A non-engineer here whose Mach E front motor did fail, catastrophically (see post #4 here) and whose next, warrantied front motor was about to fail when I traded the car... as well as the youngest brother of three, the others both engineers who never, ever let me forget it :crackup: IMHO this...

I see this thread has new contributions. I recently replaced both my mirrors with power-folding mirrors. One of them, I had to mix & match components. This is actually really not hard to do, as long as You are meticulous and You carefully observe and think about what step to take next. Every...

Hmmm... the glass is indeed glass (I know because I broke one when putting on my power folding mirrors and the shards sure looked like any mirror shards I had broken in the house as a preteen boy), and perhaps the scratches are in the coating(s) on top of the glass ??

That's the way to do it if You know what You want, and why... Back in the mid-1990s I bicycled all the way across Louisville Kentucky on my trusty Peugeot from the South End to the East End because my 1990 BMW crapped its water pump, and the only (then) BMW dealer in Louisville was way out in...

It seems the aftermarket is still too small for the (relatively) small number of Lightnings sold, compared to the millions of gasoline & diesel F150s running around. All we can do is wait.

Not exactly on point for Your question, but... I recently came into a great deal on very slightly used Nokian Hakkapelitta Winter tires. I naturally looked for steel wheels to mount these Winter tires on, for relative cheap price and for the abuse that Winter driving metes out to wheels (ice +...

I want to revive this thread to add a wrinkle for those who buy power folding mirrors and add it to an XLT, as I did. Some (maybe most?) of the higher-trim power folding mirrors will also have an auto dimming, "electrochromic" feature on the driver's power mirror glass. The mirror glass with...

Unplug the modem and re-plug it after 20 seconds. This pretty much resets it. The modem is behind the rear seats on the wall, right about where the 60/40 seat break is. Just pull off the felt wall lining by pulling out the one or two press-in trim plugs straight out with a trim tool. The...

Yeah -- Physics is an Unforgiving B*tch :clap:

I buckled a very strong steady headwind like that across Kansas heading West to Colorado in January 2024, in my old Mach E Mustang. Every vehicle was having visible trouble, double so for EVs like mine. When such headwinds happen, there is nothing to do in any EV but to slow wayyy down. No...

I understand it's a question of access, above the bottom armor plate and to both the drain plug and to the fill plug up on the side.

Yeah I know... Ford Corporate has been known to cheap out here and there.

I just did exactly this ACM - to - HD radio ACM swap today, along with some repositioning of my JL 280/4 channel 50 watt amplifier hidden within the guts of the center dash. It's nice to have HD radio again, now that my XLT's speakers are upgraded and the little JL 280 amp is installed. This...

I had this very thing go BLOOOEY on my old Mach E Mustang, when the fluid in the front motor leaked internally through the motor seals. The techs showed me the orange motor connector when they took that motor out under warranty, and the fluid was visibly oozing through the orange connector's...

This might or might not apply to Your decision, but here's one more bit of Winter EV info... EVs by their nature lack an internal heat source i.e. a gasoline / diesel engine water jacket to draw heat from for the cabin. I learned this the hard way with my high-trim Mach E Mustang with its huge...

I just LOVE Your TinTin avatar! It made me smile thru my morning coffee :clap:

Ditto. Just did an 8-week+, 9,300+ mile coast-to-coast trip this past Summer, over mountains and across deserts and all that... while towing a teardrop. Did a similar although much shorter camping trip with younger kids in tow the Summer of 2024. I drive this truck all the time, all over...

My 2023 XLT Option 312A seems to have taken this successfully, as described above. I had a "0" and a "0" and changed to "2" and "C".

Nah... standard EU specification Lightning mirrors.

FYI can You pls pass the e-address of the guy in Poland You got the TCU from? I am looking for some Euro-spec F150 outside mirrors which have a better blind spot visibility system... I have imported some previously for my Mach E Mustang, and for my Fusion / Mondeo prior to that, but it's very...
