  1. Help needed, please. Charging issues.

    Hold it, was not the guy in Germany @Bernd able to take apart a module and re-balance one of the cells inside and put it back together and it is working fine? https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/cell-undervoltage-of-one-cell-charging-no-longer-possible.33496/
  2. Is there a meter or method to determine the 12volt battery state of charge (SOC)?

    Please search the forum for 12V or LVB state of charge (SOC) and you will find many using a OBD bluetooth device to plug into that port and then the CarScanner app on the smartphone can be used to find that parameter and more. Avoid the dealer! If you have been using the original 12V battery...
  3. [Feature Rollout] Pro Power Onboard with Vehicle Off

    Still wonder if small <2Amp battery tender in frunk would be ok, no leads going out the side of the truck! Plus the timer/heater setup to activater ~5 seconds every ~5 minutes. Hopefully there is a small heater <100Watts that would allow that to be in the frunk as well.
  4. [Feature Rollout] Pro Power Onboard with Vehicle Off

    If using the PPOB while the truck is off, and the 12V battery drops, it would seem necessary to keep a maintainer on the 12V battery. Perhaps the 12V charger could be kept in the frunk, plugged in with the frunk closed, if its draw was less than the 150Watt limit when the frunk is closed. A...
  5. Need advice! Should I buy Ford extended "Premium" warranty or not ?

    Wish the rental car coverage was better than $60/day...that just covers the equivalent of an electric bike nowadays.
  6. Ford can't fix my truck...What should I do???

    Watch the [stupid analog] battery temperature gauge for not receiving adequate cooling...this is extra wear/tear on the battery if not cooling properly, I think. Maybe get the OBD bluetooth adapter and use CarScanner to monitor? Maybe get dealer to provide a loaner to avoid battery damage since...
  7. A/C coolant leak. Parts on backorder

    What is the yr, model, build date of your Lightning (driver's door sticker top)? (add to your signature) Miles?
  8. Emporia monitor shows dip in power every 2 hours, on the hour!

    Any idea why the Emporia system would show a dip in power usage periodically? I do not remember seeing this before. Hmm, I see the dips happening at minimum power usage as well so it may be just something with the monitor. Or communications. Weird, it is happening every 2 hours showing a dip...
  9. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power - NL3Z8C509A - Engine Coolant Control Valve - Diverter Valve - Warranty Coverage

    It is a powertrain malfunction. It must be covered under 8 year, 100k mile warranty, and that is why you are losing full power to prevent a battery failure .
  10. $20 EVgo Promo Charging Credits [YMMV]

    Just saw this in the app, Not sure when this LCR10 credit will expire
  11. Tesla Supercharger PSA

    What is the best place for connecting for a vehicle pulling a trailer? One should not have to walk over cables or otherwise be restrained by the cable. Maybe overhead drop downs? Should charging stations be more designed like gas stations?
  12. My turn - won’t charge past 83%: Fixed #33

    If you do rent a vehicle, make sure it is a Ford, so "Customer Service" might cover the rental (maybe up to $60/day?), as they have suggested to me in the past, when I got a Kia, as Enterprise, per dealer connection, did not carry Fords. Maybe Hertz has Ford? Maybe Turo would have a Lightning...
  13. Feasibility of installing work surface? (2025 Flash)

    I wonder about going for the center seat like I saw on my friends 2026 F-250 XLT (7.3L!). "XLT comes standard with a cloth 40/20/40 split bench seat, which allows you to use the center section as a foldable armrest or seat a third passenger. The truck features a column shifter mounted on the...
  14. Q1 2026 Forum Survey Results (And what we're doing next)

    wishlist add: OBD screen as standard, with nice layout of parameters
  15. Q1 2026 Forum Survey Results (And what we're doing next)

    @Ford Motor Company Camp mode should mean all exterior white lights should be able to be turned off while pro power and climate still work. Hard to see the stars when the exterior lights come on when opening a door. All cameras should be recording to SSD.
