That's right, it was the "Charge Port Actuator" - https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/electrify-america-fast-charger-not-connecting-post-27-resolution.16549/
Very similar thing happened to me.
Known issue - some sort of locking device that is required for DCFC (only) - several people here have posted that theirs were bad. My truck was in the shop for a few days, haven't had a problem since.
As far as "B" - how old are you? I remember (as a young child) during the summer of 1972 (maybe '73?) waiting in a line of cars stat stretched around the block, waiting to get a 5-gallon "ration" of fuel, only to discover the station ran empty before it was our turn. The papers reported...
Just to spite me -
100 degree heat here in Central Oregon.
I started the truck yesterday (without pre-activating the climate or pre-conditioning) and the AC started blasting, as it should.
And then I noticed the heated seats & steering wheel were activated!
I think it's the trucks way of...
That sucks, and it's damn petty of Ford to do that - not like the software would cost them any more money..
Just on the off chance the feature is actually there & hidden (it took me WEEKS to figure this out) I included a couple of screenshots - the first one shows just the fan button, to...
That makes it even stupider - the ability to change the presets only appears AFTER you have started to condition the cabin (the little fan button) - push the fan button & after the truck confirms it is on, you should see the options to change it
So it's been > 95 degrees here recently (like much of the country), and twice today I hit the Fordpass "Climate" button hoping to cool down the truck before I got in.
While the AC was blasting nicely, imagine my surprise that the heated seats & steering wheel were also engaged!

Follow-up on my original thread.
Yakima makes an extender that moves the whole unit several inches back. It also comes with the same thru-bolt system to reduce swaying - but unfortunately it was just an inch or two too short still! The tailgate was still resting on the base of the unit
So I...
Marc thanks for posting that pic!
Turns out I had the pad situated wrong - it seemed to naturally want to lie more "in the bed" when I set it up, which blocked the camera. After seeing your pic I re-adjusted and now it's sitting just like yours. Not to mention it's clearing the latch cutouts...
Does anyone have a good solution for a tailgate pad that fits well & doesn't block the backup camera?
I bought the Yakima "Gatekeeper" ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HC57HNR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 )
It's just a touch too wide (you have to scrunch up the material...
Just took a long-ish (700+ mi) trip through Eastern Oregon & Washington. Not a lot of chargers.
I used ABRP to plan the trip. Once I was at my stopping point (small town in E Washington), I realized my consumption was a bit higher than ABRP defaults, and I was worried I would have to take a...
Hoping to save other people the aggravation - the Yakima DoubleDown tailgate rack is supposed to angle backwards to allow you access to the back of your vehicle. It doesn't _quite_ go down far enough for the tailgate to fully drop, however!
(In all fairness they have pics of SUVs with the...
Nice report! I used to live in SA and would travel down to McAllen for work occasionally - before I got my Lightning, but that area of So Texas was definitely a concern of mine when I was contemplating (actually, while I was still on the wait list <g>).
You're right, upgrading those...
