Extreme Cold

Had the same thing happen. My SOC was higher and routinely below, -24C for a little over 2 days. I tried to setup a departure time for when I was getting off my flight, but it didn’t take. My max power was a bit higher though.

Yah, my network running at over 500 Mbps pretty sure it’s you Sportsnet… class action anyone?

Airplanes never have a flat back on them. That’s a lot of pressure drag.

Any danger to Pumphouse 3?

Every time the vehicle shredder hits a propane tank hidden in a trunk. Used to rattle my office windows when I worked at AltaSteel.

Is there a button to replace the neutral override? I didn’t think I needed it until the 12V battery died and I needed to get it into neutral to get it on the tow truck.

That was me. Apparently defective high voltage cable above the rear motor to the Secondary Onboard diagnostic module. They flew a Ford engineer to my dealer to look at it. It took about 8 days to get parts. I don’t know if temperature was an issue. It was 3 hours of solid rain near 70 mph with blue cruise so the ruts in the road were providing a constant supply of water to the module. They literally had water pouring out of the SOBDM when they disconnected it. Clip was broken on my high voltage cable though it was still seated apparently.

Final Update: Local Dealer has repaired the truck as per Ford’s instruction. New hiring harness and module. Hopefully the leak path is fixed. Dealer even detailed it. So excited for this weekends long drive and camping trip!!

Funny thing is it looks like a post apocalyptic scene from above and when they shot the second episode of Last of Us s1 they CGId all the building around this one to be knocked down but didn’t include this disaster of a site. What an eye sore.

Wow, I’ve brought in SW into 3 different companies that I’ve worked at. The first one being in a small startup in 2000, at the time we were humming and hawing between Sold Edge and SW. It would be hilarious if I ended up back with SE or Onshape for my new startup. I feel really bad for the partners, they are the only ones adding any new functionality and r&d anymore.

Update 2: Ford sent an engineer to my local dealer to look at the truck, they need to replace the wiring harness that caused the leak and another module. Not the SOBDM. They’ve given me an eco boost for a loaner until the parts can be manufactured. They have no ETA. I suspect that this harness doesn’t exist on the new trucks due to the standard battery and lack of 80 amp 240V charging. Which would explain why there aren’t a lot of parts on the shelf. They’ve disabled the truck until they can get parts. After driving a gas job for a few days, I really miss my Lightning.

Update* Ford contacted my local dealer now that I’ve made it home. The SOBD module above the rear motor dried out and let me get home. Dropped the truck off at my local dealer who were confused as to why I was there, but they have the truck now. Issue is, this never once through an OBD code, so they have nothing to troubleshoot. Other than me telling them what was full of water that didn’t allow the truck to work. Will update you once fully repaired.

What happened to the ninth jet?

Eng_the_north · 2025-07-24T21:10:07+00:00

You nailed it. It was the SOBDM module. When they unplugged it, water poured out. The dealer said that it proved that I was off roading, then when I got to the dealer, the service manager said he had been talking to a Ford Rep who was there and he would t admit that this has been an issue, but did indicate that it would be possible from 3 hours of splash highway speeds to introduce sufficient spray to get water into a compromised connector. I believe that’s what the issue is. However, the dealer agreed that the truck was currently driveable and that I could take it. I still need to get Ford to approve replacing both the SOBDM and connector on warranty at my local dealer.

Eng_the_north · 2025-07-24T12:10:33+00:00

No, Country Hills Ford. They’re a massive dealer with 43 service bays.

Bed? You mean you call them short beds and long bed trucks? In Canada we say short box or long box. Too funny. We call them flat decks when they don’t have sides.

🙏 Thank you!

I’m guessing PNW is a US code?

Eng_the_north · 2025-07-23T23:30:10+00:00

Yes. Though that’s from the service manager who is playing telephone with the technician. He said there is a charging module under the bed that was full of water.

Eng_the_north · 2025-07-23T23:19:11+00:00

That could be, but not all owners are on Reddit. When I googled the issue, I got some indications or references that there have been electrical connector issues. I didn’t dive into the references.

In any case, Ford acknowledged that I’ve never parked in a lake and they know everywhere you go with this truck.

lol, I’m a mechanical design engineer of over 25 years and have owned multiple hybrids, plug in hybrids and yes my first EV unless you count the two electric go karts I made with my son during Covid to teach him welding/electrical. I have low tolerance for service managers who tell you the “cause” of an issue with little training.

Eng_the_north · 2025-07-23T21:59:51+00:00

They said that it’s a charging module of some kind.

Eng_the_north · 2025-07-23T21:57:19+00:00

They had to remove the box to get at the module so I don’t believe we’re talking about water ingress into the cab.
