2023 XLT SR Won't charge

[TaxmanHog]

I am writing with an update.

Truck was diagnosed today by Ford. Failed Part No. LK9Z10B689M

Online, it looks like this is described as "Drive Motor Battery Pack Charger" or "Battery Charger."

Taxman, this is what you thought when you say "onboard charger" right?

Service tech said the part costs about $2k. I see online sales of the part in the $1,300 - $1,500 range. But, the service tech confirmed that the part and service is covered under the 8 year/100k battery-ev component warranty with no deductible.

The other good news is that the part is expected to arrive tomorrow. So, that seems like a significant improvement in the parts supply chain compared to other threads I read on this forum from maybe a year ago.

Yes, this is your AC to DC converter that converts 48 amp 240v power to ~390~400v DC current.

My truck was completed at the end of the day. I’ll pick it up tomorrow.

I asked what this repair would have cost if it was not covered by the 100k EV component warranty and they said $3k. $2k for the part and $1k for the labor.

I like to share these costs so folks can consider whether an extended warranty makes sense or not. But, if I remember correctly, I think Ford’s extended warranty expressly excludes extending coverage of the EV Components beyond 100k miles.

I think the costs are also helpful in getting an idea of how much labor is involved.

Hopefully, by the time most of us hit 100k miles, someone has posted a YouTube video on how to swap out this part. I suspect it’s (1) getting to it; (2) disconnecting some electrical connectors; (3) clamping some cooling lines; and (4) putting it all back together. if so, I bet step 1 is the hard part.

Glad it got fixed so quick! I bet step number 1 on your list is having to drop the entire battery. Which would explain the labor costs. It will be interesting to see what kind of 3rd party repair shops open up as EVs become more mainstream and how the prices will compare to dealership.

Remember to share which parts were replaced once you get back from the pick-up.
