  1. Ford: Please re-map the duplicative Max Defrost screen button to another function

    I was under the impression that the backseat was always conditioned or, said another way, "driver focused" just turns off the front seat passenger HVAC. My reasoning for this belief is there is no third climate zone that can be adjusted, which means the back seat must be adjusted by either the...
  2. Lingering issues

    Yes. Has it been hit? I once had a car with four tires that refused to hold air over long periods of time. In my case it was wheel corrosion due to '90s GM quality. The solution was to essentially glue the bead on the wheel, though I'm not sure what this process is called or what product the...
  3. Umpteenth undercoat thread

    Personally, I'm not concerned about structural rust... however I also wash my truck regularly so salt and road grime aren't around long. Undercoating definitely works. I used to have an F150 that the previous owner had undercoated regularly; it didn't even have surface rust...it had black stuff...
  4. 2025 IIHS Moderate overlap front: updated test

    But you are aware that other people exist, right? The breakdown of scores doesn't look "much better" to those of us whose children ride in the backseat.
  5. Debate regarding braking, regen, and brake light illumination.

    Everyone else would be confused if the term "negative acceleration" was used.
  6. Phone As A Key VERY Unreliable!

    I would stop carrying my wallet if I didn't need my ID occasionally. Seven pockets full of stuff is the kind of thing that keeps me up at night.😳
  7. Debate regarding braking, regen, and brake light illumination.

    I wrote this in post #7. It's still true. I'll even go out on a limb and say Lightning brake lights come on at a deceleration rate of 1.3m/s2 or brake pedal application since they sell EVs in Europe and it would be an enormous waste of money to develop two standards.
  8. 2025 IIHS Moderate overlap front: updated test

    I'll explain that to my kids.
  9. Umpteenth undercoat thread

    What problem does undercoating solve? Surface rust on the frame is a cosmetic issue. In my opinion, black oil on the frame is also a cosmetic issue. I guess if you really hate the sight of rust when you get down on your hands and knees it's worth doing. I'll use my appearance budget for...
  10. Phone As A Key VERY Unreliable!

    PaaK works great for me with a Samsung S24. The same phone is intermittent with my wife's Navigator. Her S21 works so poorly that she doesn't use it. What phone are you using?
  11. I now have onboards scales. NOT!!!🤫

    Well then, I suggest you study up and get some Forscan into your life.
  12. I now have onboards scales. NOT!!!🤫

    Have you been dabbling in the dark arts of Forscan?
  13. Debate regarding braking, regen, and brake light illumination.

    This thread should be closed. Anyone capable of critical thought can figure out how the brake lights work in a Lightning based on this thread. There's some misinformation, but the source is pretty obvious.
  14. Qmerit install - $338 for "Permitting"

    Your installer asked me to send you the photos.
  15. Debate regarding braking, regen, and brake light illumination.

    There's nothing to be confused about. The brake pedal always slows the vehicle down. Who cares why the brake pedal slows the vehicle down? Letting off the accelerator pedal always* slows the vehicle down. The only difference between one pedal mode and two pedal mode is the rate at which the...
  16. Debate regarding braking, regen, and brake light illumination.

  17. Debate regarding braking, regen, and brake light illumination.

    The brake lights come on at a certain deceleration rate (1.3m/s2 in EU, manufacturer choice in US) or brake pedal application. If you aren't pressing the brake pedal there isn't a reliable way to determine if friction brakes are in use.
  18. Air conditioning wants to be on all the time

    ☝️This is the answer. Unless you have some reason other than your comfort level just leave it in auto and adjust the temperature up or down depending on how you feel.
  19. F-150 Lightning Sales Total 3,217 in August 2025

    Lightning nearly sold as many units as Mustang. That's not great for the future of Mustang. Farley will certainly keep it around but how long will he be around?
  20. Truck accelerated from stop and rear ended car in front.

    The most likely scenario is that you hit the accelerator pedal with your foot. This is especially likely if you were reaching for something while you were stopped. I did this once in my old ICE F150 while reaching back to assist a child in the back seat. Thankfully I'd put it in park but it hit...
