Was checking out the 'Build and Buy' this morning and noticed that the gallery photos showed a Rapid Red Lightning, but the Lariat Build and Buy only shows this color selection: So you can get two different 'whites', a silver, a black, and a blue that is so dark that it might as well be black...

If you ever run the Sync "Check Updates" function, and it says "Getting the latest software update status"....but never actually comes up with either your last OTA or anything else...just keeps saying "This may take a minute or so)....like for over a minute. Disconnect your 12V battery and wait...

While getting the Lightning washed recently at a carwash I frequent (monthly subscription), the first set of brushes came into contact with my left fender hard enough to pop open the charge port door...and since the second set of brushes it encountered turn in the opposite direction they ended...

And another one this morning.

Released this morning 18 Sep 23. Enables the free installation of an improved dash mat above the Sync screen to hopefully preclude spilled liquids from damaging the ACM (radio) module just below it. All Lightnings made up to and including 22 Dec '22 are included in this CSP. Owner letters...

There have been discussions on the forum where the suggestion has been made to disconnect the 12V battery in order to "reset" some function of the vehicle that was not performing properly (TCU comes to mind for the '23 model owners). I realize that disconnecting the 12V battery is probably...

So hooked up the trailer today to take the mower in for service. I like to keep an eye on the load so I started investigating the camera button options. I get to the one that is the view for the trailer and it left me wondering what the programmers were thinking when they stuck a frickin...

Turns out that the Lightning and the Mach-E share at least one thing in common (well besides several of the electronic modules like the APIM, etc.). And that would be the 12V battery (AKA the LVB, as we are now distinguishing it from the HVB) I was in the parts lookup today as a result of...
