I had a plastic bag sucked into the air intake in a grocery store parking lot after I returned to the truck, probably sitting in 130F to 140F parking lot heat (asphalt parking lots get a lot hotter than the weather service air temperature). Fortunately, the bag got stuck wrapped around one of...

Have you actually tried charging the truck in full-accessory mode with the truck plugged into its charger (FCSP for me)? It works, and I have the evidence from Car Scanner to prove it. Have never tried a non-FCSP charger, so I don't know what happens with other devices. See the post below for...

With its cameras and sensors, the Lightning, despite its size, is easier to park than any vehicle I've ever owned before. Read several accounts of the aggressiveness of Park Assist and decided not to go there. If Park Assist could calmly and slowly park my truck in the garage xx inches from...

Do you folks have iPhone 15s? I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and whether I choose the public Beta or the developer Beta, it offers me iOS 18 Beta 4. With Beta updates turned off, Setting, General, Software Update says I'm on iOS 18.0, which figures since I don't have an iPhone 15. I have the...

IMHO, it's the truck and the FCSP that are the black sheep of the family. When those two devices have managed to get their act together, my HIS system has always provided backup power. Through M Professional, when I've looked, the Acrel meter is always detecting a grid disconnect, but the FCSP...

My recent experience has been similar to yours. When backup transfer is not behaving, several times I've found it helpful to unplug the charger from the truck, let the truck and charger sit by themselves a minute or two, and then reinsert the charger head in the truck port. Sometimes I've had...

Relative to my post above about the FCSP "update pending," there's lots of weird stuff in the following thread about the finickiness of the FCSP firmware number and the update pending notification. Maybe I just joined the club again...

I've been distracted by other stuff. I'm a 78-year-old hearing aid (HA) wearer, and Phonak just issued a new, very powerful hearing aid, the Audeo Sphere, with active noise cancellation by a built-in neural network. Nothing like it before. Should make its way into earbuds. And it will be...

Late to the party here. Got my 2023 Lariat ER on 5/5/23. Just got this update around 11 PM on 8/10/24 (arrived around 4 pm, charged LVB to >80% later, and manually triggered a successful install).

Thanks for the update. In the past, I've tried to change the Max Current Requested, and in spite of the Your Changes Have Been Saved "confirmation," the charging rate wouldn't change (for the longest time, it was stuck on 80A). And then, invariably, at some later time, for some unknown reason...

I think something to keep in mind is not just first-passthrough IR rejection but an overall figure commonly referred to as Total Solar Energy Rejection (TSER). Although marketing materials may show, Wow!, 5% tint rejects 95% of IR, it never ends up being that good. The rejected IR, rather than...

You have to be careful which one you buy, though. I had one that routinely measured about 0.3 volt lower than the voltage read across my Honda battery terminals with a multimeter. I forget whether I checked the voltage across the auxiliary power outlet connectors, but I always just added 0.3...

So, if you are referring to a drop in HVB state of charge, you have to remember when the truck is on, it charges the LVB from the HVB. Perhaps for your numbers, you'd arrived at a state where your LVB had a low state of charge and the HVB was charging it with a several amp current. However, if...

You shouldn't use "it" but rather reference the specific source of power you're talking about. I presume "it" is the 12v battery. The Ac and Pro Power OnBoard get their juice from the HVB, AFAIK. An inverter (something that converts DC to AC current) can draw power without a load (the no-load...

Not sure what you mean about "backup situation." If you mean "Whole Home Backup" provided through the Home Integration System, the truck does not have to be "on," for power transfer to run. In automatic mode, it can be triggered with the truck mostly off and (my ignorance here), just relays...

I got the AUD Priority Update on a 2023 Lightning ER, and it didn't break anything about my truck, AFAIK. PAAK still works fine for me. I decided to give iOS 18 Beta a fling last night. I signed up for an Apple Developer account to get the latest and the greatest, ignorantly hoping to get...

LOL! ? That was my suspicion last night when I noticed my Ford account dashboard level was at 50%, the level at which I keep my HVB since I don't drive much, and I'm keeping my LVB at 70% to 80% with a Noco Genius2. But I wasn't sure how often the ford.com number is being updated these days...

There are already quite a few threads and opinions on this topic on the forum. And you don't list a Ford Lightning as a vehicle you own. Are you getting ready to take the plunge, so to speak? ?
