  1. WTB: RH Front Fender VL3Z-16005-F (Lightning) — backordered everywhere

    So you know they changed the RH fender on the later models so it doesn't have the dummy charge port receptacle hole right? That's probably why it's no longer available in most places. On the later trucks they just have a badge on the right side (in the usual place) but no hole. Somebody else...
  2. Before You Schedule an Appointment for the Recall 25C69 (IPM) Fix -- make sure your dealer has the actual software update needed

    But its Saturday the 23rd, ....and now it is. So now you can call your service advisor and get scheduled for this. Check out the technical details, they're different than the initial version I posted. One key sentence I noticed; "If even one metal screw is present, the reversing lamp must be...
  3. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    I can tell you that from the many posts about this, and my own experience, if you go for one of the rotaries out of a 2021-2022 Bronco Sport you will definitely not get any errors. I've never had an error for the GSM module and my truck acts like it came from the factory with it installed. I...
  4. Before You Schedule an Appointment for the Recall 25C69 (IPM) Fix -- make sure your dealer has the actual software update needed

    Bump... That same notice now says a full bulletin is expected.....today 22 May. But it wasn't there when I looked.
  5. Woodgrain Upgrade + Chrome delete

    Totally agree with the "shades of gray" issue on... every. single. Lightning. Lariat. So I did this on my Atlas Blue: it's Katzkin. $1600 out the door. Proper leather.
  6. Before You Schedule an Appointment for the Recall 25C69 (IPM) Fix -- make sure your dealer has the actual software update needed

    I just now checked and that notice hasn't changed one bit. It still says it's an "Advance Notice" and also still says a remedy is expected two days ago.....(18 May 2026). So until the notice changes to a "Full bulletin" (vice "Advance") don't expect your SA to have any info on when you can get...
  7. FORD Card (or Manual) on Purchase - Keyless Entry Code

    That door code is also printed on the label attached to the BCM (Body Controller) located behind the right side lower kick panel (to the right of the passenger footwell).
  8. WSJ Article

    Paywalled.
  9. 12v battery replacement at Costco

    Return shipping seems to be the new 'penalty' retailers are imposing to make you wish you'd never purchased from them in the first place. I recently bought an upgrade kit for my Bronco and realized later I didn't need it and wanted to return it. No problem they said. It originally came shipped...
  10. Seeking Mach E info, considering buying one

    I have both a Lightning and a MME. It's my second MME in fact. I traded my '21 Prem Ext in for a '23 GT PE. I love both of these vehicles equally. I take trips in the Lightning and the MME is for around town...only because I just didn't want to deal with more frequent charging than I have to...
  11. 3rd rear light bar has water and reverse lights blinking

    We're all waiting on the recall...and parts..... If you'd like to take a look to see if your last one was replaced properly (the "inspection" part of the recall) you can do that by removing the tailgate panel (work surface) and have a look inside for little white plastic grommets poking through...
  12. F-150 Lightning AC fully discharged at 40k miles – paid out of pocket, is this normal under Ford Protect?

    This is the only issue my Lightning has had that's required a dealer visit (three times in fact). Powertrain warning for low refrigerant. And it always happened after a major overnight temperature drop (winter). Everything seems to work normally. I take it in and the refrigerant is not really...
  13. LVB Charging: Is there a way to force it to keep the battery charged?

    I have a Foxwell BT705 coming from Amazon in a couple of days and it will be interesting to see the difference between what my Lightning and Mach-E are reporting to Ford and what the tester shows. I can also use the internal resistance value it provides to estimate the useful remaining life...
  14. LVB Charging: Is there a way to force it to keep the battery charged?

    I stopped trickle charging my LVB over a year ago (I only really did it once while I was away on a trip for two weeks). I just make sure I do a BMS learned values reset every three months or so and then go for a drive (shopping, whatever). My original LVB is showing 100% SOC this morning...
  15. New Tire Offering: Goodyear Wrangler ElectricDrive AT

    I currently run the Toyo AT3 EVs. They are pretty noisy. I run them at the 42psi factory pressure and after about 5 minutes they are at 46psi from the friction. This is normal. I asked ChatGPT what were the quietest all terrain tires to replace the Goodyear MTs (factory) on my '24 Bronco and...
  16. How important is it to trickle charge the 12v?

    BMS Learned Values Reset followed by either a drive of an hour (+/-) should be done every three months or so. And yes, dealerships do let the vehicles just sit without proactively maintaining the 12V batteries in all the vehicles they have sitting on the lot. It's even worse for EVs that only a...
  17. Truck goes into "Battery Saver" mode nightly since 25C69: Fix #17

    The BMS learned values can get screwed up over time. I just do the BMS Leaned Values reset dance roughly once every three months and I'm still on my original 12V batteries in my '22 Lightning and '23 Mach-E. Both are reading above 80% on most mornings when I check.
  18. Before You Schedule an Appointment for the Recall 25C69 (IPM) Fix -- make sure your dealer has the actual software update needed

    Yeah, I don't think it was a lack of software. It was a lack of being able to pay the tech if they actually did the PCM and SOBDMC update at that time. I'm convinced without seeing your software available list that the PCM and SOBDMC updates were available the day your truck was there, they...
