Just make sure your coolant levels are OK.

My 12 V battery failed after 1.5 years. Replaced at the dealership under warranty, battery didn't last two weeks before bulging and putting the truck into battery saver mode. I just replaced the replacement battery with an AMG H4.

My 12 Volt battery went bad, bulging sides, Only 2 years old. Replaced with a new Motorcraft AGM H3 under warranty. This battery went bad after two weeks with bulging sides. Battery saver notices showing up on Ford Pass. I replaced it myself with a H4 AMG battery that says it's electric &...

My plans have not changed. I plan to drive my Lightning for at least 10 years. In 2005 I purchased the 50th anniversary addition of the Ford T-Bird convertible for $30,000. I sold it in 2024 for $10,000. I needed the garage space for my Lightning. Plus the wife said that I needed to sell it...

I would make sure other options are available. We drove from Skagway, AK to Whitehorse Yukon, Ca last may. We spent a week there. When we arrived on Monday, we noticed there was a fast charge station at the Ford Dealership there. We charged up and were not concerned about driving around the...

Doug the Pug loves the Lightning Flash.

Thanks for this informative reply. When this happened, the 12 Volt red battery icon was also lit, so, I think this may have been the issue. I have driven the truck numerous times every day since last Thursday when this happened without any problems.

Yes, I've searched the forum. The problem is, there is not a Ford dealership here in Juneau, The closest one is in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. That is a 8 hour ferry ride then a 90 mile drive. Not the easiest thing to accomplish. I was hoping someone else experienced the same issue. The...

Hi Folks: 1 have a Lightning Flash with walk away lock. This happened yesterday. It was abnormally hot in Juneau, with temperatures at mid to upper 70's. The Lightning was parked in the driveway and we were working on the front decks, getting ready to stain them. I had the windows rolled...

One thing I had to do to make sure my 2024 Flash charged when I wanted it to is set a departure time.

I got the recall last fall. There is not a dealership in Juneau, AK, nearest dealership is in Whitehorse, Yukon, CA. I didn't want to drive it up to Whitehorse thru the pass in the winter, I waited until May. The nuts were tight, but not up to the proper torque, 25.8 FTLBS. They replaced...

"Currently out of stock...not sure when or if will be available". BTW, I ordered these using my Ford Reward points. The Ford website said that this was the exact fit for my Lightning... Yea, right...

Hi Folks: I ordered and just installed rear splash guards on my Lighting Flash. There were a number of problems with design, hole alignment, etc. Do not follow the instructions, only remove the plugs where the screws go in, not the ones where a new plug is supposed to go in. I finally got them...

The Lightning was my first truck. If you are comfortable driving a large truck, then the lower trims are something to look at. I went for the flash trim because I need the 360 camera view to know exactly where my truck is when parking my truck in parking lots, my garage, ect.

Well, That is what I was asking, because it's not always there. Does it show up. when the SOC gets below a certain percentage? Also, occasionally blue marks will extend to the left of the SOC gauge. I know it's not really important, but inquiring minds want to know. :)
