I had never needed PAAK until 2 days again when I misplaced my key fob while working out. Turns out I discovered I don't have PAAK on my Ford App. I have an early build 2022 Lariat edition. I tried deleting the Ford App and reinstalling but to no avail. I'm soon to get 20000 mile check-up and...

When I was last at the Hatteras ferry terminal (with my Kia EV9, not Lightning) there was a charger but not operational.

I've loved my lightning and at end of November convinced my nephew to trade in his ICE truck for a lightning. Not sure where I'll go from here though I plan to hang on to my lightning and get as many miles on it as possible. I traded in my Model X for a Kia EV9 last year and while the Kia is a...

This is why the forum is valuable - gave the headlight switch some serious twists & autodimmer is working again & no more chimes when the door is open! Thank you B177y!

On my way to give it a try…

I've developed two changes suddenly: I now get chimes whenever driver's door is open, even when not turned on. I've lost auto dimming despite having the "switch" turned on. These seemed to have occurred simultaneously and I'm not aware of any updates that were made. The chimes are irritating but...

Hey Chris - I always get a chuckle seeing your icon!! Thanks for responding.

So very appreciative of all the replies. Absolutely no rush to get the windshield replaced & just maybe that will be a repair that won't get made. There is no shame in riding around with a crack in the windshield!!

I took a rock to my windshield which has progressed to dual tracks around 6" long. I contacted my insurance company (Progressive) & it was only then that I became aware that for replacement windshield, I have to pay my $1,000 deductible. Safelite is the preferred provider but I've cancelled the...

I live in the triangle & consulted the LineX people in Raleigh but ended up going with a WeatherTech bedliner. It fit perfect and was considerably less expensive. It's been on my '22 lightning for about 30 months now and I've been very pleased!!

I had to replace part # 7 in your diagram after hitting a deer. I found a YouTube video on removing the bumper which is what now must do in order to access parts 7 or 8. I wasn’t able to find the link to the video when posting this.

When I owned both a lightning & a model x, the lightning became my daily driver. It’s a very competent machine, plenty of interior space & very secure footing. The model x had a number of eccentricities that detracted from its engineering - best example is convincing the falcon wing doors to...

remove it dear liza, dear liza! It's nicely designed that it covers the button to lower the shifter and one has to remove the cubby to access the button!

Yes - holds quarters for the WV turnpike!

Thanks for posting this. It was a dynamic presentation and very informative. The main speaker voices caution about the success of Ford & Chevy in the inevitable EV world!
