Have you tried using the buttons by the lighting controls? These don't cover all the zones, but they work really well for what I need. The lower button turns on the running board lights and the bed lights, and the upper 2 buttons control the spot lights on the side view mirrors.

Nicely done.

Sounds like the issue in extreme cold is that Ford prioritizes keeping the battery pack warm at the expense of cabin warmth. If possible, you should precondition the battery before leaving by plugging it in and setting a departure time. That will bring up the battery temp using "shore power"...

Actual release notes in a Ford software rollout. Finally!

@mattskr - That CSP is still showing in FordPass for me. @Maxx - My most recent update prior to this one was 6.8.0 about a week or two ago.

I also got this update pushed OTA to my truck this morning.

Nice! Glad to hear Ford has it working well on the Mach-E. The Rivian implementation has soured me a bit on it, but willing to give it a try if Ford rolls it out for our Lightnings. Just hope we get to keep the current lock/unlock method as a backup.

Ok, I'll be the odd one out... I actually prefer the Lightning's current implementation of locking and unlocking. I'd be happy to have walk away locking added, but would probably choose to keep the current setting. Our Rivian has walk away lock and it's a pain in the butt. It's slow to unlock -...

I love that they're deploying covered canopies for EV charging. It's definitely appreciated when there's a blazing sun overhead on a hot day or when there's a heavy downpour. But I'm little bit disappointed with the sheer number and placement of the bollards. I've seen so many people ding their...

OP, as @TaxmanHog mentioned I think you'll get better results once you are able to use a Level 2 EVSE to precondition. It'll make a big difference in getting the battery warmed up prior to a long drive. That Level 1 charger is going to struggle to put any real heat into the battery pack in cold...

@GDN, thank you! You explained it really well. Now I have a better understanding of the quirks behind Ford's software update process. Ford really needs to prioritize following good standards for software development (and UX/UI design) if they want to compete with Tesla and Rivian.

I think I found out what this update does. - My PAAK stopped working. - User profiles were turned off, so it defaulted to having One Pedal drive OFF - I was surprised by the truck moving when I let off the brake. Nice work!

I applied it this evening. As usual, Ford doesn't provide proper release notes that list all the changes made. So no idea what this does.

Entertaining and informative write up! Thank you.

@TaxmanHog thanks for all the detailed tests! This is fantastic info to help us get optimal results during winter driving.

That does suck, sorry it happened to you. Hopefully that gets fixed quickly. I really wish Ford would make use of all the cameras on the Lightning and give us a Dash Cam and Sentry feature like Tesla and Rivian do.

Bummer. That does seem pretty bricked. Sounds like you've already checked all the fuses and relays. Only other thing that comes to mind is to hook up an OBD reader and see if you can pull any error codes to show what might be going on.

Did you try "starting" the truck thru the FordPass app? Maybe that would wake it up out of whatever state it's in.

If you're thinking Conserve Mode, I haven't tried it when towing. Would guess that it might have some impact on the sway control since you've essentially disengaged the rear motors. I just got the Halloween update and they changed the drive mode options - now you can be in towing mode in some...

@vandy1981 , looking forward to hearing how it goes with the R1S. I think you're going to enjoy the Rivian given that you're looking for something slightly smaller. The Rivian drives like a smaller vehicle than it is - the Lightning definitely drives like a big truck. But it all depends on...
