Ya in normal ICE cars when the battery is dead to that point youd get a rapid clicking with all the lights on the flashing. Since there is no starter all you get is the lights all on.
I was assured in no uncertain terms on this very forum that only California-based EV automakers produce cars that have issues in cold temperatures. Shocking that this proved to be incorrect.
This is exactly why I’m up Ford’s customer service line multiple times a day right now. Could have had my car to me Saturday before the Arctic blast. But now it sits on a lot for another week in Ice and snow....and that’s after a month sitting idle in normal transit. I’m just stubborn enough to make this a big deal...for them.
That’s a good point, if the 12V is having a hard time holding a charge for whatever reason, wouldn’t the high voltage battery be draining itself unusually fast trying to keep it charged up?
Not aware of one, unfortunately.
It's a very tiny load compared to actually propelling the vehicle down the road. It would drain faster but probably not noticeably faster. The DC-DC is on whenever the ignition is on, as that's the BEV equivalent of an alternator. The question as you say is when does the DC-DC wake up when the ignition is off to check on the 12V.
Have no idea, but it does remind me of the time I took my 96 Ford Contour V-6 into the Ford dealer. It would cut out intermittently, but briefly with many red warning lights flashing. I described the problem to the service manager while the car was in the inside drop off area. He walked over to the car and wiggled the battery cable which was loose. He had a mechanic come over and add a small wire between the battery post and the cable, tighten it up and said, No charge, have a good day! When computers and electronics do not have the proper voltage power supply all sorts of strange things happen. Here is to hoping they find the problem and that it is something simple. Hoping my MME will ship soon.
Two: there is one in the center bin and one in the rear.
