Wanted to make everyone aware that the legend @JHForman812 who brought us the missing lighted cupholders, media bin, and glove-box lights mod has documented how to get color-changing ambient lighting on the newer F-150 models and hopefully this applies to the our Lightnings. Apparently Ford...
Saw this on Tim Bartz's Facebook page. He will be attending. Looks like it precedes a larger EV Expo event.

For those of you that have Car Scanner, what do you see when you look at the Emission tests screen? Mine shows Fuel System: Not Passed. Of course that makes no sense but who knows how Ford software works.
Here are the relevant screens from Car Scanner:
Not worried about failing inspection...
As an Early Access member, I mostly get surveys. On the latest survey they asked what resources I may have used for the survey topic. Guess what I chose:
Has anyone recently used the trailer light check in FordPass successfully? I've been working on the lights for our Scout trailer and thought I try it out.
It would try to connect for about 10 seconds then give an error that it could not connect. Tried a few days ago and today. Said it was...

So Maverick Nation going a little crazy today. Autoblog posted some spy pics of an upcoming Maverick. And it looks like it has a nicer screen but (gasp), on-screen controls for HVAC! The Maverick is getting a refresh in 2025.
This looks like the new Android Automotive system called Ford Digital...
Starting to do taxes - I installed an Emporia EVSE in 2023 and assumed I would get the 30% tax credit using Form 8911. Reading the instructions I see that beginning after 2022 (i.e., tax years 2023+), the equipment now has to be installed within an eligible census tract. Basically you need to...
$600
Selling my Charge Station Pro. It is used but in great condition. Has the latest firmware from August 2023. Was installed in garage, not outside. Has a 1/2" conduit knockout seal on right side and 3/4 conduit open knockout on left side.
Comes packed in original box with all original...
I usually get all the updates to install but having issues with the RAD-PS one. Thanks to a forum member that looked up my VIN in PTS it shows failures due to 12V battery SOC. I have idled/driven truck to get to 85% SOC (per Car Scanner) and still no go. Lots of attempts. He suggests external...
This just popped up.
The radio presets have been reset on all the inhibit updates except the last one (DC-CHG3). Will see if this update resets them one last time!
So I was perusing the 14thGen forum and ran across this post. Essentially they were saying that the 23's have a smaller wireless charger module with a fan and air vents that maybe works better.
This is one area I have been disappointed with on my '22. When using Carplay maps and the wireless...
So Jim Farley stated you would never see an ad for an EV during the Super Bowl. I know the Cowboy's pre-season game tonight is far from the Super Bowl but I did see this during the broadcast ;):
The fine print indicates the $1750 is for XLT 4x2 and Lightning 4x2. Of course there is no...
There is a Diagnostics Menu you can activate that shows all sorts of info on several of your modules including screen tests, cellular/WiFi connectivity, etc. This has been mentioned a couple of times here - one person used it to compare AM/FM signal reception of stubby vs. whip. I think it could...
Has anyone purchased any blind spot mirrors that they would recommend? I have had them on my other trucks and very useful. I find the BLIS system doesn't do well when merging onto a freeway and have had several close calls. Here is one that gets several recommendations on the Gen14 forum...
For my birthday, my son created this LEGO model of my Lightning Lariat with low-profile Revolver X4S tonneau. Scale is slighter bigger than min-fig size but Homer looks at home.
A little earlier than Ford thought, but Tim with Long McArthur Ford (@FordVideoGuy) announced yesterday that everyone left on his reservation list (97 I believe) got their invite Thursday.
So as we discussed, not getting a Pro for 40K and limited XLT has pushed a ton of folks out of the...
