Update failing again, 6.8.0, tired of this!

[kensiko]

Happened also last summer, could not update. I've wanted SOC on main screen for a while now and I could never get the update.

Last summer I would constantly receive notifications on my phone that the update failed. I ended up disabling the update schedule for a few months and when I turned it back on I could get some more update installed but not the one that I wanted.

Now it's back to failing again but I don't have a notification on my phone when this happens. I tried the update now button and this is what it does:

One of my recent updates kept getting interrupted and would not load. Finally saw the reason - I keep my headlights on automatic and apparently that was the cause. Once I turned them to off position the update was no longer interrupted.

Take it to the dealer.

Since you turned off updates, some updates will have timed out and been removed from the queue.

Which trim do you have? My Lariat is software switched. So while there is a dial, when I turn off the headlights, turning on the truck automatically puts the headlight mode back to on.

Ford needs to get their crap together.
Headlights off auto, or Brake regen manager can’t be on, or Auto hold can’t be on. Give us a break! Next we’ll need to purchase underwear emblazoned with Farley’s picture, and click our heels exactly at the time the screen in our trucks goes black prior to the update, and chant “Please Henry Ford, stop rolling around in your grave” thirteen times within one minute.

I can’t imagine why that would help as turning off is only for the duration of while the truck is on. As soon as the truck starts again, headlights are on.

I can't explain it either but the upload worked once I physically rotated dial to off position - actually would not have figured it out but I think during an attempted update I actually saw a notification this was the reason why it kept getting interrupted.

Personally, none of the hocus pocus worked for me. It all boiled down to replacing the 12V battery AND replacing the faulty battery module. Since then, I even got an unsolicited update during the day, outside of my scheduled day/time. I was parked at work.

I had the same issue with 6.8. I never missed an update but this one would not go. I thought maybe it was the update. I tried different things to make sure the preconditions were met. Interestingly enough about a week or so later I received a recall notice in the mail from Ford saying my 12V battery modal needed to be replaced cause it might report the wrong 12V battery health info, and could effect updates. So I called the dealer, they replaced the module and have received a few updates successfully since then.

Long story short. You might have a recall to fix the 12v battery health module.

Hope this helps.

My truck had a recall to fix this exact issue.

Check the Customer Service Program in the app. It’s under service. You may well have the battery module that needs replacement.

I had the exact same problem until I got the recall letter and took it in then after I got the 12v battery module replaced I started getting all the updates without fail.

Post or PM me the VIN and I can see why it is failing. Most likely due to unsatisfactory battery conditions.

I tried that without success, also tried this last summer several times.
