Thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking the process would be straightforward (1-2 hours of work) if I followed a procedural tutorial like this one: The question is where to go from there? Can I just connect the rotary shifter to one of the exposed plugs highlighted in the attached images...

Is there a simple, inexpensive, (potentially ugly) way of connecting a rotary shifter without any center console for a temporary jump seat conversion? Not looking for OEM aesthetic or ergonomic, just the absolute easiest way of having a reversible jump seat installed in the center to allow the...

Hey all - Wondering if anyone out there has installed a 6th jump seat in between the two bucket seats in their Lightning with the larger screen: I've seen this thread where it was done previously on a smaller screen Lightning...

Mine was pulling about 8 amps when not charging. It took awhile to trace, but the dealer said they've diagnosed it to the telematics control module and have ordered a replacement. The did say it would be covered under warranty (EV battery warranty?). Which was unexpected and amazing news. I'll...

Curious what the outcome was for this? I seem to be having the exact same issue. Dealer thinks it's the BCM and suggesting replacement, I'm out of warranty so hesitant on quickly accepting their assessment.

Update: I tested every breaker in both the frunk and the passenger-side panel. The only notable change was when I removed fuse 210 in the frunk panel, the current draw dropped from a steady 8 amps to 4 amps. Fuse 210 is referenced as the Body control model. I dropped the vehicle back at the...

Yep, pretty sure you just saved my multimeter. Lol. It's rated for 10 amp maximum. I'm going to pick up a Klein clamp meter.

Great call (again). From the description: "Measures AC/DC voltage, AC current". I'll probably just set up my regular multimeter for the testing. Confirmed it can measure DC current.

Great call out. It looks like the cheap one at Princess Auto (Canadian Harbor Freight) will do AC/DC. https://www.princessauto.com/en/mini-digital-clamp-meter/product/PA0008344707 Will give that a go later today.

If you're curious, I tried an infrared camera on the passenger fuse panel and this is what it showed. I tried taking the top fuses out and the parasitic draw remained, though, so I gave up on that technique. I

Nothing yet! Ford had my vehicle for a couple of days last week. At first, they said the terminal bolts were loose again (I'm pretty sure they weren't), then they had it for another day and said they were having trouble with it, but were able to reduce the draw from 6 amps to 1 amp. I had to...

FYI if you're still struggling with this, I had the same problem and it finally worked with the following settings. Very strict multi-core operation Very strict execution

Ok, I think I get it. Detecting amperage (current flow) on each circuit while the vehicle is off would be the most accurate way of determining which circuit is pulling power from the battery. My graph was looking at the voltage of the battery itself as an indicator of parasitic drain, rather...

Tracking amperage seems like it would be the most precise way to monitor parasitic draw. That said, can't I calculate amperage from the voltage drop data I already have? (I.E. I can calculate rough amperage from battery capacity, SOC or V drop rate / time period.) Also, even if amperage is the...

Wow, that's genius. I have a thermal camera I use for detecting thermal leaks. I'll give that a try. It's consumer grade though, so might not be sensitive enough for those tiny fuses. I can probably just use a screw driver to close the passenger door latch to have the vehicle think it's fully...
