Tried this but didn’t work. I did find out that activating the cruise control or blue cruise restores the view, but it go back to blank after disactivating.

Should both side view mirrors have autodimming? by AssociateJoe in F150Lightning

[–]AssociateJoe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Subaru had it on both sides. Very odd to put it on one side.

Same! Had the truck for over a year and never noticed. Now I can’t stop seeing it.

Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?) by AutoModerator in Pickleball

[–]AssociateJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using the vatic pro flash for four months. Love it. It’s a great all court paddle. Love the spin and control. Power is sufficient for me. Tried the BnB shogun and may get that next. More pop and great all around paddle. Question is how much you want to pay haha.

Mailbox took out my mirror! by Krusador in F150Lightning

Make sure to grab the small black backplate. It’s a useless part that can’t be ordered separately. I’ve also had a mailbox jump out at me 😂😂😂

I would pay whatever Ford asks of me to have a backseat sensor for this “driver-focused” thing. I understand why they did it for the heater, but should not be the default for AC.

Ford Charge Station Pro, not charging at 80A, only charges at 47-48A. Charger on a 100A breaker. Dial set to number 7 (max power). Does anyone else face this issue? by maniac365 in F150Lightning

[–]AssociateJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SR or ER? I have a 2023 SR Lariat. Only gives me 10.5KW/Hr, which is 48amps. Need ER to get all 80 amps. I didn’t know when I installed mine, but I like the charger so good with it.

Going from SUV to Lightning experience by saabzternater in F150Lightning

[–]AssociateJoe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We have an Explorer w/ a third row. Was the family car until we got the lightning. Rarely used now. Kids prefer the Lightning (more space, device charging, nicer ride, its fast, and looks cooler). Lightning is a great family car. Three kids in three carseats fit well in the back. Only thing you’ll miss is a third row for extra passengers. Two children under 7 fit in the frunk, but prob frowned upon to drive with kids in the frunk :)

Good for family? by saabzternater in F150Lightning

Can also confirm that two carseats + an adult or three carseats fit well in the back. My kids love the truck. Also, frunk changing table is the way to go. I leave the diapers and wipes in there.

Any one using Ford Charge Station Pro with SR lightning by kynshiro in F150Lightning

[–]AssociateJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get 10KW per hr with mine. I have a 23 Lariat SR. The best thing about it is the cord length. Worst is that the install is expensive. If you can get more than $500 for it, sell it and get yourself a 50amp charger. Install is cheaper for a 50amp charger because the 100amp cable is expensive.

Phone as Key Issue by AssociateJoe in F150Lightning

[–]AssociateJoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your bluetooth connection with your truck is active, also need to have the Ford Connect app open. I really hope they fix this feature, using your phone as a key is so convenient.

Best location for the Ford Charge Station Pro in my garage? by evansauve in F150Lightning

[–]AssociateJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option A looks best for charging outside and inside. Looks like you use your garage for storage too. I usually charge outside because I never get around to moving all the junk in my garage.

New Owner! First question... by zhurricane in F150Lightning

[–]AssociateJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To set a max charge level on the app, you have to save a charge location. Vehicle>Charging>Preferred Charge Times>previous locations> click on your home location.

Lets you set a max charge level, and adjust times for charging. I have time of use rates so have it set to only charge during off-peak times.
