  1. How does cabin heating work?

    What year truck? (Hint: add the year to your profile). My driver focused stays off even when it's only me. I turned that switch off a while ago and it hasn't turned itself back on since. The AC button on the other hand...
  2. How does cabin heating work?

    Do you not have a button to turn off driver focused in your climate screen? I'm pretty sure it's stock, no ForScan needed.
  3. How does cabin heating work?

    Make sure the "driver focused" button is off on the climate screen. That keeps climate on for the entire cabin even through restart cycles.
  4. How does cabin heating work?

    This is where setting a departure time or remote starting climate though the app pays off. Pre-heat (or pre cool) the cabin while plugged in so the initial heat or cooling is done with home power, not battery power. Once the cabin is at a comfortable temperature the heat pump sips power. The...
  5. Failed J2534 connection attempt when trying to use FDRS-post-9 Fixed

    I used my Mongoose with 45.6.8 a couple of weeks ago without issues, so I can say it's not a new FDRS version thing. Your error window says "wireless dongle status", which seems weird since it USB. Maybe play around with that. Check that the cable is connected well and screwed in tight on the...
  6. Failed J2534 connection attempt when trying to use FDRS-post-9 Fixed

    I would start with downloading the Mongoose driver and installing it again to see if that does anything. Anti virus and other "protections" turned off? Reboot? See if it communicates with the Mach-e? Start with the easy stuff.
  7. 2022 Lariat Heat Pump Conversion/Install

    My thoughts: - Is it possible? Yes, with enough time, money, and resources anything is possible. Likely would require taking the entire truck apart and rebuilding it. - You would NEVER recoup the cost of doing this. There's not enough gain in efficiency to ever offset the cost. In all...
  8. How does cabin heating work?

    In my '24 Pro with a heat pump, the AC toggles itself on and off constantly while in Auto mode. As soon as I think to myself, "Hmmm, there's some fog starting on the windows", it seems to turn itself on and the fog automagically goes away. If you get consistent fogging in Auto, I would suggest...
  9. How does cabin heating work?

    Need some clarification on your original question. How long is the trip where you are experiencing the HVAC issues that you describe? For me, the best HVAC performance is if I pre-condition the cabin while plugged in or on battery. The heat pump seems to work best after 15-20 minutes whether...
  10. Windy road trip 40MPH Headwinds

    Tailwind only happens in a lab, it doesn't exist in nature.
  11. Lightning won't charge

    When my charge port had to be replaced in my Mach-e, it was covered. Even though I was still in my 3-year 36000 bumper to bumper, I was also told that it's covered under the 8-year 100,000 mi battery and charging warranty. If you are under 100,000 mi, I would push back and try and have them...
  12. How does the lower front air dam work?

    If anyone is able to mount a GoPro style camera to the front of their truck, I'd love to see what this air dam looks like while it extends and retracts while driving. I can't imagine that such a fragile and exposed piece of equipment makes a noticeable enough difference to be worth the hassle...
  13. Windy road trip 40MPH Headwinds

    Murphy's Law... There is no such thing as a tail wind. Headwind, uphill, cold, both directions, always.
  14. Lightning won't charge

    I had this happen to my old Mach-e while I was on vacation. It stopped charging at the hotel or DCFC. The local dealer where I was staying had it for 12 weeks waiting for a new charge port as there were no parts available at the time. Just before it was going to be lemon lawed, they replaced the...
  15. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    Just to close the loop on this PCM thing, I checked FDRS today to see if the PCM cleared and to see if anything else magically popped up that needed to be updated before my two-day subscription ended. The PCM has cleared and no more updates available 👍🎉
  16. First Time EV Owner - New Emporia Classic at 48A. Is this too hot?

    ^^ This is the most concerning part of your post to me. The electrical contractor had to be "convinced" to use the proper wiring? This contractor was part of the Ford Power Promise deal? As for your temperature, that's completely normal. I have a 60 amp breaker feeding a 48 amp hardwired...
  17. Help

    Not many details here, but if I'm following you correctly, you want to power your trailer from your Lightning. If you want 40 amps, you will need to come up with with a different solution. If you have the 9.6 KW option for power in your bed, you only have 30 amps available at 240 volt.
  18. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    I just hate not being able to complete an update after spending $120. Oh well... Thank you for the help!
  19. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    Thanks Jesse! I had some PCM DTCs when @Mike G ran my VIN: C0604 C0630 P161C U0111 The update shows as still available (green "run"). You are saying to just ignore the update?
  20. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    Re: above post... Tried a PMI on the PCM and chose "no" for original module. It still fails. Hoping there's secret nugget of info that I'm missing.
