12 volt status and google maps

[stevenschwartz]

OK, obviously totally unrelated to each other. We were away for 2 weeks and the car sat for that time. I had checked the 12 volt before we left and it was at about 90%. After 2 weeks at home, I'm not sure what it is. The Ford website now seems to say 50%, but that amount is also suspiciously close to the amount of charge on the HVB. Has the website stopped reporting the 12V charge? I go to Ford.com, signing, and look at owner account ... It it is in fact 50%, I'm not sure why it is not charging when I drive which I did yesterday and today.

On a completely different note, with the latest update to Android auto, google maps no longer is able to load. Anyone else had that?

The website changed and now it shows the HVB.

No more 12v

Thanks - I had that feeling. Annoying that that was done w/o and warning. I guess the only way to see the 12V status is to plug in the voltmeter. I don't think I want to go to that level of thinking about the car.

The only other way is to call the Ford helpline and ask..

PS: Anyone else had problems with google maps? They do seem to load on my jeep under android auto. That app just had a huge update, and one is never sure which end is the problem.
