Is it JUST the FRM?

Checked those 4 fuses, all good.
Pulled the FRM again & gave it another clean/scrub. Still no change.
Guess I'll need to order a new one And hope there's no upstream issues as well

An unforeseen impact of the FRM failure.
I pulled & shipped my FRM to ECU Pro yesterday.
Drove home & back to work this morning, and realized when I got to work, that I have no lights, at all. With the failed FRM installed, the headlights & taillights default to on.
With the FRM pulled, no head/tail lights, and worse, no brake lights . So, I made the 20 mile drive home & back to work today, not realizing that I was lucky to not get rear ended.

Fortunately, we have a few company cars at the office, so the R57 is parked in the warehouse & I have a nice F150 to drive while I wait on the new FRM to get back to me.
Fingers crossed, their plug-and-play statement holds true & I'm back in a functional [minus the stereo] car again.

I don't guess I remembered to update this.
ECUPro shipped a new FRM to me [and my old one back as well].
Plugged it in & all is working [bonus, I got the dome light & puddle lights active, they've never worked since I've had the car].

Only thing that isn't working is auto lock & 3 blink lane change indicator. Auto lock works with 1 key but not the other. Need to dig out the manual & see if its a user programmed setting.

Well, my settings doesn't have the menu for the lane change adjustment, just things like MPG, DTE, F/C temp, but nothing for blinker.

I'm pretty sure the owner's manual describes how to edit the coding functions stored in each key. My Launch scan tool also allows me to edit the key coding functions.

I was looking in the wrong 'key' menu.
Found the settings earlier today & changed them. Auto lock & triple blink working again.
