Does your Mongoose have firmware update capability? I use a Topdon JLink J2534, and a firmware update was needed to connect to the Lightning.

This has happened to me where the automatic lights somehow get turned off and the lights stay on for significantly longer than intended. Check your switch.

No issues with WAL but I also turned off approach lighting to keep the power boards from flapping like a dying duck every time I walked by. Would be nice to have the boards separated from the approach lighting. If you are on the original 12v battery, it is probably tired. That small battery...

Barking the tires doesn't mean it is faster. It just means the traction control wasn't working as well. Try turning off the traction control and see if it comes back to where you want it. Press and hold the TCS until both levels of TCS turn off. Make sure you are hanging on to her when you...

I highly doubt Ford is intentionally dropping the performance. I think it is the effect @Heliian described. You get used to the power, and it just doesn't feel as fast because you are used to it. Charge to 100% and then take it around the block. That extra bit of voltage on the pack...

Using the Ford app will prioritize SOC, then Departure (precondition) and the truck will start charging before your charge window when needed to achieve the targets. (ie, Your truck will start charging immediately when plugged in if your SOC is really low when you plug in and your EVSE can't get...

Common problem with the liner folks not reconnecting the pro power box after the liner job. Test it before you leave the liner place :sunglasses:

When you get this message, and the truck goes into deep sleep mode, the truck charges the 12v battery from the HVB so the measurement you get after the message will be higher than the voltage that triggered the event. In my tracking of this issue for nearly 3 years, I found the trigger point...

Quick reference: This is for an AGM battery at rest (no current draw, OCV - Open Circuit Voltage) and an hour or more after a charge cycle. Our trucks rarely have zero draw unless the battery is disconnected, especially if you measure after opening the frunk without waiting for 30 minutes or...

I'm curious if it is consistently repeatable. If you can show the technician that it is repeatable, he can take that to the Ford engineers. ie. 12v reset, its fine, climate start, problem shows up.

Intermittent problems suck - especially if you can't recreate them. I would guess the dealer has checked the hood and latch alignment, but that would be my next step. This is what I would do: Lubricate the latch as per @RLXXI 's post. Verify the hood set posts are not too high - maybe turn...

That sucks. It is suspect since it has happened with two different latch mechanisms. I know the frunk control module shuts down after 30 minutes or so. If it was left in the 1/2 latched state for that long, it may cause goofy things like this. Maybe try one more thing. If you have a...

Sometimes, if I have an overly rushed helper push the button and then try to lift the hood, it will not release the safety latch and gets stuck. Gently closing it and pressing the button again works for me when this happens. @hturnerfamily called out the possibility of upward pressure. That...

Your 2023 Lariat should have it enabled. I also have an early 2023 Lariat (11/2022) and it has been enabled from the start. I'd take it back to the dealer and make sure all of the modules are updated to current levels.

How are you measuring the 12V SOC in the morning? The 12v should be at 100% at the end of your HVB charging cycle, so if your charge cycle ends at say 2 am and it is dropping to 25-30% by say 8 am, it probably means a replacement is in order. As @TaxmanHog said, only a proper capacity test can...

It's pretty hard to compare tires without real data. Very few organizations actually test and document things like rolling resistance because of the work involved in it. I can see it being factored in to ratings sometime in the future. In the meantime, I'll rely on the good folks of the...

I think this is truck-dependent. I have to put way more pressure on the wheel than I should have to for it to recognize the hand on the wheel to the point I nearly have to nudge the truck off its straight course. My wife's MME is fingertip, and simply resting a finger on the wheel does the...

The regeneration motors are the same as the traction motors. When decelerating or going down hills, the same motors use the kinetic energy of the truck to pump energy back into the batteries.

I wouldn't take it to the dealer unless the problem recurs. Sometimes the brains just need a reset for things to work properly after an update.

This doesn't really work. The truck only charges the 12v when the HVB is actively charging. Just being plugged in when the HVB is already at target SOC doesn't help the 12v. It seems a bit of a flaw in Ford's 12v charging plan, but that is the way it works unless it has been changed very...
