I decided to hook up the OBDLink EX to the 2016 Expedition tonight. Increasing the number of blinks for the turn signal worked well so I went to the module where the PDF with notes by Lokiwolf, MCostin and ExpeditionAndy said hyperflash would be disabled.
BdyCM 726-13-01 & 726-14-01. Entering 0000 and write seems to have messed up my headlights. Even with the ignition key out and car locked the headlights won't turn off. I had to rotate the dial to turn them off.
Any ideas what went wrong? I'm going to go see what restore does. Hopefully it lets the headlights stay off.
*I did save all before I started tinkering.

*12 minutes later update on me being dumb and dumber
1. I was distracted getting out of the Expy and left the keys in the ignition turned to the on position. Perhaps the headlights being on was a message that I didn't understand
2. This past Sunday when the wife's replacement Expy key was being made at Batteries Plus - he said the Expy's battery was down to 330 CCA. Well, tinkering with it via Forscan and the headlights staying on seems to have fully killed the battery. It read 9.9 volts.
So when the battery is charged up a bit and my keys aren't sitting in the ignition...we'll see what happens.
Car started no problem. I decided to experiment and leave the charger connected while the engine was running. Did that for about 40 minutes and boy the battery sure charges quick with the alternator and charger going at the same time.
Moral of the story appears to be - hook up the charger before messing with Forscan or replace the battery.
