New FDRS update this morning which is a major revision from '44' to '45' so make sure you tick the box to delete your user info during the install to avoid formatting errors or other issues when running the new version. Here's the download link.
Well you'd sort of have to be keeping a tracking spreadsheet really to keep up.
I gave that up a couple years ago :)
Powertrain updates are released a few times a year on average...sometimes more (in the case of the Mach-E as an example).
Yes, that ACM update that wouldn't die is still with us.

It was a little darker outside today when I left to do some shopping and I happened to notice that there is a blue ring around the edge of this Bronco Sport rotary knob afterall. I just didn’t notice it before.
All those previous repairs you listed were FSAs (except for the rear coolant pump). That's normal maintenance (FSAs) and recalls (like the lightbar). Nothing suspicious about any of that. I'm really sorry about finding yourself away from home with a new-to-you truck that's experiencing issues...
Judging by the number that have sold on Ebay in just the last 24hrs (5 at current count) there must be a shed-load of people doing this mod on their Lightnings......
I wonder how many Etsy consoles have been sold at this point?
I wonder if Ford is taking notice of this trend and thinking of...
The servicing dealer checked it over....did they connect the truck up to the FDRS computer (laptop) and run the FHCP test? There is also a routine there to 'initialize' the front latch mechanism. If they did all of that and still needed parts then fine...but there's a lot that can be done using...

So if you're not driving down the road having...
Well it's a bit more than that....after I installed the rotary shifter but prior to buttoning everything back up I went to start the truck to see if there were any DTCs using FDRS......well I immediately got a "No Key Detected" message in the IPC. So I had to then grab the top trim cover with...
That wire bundle and the pigtail you're talking about is the one for the Key Detection module under the right rear cupholder. It was a tight stretch to get it to reconnect, but it did. Yeah, getting that one unplugged, and then afterward re-plugged took a minute...
Wasn't the latest Sync update for EAP to clean up the WAL stuff? Pretty much all it was for right? It wasn't a very big update.
Anybody else notice that the notes section in FDRS this morning is sometimes in "Italiano"?
And since I know somebody is going to ask...here's what my current user...
