  1. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    It was that weird one that didn’t really change anything that was noticeable. Like it was all background stuff.
  2. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    Yeah that was the idea. But I had to actually go out there and tell it to "Update Now" to get things started. I thought it might connect to the mothership while it was in climate mode...but I guess not.
  3. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    He had to enter a pin....? I wonder what that was about? I still have that ACM update in my list. I just ignore it now. But on the other hand my truck does not have an outstanding recall for the ACM module anyway (24U14). Just a ACM module in my list of available software that won't go away.
  4. šŸ›» BedRug is Now Husky – Preorders for the New Guardian Comfort and Guardian Impact

    I've had my Bedrug so long I really can't remember what version it is. It covers the whole bed including the tailgate and has the closed cell foam sections on the underside that fit into the bed and cushion the load and make the floor flat. After a disastrous experience with a paint-to-match...
  5. Before You Schedule an Appointment for the Recall 25C69 (IPM) Fix -- make sure your dealer has the actual software update needed

    So, posted this morning in PTS an update on 25C69 (labeled Supplement #2): And the details of what's changed are below:
  6. Before You Schedule an Appointment for the Recall 25C69 (IPM) Fix -- make sure your dealer has the actual software update needed

    You won’t even have to go back in all probability. Once it’s announced on PTS that techs can now apply the update the SA can go to the FSA verification located under the Diagnostics menu and click the verify button to get the code and put that in the required section to clear the recall.
  7. Before You Schedule an Appointment for the Recall 25C69 (IPM) Fix -- make sure your dealer has the actual software update needed

    Ummm yeah. I have. And there's a difference between software that is physically available to download and apply using FDRS,....and Ford not telling techs that it's okay to apply those updates now to satisfy 25C69. The software updates are to the PCM and SOBDMC (AKA rear motor resolver...
  8. 12V Battery replacement with H4

    There is even a service tool routine in FDRS for the BCM module to correct the 12V battery charging settings back to what they're supposed to be in the event that somebody (using FORScan, I assume) has tweaked the settings inappropriately. It's listed under the Programmable Settings tab in FDRS.
  9. 25C69 Recall - Ford Recalls 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning Over Rollaway Risk

    Regarding the whole FTCP ('Mannequin' demo/service date issue)...On my '23 GT Mach-E it got put in to FTCP purgatory for 60 days by accident (I expressed an interest to my salesman to trade my '21 model in, and I was literally 24hrs too late, as the '23 model had already gotten put on the...
  10. 25C69 Recall - Ford Recalls 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning Over Rollaway Risk

    So I did the update...but the software verification afterward errored (not the actual update process, that went fine)....and it's pretty obvious why; 1) Ford hasn't announced that the software is available for '22/'23 models yet (even though it's shown in PTS and FDRS, and 2) since it hasn't...
  11. 25C69 Recall - Ford Recalls 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning Over Rollaway Risk

    12 Mar 26 is that day apparently. Logged in this morning and voila there's a PCM and SOBDMC update waiting to get applied to my '22 model. So once it warms up a bit (say around noon), I'll get the gear out and knock that out and try the FSA verification to see if these are the two files that...
  12. 25C69 Recall - Ford Recalls 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning Over Rollaway Risk

    I will definitely post back here the minute I see that update (SOBDMC) show up for my '22 model.
  13. Wolfbox install - Windshield mount, hardwire and external camera

    Well the Wolfbox mirror problem finally pushed me over the edge yesterday....just couldn't handle it anymore (that's my story and I'm sticking to it), I traded the Expedition in on a '24 Bronco Heritage 2Dr yesterday morning.
  14. 25C69 Recall - Ford Recalls 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning Over Rollaway Risk

    As independent operators you’ll notice what looks like a ā€˜generic’ dealership code is pre-populated just above the TSB selection dropdown box. I have selected the FSA and verified updates that satisfied the software requirements in the past and received the ā€˜code’. Problem is since you’re not...
  15. Wolfbox install - Windshield mount, hardwire and external camera

    I have the 900 on my old Expedition primarily because it originally came without any backup camera or bumper sensors. The front and rear dashcam recording has come in handy. What I don't like about this thing as a 'mirror' is the fact that as you've said it's still waaay too bright at night...
