Still waiting. Apparently they found one via another dealership somewhere, and it's now being overnighted.
Just a heads up if anyone else runs into this problem... there seems to be a real issue with parts availability through official Ford channels.
Still waiting on the part from the dealership. Back ordered until 6/6 at least...
What's frustrating is that it's easily available via 3rd party sites. I guess I didn't realize this, but dealers have to use some internal Ford website to source their parts.
Talked with Ford today and confirmed that valves are not included in either the powertrain warrany or the battery warranty. To reiterate:
> gears, differential, shafts, fluid pumps, seals and gaskets, bearings, mounts, drive shaft, retainers, supports, universal and constant velocity joints...
Yes, I think you're right. At the time it did seem interesting that they:
1. Could not get the part, because it's specific to EVs and not readily in stock
2. Couldn't get the the warranty to cover it, because it's a generic part
I would be interested in replacing it on my own, but I'm not at...
You were right-- The part that needs replacing is HV Battery Radiator Coolant Diverter Valve.
The crappy thing is that it's back ordered, ETA early June. I asked the tech if I can continue driving the truck around town which he said should be fine. I do have the Max Tow package so I wonder if...
Couldn't help but notice that you are running into potential HVJB issues at 41k mileage. My symptoms are a little different, but I'm wondering if our trucks share a same faulty part...
HVBJB seems like a good bet. I'm keeping an eye on the battery voltage and it seems to be hovering around 12. So... that's something.
I got an appointment with the dealership on Monday, will post back with what I learn.
It happens when the truck is off. I noticed it immediately after opening the driver's side door.
Charging via my Level 2 home charger also seems to trigger it.
2023 Pro SR with 41000 miles. Everything's been perfect until today, when I noticed the following symptoms:
1. A wrench icon, with a "Powertrain malfunction / Reduced power" error message on the dash
2. Repetitive clicking emanating from the 12v battery compartment (see video)
3. Low voltage...
Someone over on reddit pointed out that I'm probably maxing out my battery discharge rate. Pretty sure that's what's going on. 51V * 50A discharge rate equals just about 2.55kW, or just over 11 amps at 240V.
The solution here is just to add another identical battery in parallel. Will report...
Cool setup. That's pretty much the ideal, I think. Mine is a little more jerry rigged right now, but I hope to move towards something more like you have.
As I'm looking closer, it doesn't look like it's a voltage sag issue, but that may just be hard to read from the EVSE screen. I took a...
I was able to test my charger with a grid-powered outlet. Works fine. Pretty sure the problem lies with my inverter. Something is causing the voltage to drop, which pushes the current back up, triggering the fault in the charger.
@Green1 , what kind of charger do you use? I like the idea of...
I just put up a 4kW off-grid solar array that I'd like to use to charge my Lightning. I have an adjustable 240v mobile charger that allows me to go from 10A to 32A in one-amp increments.
However, the Lightning seems to want to always pull more than the charger allows, tripping an overcurrent...
I was going to try 3d printing translucent covers for my headlight surrounds and taillights.
Vinyl tint doesn't work particularly well, and I don't want to spray tint them, so this was my next best idea.
