So is the deal that some cars have a hw problem, or that the have a set problem they need to fix? I guess my question is whether there is a sync sw problem that they need to work out, or that ford is permanently ending software updates.

I had this issue. The dealer did not believe me initially (but then again, I knew more about the ‘24 heating system than they did). I insisted the keep searching. Eventually they replaced the blower motor and all is well now. I have a thread about the experience on this forum. I will say...

I asked because when I bought my Marie a year and a half ago, the only way to get the 10 K off of the car was to get the AutoNation extended warranty. However, those people are gone from the dealer, and if I am able to get a refund for the AutoNation warranty and get the Ford warranty. That...

Anyone have experience with auto nation extended warranty?

So are these new updates, or just a way for people to get all the updates that us with FDRS already have?

From 10 o’clock to two o’clock are the warmest, but the wheel is so big that most people, including me hold it at 9 and 3. There is a way to change the target temp with FORScan. There is a recent discussion on this.

OP Update: After initially resisting, the dealer looked at the blower motor DTC and replaced the blower motor. They also apologized for being snarky with me about the heater having related coolant, and about there being both a heat pump and resistive heater…..because……it turns out I was...

As a follow up, I went to a different dealer and sat in a 2024 lightning. Cold start. Started to feel heat in a minute. Warmth after 3 minutes and just fine (albeit not as toasty as the Mach-e) at 10 minutes. I recorded the entire experience. Fan sounded much different. I am confident...

Hi. I did as a follow-up to our existing DM thread but they haven’t responded in a few days, hence my public ping :)

@Ford Motor Company - you asked me via PM to work with a dealer first, which I have done. Can you help now?

Awesome. I am a bit surprised the service technicians didn’t know that.

@TaxmanHog - Thanks for your detailed answer on the other thread. It does blow air on max. I need to get the truck back to test that more as well as turning off auto. I am going to check out some other ‘24s this afternoon. it’s just so weird because the heating experience has been awesome...

Thanks. Will look into the device. The tested the heat at the exit point vent and it is how. Seems the heater can produce heat but does not warm the cabin.

I have.

To focus on the questions I asked here….see above

So does the ‘24 have both a heat pump and resistive heater? Also, what is the connection between the heating system and coolant since a number of incidents were resolved by flushing the coolant? thanks!

Yep. No issues in the rental lightnings I get when traveling, and headed to a different dealer tomorrow to try a few on the lot since I am friendly with the sales people there.

Hi. I am working with my dealer to try and resolve the issue with my 24 lightning’s heat. If I precondition the car it’s warm but after about 15 minutes cools off. I’m unable to maintain a reasonable constant temperature for any length of time. It often feels like cold air is blowing. Sometimes...

The problem persists. And it is intermittent. I dropped it off at the dealer yesterday, and the first response from the first tech was a bit of a flip off. Simply telling me they turned it on and it blew warm air (yet the service advisor had experienced the cold air when I dropped it off after...

Update: I have a ford appointment soon, but I think I have figured out that is is mechanical. Either blower or flap to direct air. If the heat is on Driver Focused, I get cold. If the heat is not on Driver- Focused, the cabin warms slowly, but I only feel/hear the air from the passenger side.
