  1. Crossover for kl3z-10a687-c battery cover?

    Oh, nice - thanks! I hadn't thought of the term "blanket" for my search, I was looking for Cover like Ford calls it. This is a good avenue, I want to find some real photos of it rather than the tech diagrams but it's a start!
  2. Crossover for kl3z-10a687-c battery cover?

    I'm upgrading my H6 to an H8 battery and the upsized thermal wrap is out of stock basically everywhere. I can't imagine they are that special as they're really sized for the battery, not the truck - does anyone know of a crossover part number from one of the other vehicles that uses this same...

    Sh*t like this does make me long for real software release notes on the updates, rather than just “improved your experience” 😡
  4. 2021 Lariat 502A - Automatic headlights not coming on

    lol, glad to hear I’m not the only one! I came to the same conclusion in my reply just above yours, but I’m glad to hear it’s not some special software lottery I won.
  5. 2021 Lariat 502A - Automatic headlights not coming on

    OK, I figured it out. I think what I am seeing is not a malfunction, but rather some new behavior that was introduced in a recent update. The lights only come on when the vehicle is in drive, not in park. And I swear there used to be an indicator at all times in the lower left corner of the dash...
  6. 2021 Lariat 502A - Automatic headlights not coming on

    For what it’s worth I went out and checked and I do have a factory Motorcraft H6 battery with the tray that has plenty of room for an upgrade, so if this keeps getting worse I will look in to an H8 upgrade (I have the 3.5 ecoboost)

    Thanks mate, appreciate the insights. I figured as much and will just try and keep it either plugged in or moving more often. Too many computers!
  8. 2021 Lariat 502A - Automatic headlights not coming on

    Awesome, good to know. I just replaced the battery mat in the original size as it had deteriorated, figures. I have basically no commute, the truck sits way more than it moves. So I expect a certain amount of these problems, though I do wish there was less idle/parasitic drain than there seems...
  9. 2021 Lariat 502A - Automatic headlights not coming on

    Thanks for the tip! The truck has the factory battery in it but I frequently notice symptoms of it seeming too low. Hence why I always have a tender standing by, actually. Is there anything that needs to be done when upsizing the battery configuration-wise or is it just a direct replacement...
  10. 2021 Lariat 502A - Automatic headlights not coming on

    Went back out after dark tonight and I must be crazy, the christmas tree all lit up when I touched the handle, went for a drive, auto lamps were fine as were the auto high beams and all the zone lighting. I don’t know what the deal is. I had it on the battery tender for a few hours, maybe it’s...
  11. 2021 Lariat 502A - Automatic headlights not coming on

    This is different than the auto high beams, though I will check that later tonight - this is the rotary switch on the left hand side of the dash, when you set it to Auto there are no running lights or anything
  12. 2021 Lariat 502A - Automatic headlights not coming on

    Hey all - today I got in the truck and I saw something blink by really quick on the dash about the automatic headlights. I now see that the auto mode isn’t working - I can cycle through the other switch modes and the lights come on fine, but in Auto mode they don’t come on - no running lights...
  13. Random clicking

    Solid idea. Even if just to prove to myself that that’s what it is - I don’t really want to be without the approach feature! 🙂
  14. Random clicking

    Glad I found this thread saying this noise is "normal" even if it's weird AF. It just keeps doing it over and over when I'm anywhere near it - even if the key never leaves proximity range. Also the power running boards sometimes pop in and out irrespective of the extended 15-min timeout I have...
  15. Question on auto start/stop and battery condition

    Well, I don't know what combination of things made it happen, but we did it, people. It's been raining so much I didn't hook up the battery tender overnight, but everything is back to normal again. I guess I just need to keep an eye on how much I drive it.
  16. Question on auto start/stop and battery condition

    Thanks all, I’ve seen some of those threads too. I have a good quality tender in the garage and will try topping it up overnight and see if things are normal (for any period of time, however brief) afterwards.
  17. Question on auto start/stop and battery condition

    Well, I went and drove around for an hour or so - normal mode, highway and city both, and it still won't activate the auto start/stop. The icon comes up with the slash through it in the instrument panel so I know it's thinking about it, but is still inhibited.
  18. Question on auto start/stop and battery condition

    Thanks! I did find this elsewhere too but wasn't sure how trustworthy it was: 1. Switch ignition on, and leave the engine off. Note: Complete Steps 2 & 3 within 10 seconds. 2. Flash the high beam headlamps five times, ending with the high beams off. 3. Press and release the brake pedal 3 times...
  19. Question on auto start/stop and battery condition

    How do you recommend I do that? There are so many random threads I've seen with people doing dances ranging from "do nothing overnight" to "stand on your head while flashing the high beams and disconnecting the negative battery cable with your nose"
  20. Question on auto start/stop and battery condition

    Hey all - I noticed recently that my auto start/stop was no longer shutting off the truck (2021 F-150 Lariat 502a EcoBoost). Unlike many folks, I don’t mind this function and prefer it to be on. I hooked up my laptop with FORScan and monitored all of the SS_INHIB metrics and found that the one...
