I just checked. I have departure times turned off. I can’t find any evidence of an update. This is definitely new behavior on my 24 Flash. In November I left it unplugged in my garage for a week and the 12v drained down from 12.83v to 12.43v - there were no charging/boost events. Based on...

I was asleep when it occurred. I’m the only person with access.

The picture shows that the voltage before the charge was 12.73v. That seems way too high to trigger a 12v boost.

I have the ANCEL BM300 on all my vehicles.

Captured this behavior with my Bluetooth battery monitor today. My truck is not plugged in, it’s locked and the key fobs are in faraday pouches a long distance from the truck. The HVB is sitting at 77% and the truck is sitting in my heated garage. The 12v battery was at a reasonable SOC. For...

Yes, the remote start button instead of the frunk button. This is one of the fobs that I use. Keylessbest Key Fob Remote https://a.co/d/1ABGzz9

12v battery may be getting weak. I’m a big advocate of putting Bluetooth battery monitors on all vehicles batteries. They give you the ability to check current and historical 12v SOC instantly. That provides great information for use in understanding what is happening with your battery. Also...

Does the heater cycle, or heat continuously? There are a few threads that talk about the system needing to sense at least 90W every 5 minutes or it will shut down. If the thermostat stops calling for heat for more than 5 minutes, that would let ProPower shut down. To keep it running, people...

Did you replace the battery yourself? Did the BMS get reset? If it were my truck I’d disconnect the battery cables for 15 minutes (at least). Put the battery on a charger - if it’s not at 100%, charge it fully before reconnecting the battery cables. After reconnecting the battery I’d reset...

Every time you wake the truck the modules draw significant power from the 12v for a half hour.

Key fobs aren’t too expense if you don’t go to the dealer. I programmed this one to my 24 Flash and got the added benefit of remote start/climate from the key fob.

Way to kill the vibe dude. I live in probably one of the safest cities in the USA but I still lock my doors and take measures to compensate for Ford’s vulnerabilities. No one is taking my shit if I can help it.

As far as I know, taillight theft hasn’t been a big issue in KC area. That hasn’t keep me from trying to prevent my lights from being stolen. I believe the thief would have to get the tailgate open to steal the taillights. I have a handicapped tag and try to always back my truck to the sign so...

Maybe that should be password protected too.

A neighbor had his new F150 stolen about 3 years ago. In the end the police figured out that it was the Ford dealer service tech - he made a key and stole the truck. The service tech’s girlfriend was involved in a high speed chase that resulted in my neighbors truck being totaled. I don’t know...
