2012 f150 ecoboost
This passed weekend I lost electricity, so after 30 minutes. I decided to plug up my 2021 f150 powerboost, with two 14/2 wire, that are connected to two 15 amp breakers. I turn off the main breaker then plugged both extension in the box of the truck. Then it directed the extension, and asked to send current to the outlets. Then i get a Ground Fault error, I reset it many times, pressed the breakers. Still nothing, please help? Thank you

You would have to make sure each plug is in a separate circuit. I would try just using one plug first

If you have 200 amp service you will have two 100 amp legs. You will have to find an outlet from each leg. One way to find it is plug One extension cord in. Figure out which outlets are working and which ones don’t. And then pick one that is not working and plug in your second extension cord.

It's hard to tell exactly from your post, but I'm guessing the problem is with the bonded neutral in the panel. You need a transfer switch to disconnect the neutral to avoid your issue, and it's been covered extensively in the Powerboost engine forum.
