Issues with climate control via the app

[itsjmod]

This just started and it’s pissing me off. I try to turn on climate controls and it just spins for a minute and then gives a warning symbol for a second.

It works sometimes but almost 95% of the time it doesn’t anymore.

I’ve deleted the app, reassigned my phone as a key, deleted my phone and readded.

Ford is so bad at software I swear to god. I love the new design in the app but what’s the point if it doesn’t work

Software across the board is literally the only thing I regret about this truck.

It's possible your 12v battery is low, and the system has shutdown non-essential modules (the modem needed for this communication) to maintain charge to be able to start the truck.

So it should tell me that then. I drive this thing daily including a couple hundred miles yesterday.

Why isn’t it communicating this stuff to me?

But thank you for a possible explanation, I’ll get it checked out.

I wish I could answer that for you. I'm seeing the same lately, with the colder temps, when I skip a day of driving my truck.

I agree with your theory. My 12 volt battery is approaching 3 years and I've been getting the 'saving battery warning.' My Climate Control from the app has been taking much longer to start also, sometimes timing out like the OP mentioned. I've started to try to unlock or lock the doors to 'wake things up', and in my mind it seems to have helped. Getting 12v battery replaced in the next month.

This has been ticking me off for the last few weeks. It's freezing cold out and I can't remote start the heat. My 12V battery is two-months old.

Then maybe it is an app or software glitch. I noticed it with my 12v battery issues so I was hoping that was the link.

Even when my truck is plugged in at home it doesn't work lately. I have to go out and open and close the drivers side door first. Then it beeps at me and fires up the heat. So odd.
