✅ 10/31 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

Same here, Avalanche! My brother has a 2017 Raptor in Avalanche and it really sold me on the color.

Good to hear!

I've never seen the color in person...my wife told me she would be extremely dissapointed if I bought another white vehicle (I tend to not wash my vehicles often and like that white hides dirt...and scratches from my young kids and big dogs). It was either Avalanche or the new Azure Metallic. Didn't feel like paying extra for paint and chose Avalanche.

Once upon a time I wanted the Iced Blue Silver, but once I saw it in person at my dealer I definitely didn't like it.

Iced Blue Silver aka RoboCop

I noticed it showed up on my Fordpass too, but Im too scared to try! Let me know if you get it to work.

Already got an update.

Activation was denied at 5:03pm PST.

I tried reactivating it and it was denied 2 minutes later. Someone is in my truck!

That happened to me last week as well, I am guessing that until a certain point in the build it can’t yet communicate with the truck and fails. I tried yesterday and it has not failed in over 24 hours, just shows waiting activation. Totally a hunch, but makes sense that it would fail early on, but later would be waiting for someone to interact from the cabin.

The failure note specifies someone denied the request in vehicle.

I had tried the activation and it failed a couple hours later. I immediately tried again and it got denied within 2 minutes.

That’s all mine does as soon as I hit activate

Interesting.

My message was different than yours, mine said someone denied the request.

Can’t count on someone to simply hit accept, and give a customer some love

I mean, I'm sure it's against policy...potentially dangerous if customers are remote starting their ICEs.

Some extra love would be nice.

I agree, I am sure those that are lucky enough to get activated is purely due to someone in the cab not knowing what they are accepting.

My tear tag is now showing. So far so good.

 

[Aakyl]

I have a tear tag showing, but no PCM modules.

 

[melatonin]

I have BCM modules showing but no tear tag or PCM.

 

[GarageMahal]

PCM does not get populated for the Lightning. I had the same question a while ago

Correct, the Lightning doesn't have a Powertrain Control Module to program.
