Here's a Ford software engineering mystery. The DC-DC converter is changing the voltage when you slow down / stop vs moving. When speed drops below 5mph, the DC-DC converter voltage increases from 12.8v to 13.3v. When you accelerate above 7mph, the DC-DC converter drops the voltage back down...

So I'm driving home from work right now, crawling through 2 hours of beltway traffic in the rain. Seemingly out of nowhere, the ding dong sound for keep hands on steering wheel and keep eyes on road has changed. It sounds like a 1995 Windows midi cartoon version of the ding dong. WTF??

Just finished installing a Mico-Air EasyStart on my 3.5-ton heat pump. It reduced the lock rotor current (in-rush current) by 75% from 85 amps down to 21 amps! This now allows the Lightning's ProPower to successfully start and run the heat pump without even a flinch. Prior to this, the 85 amp...

Finally mostly finished enough to post some pics. Added fog lights and ditch lights, with switches and control integrated into the truck's ignition, high beams and parking lights. I'm using a CanM8 canbus interface to read the status of ignition, high beam, and parking lights. There's a canbus...

Unclear if this is a planetary scale disaster from the solar storm, or a squirrel farted on a power line down the road. But the Lightning is powering the house quite smoothly. So much quieter than my big portable generator that I normally use. Same capacity, 0% of the noise. Runs all the...

Is there any other way to trigger the zone lighting? Doing the world's slowest tap dance on the Sync screen is a terrible user experience. I don't know how the programmers and engineers that made that thing aren't embarrassed to even come to work in the morning. I need to be able to just push...

Brand new FCSP. First time connecting it. Initial setup worked, connected to my home WiFi. Then it stopped communicating on wifi and Bluetooth. My network shows it is disconnected. Pushing and holding factory reset button does nothing no matter how long. Unit powers up has a blue light, and...

Finally arrived and love it. I didn't want a soft cover due to the lack of security. I didn't want the roll-up because of the box taking up too much room at the front of the bed. I didn't want the hard covers that accordion since you can't open/close them with stuff in the bed. And didn't...

Is there any reason to be concerned about having the dealer install all of these updates (see attached) to make everything current in my '23 Lariat ER? They'll also be doing CSP 23B57 for the battery module firmware.

I'm planning to put two Morimoto 2banger SAE wide amber fog lights on the front bumper down by the air intake. Has anyone opened up various frunk and bumper plastic trim to get wiring and bolts in there? I have not tried to take the frunk tub apart yet to look. Trying to gather some intel on...

I may be buying a new 2023 on the lot at a local dealer. CSP #23B57 for the BMS and battery module is listed for this truck when I search the VIN (1FT6W1EV0PWG59660). What do you all recommend I do? Should I demand they do whatever software upgrade it needs before I take the truck? Or am I...

I'd like your opinions and advice on what I've been racking my brain with the last few days. I decided I definitely wanted a Lariat 511A (ER), with spray in bed liner, and prefer max tow but not mandatory. Prefer locally available, but ok with long distance delivery. First looking at a 2023...
