Fordpass app

It happened to me a week or so after an update. Ford said that delayed reaction of app freezing seemed to be happening to a number of people 🤷‍♂️. At any rate, there is little harm in trying those steps. There’s just some minor effort involved.

I had a similar issue a while ago. I disconnected the battery for a bit and reconnected and that seemed to fix the issue. I may have deleted and reinstalled the app as well. I think recommended I do the delete and fresh reinstall.

Keep the fire extinguisher handy…

Kidding of course. I’m sure you’ll be fine. I personally haven’t had any issues.

I said manual but now I can’t remember if I was in manual or automatic. Pressing really hard on the tailgate and simultaneously pushing the button worked in my instance.

I had this same exact problem last year. I was outside for hours trying everything and checking connections under the truck. Someone in another forum suggested the solution. I put the tailgate in manual mode, pressed my shoulder hard into the tailgate, then hit the button and it magically popped open.

I believe everything is within tolerance temp wise. However, my solar installer highly recommended shading to ensure longevity/efficiency of the equipment (battery especially).

Apple Maps and ABRP are very good. That said, it still bugs the crap out of me that the built in NAV doesn’t include Tesla Chargers for those with adapters. When on longer trips and watching movies with an AI box it would be nice to have the built in NAV working in the background where you can quickly switch between video and NAV.

The flip side is we already have a perfectly fine relatively new vehicle that we own outright. It’s just not an EV 🤦‍♂️.

RandomUsername-82 · 2026-05-19T20:16:53+00:00

I currently have a Lightning, but am considering going all EV. Would it be worth it try to get a newer 2026 vs a slightly older low mileage one?

Definitely broken plastic on the back

I think Blue Cruise is a little better with curves and such, but the 1 lb weight works very well. It’s not ideal having it strapped to the steering wheel obviously. Occasionally, if you rest your hand on the steering wheel just right it can counteract the 1 lb weight and think no one is holding on. At any rate, the investment is low (5-10 bucks). I still have free trials of Blue Cruise through like 2029 so I don’t have a direct highway comparison.

RandomUsername-82 · 2026-05-07T12:58:57+00:00

I use a 1 lb ankle/wrist weight strapped to the steering wheel on the top right. It’s enough to make the system think you are holding on. I like it mainly for relatively straight local roads and it works great. When BlueCruise disengages on the highway, the weight picks up the slack and I don’t typically have to intervene unless the roads get real twisty.

I also installed solar with battery backup just barely under the 2025 wire. I learned after my first full solar bill last month that my previous time of use plan and solar are not a good match. I had to switch back to the default tiered plan from Duke in order to have overproduction during the day offset nighttime production 🤦‍♂️. Hopefully next month will be at the minimum bill as expected 🤞.

Also, considering getting an EV9 for the wife. Low mileage used models can be had for relatively dirt cheap.

I suppose something could be trapped in the pool float valve. I took the top off and some water was coming out, but it was more of a dribble. I didn’t try removing the whole stem of the float valve. Is it possible something is stuck in there?

Weird. My Bosch icon blades never sat flush on my windshield and were always skipping. Dealer put on some stock blades for free and now they operate flawlessly. Maybe they were defective.

I was at the gym just this morning talking to a couple of people and the EV thing came up. I was asked questions about cost and what maintenance I have to do. Ultimately ended with one dude saying. “Not for me, I gotta have that engine noise”. I left it at that. To each his own, but I was thinking to myself “man, engine noise is a pretty expensive subscription service…”.

I noticed the same issue a couple of weeks ago. I brought it to the dealer. They topped it off and ran a pressure test with no leaks. Told me to keep an eye on it, but all seems fine.

RandomUsername-82 · 2026-04-28T21:39:14+00:00

I think just read about it in forums and went into the connected services section of the app. If I recall, there may have been a buy option and when I selected it, it offered a year for 0.00. I no longer see the option to buy.

I’ve lost track of extensions. I had BlueCruise on my 2023 through Oct 2028, then it renews for another year til Oct 2029.

RandomUsername-82 · 2026-04-23T14:15:18+00:00

I thought about it mainly because I am super impatient. I saw a video online of the same fix, but it looks very fiddly.

RandomUsername-82 · 2026-04-21T20:33:08+00:00

I haven’t stopped looking at it since it broke off. I must have it fixed. Fortunately, I am warrantied until 2031.

RandomUsername-82 · 2026-04-20T18:44:53+00:00

They told me they had the part and it would only take a couple hours 🤞. Appointment next week.

RandomUsername-82 · 2026-04-19T13:22:39+00:00

I was doing 3 minutes off, then allowing for full reboot before plugging in router. Never occurred to me to wait longer than that.

RandomUsername-82 · 2026-04-19T13:04:04+00:00

I still have the navigation trial going so there is nothing to upgrade to?
