    Key Fob Alternatives

    Agree, I've been using PAAK exclusively since I got the Mach E almost 3 years ago. In the early days, it would generally work after a few attempts but now it works solidly about 98% of the time, and when it doesn't work, you can use the backup password/door keycode to start it. Even when it...

    Relay / contactor clicking 5x sometimes when plugging in or starting car

    This happened to me a few times last week when I plug in at work and had happened on occasion in the past. That charger has also caused the faults you mentioned, but they've always cleared without issue. I don't recall hearing that or having any issues when charging at home. Nothing enough to...

    Are Grizzle chargers trash now?

    I've had two, one for my MME for 3 years without issue and a one year old second one for a Pacifica PHEV also without issue, so they're from different lots. I have them both set to 32 A. There was a post somewhere about an issue some units had if set to the max 40 A value. Don't know if that...

    Locked Out, 12v battery isn't dead.

    It was hinted at in previous posts, but just to be clear, the leads in the front bumper are only there to open the frunk in the event the 12 V battery is dead. It does not connect to the 12 V battery directly, so you cannot use those leads to "jump" the car. If your battery is dead, the...

    Android Widget for Mach-E [Less Complex]

    Only change I would recommend would be to say "...were disabled by Ford..." to make it clear it isn't something you have control over.

    Advice Requested: solution to manage communal charger at a condo bldg

    Our work installed a two plug Zevtron charger back in 2020 that's mostly been good. You manage payment/activation through a web portal and there's also a QR code on each plug that will directly link to the site if desired. https://zevtron.com/

    So what size jump pack?

    You can open the frunk if your 12 V battery is dead using just AA batteries (you need 8 in series to get to 12 V). Those cables in the front bumper only serve to open the frunk so you have access to the battery which can then be treated like any 12 V car battery. Once you "start" the car and...

    In a pickle - 12V battery died overnight in one car garage

    You should be able to use any metal part of the car to complete the circuit as it should all be grounded. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/battery-for-frunk-release-to-store-in-bumper.4443/post-132773

    Charge Fault - Service Vehicle Soon

    Has that appeared to address your issue? Or has the fault reoccurred since?

    Charge Fault - Service Vehicle Soon

    Also looks like the same thing for this person. With a higher incidence of these issues recently, perhaps it was an issue introduced in a recent software update? https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/charge-fault.26299/

    Charge Fault - Service Vehicle Soon

    That TSB is for DC fast charging, not L2 home charging. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/tsb-22-2496-battery-not-charging-with-level-3-charger.24432/ I've also started having this fault at the charger at my work which has been fine charging my car since July 2021. It's very annoying...

    Preparing for Mach-E charging at home - preparation and installing charger

    You can certainly get underground rated wire and it's the same wire for 120 V or 240 V, but the added expense of underground rated wire will probably negate the savings of 20 feet of wire run unless you think it would save a lot of labor costs (which you could ask the electrician). Long runs of...

    Preparing for Mach-E charging at home - preparation and installing charger

    They should last a while, especially a "dumb" one since it's basically just a glorified switch. I've had a Grizzl-e unit since 2019 without issue.

    Heating system in Mustang Mach-E ?

    That's not exactly a relevant comparison. The main reason electric cars have heat pumps is to increase efficiency not heat up time. At -20 deg F or -40 deg F the coefficient of performance (COP) of a heat pump isn't going to be better than 1 which is the same at the PTC heater, it just has more...

    4.1.2 OTA pushes to Early Access Mach-E owners

    I just got this today and love the dedicated camera button, but am I missing something or did they drop the "minimize/maximize" feature for the map so you can see more of the cards?

    Actually, he'll be the only Job 1 with the button, but it will open all other Job 1 frunks except his own.

    The Mystery of the Vanishing Navigation Cursor!

    I've had that happen occasionally too. An easier way to get it to come back is to "move" the map by dragging it around with your finger to look around, then hit the "re-center" button in the top-left and it comes back.

    Electricity price increase in PA

    That's a low number but to be honest, I think it has a few factors including there was zero advertisement (at least that I saw) about the availability of the option. I just happened to Google it and even emailed PECO to ask for details about it. Second, I think a typical PECO customer wouldn't...
