  1. 2023 F-150 Lightning Windshield Cracked After Defrost—Ford Won’t Cover It! Help Needed

    Yes, it's a dud, it couldn't stay intact after being exposed to the roads for however long it has been. Better lemon law return buyback your truck and file a class action lawsuit against ford. ? Still though, if you're 80 years old and on the dole why did you buy the truck or any other...
  2. 2023 F-150 Lightning Windshield Cracked After Defrost—Ford Won’t Cover It! Help Needed

    It's called soundscreen and it's applicable to a whole bunch of Ford vehicles, my old ice f150 had it. 3rd winter on my windshield and it's fine, I precondition every day, I'm preconditioning right now, no problems. If it did break then for sure it's from something that hit it.
  3. 2023 F-150 Lightning Windshield Cracked After Defrost—Ford Won’t Cover It! Help Needed

    Double check your policy, if you're in Canada you most likely have glass coverage worked in that has less of a deductible. Alternatively, go to a national chain glass shop and get a quote. How did you afford the truck? How have you lived this long without ever seeing a cracked windshield?
  4. Battery Preconditioning.

    That's downright balmy but yes, charging creates heat. Below freezing you'll see much less to nil. 240v level 2 will warm the battery when it's cold actually cold.
  5. How can I remove ice from inside the truck’s charge cord receptacle

    So far this has happened to me once in 3 winters. Parked outside all the time and no cover. I use the fcsp. I used my wife's hair dryer, it worked incredibly well. Not only did it melt the ice, the wind force generated by it helped clear anything out, way better than a heat gun. Luckily the...
  6. 23 platinum not spraying washer fluid

    Could be a few things. -frozen(washer fluid, even - 40 doesn't melt ice that quickly if there was water in it previously.) -kinked, disconnected or broken line -bad pump -contaminated washer fluid that has fine bits of plastic in it that clogs the tiny nozzles.
  7. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    No, in fact, I've had cars that lock only 1 rear wheel by design. One was manual trans to boot so I could have easily left it in neutral. Electronic parking brakes use a motor inside the caliper to drive the pads on, no pesky cables to break or seize Salt and sand are your friends in the...
  8. Battery Preconditioning.

    FordPass isn't overly accurate on any of its reporting.
  9. Battery Preconditioning.

    The lightning maxes out at 1200w on level 1, even if you have a 20a 110v evse. As far as keeping the battery warm I guess it would depend on the outside temp. I tried it the first winter I had the truck while parked at work and it didn't do much, more hassle plugging and unplugging if anything.
  10. Lightning will not charge: Post 27 GWM

    Could also be a location issue, sometimes resetting your charge locations will fix the gremlins. There have also been a couple reports of charge controller failures in the truck where it will only work on dcfc.
  11. Battery Preconditioning.

    The truck does not precondition the battery on level 1, it only charges. You might see some residual heating but not the battery maintaining that it does on level 2. It is, I was thinking the wall side of it. We just have to be careful with extensions as the connectors can be a weak point...
  12. Battery Preconditioning.

    The 14-50 plug is rated for 50a, which is 40a max. I have yet to see a 48a plug but ya never know what they sell on amazeon now.
  13. Parking brake fail? Wet, not icy surface

    It is possible the parking pawl is broken and you weren't putting the brake on. Are you parking on an icy hill still? It will take all of less than 5 minutes to test your truck parking systems.
  14. Battery Preconditioning.

    48a on a cord? Just use the departure time setting while plugged in overnight.
  15. I know this is a Ford forum but.

    Right where it belongs. ?
  16. DC (not so) Fast charging

    What was your soc? Battery temp? Did you use fordnav to precondition before the charger stop? What brand charger? What output was the charger? How many units were there and how many were being used? How long did you charge for and to what percentage? The lightning is a 400v architecture...
  17. Pulsing Drivetrain While Cruising (Only in Normal Mode) at ~45MPH

    Is the truck empty or do you have weight in the back? If no weight then start with the wheels and go from there.
  18. Mad Ramps for Hauling <50" ATV/SxS

    ? That's a load.
