You can do it now without forescan, but it will only roll down the front windows, hit unlock twice and hold it down on the 2nd push. Lock twice to put them back up.
I keep reading the threads here about folks getting complimentary Tesla adapters with your trucks and also people receiving them after long backorders. I have been logged in to my Ford Pass account and tried to look up the adapter by part number and keyword and it is like they don't exist? I...
Just match it up the best you can at a good hardware store (not Home Depot or Lowes) that sells individual screw sets. It is very coarse thread. It took a bit of looking but I finally found a pretty close match.
I just replaced mine with a #14 Spanner Set "Snake Eyes" set. None of the security bit sets go up to #14. They all seem to stop at #10.
I kindof want to get a rear facing drive/security camera just so I can see and hear them when they find these.
I have a 2024 Flash with a power tailgate only. It will not operate without the fob or the button in the truck. but I do not have the new flange that ford came up with. I am just wondering how difficult it is to get the tailgate to drop on a power only gate?
My 2024 does not seem to have this mod. I will look into the security plates and security screws. Maybe mix-n-match the security screws to make it even more of a pain to remove.
In the video I posted, the owner showed how they actually took the plates off the inside of the tailgate to trigger the tailgate to drop. Do you know if this is possible to do on a Lightning as well? Mine is power only and has no manual latch.
I just leased one a few weeks ago after my trusty 2006 Dakota finally gave it up at 246k. I have read that all EV's depreciate quickly and have poor resale value (not just the Lightning). I decided to lease instead of purchase because alternate power technology for vehicles is changing very...
I am still waiting for my electrician to show up and install my home charger, so I am using public fast chargers until then. Yes, there isn't much savings using public, plus there is a lot of aggravation trying to get a charging spot open. Turns out, a lot of apartment dwellers have been...
Thank you. I am aware of the Faraday bags and will use this method if there is no way to disable my fob's ability to automatically reply to the RF field put out by the truck. Again, I was hoping for a button pressing sequence or something similar that would disable the fob unless physically...
Agreed. I am in an urban city that has an active theft ring using highly sophisticated RF amplifiers to steal vehicles...usually to commit other crimes.
Thank you for your suggestion. I was hoping for something as simple as disabling the fob rather than any capability of the truck itself (like Toyota offers). I do not want to pull a fuse every night LOL.
Thank you for your feedback! Steal list? What is that? In my search for the answers to my question, I did come across several posts of people that had their Lightning stolen...and the assumed (but not proven) method was the scenario described in my post.
Although I am not experienced with the...
