  1. ProPower auto shutdown after 30min when truck is off

    Does the heater cycle, or heat continuously? There are a few threads that talk about the system needing to sense at least 90W every 5 minutes or it will shut down. If the thermostat stops calling for heat for more than 5 minutes, that would let ProPower shut down. To keep it running, people...
  2. Windshield wipers completely stopped responding.

    Did you replace the battery yourself? Did the BMS get reset? If it were my truck I’d disconnect the battery cables for 15 minutes (at least). Put the battery on a charger - if it’s not at 100%, charge it fully before reconnecting the battery cables. After reconnecting the battery I’d reset...
  3. Change in battery %

    Every time you wake the truck the modules draw significant power from the 12v for a half hour.
  4. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    Key fobs aren’t too expense if you don’t go to the dealer. I programmed this one to my 24 Flash and got the added benefit of remote start/climate from the key fob.
  5. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    Way to kill the vibe dude. I live in probably one of the safest cities in the USA but I still lock my doors and take measures to compensate for Ford’s vulnerabilities. No one is taking my shit if I can help it.
  6. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    As far as I know, taillight theft hasn’t been a big issue in KC area. That hasn’t keep me from trying to prevent my lights from being stolen. I believe the thief would have to get the tailgate open to steal the taillights. I have a handicapped tag and try to always back my truck to the sign so...
  7. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    Maybe that should be password protected too.
  8. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    A neighbor had his new F150 stolen about 3 years ago. In the end the police figured out that it was the Ford dealer service tech - he made a key and stole the truck. The service tech’s girlfriend was involved in a high speed chase that resulted in my neighbors truck being totaled. I don’t know...
  9. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    The reset function needs to be password protected! I saw some info indicating that Ford was going to do this on the 2024 or 2025s, but I don’t think it came to fruition - unless it’s on the upper trims and I’m unaware.
  10. Lightning vs. Kia collision - "Built Ford Tough"

    I got an estimate today. Bed side replacement and bumper replacement for $5,900. You're correct - the tail light is in tact. There was no contact with the Lightning's rear passenger wheel. That mudflap has a little scratch from the collision. I think the steel bumper took most of the...
  11. Lightning vs. Kia collision - "Built Ford Tough"

    I’ve been worried about door dings… Today an uninsured motorist did this to my 24 Flash. When the cop saw my truck he said “Wow - built Ford tough.”
  12. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    I had the same issue last night with the OBCC update.
  13. Is your truck making new dings and gong sounds?

    Probably a low state of charge on your 12v battery. The sounds are different when the battery is low.
  14. My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

    We've got it pretty good here in eastern Kansas. I just checked my electric usage through my last bill, which was 8/27/25. I've used 18,139 kWh and the total cost including distribution, taxes, etc., was $1,885.09 (or 10.4 cents per kWh). My August bill included 24% more usage than the prior...
