LVB EASY ACCESS JUMP/CHARGE PORT

[Itaintfastenough]

All though it hasn’t happened yet, if the LVB did Need a jump, or charge… there’s two options, either empty the Frunk for access to remove the LVB panel, or risk breaking off those twist tabs and remove the fender panel revealing the remote 12vdc posts… This is a relatively easy mod that will enable quick and easy charging, or jumping without the hassle of removing anything… It’s fused with a 5A fuse, and the parts are available from Amazon. Just thought I’d share…

Nice.

I wish I could find it, but somebody on the Mach-E site did the same thing but mounted it inside the charging door. I knew I should have bookmarked it.

Well, you just never know… who knows, perhaps Ford will one day take notice!

Nice setup. I like it!

I did something similar, but it was for a trickle charging setup. I didn’t consider the potential of jump starting.

Thanks, same concept… the “jump” would be one way, meaning “to” the Lightning… our mod would be incapable of providing the amperage needed to jump an ICE vehicle; only then would the factory 12vdc posts be needed.

Nice setup, I to would like to find a better solution that's rearward of the Frunk zone, if God forbid my trucks LVB goes T/U I can't open the frunk in my very confined garage space, I need a port further back or inside the cabin where I could plugin the pack.

I see your point. Pioneer74 mentioned someone in the MachE forum did one similar but installed it inside the carge port door area. I’ll take a look at mine later today… it may be possible to use that location as well, perhaps with a small panel mount unit… Would solve the DOA dilemma of the LVB. I like the way you think!

Do you have a post with details/pics and parts sourcing?

Let see if I can still find it.

on another note: I think those 'twist-lock' cover connectors for the left and right side covers are not really needed - I would doubt that anything would change regardless of whether they are 'attached' or not... I've run without them for many thousands of miles and have had no negative effects. Even if you didn't USE these covers, nothing would change.

I found it in a response to another members post. See entry #10 of the following thread.
