ECU Hacks

[NoVaGT]

Well, I hate to tell you this but the info is incorrect. My wife's 19 fusion came with both the auto down and up. The modules for auto up is not in the mustang. So if it was for safety reasons. Why would they allow it on a family sedan?

Because sometimes it takes awhile for a lawyer to notice something, and tell the manufacturer to ditch it.

Plus, different engineers working on the two different cars. Some think it's just fine, other's think it's a big no-no.

It's not like auto manufacturers don't make mistakes here and there. Or aren't inconsistent here and there.

As someone who has experience writing code, I can almost guarantee that it can be changed to go back up. Idk how much of a pain in the ass it would be, but it is possible. I've even seen the open door chime changed to difference songs like "Jingle Bells" or the national anthem. Chimes can also be removed, and pretty much anything electronic you can think of. It's its own language and it can be told what to do.

Can't be a safety issue. I've had several cars with the auto/remote close of all windows and sunroof. Some with key, some with the keyfob.

My 2010 Acura TL had auto down from the remote and auto up with sunroof closing with the key in the door turned to lock position, I think my 2005 did it also.

My 2016 GT PP convertible has autodown from the FOB and according to the manual from Ford, only the Coupe supports AutoUp from the window button. Although when Ford replaced my drivers side motor, it was enabled. According to what I found the 15/16 rag tops did not have a sensor at the top of the window guide in the door frame like the coupe does. Therefore The window is using a different trigger to stop going up. Not sure what it is, but it could be why I have gone through five or six motors on the drivers side in the last 18 months. The window stays in the 1/4 drop position from when you open the door and never goes above that. Annoying for highway driving and heavy rain.
