How can I keep Climate control on overnight?

[strahanjen]

Hi,

I was camping with my daughter over the weekend and slept in the truck due to thunderstorms. I left the truck on, turned off the power down timer, made sure that pro power was turned on, and then turned off the headlights and switched the screen to calm mode. The truck kept turning off every hour or so. I’d wake up hot and then have to turn the truck on again. There was one stretch where the truck stayed on for a few hours until I woke up, but I don’t think I did anything differently that time. Is there something else I need to do to keep the truck and AC on overnight? 2024 Flash.

I feel like there's something wrong if the truck is shutting off even with the shutdown timer disabled. It should stay on indefinitely (until the battery depletes to the set limit). At least it does for me. You could check that the limit under Pro Power settings is something really low. Annoyingly it is in range (miles/km), not battery percent, so it's possible the problem is with the truck estimating remaining range incorrectly? I don't know. Good luck getting a dealer to diagnose an intermittent issue like that.

made sure that pro power was turned on,

Why would you need PPOB turned on if you're sleeping in the truck?

Agree with @potato to check the reserve battery setting to a lower value, but again there is no need for pro power to be on unless you are using the cabin AC outlets, then only need the cabin inverter to be on.

Can confirm, I have slept in my truck because I was too lazy to set up a tent for one night. Turned off the shutdown timer and threw a towel over the screens, AC stayed on all night for me.

Not sure it would make a difference but I have a 24 Lariat
