Got an email from kickstarter today saying Ford did a trademark dispute. Sure took them long enough!
Mine died when the summer heat came even with the diode like everyone else unfortunately.
Really liked it when it worked though (other than first batch issues like the tail not lighting up)...
Mine is still at the dealer sitting for over a week, supposedly waiting for the HVBJB. They said they emergency ordered it from Ford but Ford wont tell them when/if they will send one. I decided not to go through the hassle of the free rental car and just drive my wife's car for now but if...
Agreed, I used to be an installer for a living and they are miles better than everything except soldering (which is a pita)
I would go a step further and say I would never use the cheap taps that were sent in the kit in my own car.
What kind of rental car did they give you? Did they cover it 100%? I'm debating if I just want to drive my wife's car for a few weeks or take the rental.
That is how the original design worked, but with the zenier diode added it pulls all power from the BCM signal wire. He has us combine the signal and power wire. I'm not sure why he didnt send 2 diodes so you could still pull power from the headlight.
Is anyone else concerned that perhaps pulling full power for the pony from the BCM could cause weird issues? I really hate powering stuff directly off signaling wires coming from a BCM or computer.
The soonest I could get in is next week but I think it being a software issue is wishful thinking.
The issue happened when I floored it on a freeway entrance ramp and now the car is having issues charging normally. when i connect it to the evse you hear the contactor in the evse opening...
How did they determine yours was definitely a hardware issue? This issue happened right after the amazon alexa update with a bunch of other issues (like its stuck in guest mode and wont let me set my driver profile). I am wondering if this could all be software glitches?
Add me to the list, same exact issue as you. Never even put the car in unbridled mode after the recall was announced. Same errors, same model, similar miles.
My car works fine it's just less top end, the torque feels the same. Should I just drive it until this part is available? I'd...
Except that is exactly what happened. go back and watch the original kick starter video, it shows a perfectly lit pony (including the tail) and you cant see a single LED. THAT outlined product was delivered to half the backers.
Does this look like a light bright?
To call going from a not...
What does what I am entitled to have to do with what makes things right? I dont see you as one of the people who got the inferior version in this thread or maybe you would feel differently.
If I was running this kickstarter I would offer the people who got the inferior version a replacement...
I really hope you do this and is all I really ask for. I backed a kickstarter so I am happy to have received SOMETHING. However, I have to be brutally honest, what I received is not what I wanted. It's not the color I asked for, it's like a light bright board, each LED is painfully obvious...
Just use a 12v battery and hold the black to the negative and the red and white to the positive terminal. Ask a friend with an exposed battery if you dont have one.
Multiple people said their LEDs are visible from up close, I find that mine are visible from any distance unless you are really far away. 50ft away I can still see individual LED's. TBH it kind of ruins the effect for me, I hope we at least get a discount to buy a proper one with the correct...
That is what has me confused, he said in the previous post those options were going to take weeks to get new molds done and work out changes to the electrical system. N
