The Dreaded Drivers Door Module Part Numbers

I am 99% sure that is accurate.
OK, Got the as-built file downloaded and the ELM adapter is ordered. I'll download and install Forscan when I get the adapter on Thursday.

Below is the screen from the as-built download on the Motorcraftservice.com website. My concern is that they do not list the DDM in the BCE modules. I'm worried that indicates that the '03-'05 DDM can't be programmed. If that's the case, maybe Forscan can at least help me do diagnostics on the system to confirm its the DDM.

I have an 05'. I'll connect my laptop to my car in a bit and see if the modules are present.
 
The screenshot is from my 03 Cartier, so for my 03 its listed.
If you need my hex values I can post them for the ddm.
I don't know if I need them or not, but more data always finds a use for someone! So post away!

Once I have my Forscan set up I'll post what I can find as well, probably by Friday night.
 
Here is my ddm, from my 03 Cartier.

As relatively few options/combos as these cars have it seems like we ought to be able to put together a collection of DDM software settings.

Hey I like where your head is at. To do this, we would need "as built" data for every possible combination of DDM features (shouldn't be that many) and compatible years. Someone would then need to create a spreadsheet of all the hex values for each feature set. It could be done but would take a bit of time to compile. If I get bored one day maybe I'll start 😁

Or we could create a Google Doc and let people fill it in, like other boards have done for their cars.....but yeah, I hear you on getting motivated to start raider!

Fantastic idea, would make a great sticky !
 
Update: I was off on a tangent for a bit, now getting back to this.

I hooked up Forscan and connected to the car after a few Forscan setup hiccups. At this point, Forscan can't even see my DDM at all. I tried all three modules that I had handy with no luck, though I was pretty sure that at least one of the two spares was dead too. At this point, the plan is to order a "rebuilt" one from AutoECMstore.com, whose rep is a bit spotty, but they appear to be my only option.

One thing I can't figure out yet in Forscan is how to load the "As built" file from Ford's website to see what it should look like. Any helpful hints some of you may know would be appreciated there!

Oh, and I also have EATC code B2267, Right side blend door circuit failure :(, so there's that to tear into as well......I felt like the car wasn't moving as much air as it should, now I know why. Seems odd though that the EATC self test didn't indicate this.

Well, thanks to some guy going by "raiderfan" (hmmmmm, wonder who that could be....) on the FORscan forums, I found the spreadsheet for Panther configurations at this link. That should take care of our need for a Google Doc.

I'm still trying to figure out how to load the "as built" file. I'm starting to wonder now if some hack mechanic just edited out my DDM completely as it was failing to eliminate false alarms, etc for the previous owner. (PO passed away, so I have no one to ask.)

The file link you posted is a nice but it is missing some details to be really useful in understanding the different settings for DDMs. For instance, VIN supplied don't list what DDM features the car has, it just lists the values, we would need to know which features are connected with each vin, then we are cooking with gas.

To your issue of loading as built data, watch this video but instead of choosing PDM (as built) choose DDM (as built), from there you can load your AB (as built file) and overwrite the old settings.

When you connect to Forscan you should see your DDM in the list of modules (ignore all my DTCs lol, I am working through them)

Thanks raider fan, that video solved one problem - I have no internet connection in my shop, so some of those buttons are simply not there on FORscan. I'm going to put the car back together enough that I can move it this weekend and I will try reloading the As Built file.

The bigger problem by far is that FORscan can't even see any of the four DDMs (just got another off eBay) that I have. Either all four are bad or something else is going on. When I say it can't see them, I mean they are literally not even in the log. No hint of a DDM. At this point, I'm open to ideas......
 
Are you using a good usb obd2 adaptor? There's usually a couple on amazon that people have recommended for forscan.


Also, what options does your car have? I assume this is the 04 Ultimate in your signature. I have the same model, heated memory seats, sunroof, HID lights, power trunk, auto dimming mirrors, pretty much everything but fog lights as far as I know.

I'm using an OBDLink EX USB cable with the latest paid version of FORScan. It is the Ultimate, with heated memory seats, power trunk, everything but the sunroof.
 
OK, here are the screen shots, as you'll note the PC is presently disconnected from the car. The car was not running when these were taken.
Log is the first image, Modules is the second. Third image is my EATC codes, and I am wondering if the "Battery Voltage Out of Range" code is one of my issues? I have had the battery on a trickle charger while the car has been parked these last few weeks. Battery is 1 year old, voltage when I check at the terminals is >13 initially, but does fall off rapidly once I connect it. Really appreciate everyone's help on this!
