  1. Need help trying to figure out how I can use my Lightning off grid.

    Works off 110 as well, just rewire the plug. Only pulls 1/2 the load at 110. And adjustable downward as well. But at 110, should get the cheaper charger https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-48v-1200w-ip65-charger/
  2. Need help trying to figure out how I can use my Lightning off grid.

    This is your simplest solution. https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-chargeverter-battery-charger-48v-100a-5120w-output-240/120v-input Just plug it into the bed, wire the other end to your battery rack. Use the batteries as a buffer to keep house load from tripping the Truck CB.
  3. Power Gauge Below 100

    I had this happen as well multiple times in November. I took it in to the dealer and after they applied the High Voltage contactor recall firmware update, it stopped. Might be a coincidence, might not. Ford Service installed a monitoring token and called me to take it in this week again...
  4. Reduced power with no Fault code

    Absolutely. Repeats once or twice a week; every time after charging. No other time.
  5. Reduced power with no Fault code

    This has started happening to me on the first drive after L2 charging. If I power the whole truck down and wait until all screens go dark then power up it resets to 100%.
  6. Has wireless CarPlay reliability improved?

    CarPlay is still sketch on my 2022 Lightning. Usually the two finger reboot fixes it, but it takes forever to recognize the phone after doing that. Hit the CarPlay icon on the devices screen 3-4 times and it usually will connect.
  7. Austin owners

    YMMV but my order was produced first week of January 2023. After waiting 4 weeks to ship, I cancelled mine when I found a used one $8k cheaper.
  8. Lightning is a Better Road Tripper than our Rivian R1T

    The most annoying feature is the "ding dong ding dong dong dong dong dong" "look at the road" when you are driving with the sun behind you shining into the eye sensor. Wish there was a way to turn that off.
  9. OTA Downloading Issue

    I've gotten one OTA in 6 months of ownership. Took to first dealer and they wanted the truck for a week and a half. No thanks. Second dealer tried and failed "due to bad wifi". Bottom line, if you want any reliable updates at all, buy the Mongoose, and a FDRS license and do them yourself. I...
  10. Reactivate Your Account

    UPDATE: AT MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT MY ACCOUNT WAS REACTIVATED Did anyone else get the "Reactivate Your Account" Email this morning? Cannot log into ford.com anymore and FordPass will not refresh. The FordPass phone support people say its a known issue. She said people who own multiple Ford...
  11. Bonkers Fordpass charging and precon shenanigans

    I too have found that charging times are randomly not honored by the truck. I had left the truck plugged in from a prior charging session last night, and randomly the truck apparently began charging at 11pm and topped off until 3am this morning. I have time of use set on my whole home inverter...
  12. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    My PCSM is showing as needing an update too after successful updates. Other threads indicate it is just a bug, that everything is fine but it isn't refreshing the list. I also am getting the need to have the app open to unlock and start after the update. This happened occasionally prior to...
  13. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    My PCSM is still showing as needing update as well. It's a bug, I suppose.
  14. Using Lightning as a Generator

    @Bandit216 did an excellent job of showing (with pictures) a similar system to mine. When my house was built (after Winter Storm 2021), we had 50A generator inlets for each panel (which are separate 200a feeds from my 400a service meter, not a sub panel). I bought two generators and was happy...
  15. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    Sorry I wasn't clear--I couldn't get Bootcamp to install Windows 10 professional or Windows 11 to then install FDRS, so had to get a PC laptop.
  16. Ford Power-Up 4.1.3 Video streaming and new games

    Stil on Revision 539. Bought the Mongoose, ran all the updates in FDRS, still no new UI. "Your vehicle is up to date." No it isn't. Any other ideas?
  17. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    Any updates on the database issue? I used FDRS to update all my pending modules (PSCM is still showing as needing update after updating it twice), but still stuck on 4.1.1 and the old interface. My 2 day expires on Sunday. Was quite an adventure getting this set up. Had to buy a cheap...
  18. Incorporating a Lightning into an existing PV system - without HIS

    The Sol Ark *will* work with the Lightning on the Gen input so long as the Ground Pin is removed from the cable plug in from the truck.
  19. Wide voltage range mobile chargers-suggestions?

    That's apparently part of the problem, the transformer is less than 15-20 feet from the NEMA 14-50 plug, so very little voltage drop due to line loss. I would be interested in seeing any EVSEs which are designed to work with 250v if you can share.
  20. Wide voltage range mobile chargers-suggestions?

    I have a 120/240 mobile EVSE https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09D6P5MVM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which has served me well. It works on 120v outlets with an adapter, and on NEMA 14-50 outlets as well. I took it to our ranch today and it errored out with the message...
