Message: [QUOTE="Powerstroke Man 6.4, post: 1262822, member: 4573"] So I found this on a ford fleet PDF for 08's "LED Lighting with Smart Junction Box Models Affected: 2008 Model Year Incomplete or Modified F250/350/450/550 completed by a Final Stage Manufacturer and to be equipped to tow a trailer Background For 2008 model year the function of the turn signal flasher was incorporated into the software of the Smart Power Distribution Junction Box (SPDJB or SJB). The SJB is configured to provide lamp-outage indication on all F250/350/450/550. For proper function of LED lighting installed by Final Stage Manufacturers of incomplete or modified vehicles, the SJB must be reconfigured to turn off the lamp-out indication. Reconfiguration of the SJB Beginning the week of May 7, 2007, Ford dealers have a Special Service Message (SSM) providing instructions for reconfiguration of the SJB to turn off the lamp-out indication. Additionally, Final Stage Manufacturers can reconfigure the SJB to turn off the lamp-out indication with a laptop computer by obtaining their own IDS Kit (Integrated Diagnostic Software) sold by Ford. Below are two areas of the Motorcraft® Technical Resource Access website for the description and ordering of tools and kits. Diagnostic Tool Support (product detail in left hand navigation menu): [url]http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdirs/retail/default.asp?pageid=wds_retail&gutsid=wds&menuIndex1=8[/url] Tools & Equipment (how to order): [url]http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdirs/retail/default.asp?pageid=pubs_rotunda&gutsid=pubs_rotunda[/url] Up-fitters will be asked to call 1-800-ROTUNDA Option #1 to order the kits. Another option is through the Ford Fleet website, [url]www.fleet.ford.com[/url], if they have a FIN Code. Once the service laptop has been obtained, and IDS installed, the following are the basic steps to turn off the lampout configuration: 1. Ensure that the IDS is updated to B48.11 Database 4. Select "Stop and tail lamp outage configuration" 2. Select "Programmable Parameters" in the IDS Toolbox 5. Select "Lamp outage turned off" 3. Select "Exterior Lighting" Notes: 1. Reconfiguration of the SJB to accommodate LED lighting is not covered by Ford warranty. 2. FMVSS 108 / CMVSS 108 compliance (with specific regard to the turn signal bulb outage requirement per this bulletin) is the responsibility of the Final Stage Manufacturer. For any questions contact the Ford Truck Body Builders Advisory Service by the methods shown above. Q-158" [/QUOTE]
