Video: Window-Down Feature on MY22 Warthog (Installed by Ford Store)

[Cactus Jack]

The window down feature has been successfully added to a MY22 Warthog. Just picked it up from the dealer today.

Press unlock on RKA, windows go down approximately 1/2”.

Press lock on RKA, doors lock and then windows go back up.

is this to prevent excessive wear on the window seals when opening and closing the doors?

It’s so the door opens more easily. The window doesn’t go down quick enough and gets caught on the seal when opening.

I assuming this was a software update?

This looks like something my '23 WT does from the factory. Is it something they added just for '23? If sitting in the cabin and I unlock the doors it also rolls down slightly.

Software had to be updated manually by the Ford Store to add the feature. If your Bronco was built on or after July 12, 2023, you already have the roll-down feature.

Thanks. My Bronco is a 2022.

To schedule this, is there a specific TSB or Customer Satisfaction Program that you told thee dealer about to get it fixed?

I'm interested as well. Would love to have this and the wiper motor flash done at the same time!

There is no information about this feature other than the older SSM that @Cactus Jack posted, so most dealerships won't even know that the programming is available.
You can ask them to check for a DDM and PDM update and some dealers will help out and reprogram it for you. But technically isn't a warrantable concern, so don't be surprised if they say there will be a charge.

Ok, sounds good. So, I should just ask them to check for DDM and PDM updates for the door/window mechanism? Or, is there a specific name for the window up-down thing

Sorry, I'm not entirely smart when it comes to this stuff so I don't know what to actually call it. Thank you for the help!

I would just ask them to check for a potential DDM and PDM module update.
You can reference SSM 51895 also if you want and tell them you heard that the programming may be available for previous model year vehicles already.
I don't believe the programming is available for all model/packages yet though, as my 2022 2 door does not have this feature and also does not have any updates currently (which is probably why Ford hasn't updated the old SSM or released anything new yet)

Ok, that makes sense. I'm assuming my 2 door BD also doesn't have anything yet but I'll ask when I take it for the wiper CSP. Thank you!

There is currently no TSB that I am aware of. I do know the Ford store spent a considerable amount of time to figure out how to add The feature. I believe they use Ford’s OASIS database. They also replaced the wiper components per Ford’s recall.

Just had this update and the wiper motor done at the same time.
The window drop feature on unlock is an improvement, but I’ve noticed it only triggers when you unlock the vehicle via fob. If I unlock by putting my hand on the door handle with fob in pocket, the windows don’t drop… pretty surprised by that oversight. Does everyone else’s behave this way?
