Ambient light unavailable after upgrade to Sync3

Hello Ricardo,

Is this the 2013 Fusion that you swapped the instrument panel and APIM from a 2018 Fusion?

Ambient Lighting settings are here:
7D0-06-01 *xxx
Internal Gyro (IG), Gyro On Bus (GoB), Ambient Lighting Type (ALT), Reverse Gear (RG)
0=IG Not Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG Legacy
1=IG Not Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG New
2=IG Not Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG Legacy
3=IG Not Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG New
4=IG Not Present, GoB Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG Legacy
5=IG Not Present, GoB Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG New
6=IG Not Present, GoB Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG Legacy
7=IG Not Present, GoB Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG New
8=IG Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG Legacy
9=IG Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG New
A=IG Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG Legacy
B=IG Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG New
C=IG Present, GoB Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG Legacy
D=IG Present, GoB Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG New
E=IG Present, GoB Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG Legacy
F=IG Present, GoB Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG New

Read the options below. You have a 2013 Focus ST. But you added Sync 3, and other 2018 (?) hardware? If the vehicle had Sync 2 before it was updated to Sync 3, I would try ‘8’. I’m assuming you have NAV…

2018 and earlier vehicle without ambient lighting:
6=IG Not Present, GoB Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG Legacy (Non NAV APIM)
A=IG Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG Legacy (NAV APIM)
2018 and earlier vehicle with ambient lighting:
4=IG Not Present, GoB Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG Legacy (Non NAV APIM)
8=IG Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG Legacy (NAV APIM)
2019+ vehicle without ambient lighting:
7=IG Not Present, GoB Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG New (Non NAV APIM)
B=IG Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Single Color Scheme, RG New (NAV APIM)
2019+ vehicle with ambient lighting:
5=IG Not Present, GoB Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG New (Non NAV APIM)
9=IG Present, GoB Not Present, ALT Pantone Color Scheme, RG New (NAV APIM)

I have noticed that sometimes when you do a master reset or write changes to the as built that the ambient lighting adjustment goes to dim. If you re-adjust it it is fine.

So the above mentioned ‘ambient lighting’ settings are only to enable/disable the ambient lighting control screen in Sync shown here: https://owner.ford.com/support/how-tos/sync/sync-3/settings/how-to-choose-ambient-light-color-with-sync-3.html

So if this isn’t the one causing issues. It could be the ‘illumination strategy’, (probably 8,9,A, or B):
7D0-01-01: #X##-####-####

Illumination strategy 2 (probably 0):
7D0-02-02: ####-####-X###

illumination gateway strategy (for your vehicle this should be set to 0):
7D0-06-01: #X##-##

Illumination power transitions (for your vehicle this should be set to 0):
7D0-08-02: ####-#X##-####
