If you don't mind putting your location in your profile, you may be able to get some help locally. There's a 0.000001% chance that we are neighbors and I can try to help, but at least there's a chance....
The Deutsch connector is placed behind the solid part of the bumper under the frunk tub where it is wired to the new CCM connector that plugs into the CCM. This allows you to remove the bumper that now has the new CCM bolted to it easier than trying to remove the CCM connector since you can...
This is what I would go with. No Velcro for the hay/straw to get stuck to and you just roll it up to get the entire bed access (minus a tiny bit for the roll), no need to remove anything.
I am wondering if anyone can help me with this mod.
If I remember correctly, I had to change this IPMA value to "radar camera fusion 110-degree" or something like that to activate my LKA/ACC addition to my 2024 Lightning Pro (ER, max tow, tow tech, 360 camera... NO park assist and no front...
If it was me, I wouldn't remove the current wires in the IPMA plug (pictured) but I would use a wire tap into each and run your new wires to the CCM plug. Removing those current pins and then inserting new ones into the IPMA plug is inviting problems and frustration. And who knows if they are...
No need to be sad, this is where you are adding the pins and wires, into that black harness. Then you run those wires to the new CCM connector. Add in the deutsch connectors along the way to aid in disconnecting for maintenance. Then Forscan your changes. Then you have ACC/LKA!
When you opened the door, the shifter tried to move into park. Sounds like it was either blocked from doing that or the mechanism that moves it got borked along the way. In this order, I would try:
I would see if the shifter can be moved while your 12-volt is disconnected.
The try to move the...
100% yes.
Mine is a 2024 Pro, no parking sensors. The ACC/LKA works with the new CCM (radar) and the existing front camera.
The forscan programming tells your truck modules that the new CCM is there and tells the IPMA to integrate the CCM and camera to allow the feature. The other module...
Correct, skip purchasing the bumper harness and make your own 4-wire harness from the IPMA (driver side module under the dash) to the new CCM. I think it is probably easier running your own new wires than trying to deal with replacing the bumper wiring harness.
Like @dr1983 says, use the...
A friendly rebuttal:
If you feather the accelerator pedal (don't lift your foot completely off) you can modulate the amount of braking applied by the 1pd. You can still "coast" in 1pd by finding the sweet spot in the accelerator. Sounds difficult but it became second nature within about the...
Same here.
I occasionally drive an old stick shift Toyota truck at work and my wife's ICE Highlander.
Zero issues transitioning from 1pd to the stick shift. It's too different of an experience to get confused.
Usually the first time I let off the gas pedal in the Highlander and realize that I...
Didn't feel picked on, all good.
ID, MT, and ND are pretty much worse case scenarios for EV road tripping. Just wanted to show that it's still possible in the Lightning... With proper planning.
I did a round trip from Western WA to East-Central ND. 3300 miles round trip. Not necessarily "through" ND, but drove around plenty while I was there. It was autumn, so temps were reasonable and not crazy ND winter cold.
Hotel had a level-2 charger which made it possible to day trip and stay...
I think due to the cold and the 120 volt charging, the low power added 7% charge, but the cold lowered your GOM range by 2 miles because the battery got colder, so your range addition was -2 miles.
Level-1 charging doesn't provide enough power to warm the battery and charge at the same time.
Yup, dust.
I took my 2 week old Lightning on a hunting trip to North Dakota in Oct. Hadn't rained in 56 days according to the landowner. All of the roads and fields were moon-dust.
When I removed the trim panels and frunk to add the ACC and LKA, everything looked exactly like your picture.
A...
To me it sounds like you are taking the best approach possible. I would be doing the same thing.
If your salesperson comes back with a "There's nothing we can do" answer, I would probably try to push a little harder one more time. If that didn't get any traction, I would resign myself to...
