Not entirely sure it'll work the same with Faendal as the game makes you pick between the two followers but open the console click him and try the commands -

addfac 5C84D 1

Setrelationshiprank 0001348C 4

Player.setrelationshiprank 0001348C 4

You might have to enable and disable him for the dialog to appear too.
