Could you post a screen capture of the APIM firmware screen in FORScan showing the part numbers and firmware versions?
You can follow this and try to get the unit back…
DISCLAIMER, this is dangerous for those that have an already working APIM.
Program the vehicle with the following:
SBL: GB5T-14G376-AA.VBF
Strat: GB5T-14G374-AF.VBF
Cal: GB5T-14G375-CA.VBFMake sure that nothing says ignored, you should click the button at the bottom that says Force Program and Silence busses, also check “Recovery”.
Note: If you do not have a ‘recovery’ option, you need to update FORScan to the newest 2.4.3 version.
When it completes, if you are at the same point you were before with a blank screen, do the following.Shut the vehicle off.
With the vehicle off, only flash the following:
SBL: GB5T-14G376-AA.VBF
ECU Config/Sound Profile (CAN): GB5T-14G379-AA
ECU Config/Illumination Strat (CAN): GB5T-14G379-BA
Follow the prompts in FORScan, it should come back to the ford logo when it’s complete. Turn vehicle on and it should fully power up.
