  1. A/C Cycles Off Then On w/ Remote Start

    Thanks, but no, that's not it: I've got it set to the equivalent of "use last settings." I should've been more careful in my description: having started remotely, when I get in the A/C is running at its last setting, properly cooling, with no LEDs lit on the A/C controls; turning the key cuts...
  2. A/C Cycles Off Then On w/ Remote Start

    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...
  3. Wiper Arm Removal 2022 Not Easy As It Should Be?

    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...
  4. Factory catalytic converter protection

    Just wanted to add one more data point, I installed HL3Z-7222-E on my 2022 XL, no problem, no need to move (even temporarily) any lines. The four necessary holes in the frame for the 13mm bolts were there for the U-nuts. I bought from Fairway Ford Parts using my FordPass points (which is great...
  5. A/C Compressor Cycling and Manual Temperature Control

    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...
  6. Inconsistent Air Conditioning Performance

    What exactly can you do for me? Last time I took that route, I was contacted by a "Social Media Rep" from Ford (who knew absolutely nothing about the issue), and then when I reported that I'd taken it to the dealer and been told "bring it back when it's failing, that's all we can do," that...
  7. Inconsistent Air Conditioning Performance

    Add me to the long list of affected owners. I take it, since it hasn't been mentioned, that the A/C failure described in TSB 22-2089 doesn't set any kind of diagnostic code that the dealer can read (or the owner provide as proof)? If the dealers can get away with kicking the can down the road...
  8. Ghost Image in Black Paint From Dealer Logo

    Thanks for all those replies. I've got it looking a good deal better already.
  9. Ghost Image in Black Paint From Dealer Logo

    This isn't specifically related to the Gen 14 forum, but I'm hoping for help nonetheless. I stupidly bought a black vehicle here in central Florida. Besides the oven bake feature, I have a problem with it. Shortly after buying the vehicle I removed the dealer logo, and it looked okay, with a...
  10. Random ‘bong’ sound from infotainment system

    You might check your washer fluid. My 2022 has done this three times now, the third time coincided with the low washer fluid icon lighting up. Fingers crossed, it hasn't happened since.
  11. Why Door Key Use Requires Cranking?

    I upgraded from a vanilla 2010 XLT to a high-tech-even-on-just-the-XL 2022 truck, and a couple of things strike me as odd: 1) Why, if I use the ignition key to unlock the driver's side door, does the truck insist I crank the engine (it threatens to sound the alarm if I do not)? 2) Why can't I...
  12. Ford Accessories has poor customer service

    I'll do the same: I'm the one who ordered the drop-in Ford Accessories bedliner. After Discover issued the chargeback, I got a cheerful confirmation email from FA that my liner had been delivered and installed by my dealer (I wonder if I was satisfied with the installation?). Needless to say...
  13. Disable Remote Start for Maintenance?

    That's an interesting statement. Is it the case that the truck would shut its engine off -- no matter the circumstances -- in the event of a catastrophic oil loss? If yes, is that documented somewhere?
  14. Disable Remote Start for Maintenance?

    Just to follow up: with the hood open, trying a remote start from the FordPass app (1) returns the message "Your vehicle cannot be started remotely because the hood is open," and (2) sounds the very-loud-in-a-parking-garage horn three times ...
  15. Disable Remote Start for Maintenance?

    I'm curious if anyone has firsthand knowledge of this: Do Ford mechanics disable the F-150's remote start capability (via the Sync screen) prior to performing maintenance? After crawling under my truck to change the oil (totally not a problem, no need for ramps or jackstands, just slide...
  16. 2.7L EcoBoost Oil Plug Really Single-Use?

    That makes sense to me, but here's one cite: https://www.ecogard.com/service-professionals-should-be-wary-fords-plastic-oil-pans-drain-plugs/ ... and I *think* I've read that elsewhere, too, but it might be one of those cases where multiple people all reference just the one source.
  17. 2.7L EcoBoost Oil Plug Really Single-Use?

    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, Jim
  18. Ford Accessories has poor customer service

    Interesting range of experiences in this thread. I echo the original poster. Ordered a bedliner and tailgate protector on Jun 12, and, since I wanted it dealer-installed, was forced to schedule an installation appointment via the Ford Accessories web site. I selected Jun 20. Jun 20 rolled around...
