  1. CSP-25B09 Replace Floor Console GSM

    The GSM replacement part is finally here and I got mine installed at the dealership today. It's definitely feels like a better made part. My original part used to shift roughly at every "tooth", but now it shifts smoothly. I know this is ultimately an electronic shifter, but the mechanical part...
  2. 🚗 TripleAliners F-150 Lightning Giveaway: Bed Mat & Hood Protector! 🚗

    Dream vacation would be a cross country road trip hitting as many national parks as possible, from Yosemite to Acadia and everything in between.
  3. Lightning powering house -

    Has anyone installed the Generac 6853/6854 in an outdoor setting? I am thinking of installing the manual transfer switch outdoors, next to my outdoor main panel. Is there an outdoor enclosure for the 6853/6854 sold separately? Or a different model number that is an outdoor equivalent version of...
  4. Recommendation for Los Angeles area electrician who installed an inlet for you?

    Thanks for the info. Though I understand the theory, I am going to look for an electrician to do the install. Btw, how do you compare between installing an interlock versus a transfer switch like the 6853? My understanding is that the interlock still disconnects the "generator inlet" from the...
  5. Recommendation for Los Angeles area electrician who installed an inlet for you?

    Hi all, I am looking to install an inlet (L14-30) next to my main panel to power my house from the 240V outlet in my Lightning truck bed for emergencies. From the research that I have done, I know that I will need a 3-pole/neutral transfer switch so that the neutral (also grounded via truck...
  6. CSP-25B09 Replace Floor Console GSM

    My dealership said my GSM replacement part is still on back order as well. The 2-month Mark on when the part was ordered is coming up. There is no ETA given. @halfbakedenchilada, which region are you in? I wonder if parts availability is also based on location.
  7. Repair Nightmare - Ford engineers taking incorrect SW approach

    I traded in the Mach-E, but no problems with it previously. From the diagnostics/logs, the Ford servers cannot connect to the Lightning. So the problem is limited to the Lightning. Also, the "Connectivity" toggle switch in the Lightning center screen menu is stuck on enable. It cannot reset...
  8. Repair Nightmare - Ford engineers taking incorrect SW approach

    That puzzle me too. I've suggested to the dealership to replace the Gateway module as a guru here have pointed out. The dealership actually have been great to work with (no complains here), but their hands are tied. They have to get approval from Ford to be able to order a new module under...
  9. Repair Nightmare - Ford engineers taking incorrect SW approach

    That's great news. I am glad that worked for you. :) I wish I can say the same for my vehicle, but my problem seems to be more complicated. I've tried full vehicle reset, pulled fuse, disconnect 12V battery, full app delete from phone, and nothing helped. So far, not even the dealership tech nor...
  10. Repair Nightmare - Ford engineers taking incorrect SW approach

    I've been driving EVs for a while. Love my Mach-E and now my new Lightning, but support from Ford is lacking to put it lightly. The community that we have here is even more helpful than the support that I am getting from the mothership. Ford engineers wants to fix a hardware issue with software...
  11. CSP-25B09 Replace Floor Console GSM

    My service advisor at the dealership told me that the replacement part for 25B09 is on "national back order" and there is no ETA on when the part will be available. Is everyone else hearing the same thing?
  12. Problem with Connectivity/connecting to FordPass. Tried fuse and 12V reset. Ideas?

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I am afraid this may be a possibility with my truck too since all the resets so far haven't helped. When I do end up with the time to drop off my Lightning at the dealership, I will mention this module to them and let the tech check it out. Unrelated side...
  13. Problem with Connectivity/connecting to FordPass. Tried fuse and 12V reset. Ideas?

    I don't have the Mach-E anymore as it was a trade-in. I deleted the Mach-E from my FordPass app on day 1 of Lightning ownership, as well as removing the Mach-E from my online Ford account in case it was interfering with the connection to Lightning, but no it didn't help.
  14. Problem with Connectivity/connecting to FordPass. Tried fuse and 12V reset. Ideas?

    All 4 toggles buttons were on. The only thing that isn't available is "Share Data for insurance", which is greyed out. I couldn't turn off any of these 4 buttons when I tried (even SiriusXM with 360L)...all are stuck on.
  15. Problem with Connectivity/connecting to FordPass. Tried fuse and 12V reset. Ideas?

    Thanks for the ideas. I don't have VPN app turned on when I tried to connect for many times. Is it possible that it the Ford servers detected that I had tried to connect once with VPN on in the past (accidentally left VPN on during first try on day one, but turned it off since then), then...
