  1. My front louvers are open in cold weather?

    Yup, it is... That's using "demo" in Carscanner, it's not connected to my truck right now.
  2. No More Lightnings?

    You must be new to the forum..... This has been a hot topic beat to death for a while now.
  3. My front louvers are open in cold weather?

    I've got a heat pump and when I have looked, I have seen the louvers open, closed, and anywhere in between. Don't really know why, heat pumps are still FM to me (freaking magic). I'm pretty sure that the truck heating/cooling system for the motors and battery, etc. are actually heated and...
  4. My front louvers are open in cold weather?

    What year is your Lightning and MME? You might want to add those to your profile.... If you have heat pump models (newer model years), the louvers need to be open for the heat pump to to move the air across the heat exchanger to move the heat from the outside air into the cabin and battery...
  5. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power

    Your profile says that you're in Boise. Has it been cold? If so, that will quickly render a borderline 12 volt in "normal" temperatures into a useless brick.
  6. 2.5 Hours around town at -35F - Some Statistics

    How did you get a graphic display on the center screen with Carscanner? I have Carscanner on Android and I can only get text displays of the PIDs through Android Auto on the car display.
  7. Lately, the beeps in my '23 Lightning have sounded different... why?

    Yup, get your 12 volt load tested and likely time to replace it.
  8. Ford app says 100% charged when setting is at 85%

    You said that the instrument cluster shows 100% until you start the truck, then goes to 83%. I would video that for your dealer appointment that you need to get scheduled.
  9. Ford app says 100% charged when setting is at 85%

    What year Lightning? What size battery? Which trim level? Might want to update your profile, it still says that you are in a 2011 Ecoboost. I would get your truck to the dealer ASAP. The battery and high-voltage system is covered by the 8yr/100,000 mile warranty so it's safe to assume you're...
  10. F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

    If you do a departure time while it is plugged in, I believe it will condition the cabin and battery starting 90 minutes prior to the departure time depending on the ambient temperature. That should be more than enough time to defrost everything while doing it on house current.
  11. Checking for updates with FDRS

    The longest module updates take about 3 hours. Most take anywhere from a couple of minutes to maybe 10 minutes in my limited experience. It's quite easy to finish a long list of updates in a single day, or a portion of a day. I treat the second day of the 2-day subscription as a "backup" for any...
  12. Comma AI self driver assistant

    Sounds like your service advisor is grasping at straws to see if you admit to anything that they can use against you. Nope. Silence is golden. They have to prove that your accessory caused the issue. Spoiler: It didn't.
  13. Annual Energy Usage - What Was Yours Last Year?

    Yeah, I do a lot of driving. State policies have spiked our gas prices in the past 2 years or so, and WA was already difficult to afford. Thankfully electricity is relatively affordable, but again, state policy makers are doing their best to make that go away as well. I'll enjoy it while I can...
  14. Taxman's Lightning Chronology

    Is this supposed to be in your "chronology" thread?
  15. Preparing for road trip

    Your middle pinout pic shows AC and DC in the J1772 pins. I believe that is incorrect or an AI hallucination.
  16. High public charger pricing - war on EVs?

    Welcome to gas prices in WA. Just very recently dropped below $4/gal in my area. Was near $4.50 - $5.00 for most of 2025. Diesel is $5.50...
  17. Preparing for road trip

    The Wikipedia for NACS and J1772 may help too. It shows what each pin does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Charging_Standard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772
  18. Connecting IPod Classic to Truck?

    As long as the correct data is attached to the music files, you can use the Ford voice control to ask "Play Styx" or "Play Come Sail Away", etc ... The Sync screen should also have the ability to list by Artist, Album, or Song Name, as long as that data was included with the music files. Some...
  19. Preparing for road trip

    Yup, sounds like you're almost there..... Forget the names for a second. The large pins under the flap on your truck are the DCFC pins. To use a NACS supercharger, the adapter sends DC current to those two large pins. There are no AC pins on the Supercharger adapter (the AC pins are the two...
  20. 12V battery replacement poll

    I chose "other" for the poll. I'll wait for gremlins or Ford app messages to start showing up then replace it. I live it a mellow climate, not too hot and not too cold which batteries seem to "like". I also put over 30,000 miles/year so lots of DC/DC converter charging and lots of time on my...
