I've loved my lightning and at end of November convinced my nephew to trade in his ICE truck for a lightning. Not sure where I'll go from here though I plan to hang on to my lightning and get as many miles on it as possible. I traded in my Model X for a Kia EV9 last year and while the Kia is a...

This is why the forum is valuable - gave the headlight switch some serious twists & autodimmer is working again & no more chimes when the door is open! Thank you B177y!

On my way to give it a try…

I've developed two changes suddenly: I now get chimes whenever driver's door is open, even when not turned on. I've lost auto dimming despite having the "switch" turned on. These seemed to have occurred simultaneously and I'm not aware of any updates that were made. The chimes are irritating but...

Hey Chris - I always get a chuckle seeing your icon!! Thanks for responding.

So very appreciative of all the replies. Absolutely no rush to get the windshield replaced & just maybe that will be a repair that won't get made. There is no shame in riding around with a crack in the windshield!!

I took a rock to my windshield which has progressed to dual tracks around 6" long. I contacted my insurance company (Progressive) & it was only then that I became aware that for replacement windshield, I have to pay my $1,000 deductible. Safelite is the preferred provider but I've cancelled the...

I live in the triangle & consulted the LineX people in Raleigh but ended up going with a WeatherTech bedliner. It fit perfect and was considerably less expensive. It's been on my '22 lightning for about 30 months now and I've been very pleased!!

I had to replace part # 7 in your diagram after hitting a deer. I found a YouTube video on removing the bumper which is what now must do in order to access parts 7 or 8. I wasn’t able to find the link to the video when posting this.

When I owned both a lightning & a model x, the lightning became my daily driver. It’s a very competent machine, plenty of interior space & very secure footing. The model x had a number of eccentricities that detracted from its engineering - best example is convincing the falcon wing doors to...

remove it dear liza, dear liza! It's nicely designed that it covers the button to lower the shifter and one has to remove the cubby to access the button!

Yes - holds quarters for the WV turnpike!

Thanks for posting this. It was a dynamic presentation and very informative. The main speaker voices caution about the success of Ford & Chevy in the inevitable EV world!

Having participated in several vehicle forums, there seems to be a bias towards posting negative comments. I love the lightning ('22 Lariat model that was a demo model that I bought last year) and find it smooth, fast and reliable as my daily driver (42 miles r/t to work). I leave my 2020 Tesla...

I hit a small deer which busted the shutter assembly and with a $1000 deductible, decided to replace myself. Though I made the repair more complicated than it needed, it basically involves the primary step needed to replace the air dam - removing the front bumper assembly; you cannot access the...

Thanks for everyone's help. It was easy to find the part that I need once informed that it is a "shutter" assembly and not referred to as "baffles". Now just need to learn how to remove the front bumper without injury to all the various components that are contained in the front bumper area.

The bad news is that I hit a deer though I guess the good news is that it was a youthful 2-point buck. I've decided to do the repair myself ($1,000 deductible insurance). There are four baffles that open & close leading to the radiator. The baffles were dislodged but intact but the plastic...

I'm presuming that I'm up to date on software updates - I've got automatic updates turned on. My '22 truck was a demo model with a manufacturing date of April 2022; it had only 600 miles on it when purchased in Nov 2023. Maybe this very early lightning model wasn't equipped with ability for dash...

I previously posted that I always drive in sport mode though on my '22 Lariat edition, I find no change in the screen color. No changes except for the "S" that shows up on the screen. I do wish that I could make sport mode the default & this is the first time I've read EPA testing mandated that...

...from a previous post of mine - Purpose of the bottom cover of the CCS1 receiver The Ford Charge Station Pro utilizes a CCS1 Charge Cord connector but the bottom part of the receiver on the truck has a separate cover. as pictured below. My routine in the morning is to be carrying my briefcase...
