Almost crashed a few times before I learned to make sure the 60% side was latched up. I'd be driving along and hear a loud boom, wondering what the hell just hit me?!! After my heartbeat returned to a reasonable rate, realized it's just the unlatched seat banging down.

I've wondered about this. Entering my first cold season with the truck, tried a conditioning schedule for the first time last week and it worked great (didn't notice what happened with the steering wheel). But being retired I don't have a regular schedule. Most of the time, our decision to drive...

Didn't work for me yesterday. Working today. Still V4.30.2

Is it really an actual photo of each truck rolling off the line? Given they can't seem to get the messages out correctly, I've always suspected that they just have stock photos of each model and color option.

I haven't heard about this happening in a while. But I just got this email last night...for a truck I took delivery on July 11th! Clearly Ford still hasn't figured this out. Perhaps this explains why I haven't received any OTA updates. Ford thinks I don't have it yet :rolleyes:

You summed up my situation perfectly. Buying my Lightning was the dumbest financial decision I've ever made. I always looked at vehicles as depreciating assets, bought low, and ran them into the ground. But even my ICE-loving sons encouraged me. I'm retired, could afford it, and it will probably...

Charging deserts are not the exclusive province of southern states either. The attached picture is central-northern-western NH (and most of northern NE is the same). Nothing but Tesla chargers the whole way. I live on the right side of the picture. My son lives on the left side. Last week we...

I've seen many references to the use of the AT&T cellular network for updates. This may explain why I have not received any yet. Where I live, and where the truck is parked 99% of the time, there is virtually no cell coverage. Our cell plan is through AT&T which we access using one of their Cell...

I suspected as much. Thanks.

As noted above, when I initially connected the NOCO, I was getting a charge reading of 25% or less. But when I checked about an hour later, the reading was 100% and in maintenance mode. This is with a NOCO 2 (2 amp) charger. Would the LVP really charge that quickly?

I was wondering the same. We are on a well and use our pressure washer all the time. I took the battery cover off of mine for the first time yesterday. I too live on a dirt road and was surprised at how much dust was all over everything in there.

Well I think I've discovered why my software updates have been missing. Yesterday I charged my truck to 90%. Between yesterday and this morning, drove about 100 miles. For the first time connected my NOCO charger to the LVB. It's barely registering! 25% or less charge light flashing. It will be...

Thanks for the updates! Very clear and easy to follow now!

Never mind. Found most of what I need here. Sorry for the duplication. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/charging-12v-battery-bms-reset-procedure.16979/

There are several threads where the procedure to charge the LVB to 100% to try and enable Over The Air (OTA) updates has been covered. But they are often buried in responses to other topics, and sometimes it seems the recommended steps conflict with other posts. It would be appreciated if...

Thanks. But spending $500+ and becoming an expert on Ford diagnostics far exceeds my desire for the updates. I'm going to try charging my LVB to see if that triggers the OTA updates. If not, off to my dealer (who's very good) as they will need to do the BECM Customer Satisfaction update that I...

For the more inexperienced in the group. Can you describe what Mongoose is, and the steps you took to do this? I've tried following the various threads on all of this. But they have a lot of conflicting info (remove low-voltage battery (LVB) to charge, just use these 2 posts, no, those 2...

My experience to date with my FCSP and charging limit has been without error. I have the limit set to 80% and it stops there every time. Haven't lost FCSP connectivity either. Have you ruled out network/signal issues? (not defending points about Ford software. While my FCSP has been fine and...

Seems somewhat counter-intuitive to me. Most posts have indicated that the OTA updates won't work unless the 12V battery is fully or almost fully charged. But when the truck is in "idle" mode and the electric motors are not running, doesn't most of the power to run all the other features come...

Sounds like it's now working correctly. Even when on, you only get the message if someone or something is on the back seat. Mine is on but I only get the warning when the dog is with me and "sits" back there.
