How to disable hands free foot activated tailgate sensor

@5280tunage oh boy, how do I use that?!

Lots and lots of posts on here, but essentially you need to get a forscan compatible ODB adapter (has to have the HSCAN/MSCAN switch like this one I bought and have great luck with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S7W14X9), download and install forscan (https://forscan.org/download.html) essentially use the guided setup to find the right setting and change/apply it. But make sure you backup your as-built configs first. There's great documentation on the forscan site as well as lots of youtube videos out there.

Word of caution, depending on your relationship with your dealer, you may have to set some of these settings back to factory prior to getting service. Mine has had zero issues with some of my settings like steering wheel temps, hands free liftgate, etc.

Or forscan... I don't like having open wires.

Interesting, I can't find anything in our forums for the handsfree liftgate in forscan and don't remember seeing it there. Any chance you can share where that setting is? I'd rather do it that way too.

Hands free lift gate closing by itself

Very helpful thread, have had mine for less than a month now and was trying to get the hands free option to work open but after about 10 minutes of kicking the rear bumper in my driveway the neighbors began standing outside pointing & videoing me on their phones, (some were placing bets I swear)...

www.expeditionforum.com

just an example, but if you search this forum for liftgate and my username, you'll find over half a dozen instances where I've talked about disabling it via forscan.

There's a TSB for this for MY 18-19: https://www.tsbsearch.com/Ford/19-2162
