I routinely use remote start on my 22 F-150 (STX, so old-fashioned ignition key) so that the cab cools off before we get in (previously having set the blower to high before killing the ignition). With the engine already running, when I turn the key, maybe half the time the A/C continues to run...
I feel like a dolt. I've removed wiper arms from the past three F-150s I've owned, but my 2022 is baffling me. Simply levering out and holding the spring loaded clip and then cocking the arm to 90 degrees helps not a bit, it feels like the wiper arm is absolutely welded to the shaft (both...
Good day.
I have the standard A/C with manual temperature control in my 2022 STX. I have a basic question about operating the A/C: does the temperature setting determine how frequently the compressor cycles? I ask because the compressor's frozen up two or three times now*, so as a test on a...

2) Why can't I...
I'm curious if anyone has firsthand knowledge of this:

Hello all. I've seen a reference to the plastic oil drain plug FT4Z-6730-A being a one-time use part. Can anyone point me to an official Ford site/document that confirms this?
Thanks,
