I never noticed my truck behaving differently, but it could have been an update that changed the Accessory Mode charging behavior.
Here’s with the truck on:
And here’s in accessory mode:
I was able to enable it on my 24 Flash. Not sure if it’s doing anything though - the global settings didn’t do anything on my saved home location, and the saved global settings revert back to what your screen is showing the next time the truck is started.
My neighbor lost his F150 when the dealer tech programmed another key to his truck and stole it the night after it was serviced. It was recovered after a high speed chase and crash - the dealer techs girlfriend was driving it.
On my trucks I’ve filled all 4 slots with programmed fobs. When I...
I have two iPhones, business and personal. I'm thinking about converting one to Android. Are there Androids that work better than the rest for Android Auto in the Lightning? Any to avoid?
I'd be converting the personal phone, so no need for business related work on it. It would be for...
Some possible causes:
12v is going bad
Truck is being awakened by the key fob and/or FordPass frequently. Every event results in the modules draining the battery. (I keep my fobs in a faraday pouch to prevent this.)
It’s possible that an over-the-air update is draining the battery during...
Thanks. I did clear all user data.
I’m planning to try again this evening.
Update - It took a couple of tries to download the application for the CMR, but it eventually worked. The FHCM update was very quick and easy.
Interesting - thank you for the insight.
I tried to install the CMR and FHCM updates today, but didn't get very far. I updated FDRS to 44.4.4 and it seems to be working fine. When I got to the step to download the update, the indicator for connection to Ford would turn from green to red...
I could easily be mistaken, but I thought the Frunk update that has been active lately was for 2022 trucks. Maybe it covers 2024 trucks too.
The CMR update seems unusual to me, because it appeared on a Sunday. It wasn't there on Saturday. My last CMR update occurred on the same day I updated...
That is my 24 Flash with the SORB tusks. Ford Service Info shows my build date as 1/3/2024 with a release date of 7/30/2024. I purchased it 11/30/2024.
My OBD scanner is reporting a HV battery age of 9.5 months, which would line up with 7/30/2024. I wonder if the truck was built, but sat...
On my extended vacation in January I found that departure times didn’t have that limit. The truck sat for 18 days plugged in and it probably woke up for at least a half dozen departure events.
I also found that the charge from a 20 minute warming session resulted in a net loss in LVB charge...
