  1. Do these 12v battery issues exist in the 2025 model?

    Dielectric grease is to keep out moisture and prevent conductivity. A contact enhancer goes on the connections prior to assembly to make it more conductive. Deoxit is probably the most available. Stabilant 22 is another popular contact enhancer but it's incredibly expensive. I use...
  2. Do these 12v battery issues exist in the 2025 model?

    Mine lasted 3 years and 3 very cold winters before I proactively replaced it before leaving the truck parked for a week unplugged at - 25 deg C this year. Bought a new one from ford that has a 3 year warranty. No problems. I hope the order was clean, then tighten, then apply the dielectric...
  3. GM Pauses production on two EV's

    Which 2 ev's??
  4. How often to charge to 100%?

    Charge to 100% when you need the extra range and use it as soon as practicable. Ford recommends keeping it under %90 for daily driving. If you look back in the forums you'll find that cell matching/balancing after a battery replacement takes time at lower states of charge. Until I see...
  5. A flood of used EVs is coming

    With gas prices rising hourly the flood will be a trickle.
  6. Weird vibration when changing a profile

    Haven't seen that before but you can reconfigure the profiles so it recognizes you and sets it for you first.
  7. Tailgate opening and closing on its own

    Make sure your fob isn't having inadvertent button pushes. With tailgate closed, lock the truck, that should keep it from opening if it's an internal failure. I've seen before where the tailgate doesn't fully latch and it will reopen.
  8. Will Ford Continue to Offer Parts, Service, and OTA Updates For Its Cancelled F-150 Lightning?

    I just got a new cooling loop compressor on Tuesday. Parts will be available, not the first vehicle to be shelved.
  9. J1772 to J1772 Cable extension

    Your cable is broken. When I click the link there is a note on Amazon that says it's frequently returned due to compatibility issues. My guess would be the comm circuit or other wiring doesn't meet spec. You can test with an ohm meter. Hotel charging is nice but I've almost given up on it...
  10. Grind or popping noise at slow speeds

    Not really, that that only works for more obvious problems.
  11. Grind or popping noise at slow speeds

    It almost sounds like an upper shock mount bearing. That tsb would be worth a shot though. It seems to cover your issue. Only downside is it would cost you 2hrs(listed as 1.9h for the front) labour and parts. I would diy No, it is not. Should be smooth as butter.
  12. Stop and Go

    If you have adaptive cruise then it will come to a complete stop in traffic and accelerate again when traffic moves.
  13. Anyone notice an alarm going off on their phone changes the HVAC fan speed?

    If you have an alarm set then you want to hear it. Turn off the alarm?
  14. Stop and Go

    I've always found the stop and go feature doesn't react fast enough. By the time the truck starts rolling again someone has jumped in ahead of you. It would be nice to have adjustment on both ends.
  15. Keyless keypad stuck in lock only mode

    Not securing the connection properly afterwards is a concern with home mechanics. There is also this: Note: Make sure the vehicle has been switched off and doors closed for at least five minutes before disconnecting the 12 volt battery
  16. Returned home after high voltage repair work, first overnight charge the FCSP dies.

    Step 1) check for proper connections and power going to the fcsp. Step 2) ring out board to find damaged component. Step 3) repair or replace. Yes, solid white means resetting and requires no intervention. Mine goes back to blue if I plug in. It also goes white after ending a session...
  17. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power

    Call the dealer 70iles away and ask them to pull the codes. Maybe they know what they're doing. Your current dealer does not.
