My truck is at 44 days and counting in storage while on a trickle charger. I have fired it up 3 times to slightly charge the HVB and to reset the 'days not started' counter built into the Ford App (deep sleep sets in after 2 weeks).
A trickle charger gets my vote! The truck is not having any...
The thing I found about this happening is sometimes it can be something temporary with one of the sensors or monitors that can trip this condition that resets upon a shut down and restart. I was once accelerating hard while turning through a snowy meridian and one or both of the driver side...
You may well know, but the truck will still go into deep sleep on the 14th day even if the battery is on a trickle charger due to a built-in time limit.
My 24 (with an 12V AGM) sat for 8 days while I was hospitalized and the SoC was 47% and the voltage was at 12.27V when I put it on the trickle charger. The truck still went into deep sleep on the 14th day as scheduled before I fired it up just to reset it and let it run until it shut off on its...
As I am still not allowed to drive (I had a stroke that took away some of my vision - some or all of it may return, but only time will tell). As I mentioned before My truck sat for a week and did not go into deep sleep with the newish AGM battery installed. I put the truck on a battery...
So I was sitting eating lunch and my Ford app popped up the all to familiar “Remote features disabled…” message. I am thinking huh, it’s on a charger. Then I realize it is 2 weeks to the minute since I last drove and parked my truck. Seems it does not care if the battery is fine if the truck is...
I assume you mean 3k miles on the ICE. I looked at my average Elec vs. ICE rate which is currently a little better than 58.8% battery so 3k would only be 1764 miles using the ICE!
Well, a lot has happened in the past 12 days... The main thing for this topic is I ended up having to suddenly leave my truck unattended for 8 days. During that time, it continued to communicate with the app. When I got home, I almost immediately put it on a maintenance charger. As a reminder I...
There is often confusion between the two systems: Co-Pilot 360 and Co-Pilot 360 Assist. I have a Lariat (that includes Co-Pilot 360 Assist) and I use the 'intelligent' adaptive cruise control almost daily. We have lots of 4 way stops close to home. During rush hour it works great keeping the...
The only concern I would have is make sure there have not been any changes to the camera(s) and sensors behind the rearview mirror (I don't think there have been any changes through the model years).
I ran into a windshield supply problem with my Saturn Vue a few years ago and like you the...
I decided I wanted a Maverick in April 2023 I was told it would be at least a year. The only one they had on the lot was a white plain jane XL with a Trifold that someone passed on. I hesitated and someone bought it. I was glad they did as I wanted more options. I ordered a Lariat and waited. I...
Mine did the same thing for months until I put in a new AGM 12V battery. Everything including the passenger keyless entry returned to normal after adding it!
If you are referring to the 12V drain issue as the reason for the messages in the Ford app and the keyless entry not working on the passenger door then yes, very likely.
After I put a new AGM battery into my truck the keyless entry on the passenger door started working again as did a lot of...
I remember when cars had real bumpers, you could strap an old tire to the front of the push vehicle and push the broken-down car to where every it needed to go!
The chip shortage did not affect the telecommunications modem in the truck.
The only modem they cut out because of the chip shortage was the one that allowed your truck to be used as a hot spot. I was not interested in this anyway because I have a good wireless plan and my phone can connect my...
What this means to me is they identified this "Fix" back in Feb (in the first quarter as they alluded to in the previous service bulletin). They incorporated it into the new builds starting in Feb and as a test. I will probably just wait for my next oil change, but I would not hesitate to get it...
This thread reminds me of the time my ex-wife called me to tell me her car had broken down in the middle lane at the base of a major bridge.
I asked her do you have the kids? - No
She wanted me to come and help... I told her call a tow truck and stay inside the car, there was nothing I could...
I know I have seen the option buried in one of the menus but mine is unchecked and I assume if you check it you also have to tell it what company to share it with. I have never been asked if I would like to opt in here in BC Canada so I don’t think they care.
