FCSP cover tabs

[gbuydos]

I had heard the cover tabs on the FCSP were flimsy. Sure enough, I removed the cover this morning and one snapped off. I epoxied it back in place and reinforced all the other tabs with epoxy.

I wonder if the low Winter morning temperatures have hardened the plastic or made it more brittle. Is Your FCPS in an open or unheated space? I ask because my FCSP lives on the outside wall of my 1939 driveway (no garage)...

My curiosity also asks why did You open Your FCSP after it was installed? Maybe I'll learn something I didn't know about the device... thanks.

If you want to change charging amps, entering the case is the only reliable way. Ford Pass might lag a day after you enter the change if it decides to work at all.

It’s in a heated garage. So no freezing temps. I opened it to make sure the amp selector was set to 80 amps.

I will also say I hooked up to WiFi today and could not find my paperwork. Charger number and passcode are under cover. Also some have said the front cover falls off when the cable hangs up on it. That also breaks the tabs.

IIRC we may have previously covered this, but 2024 Lightnings can only charge at 48 amps, do you have other BEV's which can take advantage of 80 amps?

Just looked at your FCSP install thread, we did cover that, but if a friend from New England is visiting Iowa he could take advantage of your capacity, (Family in Jefferson County Iowa)

Hope it went smoothly!!
