I think the following language in the above referenced data may help arguments, altho the connection to the High Voltage side seems open to questions ... "The electronic cabin coolant heater modules were produced on a secondary, low volume production line at the supplier that did not have...

Ditching the Lightning was a Bad thing, not for shareholders or for corporate Ford, but for the public and future. That article over looks what are the driving forces elsewhere in the world towards ditching combustion vehicles. Just a week or so ago there was an emergency briefing in the UK...

Looks bad for a failed battery module with the charge level stopping at 57% and not going higher. If the dealer determines it is a battery module other folks have been able to drive while waiting for parts to arrive. Sorry, perhaps someone else has better idea???

What year is your truck? Still charging OK? More details if you expect much help here, Could be other issues .... Vehicles 2021 Powerboost, 2022 Mach-e

In the short term, it may be a good idea to investigate replacement insurance in case of an accident

The PTC heater unit may have failed, and damaged the high voltage connectors. It would be good to see the damaged parts, especially if you have to pay for them.

YES, when selected.

It is interesting that there is a description of mechanical issues and friction as the source of the problem, however, it can be corrected with a OTA update?

In addition to all of above, I would recommend you try to start a PM conversation with this poster. He has first hand knowledge of successfully removing and replacing the battery on his own. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/sr-to-er-battery-swap-diy-project.31656/

Why do folks think GM or RAM will continue to push forward with a pickup truck? We may be looking at a "pause" in the manufacture of battery powered full size trucks. The conditions in the USA just are not compatible. We are a oil based society. When the true price of gasoline and diesel...

Thanks for the speedy update. I now know I have a very desirable limited edition all electric F150 without all the headaches of a EREV!! For my use a fully electric full size F150 is perfect, as it will always be to the local service industry folks. Changing battery technology is coming...

Sorry can't help regarding a 2025, but with our 2023 that could be caused by having the "driver focused" option on.

I find it amazing that three transistors working under full wattage changes DC to AC and will last 100k miles. Your concerned about other transistors, but you might not have a worry about them.

I agree, also remember temperature becomes important to this discussion if the battery becomes really hot. I wonder what he thinks of that EV9 ....

Glad you joined, lots of good reading here. Ford went with permanent magnet motors front & rear which makes it more difficult to switch from 4 wheel to 2 wheel drive.
