog lights to be on with parking lights, low beams, and high beams. Running low and high beams together is only possible with LED lighting, halogens may draw too much current. Even LEDs may overheat that way.
Also, only a couple of adapters work with ForScan PC. Get one and get a wireless one as well to use with ForScan Lite on an Android. They are well worth it!
My wired adapter is an OBDLink EX and the wireless one that stays in the OBDII socket is a BAFX OBDII.
Apologies if i miss spoke but it’s definitely high beams with fog lights.
Sorry about that.
Andrew
Thanks man. Followed your steps and it worked perfect for my 2012 f-150.
Thank you! I have also change my signal lights to blink 5 times before cancelling instead of the regular 3 when you just tap the turn signal. I haven't recorded it but I can create a post if you're interested?
Living the Northern Life I would be interested in seeing the turn signal mod, just got forscan yesterday and used it to get my left brake light/turn signal working again after a led resistor burnt a wire and activated the solid state protection in the bcm. Do you have a list of mods for the 2012’s? I see a lot of stuff for the 15 and up trucks but not for our 12 models.
@@brandonj3556 This is the document that I used from Google Docs: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/15MQ8CEh7eSXUJYjPg-J8uUqpLwP_xyqbfQHB0rAnXNs/htmlview#gid=1639495357
So far it has had all the codes I wanted. Thanks for watching!
do you know if you can add temperature values to the guages tab in the led screen between the guuages?? only trans temp is avalable... can we add cooland and oil temp??
good question but I don't know the answer to it. If it's not in the Google Doc I'm not sure where you might be able to find that out.
We got you back new friend🤠🤙Thanks for the support! Much love- TTO
Thank you!
Such a great community of people here on TH-cam!
Worked!!! Do you know how can I enable the auto lamp ON. Installed the switch and sensor but they don't come on in auto. THX
Thanks Ruben!
I only have the settings in the Google Doc that's in the description of the vide.
I only wanted to set Bambi Mode as well as the number of blinks when I bump the signal light.
Hi,
Thank you for the video.
Do you have any idea of how to activate Bambi mode in 2012 EXPEDITION
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Unfortunately I don't have that information.
If you look on the FORScan website they will have a Google Doc that will have the right codes for your vehicle.
Make sure you back everything up before making any changes as you can fry your vehicle.
Thanks
Andrew
How did you figure out how to do this?
Weston Verhulst hey Weston.
From watching a couple other videos and the google doc here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/15MQ8CEh7eSXUJYjPg-J8uUqpLwP_xyqbfQHB0rAnXNs/htmlview#gid=1639495357
This for entertainment purposes and if you try it, you try it at your own risk.
@@LivingtheNorthernLife Thanks so much for that google doc!! That's exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated.
@@westonverhulst Make sure that it has the year of vehicle that you are trying to change... there are a few of those Google Doc's out there.
@@LivingtheNorthernLife Thanks, I'll make sure to double check.
You better not let your father see all that dirt on your truck! And watch out for Bambi
It's too cold to run a hose outside and all the car wash businesses are currently closed :')
I been trying but your instructions suck , because your camera phone move like crazy.
Thanks Juan!
