Trust me, you will.

Trust me, you will.

Well here's hoping @Ford Motor Company is taking note of these error messages.

my truck normally has the Shutters OPEN while parked

today, I went out and pressed the ON button...
the FAN immediately kicked on, and when I hopped out and looked at the Shutters, they were just then opening.. as though they had already been closed, but they had not... maybe it is just an initial 'working' of the shutters whenever you start...

after about 30 seconds, the FAN stopped, and the Shutters CLOSED, while the truck was still ON... but not yet in gear, or moving. Interesting.

I turned the truck OFF, and now the shutters are back to OPEN....

interesting, as all this is happening even though the truck is not in gear, moving, and there is no charging happening, and none for several days, and the temperature is not hot.

I knew my 'new' tiny backup camera for my camper would come in handy!
Wifi and directly to my iPhone while towing, or filming... : )

Looks like the video quality used for "capturing" images of the Lochness Monster and UFOs. : )

and 'Sasquatch' ! I remember that 'movie' from the early 70's...

I'm also getting the active air dam fault message. Just about everyday now.

 

[vacasity]

seems like the active air dam is a common fault. I get these just about every day, especially when its colder out, for what ever reason.

I got the Active Air Dam fault three times during a very blustery and rainy/hail period on the way to Chicago recently. No error messages on the return trip with nice weather.

I dropped mine off at the dealer this morning for the Active Air Dam Fault error message. It was happening multiple times on pretty much every drive at this point and got to be really annoying.

I hope it's not a time consuming fix. They gave me a loaner through 11/25; I hope to God it doesn't take that long to fix. They gave me an ICE loaner which was a real bummer; I was really hoping they'd let me have their mannequin Lightning in iced blue silver which they're using as a loaner too.

Any update on this?

My ‘’Air Dam Fault’ message began several days ago and is pretty much constant now. (For what it’s worth, been rainy and Texas-cold this past week.)

I’m not yet concerned enough to “See manual” as the message instructs, suspecting manual says “See service”

No update, except that @Ford Motor Company assigned a case manager and expedited shipment of the part after seeing my post on these forums. The part is supposed to ship by the first week of December now.

I've gotten this error three times, all when it was snowy and cold out. It seems like based on the other posts, the active air dam simply doesn't work in harsh cold weather.

As long as it is just a minimal range reduction, I can live with this. I assume it's hard for a light moving part to power through the elements. However, I'll keep an eye on this, in case there are more serious issues from the fault.

Me too today for the first time….38 degF dry, in moderate fog….no ice….

I am also getting air dam fault and my friend with a lightning is getting it too. With this many people having issues, will this be a recall? @Ford Motor Company
