    Battery

    The battery voltage of 4.5 is well below the point that the battery has been damaged. I think 11.6 is the cutoff point and I would not recommend getting down to 11.6 volts - but obviously there has to be a number to have meaning. if I was you I would assume the battery is damaged and go get a...

    Gen 3 broke down with 184 miles TSB done

    I left my gen 2 2019 the first year for 3 months in the garage - no problem. The 2nd year I did it again - huge problem. The battery measured 3 volts - I put my charger on and got it up to 9 volts after a few days and gave up on it. Without any proof I blame the incident on firmware...

    Should a diode be used with a relay from upfitter switch?

    When a switch/ relay is commanded off - the sudden stop of current will result in a spike of voltage if any inductance is in the load or wiring. You are guaranteed that the the wires will have inductance - so you are also guaranteed that you will have a spike. If your load has a inductive...

    Low battery voltage?

    The “battery” voltage read on the display is actually “battery system” voltage - the battery at its terminals would never read 12 volts. A normal lead acid at room temperature just sitting there should be roughly 2.1 or 2.2 volts per cell. (12.6 to 13.2 volts). you also would not see 14.5...

I would have thought a good reason to put on a aftermarket cover was simply to make it easier to replace the fluid! This video shows how the fluid...

So your mileage may vary....but this is saying that after replacing the battery the BMS can re-learn the new battery as long as you don’t touch the vehicle for 8 straight hours. Hence, a dealer reset may only be required if this process...

    I got a chip in my windshield on my 2019 at 3000 miles - safelight said it was non fixable. I called my local Ford dealer and the shop guy recommended the installer they use - he said they don't actually fix windshields in house. He said I would save a few bucks going directly to their...
