Just a note after working through this tread and getting my Intelligent Backup Power to actually work after over a year since commissioning! So this is what I did following suggestions in this thread. It was a bit of a mystery since it has been so long since it worked last after being...
Had my truck just over a year now and that setup has always been a challenge! Here are a few thoughts that have eventually helped me to get them connected:
1. Try to make sure the SW Version is the lasted before trying anything. My FCSP has been updated 3 or 4 times in the last year with my...
I would take them in a minute if I could pick them up from Dallas. I paid the dealer $1700 for a single tire and wheel this summer after a road hazard event damaged the originals…. Just remember that the supplied truck jack cannot lift a rear tire for fitting the spare!!!
Had this happen to me last week at EA in Royce City, Tx. I Charged using Plug & Pay for about 10 minutes at max 133kw and was charged for 91kWh (they took it from my Ford allotment). At max, it should have been just under 13 kWh! First time I ever used EA—very bad experience. Doubt I’ll ever...
I’m in this with you guys! My IBP has worked 10 minutes over the last 3 months — since Sunrun installed it. It’s a mess. Retired 40 yr engineer here (20 in realtime sw). I’ve not seen such a small system work so poorly.
I saw some recommendations for the FMC height but I think they were aiming to keep it off the floor. No height requirements that I know of for the FCSP. Sounds like your plan is solid. I think a key thing is to keep the cord uncoiled so that any heat generated by it (due to the current...
I used the FordPass app to get the charge rate of the chargers with these rate results:
Ford Mobile Charger (FMC)
@ 120vac - 1 kw (plugged into a 15 amp wall socket)
@ 240vac - 6 kw (plugged into NMEA 14-50 "RV" socket with 50 amp breaker)
Ford Charge Station Pro (FCSP)
@ 240vac - 16 kw...
Had my first flat ( right rear tire ) due to object on road yesterday. There’s no way that Ford Jack would lift that tire to put on the spare. Called Roadside assistance and about 45 minutes later a service wrecker pulled up with a 2 ton hydraulic floor Jack, lifted the wheel and put on the...
My month old Lightning is finally up and running with Intelligent Power Backup. It took weeks to get the Ford pro charger paired with the truck and iPhone FordPass app. It is a very flawed process, the charger’s WiFi is incredibly flakey. Then it took nearly a full day to get the truck to...
