Hazard Flasher Switch - Bad Location

[generaltso]

It does list quite a few but the only ones I am ever interested in is the BCM and APIM which it does list. I can take a snapshot of the ones it does read later today and post it.

Yeah, most modules show up, but some (like the IPC) don’t. I’m guessing the issue is on FORScan’s side since the Mongoose can obviously read all modules with FDRS.

Maybe they updated FORScan to read more modules now?

Maybe. The IPC definitely wasn’t in the list before.

I do not own pets (which is probably a good thing), but wouldn’t it be safer for the pet to be in a pet harness or crate in the rear seat or the trunk? I don’t want to be morbid, but whenever I see an unrestrained pet, all I think of is “meat missile bouncing around the cabin during an accident.” Again, apologies to pet owners if this is a sensitive or unpleasant topic.

Yes, much better in the harness. But if I have run into Chipotle to pick up lunch, I'll leave the car on (with climate controls on) but my dog won't be in the harness so she has free rein in the car. She'll want to stick her head out window. And step on all the buttons on the console, at least once.

Why? I don't remember what you are using for FDRS but I use the same for both. Mongoose Plus-Ford 2

Huh, I read that the Mongoose Plus doesn’t work for some functions. I guess those functions aren’t used much? ?‍?

I don't know what functions is doesn't work with but so far, I've haven't run into any issues with the ones I've done and tinkered with.

Guess I am not buying another OBD-2 cable unless I run into a mod I want to do but can’t. ??

It could even cover the parking brake as I never use it.

Me thinking, "Florida?", checks Location. "Yup, Florida" ? Meanwhile in San Francisco.....

Maybe a raised plate with a ticket slot or two running fore to aft. Here is the slot in the Maverick.

I do like this idea. I once put a paid-for garage parking stub on a little section of my Volvo center console, only to discover that by the time I got to the garage exit and reached for the stub, it had slipped forward into the console, never to be seen again. Luckily my wife had gotten a receipt when we paid for parking!

I had a thought to mock one up using card stock and then figuring out how to get it in a file to 3D print it, but then it hit me it was a lot of work so there it stays, just a thought..........

I’m curious if anyone else thinks the hazard flasher switch is in a bad location on the center console. When I leave my Westie in the car sometimes I come back to find he has activated the flashers by stepping on the switch. I need to come up with a fix for this. ?

Sometimes the issue is looking you right in the face! Haha

No dog, no problem, actually i didnt even know where it was till a few months ago and was like hmmm where is it…

 

[Jimrpa]

Maybe a control lockout?
