Climate Start Failed - Error Message

[roddiaz1]

Update:
Yesterday I opened and closed the frunk (making sure nothing impeded the closing).
I also cycled the climate settings on the Sync 4 control panel. First on to off, then back to on. Then I changed from Auto to Last Used Settings.
After making these changes, I was able to remote start the climate. And, the heat cycled on this morning per my scheduled start time. I noticed it had missed a few days this past week.
I really doubt the frunk had any impact, but I did it anyway. I do think that the cycling the climate controls was what made this all work.
Everything is working well now.

P.S. I wish I had isolated the experiment and done the frunk operation (open then close) and tested the remote start)

Not to worry, IMHO that might have been a coincidence in my experience.
Glad you have it working to your satisfaction!

Having the same issues since a few days ago.

So it seems after my update a few days ago, or maybe for no reason at all, my remote start and departure times have broken.



TLDR; seems like the truck is going into some kind of deep sleep and not responding to remote commands after a certain period of time. If I get out and walk away and hit remote commands within a few minutes;no problem. If I wait like an hour to lock/unlock/climate, I get a failed notification.



What I’ve noticed so far:



-Two days ago I left work at 5 expecting my departure time to be working and got into a cold truck.



-The next morning at 7:40 while plugged in it was working fine for departure time.



-I left work for lunch, hitting the remote start button 10 minutes before I leave, only to get to my truck and it wasn’t on.



-I got to my daughter’s school and decided to test it after getting out and into her school. Everything worked fine.



-Head to the gym, work out for an hour, and try to remote start before I leave. Nothing.



-Get back to work, try a remote start when I get to my desk, everything is working.



-a few hours later at work i try from my desk, remote start fails. I go out and restart sync, walk away and remote start, locks, everything is working again.



-5pm comes (a few hours later) and my scheduled departure doesn’t work. I try it manually and it won’t respond.



Seems the truck “goes to sleep” after a period of time and FordPass isn’t t able to reach it.



Help.
