I thought "Engineer" was the ultimate cuss word Technicians used for us. 😂

It is likely RF interference of some origin. I will try a different parking spot next time. FOB battery is good. I sometimes have the same issue as you with capacitive touch screens. Slightly licking my finger usually gets it to work. I received the same message when checking for recalls.

It will be interesting to see how Ford sets up access to these chargers. Currently, it is difficult to find even one parking spot at my dealership, including the service department. The photos in the attached article show the chargers located near the front of the dealership. The idea of the...

Good ideas. There are no visible antennas nearby, and it is not near an airport or broadcaster. I park away from the building under a large oak tree. Maybe an underground power feed to the building?

Eerily similar to the 1979 American Airlines Flight 191 crash of a DC-10 taking off from O'Hare in Chicago. The left engine separated from the wing and resulted in 273 fatalities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_191

I have experienced several UTA's ... Unexplained Truck Activities of unusual things that happen with my truck with no apparent logic associated with them. Shortly after delivery, I experienced the extremely loud audio system runaway event. Thankfully, that has not recurred. @Ford Motor Company...

Apologies in advance if this is already posted ... I had to reset my FCSP due to a new Wi-Fi network. (Note: You have to be able to connect to the "old" Wi-Fi network to update to a new Wi-Fi network. Else, you have to use the red reset button inside the FCSP inner cover.) It took 2 full...

I suggest the better conjunction (I had to look that word up because I have not used it since high school :facepalm:) is "and" versus "or" ... as in "Ford is likely to manufacture the new smaller EV platform truck and the larger F-150 EV platform truck."

I don't have HIS, but I completely agree that this issue is a huge hit to @Ford Motor Company credibility. And leaving the trusting customers in the dark on what plans, if any, there are to fix it just doubles down on the credibility loss. If there are no firm plans to remedy the issues, Ford...

100 HP from the flathead V-8?

I agree. I have a 50 amp breaker and initially set the charger at 40 amps. The breaker would operate at about 125 F. I stepped down to 32 amps and the breaker now operates under 100 F. I believe in charging slowly if faster charging is not required to keep up with driving needs.

I have also noticed inconsistency even within the FordPass app. The data shown in the FP screen under the "Energy" tab at the bottom of the FP screen upon completion of charging is sometimes significantly different from what is shown under the FP Energy > Advanced > Charge History screen upon...

I, too, am glad you are here, Brian. You represent @Ford Motor Company to us moreso than the CEO. So, I hope the internal Ford people you are sharing our input with are paying appropriate attention to you. Being an Engineer, I am obviously interested in the nerdy technical stuff. For example, I...

Regarding #3 ... I get Rear Occupant Alerts when I exit the truck and have something laying on the rear seat.

Regarding the "Don't Forget TPMS" label ... I assume there is a reason for that? 😂 A few weeks ago I spent 15 minutes untwisting, straightening and fitting Ethernet wires into an RJ45 connector, crimped it ... and noticed the strain relief boot laying on the floor.

Here is some more information on the 1953-56 F-100 Hood Emblem. I made a hitch cover out of mine. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/lightning-themed-trailer-hitch-covers.14200/

Glad you caught that. Mice use balsamic for dressing on their wire insulation. 😂

I recommend that everyone with a repeated lightbar failure report it to NHTSA as a safety issue. It is obvious the problem has not been corrected as part of the first recall. A new recall needs to be issued, or the original recall extended until the problem is fixed. NHTSA Recall link...

The article implies that Ford will continue to make the F-150 Lightning and use the NMC battery. The new midsize electric truck on the Universal EV Platform will use the new Lithium Iron Phosphate battery.
