The hardest part for me is that I was a Tesla fan for years and owned Teslas since 2020.
With Tesla, anyone can buy a Toolbox subscription, and there are no regional blocks. Independent mechanics can work freely, and Tesla support is actually there when you need it.
Since the F-150 Lightning...
I’ve also tested this using a completely different account,different country and the result is exactly the same.
This is not an isolated case or a user-side issue. Many independent mechanics across Europe are facing the same problem with FDRS/Motorcraft access, even when following all official...
To be honest, I’m not really a heavy FordPass user either.
My main concern is not FordPass itself, but the fact that the truck hasn’t received any OTA updates for almost two years, and I’m experiencing system glitches because of that.
I also use the built-in navigation quite a lot, mainly...
I would like to further clarify the situation based on the official email from IOEUFSI, which I have attached for reference.
In that email, it is clearly stated that the use of a VPN is not permitted. The FDRS system is able to detect VPN usage automatically, and once detected, the account or...
Unfortunately, Ford in Albania does not support the F-150 Lightning at all. I’ve taken the truck there only once, they charged me around $200, and nothing was fixed or resolved.
Regarding FDRS, I’ve tried multiple times. I purchased 1-day subscriptions three separate times, but Ford Europe...
My biggest concern is the programming part. If it has to be done with FORScan, that’s something many people are familiar with, so that part doesn’t worry me as much.
Ford Norway also told me that it’s possible to buy a European TCU from a Ford Ranger. Those units are not extremely expensive...
Someone told me that the solution is to replace the TCU with a European one.
However, the problem then is that I would need to find someone who can program it.
I also read on one Ford forum (unfortunately I can’t find the post now) that it might be possible to change the region/continent of the...
Hi everyone,
I recently imported a Ford F-150 Lightning from the USA to Albania (Europe) and I’m experiencing connectivity issues after the vehicle changed regions.
It appears that the TCU (Telematics Control Unit) is frozen or locked due to the continent/region change. Currently...
Thank you very much for the help.
The blend door actuator for the driver’s side was actually located on the passenger side, down by the footwell. It was very easy to access—no interior trim or plastics needed to be removed; it was directly visible.
With the diagram, it was very easy to locate...
Hi everyone, I need some help with my 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning.
I’m having an issue with the blend door actuator (driver side). On the driver side it only blows cold air, while the passenger side works fine and blows heat. I scanned the truck with a diagnostic tool and it shows “blend door...
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction and helping me identify where the problem could be. You were absolutely right — water had entered this connector and caused carbonization on two of the pins.
Unfortunately, the issue had to be repaired rather than replaced, as there is...
