My truck had a 12V battery issue and it was replaced. During the problem but now after replacement the truck and charger aren't communicating properly. Oh yeah, and at the same time I changed my wifi from an Orbi Wifi 6 mesh setup to a Deco Wifi 7 mesh system. During this time, the home location doesn't show up in the Ford app, the truck doesn't automatically heat up before leaving for work and when I plug it in it charges to 100%. I've looked at the setup and changed the wireless, but still the same thing. Should I just reset the charger - an option in the charger app and then reconnect it? Or is there another simpler solution.

The wifi connection doesn't play a roll in change limits and preconditioning.

Go into your charge locations in the truck and delete your home location and set it up again. I would also delete your preconditioning schedule and redo that as well.

And I would do that in the truck, not in FordPass.

Thank you!!!! I will give it a try.

Edit: the home location, in all the 12v issues and work done "clearing out" the electrical software,, had been deleted. I had tried to add it in the app before - no go - but in the truck it added just fine. I deleted all the preconditioning times and added them back in. Thanks. You folk saved me a LOT of time and frustration.

The charge station issues are related to your home network, I'd do a master reset of the FCSP from within the cabinet.

A humble plea for many of us less sophisticated viewers. When using abbreviations, please consider spelling out what they are in the initial post. Many of us are simply unfamiliar of the less common abbreviations. Thanks.
