UPDATE: The heater module was indeed the failed part. Once replaced, it fired right up. The whole truck was defeated by a freaking kettle.

They just referred me to the dealer again. They couldn’t name the specific components. Wtf Ford? I’m starting to waiver in my loyalty with Ford now unfortunately.

Agreed. I was thinking of sending it off to test and report. Just don’t know where to send. I wonder if Ford could test it at another dealership? Idk if they even have that capacity.

The repairs haven’t been completed. So far, I’m being threatened with about 7700 for the harness r/r and about 5-600 for the heater module.

I guess I’ll find out when the heater module comes in. I’ll report back with the final resolution. I’ve also requested the original parts from the very beginning, out of curiosity, to inspect and determine point of failure. Unfortunately, the parts are not in my custody, so they could be...

Great advice! However, the hv harness, originally suspected, was tested via bed removal and probing, according to ford’s trouble-tree, according to the tech. They basically talked me into it, even tried to sell me a different truck, but I’m stubborn and I like this one, so…..

No accident that I’m aware of. Bought used and clean Carfax. I’ve called Ford N.A. and they’re in agreement with the dealer that the hv cable is not covered the way the warranty is written. I’ve also passed the 36k miles mark, so no dice bumper to bumper.

It’s a 22, I believe it’s not covered. It’s also not on the list of open recalls for my veh. “Ford F-150 Lightning heater recall (23C32/NHTSA 23V688) for select 2023 models (built July-Aug 2023)”

bmw has been placing the REX in the rear under the trunk for years without issue. I’d rather keep the frunk than have a spare I’m going to only use once every 7 years or so.

Yes, they said they “meet me halfway” only on the heater lol

Oh wow, idk. I’ll have to get clarification on that.

No. They could not show where it’s frying. No contact damage or anything of the sort.

It’s Halloween, from my phone, I send the command to prepare the cabin for departure, and WHAM!, charging fault. I’m not too worried about it, seen it before, usually a glitch or something. This time was different. Have the truck towed, as now I can’t move it, it’s throwing the red death screen...
