  1. Amber Charging Station Pro Fault and Ford Special Needs People in the EV support dept.

    That's not a good sign, could be a wiring fault or internal. The fcsp has an internal gfci, if you installed a gfci breaker to it it could cause issues.
  2. Amber Charging Station Pro Fault and Ford Special Needs People in the EV support dept.

    First try cycling power off on the fcsp for 2 minutes and back on. Make sure your fcsp is connected to WiFi and shows in the Ford app. If that doesn't work, you have to recheck all of your connections and wiring. You might need to derate the fcsp to 60 or 48a if the problem persists.
  3. CHARGING IN THE WINTER

    It depends on battery temp. It might not need a lot to keep it ideal, it only does it on 240v though. The standing battery temp is cooler than a preconditioned one. Below 0 deg C you'll really start to notice it. Just keep an eye on your charge data, it will draw power at some point...
  4. CHARGING IN THE WINTER

    The battery conditioning maintains a set minimum temp when plugged in to level 2. I find it active below 10 degC and works more the colder it gets. There is wind. Nothing draws the heat out faster than a cold breeze, even at less than freezing temps. It was about - 14 degC yesterday and the...
  5. Slippery Mode Makes The Lightning Safer in Snow

    I drive in normal 2pd mode when it's slippery. The truck handles the snow really well.
  6. Ford EV sales without the fed tax credit

    Late fall and winter vehicle sales fall off regardless of brand. Irregardless, the tax credit wasn't for serious buyers, the manufacturers probably ended up worse off with it.
  7. Two chargers at home, can I make different settings?

    The l1 system maxes out at 1.2kw. As said above, l1 is less efficient so you actually burn that 10-15%extra or more with line losses. In regards to the lightning, L1 charging is for when you have no other option. Plug in and charge as much as you can. It also does not maintain battery temp...
  8. Wiper recommendations?

    Just had one blade start peeling apart and I bought the cheapest one to replace it with. I will now have mismatched looking wipers. Cost $10
  9. Tonneau Cover Range Improvement numbers

    That is the cheapest cover I've heard of, good buy. Open truck box aerodynamics have been studied quite a bit, so much so that the tailgate is designed as an aerodynamic element. There is a huge low pressure pocket of air behind the cab, the flow over the top of it spills down to the top of...
  10. Ambient light on 120v plug at back staying on all the time

    The front console storage light also stays on. Not sure for how long though, they were off this morning when I left for work.
  11. Tow Mode vs Regular Mode Mileage

    Normal mode and watch your consumption trip for averaging. Or tow/haul mode, probably won't make a difference, might even be worse efficiency.
  12. CHARGING IN THE WINTER

    The truck doesn't lock the plug at 240v, it's your emporia plug which is cold and stiff. A hair dryer works well for charge port icing and to get your plug warmed. I haven't covered my port, no real issues in 3 years. Had to take a hair dryer to it once after an ice storm.
  13. Ambient light on 120v plug at back staying on all the time

    Weird. As for the interior light, just cycle the setting in the menu and see if that makes a difference. Edit: mines on too, will have to check later. The bed light button on mine works fine, always has. Maybe it's your welcome lighting.
  14. Ford and Class Action Lawsuit regarding downgrading Lightning

    Let's see the numbers. The article doesn't give any solid facts. What was the change? I completely agree with the points of the proposed lawsuit, let's see the details.
  15. Trailer Brake System Fault rodent damage post #24

    The truck will not remote start with the frunk open.
  16. "Electrical System Drain. Service Required." DIY Fixes?

    How old is the battery and was it tested? Sometimes batteries will sit on a shelf for a long time and lose capacity.
  17. Can you see what the BlueCruise center camera see’s?

    Since the camera has to be recalibrated after windshield replacements I would assume someone has the diagnostic equipment to check it.
  18. Share Your Pipeline to F-150 Lightning. G'on. It's Thanksgiving...

    Owned many Ford trucks over the years. Lightning was my first EV, early reservation as I wanted to get away from the criminal gasoline cartels.
