  1. Ford App is Battery Hog on iOS 26!

    I agree with others that you might need a larger sample size than a few hours. If your phone has used very little battery in total, then percentages are not all that relevant. For what it’s worth, over the last 10 days FP has used 1% of my battery. I don’t have PAAK. my suggestions is give...
  2. Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced Power

    Thought I would post my report. ’24 Flash (Dec purchase), about 7,000 miles. I just got the truck back from the dealer after having the recall done. Thankfully, no issue there, just replaced and re-torqued the bolts. Running errands the day after, and the yellow wrench randomly appears, with...
  3. DATA THREAD: Post your tow and efficiency!

    Not sure if the OP Spreadsheet continues to be updated, but it's helpful to see various results. Just completed my first extended tow, and this thread was helpful. Here is my result: Trailer - U-Haul 6x12 cargo trailer (double axle) Efficiency average - Bounced between 1.3 and 1.4 mi/kWh at...
  4. Is this a slimy dealer GPS tracker?

    I thought to check my truck for this too, but as I understand it woudln't be directly plugged into the OBD2 port, but instead wired into it somehow. I assume I need to trace wires from the OBD and see if they lead anywhere interesting...
  5. Feedback on appropriate expectations for a Dealer

    This is sort of my point, and what I was hoping for. Why would they schedule me if they cannot even look at it for more than 3 days? Similarly, I completely understand that they may need to order parts. But just tell me what it's going to take, and perhaps let me pick the truck back up after an...
  6. Feedback on appropriate expectations for a Dealer

    I have 2024 Lightning that needs the upper control arm recall repair. I also have a significant amount of water in the front light bar. A couple of weeks ago I decided to test my local dealer (not where I purchased the truck). I called the service number on a Thursday, and the nice lady took...
  7. My BougeRV 30QT Fridge setup in frunk

    I am curious about leaving these things in the frunk multiple hours/days. I assume these fridge/freezers generate some heat and that there is no ventilation in the frunk. Is there any concern that it gets too hot to operate, that over the longer term it might shorten the life of the fridge, or...
  8. Honest answer please: When will Tesla Superchargers be added to Connected Navigation

    It’s funny, I turned off automatic updates because I have a 2024 and don’t want anything to change for the worse via an update. The truck is fine as is…
  9. Ford Rear Splash Guards install on Lightning Flash

    Some prior threads that I used to help purchase and install mine. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/mud-flaps-splash-guards-confirmed.14031/page-3 https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/hardware-for-splash-guards.18780/#post-377513
  10. Another example of 12V Battery causing bizarre issues.

    Thanks for all the feedback. Thought I would give an update. First, I used a multimeter to check the truck yesterday, and it was 13.5V while ON, and 12.5V while OFF, and 14.5V while OFF but plugged in. All seemed normal in terms of operation. However, I had one more weird issue. I plugged it...
  11. Another example of 12V Battery causing bizarre issues.

    Just read this thread about resetting the BMS after disconnecting the 12V. I wonder if I should trickle charge the 12V and do the BMS reset when it's full. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/disconnecting-the-12v-battery-to-fix-a-problem-bms-learned-values-reset.15900/ Do you...
  12. Another example of 12V Battery causing bizarre issues.

    I wanted to share my experience to help other owners who might face similar issues. Reading this forum informed me that the 12V is a common issue, and this knowledge helped me to not overreact when I saw all of the warnings. I almost called a tow truck… TLDR is that the truck would not start...
  13. Lightning Commuter Mid-winter to early spring 5-month chart on daily distance, kWh used, miles per kWh plus +++

    I love data and graphs, so thanks for showing this. Gives a sense of variability and the effect of temp. I have one question. I wonder if you could get the temperature (low or avg) for each of those days? You could then run a regression and get the impact of temp on efficiency, graphing...
  14. Power onboard turning off

    Another thread that might be relevant to your issue: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/power-outlet-are-timing-off-after-6-minutes.26300/
  15. Power outlet are timing off after 6 minutes!

    I can think of multiple use cases in which there is either a low continuous draw (running lights, fans, or other small accessory while camping) or higher but intermittent draw that are less frequent than 6 mins (chainsaw example above, many work related uses, fridge freezer possibly). It’s...
