Context- I love my f150 lightening....my comments are not specific to it they are to all the autos in general.
I am going answer the question with a question.
Do you think it is ok for vehicle companies to design their vehicles (intentional or unintentional) to require what nets to a visit to...
At the point of trying to run my ac off of the brand new OEM ford part. I had to have the dealer put the sw on that new AC controller. (bear in mind this is a 2023 lightning xlt that has the same controller and screen as the normal lariet/XLT F150's from that same year.) This is not something...
When I buy a vehicle my expectations are that all the sw required to run that vechile is a part of that vehicle. I am not leasing the sw. I own the hw and the sw that it takes to run that vehicle. When I replace the hw (on my 2023 xlt it was the controller for the hvac). I expect the sw to...
Hi all, the time has come where I need to change my brake pads. I wanted to see if anyone else had experience yet with the brake maintenance mode and make sure I am taking the right steps to put it into maintenance mode and take it out of maintenance mode. I think it is pretty standard for any...
I have the truck back…runs great. Ford replaced the hvc controller for free under the motor train warranty. It is a 2800.00 repair. They have took the hvc as a “core”. Ford stood by their product and the dealer was great to work with
it is an ER. it is a 2023 ER XLT with the screen that looks like a normal F150. It is the reason I had originally chose that model is I did not want the vertially long screen.
yes, I ran into this exact issue on our mach e when we had it. it is the first Lightning this dealer has seen with...
winner winner chicken dinner....it is the HVC controller....It is covered under the 8 year 100K mile warranty....I am doing the happy dance.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and inputs...
I love my lightning...
thanks this is helpful. Were you getting a message that said "stop safely now" on the console too? My truck won't even fully start, it goes into accessory mode.
It is at the dealership. There is a service rep there I really trust. He thinks it is likely part of 10 year 100k warranty. We shall see. Also for Clarity I have owed a number of fords and this lightning is my favorite. I have never had any issues with it until now. I will post when I have...
There is no change…thanks for askinf
all I really do appreciate everyone’s input
If I plug the charging cable in it tries to start charging...the blue lights go on and it looks normal. than within in ten seconds all the lights at the charge port go red and start blinking...
thanks Gentlemen....any sense of what could be wrong? I am guessing either batteries or one of the modules regulating power (I dont' know all their specific names.)
yes that is a picture of the type of display I was hoping to show....I can say that it NEVER went int service vehicle soon....it went from working really well with no issues or warnings to just dead stopped...."stop safely now" mode.
yes, I can't get it to break out of this mode....If anyone has any suggests on how to get it into better normal display I can take it thru those suggested steps
thank you for asking I will take a photo. the left guage power thing doesnt come up at all. what comes up on the guage is the a road with the image of the f150 and it just says 56% and 158 miles.
thanks for reply, I am hoping it is a bad cell as that is covered still, I am going to use my friends more advanced scanner on monday and see what it shows...
Hi All, Before I describe my problem, please note I have done searches and I am not finding the information that is giving me 80% confidence on what the issue is.
My lightning is at the house right now. It was running fine with zero issues yesterday.
Here are the details
