I'm a 20%-er?
Had a 2001 F350 v10 that I purchased in 2018 or so. Had a 2023 Mach-e for a year and traded that and sold the F350 for the Lightning.
Pop's had a F250 6.7 diesel that he and my Mom used to pull their 5th wheel all over the country.
Those are the only Ford's in the family that I...
Agree with everything @chriserx said except for "Edit 2". You can use a 5 volt USB when powering the Comma outside of a vehicle, you just have to accept the low voltage warning on the Comma. I have found that the Comma works best when connected to my powered USB hub on my desktop, but YMMV. Some...
If I am following correctly, you're asking if the Comma will power on if you add the coupler to a USB cord that is plugged in to a USB power source like a phone charger, not the truck?
I haven't personally tried it, I read about it in the manual, in this forum, or the Mach-e forum. My Lightning Pro doesn't have blue cruise, but my previous MME did. I have felt the brake check before, but I never took it to the full stop with the hazard lights on.
You working on your own truck and adding this feature means you alone are liable for anything that happens.
Finding someone else to do this for you and assume the liability, whether that's correct or not, is very unlikely.
No idea WHY it would happen, sounds like a ghost in the machine.
What it sounds like from your description is what BC does as the final step when it thinks you aren't paying attention. It brake checks to try and wake you up as well as the alarms and ultimately stops with your hazard lights...
I pay for it and find it useful. Paying allows it to be used over Android Auto and gets the car data through Android Auto so the OBD dongle is not necessary. The OBD is able to access a couple more parameters but nothing that changes the calculations drastically. I will still use the OBD...
You could likely do the entire 120 miles without stopping to charge if you start at 100%. I could do 120 miles easy towing my 24' flat front travel trailer if I start at 100%. That V-nose trailer should be better air resistance wise for better range than my flat front.
1.1-1.2 miles/kWh towing...
Check your 12 volt and have a load test done, available usually for free at any auto parts store if you don't have the equipment.
Try a reboot - disconnect your 12 volt negative cable for 30 minutes and re-connect.
An update on this random honk/lock/no WAL thing.... This hasn't happened since the late November triple OTA update spree. Fingers crossed, but it seems that something changed for the better with those OTA's.
I believe @rugedraw had a post somewhere about fixing this issue. IIRC you have to use ForScan to reset one or more modules. I truly don't remember the exact post so wait to see if he responds to his bat-signal ping.
I would get one more data point. My TPMS and a couple of different gauges I have and tire shop rotate/pressure checks are all within 1-2psi of each other. 6psi is a big spread. Overfilling those tires will get you better range for sure.
Special Service Vehicle... it's a Pro trim that Ford sells to law enforcement and related government agencies and is available for the rest of us sometimes. Has some LE goodies in it like bullet resistant seatbacks and red interior light for stakeouts.
Just looked at the Hansshow website again and there's a "Cyber Monday" sale that's still active. Code "CM22" gets you 22% off which brings the cord down to $467.22. Still spendy but better than the $599 without code.
$600 is pretty steep, but it looks like the original safety issues have been addressed. Tom's test with the Lightning and Rivian charging on the cable back to back without speed decreasing or heat issues is pretty solid. He admits that winter temps are favorable, but the cord quality still looks...
