  1. Replaced 12V and cleared BCM but still getting app error

    Hi there, I was getting an app error saying that I needed to check my 12 V battery system and even my shop said I needed a new battery. I replaced it with an H7 and reset the BCM but still showing the error. What should I do?
  2. 2nd Motorcraft battery dead in 3 year span

    Hi everyone, just curious if anyone has had a similar experience. I have a 2022 3.5L that had battery issues and a subsequent replacement in late 2023. The replacement was done by Ford with a motorcraft battery. Everything has been fine since then until today. My battery seems to be dead again...
  3. Front Camera Fault + Pre Collision Sensors Not Working After Ambient Light Install

    Hey guys, so I just finished getting some ambient lighting installed in my truck and I am seeing a couple warnings on my dash. Tried driving the truck around for a couple days and they still haven't cleared. Unplugged the front battery and tried clearing with a OBDII scanner, still nothing...
  4. Approach Lighting Randomly Turns On 14th Gen F150

    Morning Folks! I have a repetitive issue with my approach lights turning on while driving and when truck is parked turned off and fob is 20yds+ away and inside.

  5. 2022 F150 5.0 Battery Drain?

    I purchased a 2022 F150 with a 5 L engine a few months ago and I’m noticing battery drainage. I took it to two different dealerships and one discovered that the caps on the battery were popping up. Both dealerships tested battery and said that is fine. One dealership condemned the alternator and...
  6. Powerboost - 12V Battery Drain things to think about

    As someone who has been at war with his 21 powerboost and finally solved the issues related to battery drain (fingers crossed!). I wanted to share with others some things to consider if your truck is entering deep sleep, remote functions disabled, 12 V battery low warning, approach lighting...
  7. My "Charging System Service Now" Adventure

    Whats up guys. Just wanted to add to the information here on this Thread. I have a 21' XL 5.0. I've been going through a journey with my battery/charging system on this truck. Truck is under warranty with Ford ESP until 2028 or 125,000 miles. About 6 months ago I installed a subwoofer system...
  8. Power for 12 Volt Dashcam, 2024 F150 PowerBoost

    Hi all, a search through the forums hasn’t turned up much information on this subject so I‘d appreciate anyone’s experience. I have a BlackVue 970X dashcam, which requires 12V not the more usual 5V USB, so solutions like the Dongar adapter are out. Next step would be to hardwire to the fuse...
  9. 12 VDC Battery State of Charge (SOC)

    I have a 2022 F150 SuperCrew XLT 302A 4x4 5.0L 3.31 with 400W inverter and push button ignition. Is there a way to check the 12 VDC battery % charge level from the screens (instrument cluster or 12" display) in the cab of the truck or the Fordpass app? I believe the digital gauges (coolant temp...
  10. Battery Help

    2023 XLT PB with 1700 miles. Having battery issues with messages like "System Off To Save Battery" and Ford Pass app says "deep sleep" mode and will not lock/unlock or remote start from Ford Pass app. From what I've read it's worth skipping the dealership and just purchasing a battery myself...
  11. 2023 F150 Powerboost Charge System and Lighting

    Hi new to the Forum and hoping I am posting this in the right spot. I have a New 2023 F150 Powerboost with less than 2k miles. I am getting the “Service Charge System” Alert when starting the truck. And I also noticed that the welcome lights and courtesy lights are not coming on when approaching...
  12. Truck constnatly has 12V low battery warning...

    I get the warning upon start everytime. I think it actually prevents the app from remote control lock or unlocking it too. I had the dealer replace the battery, same issue is back a few months later. Any ideas out there? this is so frustrating!
  13. Handheld Vacuum

    Anyone have a good handheld, battery powered, vacuum they use in the truck in between using a "real" vacuum? If you read the reviews they all suck, err well they don't that well, haha. I don't mind dragging the shop vac out after washing the truck, but looking for something easier in between...
  14. Frequent deep sleep gone for now ... am I in the clear?

    Purchased a used 2022 PB. Little over 1 yr old, 35K miles. As soon as I linked my FordPass account, I noticed the truck went into deep sleep mode, even after test driving it. I asked the salesperson about it and they weren't familiar with why. After owning the trucking for a few weeks, I...
  15. Solar for Hybrid Battery?

    Im sure many of you are thinking I'm attempting to drive this truck off of solar or something, not exactly. What I am trying to do is make it more efficient by keeping the hybrid battery topped off. I would mostly use the battery in two way. The first and mainly, is by extending the generator...
  16. Possible to draw from battery without engine turning on?

    Is it possible to disable the engine from turning on but still draw from the 1.5kwh battery? The reason I ask is because I intend to install a wedge camper on the bed and sleep in it while at campgrounds or when boondocking. I want to keep my dometic fridge and some other small electronics...
