This is also my method to trick the truck to begin pre-conditioning in cold conditions. The degree of value in pre-conditioning of course depends on the relative outdoor temperature and on influencing conditions like the wind, etc. So the colder it is below about the mid 40s F, the better...

I understand from an Australian Lightning owner that the receivership of AUS EV's owning company happened after Ford ceased production of the Lightning. The parent company had a ten-year existence and were oriented on EVs overall.

AUS EV is in receivership and has ceased function.

FYI I've had success with these locked BCM issues by going to my good local dealer and asking for the BCM dealer update (just the BCM) because I can't perform it myself anymore, and that it therefore falls under warranty action. When put that way, the Service people do the BMS update for me for...

Based on my info from an Australian member who checked up on this, AUS EV and its parent company are now "in receivership". To me this reads "bankrupcy and liquidation".

My 2023 XLT Option 312A did get the WAL sometime this February. I can't remember exactly now what triggered the WAL to begin working. I was very pleased though when it did. I am familiar with the WAL from my Mach E days. I also never, ever use PAAK, so this function is purely fob-triggered...

I've had many wipers over the years, from OEM to specialty ones including Bosch, etc. What I really like about the Kimblades are: 1. the special glass preparation packet which comes with the 1st set of Kimblades. It somehow binds with the surface of the glass to make the glass permanently...

I went with the square-profile Kimblade blades 12+ months ago... never looked back. I just replaced their square-shape rubber in the past month. Highly recommend them.

Yes, of course... but then I'd be missing the TPMS safety screen while I drive.

...and here are several resulting new IPC and APIM screens with the new 2024 software working on a 2023 XLT with a 12-inch screen... the APIM charging screen has one small graphic change while the IPC has several good improvements, under the speedometer with much more advanced Drivers' Assist...

HUZZAH! for my 2023 XLT Option 312A. After the 6 hour module firmware upload was complete I loaded the 2024 IPC.AB file and - THEN, per a great post back in this thread, I took note of new data in lines 720-13-01, 720-13-02 and 720-14-01, - then restored my Factory (IPC).AB file and finally...

Water in the taillight? Radar sensor not working anymore? There might be a fix cheaper than a new $$$ taillight. The sensor is replaceable for about $370 or so from Ford. There are other used sensors on sale via Amazon and EBay but I didn't have good luck with those... they are often...

That Australian bash plate seems like a good piece of gear. Did anyone get one here in North America yet? Details please :) Even with a high shipping and tariff cost, an avoidance of the costs of potential downtime, transport and repair from damage caused by a random forest trail branch in...

I also had a Mach E. I also bought a fob from a former Mach E member on that blog, because it had four usable buttons instead of the three buttons the Mach E fob had... maybe to use that extra button for the rear hatch? ...just can't remember now. When I traded the Mach E for my Lightning I...

Gotcha. My old EVSEUpgrade is capable of 20 amps at its top end, so it's pretty safe for all the 240V receptacles I'm aware of.

No.

Overall, I find it inopportune and actually a bit sad that every car manufacturer EVSE I've seen, Ford included, has a proprietary connection between its "brick" and its cord whips. This makes no cords and plugs interchangeable between different OEM EVSEs. What I greatly like about my old...

The old circa 2011+ Nissan and Prius forums (fora?) had a very inventive member who had taken to modifying the well-built Nissan / Panasonic EVSE which came for only 120V to a dual self-selecting 120V & 240V EVSE with an easily user-adjustable amperage of 6 to 20 amperes. I still have mine and...

Sorry about Your lost fob. It might turn up. FYI I also do not have PAAK on my phone. I like using the fob, for among other reasons its skeleton key for the glove box, the spare tire lock and the center console. The teens use the SecureLock door keypad and so do I so that the other fob...

On our Lightnings, the various telltales are the very bottom row of small colored icons on the IPC screen... i.e. high beams (blue), glare-free headlights (green), low 12V battery (red), etc. etc.
