I never updated here, but I was trying to humanely deter the squirrels (despite my bluster). But in the last week of February, I returned from a 4-day trip where my truck had been parked at the airport. The morning after my return, the squirrels struck again and destroyed the same wiring...
No, it was just my opinion that the button/field I needed to press wasn't obvious. In the end, I got there and thought that my struggles might aid another person when a lot of people in this thread are saying that the option wasn't available to them.
I saw this thread today and checked and didn't have the menu item in my Ford Pass app. I updated the app and it was there. Then I didn't see the $0 option on the initial screen, just a price for monthly. I ended up selecting what appeared to not be a pressable field and it showed me the...
They're estimating 5-6 hours of work and their rate is $206 per hour. 3-way splice of multiple wires that require solder, shrink wrap, and retaping. Then there is the time spent root causing, more diagnostics and testing, and putting back together the parts they take off to access the wiring...
I think they also need something to grind down their teeth since they continuously grow. Metal wires are the right size and hard enough to help with it. I'll buy some pepper spray and/or peppermint stuff and try coating the underside and insides of my truck when I get it back if I haven't...
They run along the fence outside my home-office window where my dog chases them back and forth. I'm going to start with rat traps that I'll to tie a 1-foot string to and secure them to the top of the fence. No point in maiming them and letting them get away with the traps. This should also...
About 25 years ago when I was even dumber than I am now, I had a 1984 convertible 5.0 mustang. I rotated all my tires myself just before the end of a college semester. Then I drove the car 1200 miles to Reno NV. At some point well before the halfway point, I began hearing/feeling a rhythmic...
The other day, I walked out to my truck in warmer (40 degree) rain after a week of sub-freezing temperatures. I saw some chewed up acorns on top of my rear passenger wheel. I instantly had murderous thoughts about rodents. The first few months I had my truck (Sept '22), I had found a mountain...
I love it! I made something very similar for a Tacoma I had in 2011. Life was so much easier for my dog that way and it was also handy for when I wanted to travel with things in the backseat that I was going to be reaching back for commonly while driving.
I already have ACC/BC in my Lariat ER, but just read this whole thread from beginning to end because I'm a nerd for debugging problems and features and their eventual solutions. I give this thread a 10 out of 10. Would read again!
I've owned many vehicles including a new F-150 ICE. This is still the best vehicle and truck I've ever owned. I would absolutely buy one again. I'll own this one until significant battery technology advancements are made. Today, you'd buy the same tech as my 2022, but for 75% of the cost I paid.
Prior to having the Tesla adapter, I went to Corpus Christi to stay the night on the USS Lexington with my son. We charged to 90% in San Antonio and got there with less than 20% SOC. The plan was to charge at one of the stations at the various dealerships who had them on our way back Sunday...
The immediate drop you see when starting it after a charge could be caused by a cell imbalance across different cells in the battery. It can limit the total output voltage of the battery which will result in a drop in the calculated SOC after beginning to draw from the battery. Assuming the...
Thank you! I've been losing my mind for a little less than a week now. It seems like a software update lost or changed my headlight setting. Strangely enough, when I just turned on the truck, there was no light indicating which headlight setting was selected. I had to start turning the knob...
Even if they pay the ransom, it can take a week or two for them to contact and negotiate the ransom with the cyber terrorists since they are often over seas in a different time zone and in no hurry to help their victims. Even then, once they have the private encryption key, it can take weeks to...
