That doesn't control the onboard charger in the truck. It (when it works at all) only controls a single, Ford brand EVSE. Just like you could do with the app for any other "smart" EVSE except it'd actually work. I have to guess software for Lightning-specific modules like the onboard charger...

Searching this forum and the MachE forum and "those other forums" I actually see a few reports that might be this problem. With that characteristic pattern where the OP is trying and trying to get Ford corporate's attention and then suddenly disappears. I think we know from the HIS debacle...

I think the bottom line on the "grift" angle here is that allowing an LLM to take over your communication with other human beings is a poor choice and will often lead to pointless and counterproductive escalation. Ford should fix OP's truck, or buy it back, I agree. I also agree that website...

Wait a minute. Even if the "software solution" is actually delivered in Q3 2026 (Ford usually seems to be about a quarter late on these things) that means from now until September 30, I am at risk of being stranded if I take my 2022 Lightning on a road trip that requires DC charging to get...

Honestly there has to be some point at which the NHTSA will intervene if a manufacturer says they're doing a recall but doesn't actually...right?

I understand the liability issues. There is a bad interaction of NY insurance regs, MA vehicle registration requirements, and our insurer's internal pricing systems which appears to make it about a thousand bucks cheaper per year if we retitle the vehicle in the kid's name. Honestly if it were...

We've got a Ford EV (one of our Mach Es, but we carry the ford extended warranty on all of them) that we're going to let our kid take to college this year. We're in New York. College is in Massachusetts. I've just discovered that between a rats' nest of registration and insurance rules...

Has anyone else seen this? We have 3 Ford EVs (lightning and two Mach Es) and every time I check them from the app, Automatic Updates have switched off. Occasionally on the Mach Es I am able to turn it back on successfully and then they get a batch of stuff that's clearly been queued up. But...

Oh, one more thing - when you open up the unit to check the settings, be careful with the original screws; I have never found a good source for replacement stainless screws with the integral rubber gasket under the head in the required size. If you lose or have lost one, be sure to use a...

If it is in fact a Gen2 HPWC (current selection via a rotary selector not DIP switches is a sure way to tell, in my experience - note they did sell silver-colored Gen2 units and swappable skins so the Gen1 and Gen2 can look a lot alike externally) I believe you want to put DIP switch #2 in the...

Well, no, not really, not from my point of view at least. Flipping DIP switches on a Gen1 HPWC might get the OP somewhere but not because "slowing down" EVSEs to match vehicles is a thing. The Gen1 Tesla EVSE may or may not work with a Ford vehicle at any speed due to its dirty pilot...

Caution on balancing modules with any ad hoc technique or equipment - Gruber Motors, who recondition Tesla batteries, may have burned down their entire shop this way (the first time it burned down). Would not personally attempt it without access to the official Ford procedure and equipment...

There's been a lot of misinformation about this floating around. I'm going to try to correct it and leave you with the facts. 1) The idea that somehow if you have a single onboard charger Lightning limited to 48A you cannot charge at a J1772 EVSE offering 80A is just wrong. Your truck will...

Isn't the right answer to make a single braze or mechanical connection at each end and run more ordinary copper tubing in between? Supposedly this can be done with brass transition fittings that are flare on both sides. It looks like none of the refrigerant rated press fitting systems are...

And the trucks almost unusable in the winter, where I live anyway.

So they misdiagnosed a $1450 repair that should have been $0 because they did not read the user or service manuals and reset the frunk latch? And then charged you $100 after you taught them how to fix it? Seems like a dealership @Ford Motor Company should have a word with.

It's just got a different name in Forscan. I'm in a rush so I can't look it up for you but it's in one of the other threads.

I have some memory that a number of us here tried talk another prolific forum member out of trying to parallel the 2.4K and 7.2K inverters a few years ago. Kinda wonder what happened...

Did you save your settings before making changes?

It is baffling to me as well!
