Nice, glad you you got the stack working. I think the "upgrade" to my FSCP may have either died part way through or changed the password for the FSCP or maybe both. I just sent some pics of the password on the cover, my plain text version that I paste into WIFI connection and the "can't connect" message from those many attemtps to Matt as a sanity check. When I used the existing stup last week, it just worked something has "gone south"
When I tried to power cycle the charger and re-add it to the Fordpass app a few weeks ago (for a different issue), the FordPass app just wouldn't connect to it no matter what I did. I even factory reset it using the charge station pro app with no luck. I ended up having to take the cover off and hit the red reset button, which finally worked.

They could also have done what you described, as the software engineering seems . . . questionable . . . but I'd try the red reset button if you haven't.

I had the cover off, the darkstart battery unconnected and hit the reset button many many times. I have lived the definition of insanity ... doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result :)

The FSCP is hosed

That does sound like it.

I forgot to mention the struggle of actually power cycling the thing with the dark start battery attached, which involved having to download the M Professional app and finding the right menu option to disable the battery. Is there a better way?

Not a better way but take the cover off with a torqs bit screwdrive, remove the dark start battery connection (the lowergreen connection on the left side) with the power off and/or press the Reset button on the top left of the circuit board.

Thanks for the reminder!

Sunrun guy just left, Ford Crap Station Pro looks to be malfunctioning. I feel bad for Sunrun, they got sold a bill of goods and my guess is it won't get any better now that Ford is ending fully battery powered trucks, let's take America backwards!
