Nice day, tore apart the frunk again. Pulled Fuse F72 to simulate dead/low 12V LVB. At the bumper emergency release red/black wires - Jump pack with override does work, small 12V lead acid battery does work. 9V battery (double checked with power supply does not work). When the process...

I vaguely remember someone saying that Genie overhead boxes can only hold so many user codes. Cannot find that post to give the OP credit. I tried so many times, watched the Ford videos, tried what folks said worked here, nothing! It did not work. Today, remembering that post, held down the...

I do not remember the details, but there is a scene in Indiana Jones where someone is going to engage him in sword fight (or, something like that), and he says ah hell, and pulls his pistol and shoots the attacker. Well that is the situation with the alternate electrical bumper frunk release...

Does this look legit? After seeing a reference to the WSM (work shop manual) in another thread, I did a google. This might be a good read? 2021 MUSTANG MACH-E REPAIR MANUAL 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E repair manual Premium Edition(pdf), GTIN: In stock $149.99 On further study => hmm, It...

The 12V LVB battery problems seem largely solved by software and/or warmer temps (probably mostly the software fix). Eventually, there will be dead 12V batteries, and I have been thinking about what to store in the bumper to pop the frunk. There was a lot of talk of a 9V battery. Looking at...

I noticed this 12V LVB negative terminal sensor when making some current measurements. It is in a good location to make an inline "current shunt" current measurement and/or temperature. No idea what it senses. Is anyone familiar with this part, or have access to our MME wiring diagrams...

I was looking around a little and gently pulling off some panels with trim tools. Wouldn't mind having a look with bin completely out, if it's not to destructive. I am back to thinking about 12V LVB start cables in the bumper if there is a clear path. It would be a lot easier to safely route...

I took a first look at 12V LVB starting current today. There are certainly a lot of possible variables including seat heat, wheel heat and climate settings, not sure yet how important those are. Also, the headlights coming on might be a dominant load. Anyway, what I am seeing on the negative...

Almost universally, people in parking lots open with, "Is that the new Mustang?" It feels like that question should be part of a Ford media advertisement.

I just kept going to a nearby parkway and just drove. The parkway (kind of rural) was so smooth, even with some cross wind, I could not believe how quiet and smooth the ride was, not bouncing at all. It didn't help that I got my first thumbs up from a women on a sidewalk in town. Cranked up...

This is my first Ford, so no experience with local or regional Ford dealers. I found my FE GB downstate (a declined FE order), where the dealer was great, but too far away for service. I have been looking into service, to have a plan incase something terrible goes wrong. I went by my local...

Another sample of the charge station graph and more granular Sense energy graphs. Interesting the way the MME charger digitally ramps up over a minute or so. (yellow is the solar array). Other stuff in the home is on/off during the precondition, so some of the superimposed boxes are...

What are people seeing for TPMS accuracy? My TPMS readings were 39 39 39 38, but my best gauge (TBD I guess) read 36 to 37. I set all four to 39 by going to 39.5 on each, then tapping my air release button until I got 39 psi, so at least they were all inflated the same way. Now I get 41 41 41...

Someone suggested setting a daily departure time precondition schedule to solve the 12V battery discharge problem for now (MME wakes up to heat or cool the cabin and charges 12V as needed), so I set 7am every day. Here is my first look from Chargepoint flex 48A, 11 kW (31F at 6am, unheated...

The cruise control has some quirks, but the overall design approach is excellent. None my previous EVs with adaptive CC let you fall back to regular cruise if something went wrong with the front sensors (dirt, snow, etc). We have: selectable Cruise Control (just maintains a constant speed)...

There are two different speed tolerance settings. The ranges seem backwards to me. This is a warning setting: Settings: Driver Assistance: Speed Limit Assist: Tolerance 0-5 mph is the tolerance above speed limit sign for the flashing sign warning. This causes the car to follow the...

The one pedal driving (OPD) is so much like Gen 1 Volt. I really missed Gen 1 Volt in "L", and now have it back! Also, I like traction without tire squeal, put all the power into moving the car. Gen 1 Volt was like that, by Gen 2, tires squealed. I can see how some want to burn rubber, but...

Last trip was about 100 miles 20s or so. 100% charge, I think the guess pre-drive following that last drive (for this one) was 161 miles / 100%. Goal was to take soc down to below 90% to test my charging limit. At 35.7 miles (way past the destination grocery store), 55 minutes, 50F, local...

200 mile drive home. Set up Ford Pass and checked out LuieBluey on the lot, but did not set up Plug & Charge (have accounts at all the charge companies from past EVs). Poughkeepsie to Albany fine, started with 86%. No/Go (an hour while on the phone with EA) for at least 6 cords at EA DCFC...
