This video shows you what to do if your Ford lightning will not start.
I have owned a Ford Lightning for 6 months now with very few issues. It does an automatic update overnight, then I go to start it in the morning and my F150 lightning will not start. It's making crazy sounds and won't start eventually not responsive at all so the update essentially killed my battery, which was at 84% the night before.
Turns out all I needed to do was jumpstart my battery.
That's right the Ford lightning has a battery 12v that powers the accessories. So the update drained that battery, and I had to jumpstart my electric truck :-)

To open the frunk manually watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WzAfc4le0tc.htmlsi=doDBZw8mgrgvz_oi

Very interesting! Looks like the frunk comes really close to hitting the garage door when raised up.

@F150LightningMike Месяц назад

Yep it is close, but it definitely fits. :-)

This definitely solved my problem of a stalled truck . Thank you man!!!

Tesla’s used to go through those 12v FLA deep cycle batteries about every 12 months, but they seem to have fixed it because I had the same battery in mine for four years. Some people were getting lithium batteries from the aftermarket and now Tesla is using lithium 12v batteries with an eye to eliminating the need for them by moving the entire car to 48v. I think a lot of other companies are going that way as well. I learned not to jumpstart anyone’s car with an EV and now just have one of those jumpstart batteries instead. Much easier than maneuvering the car around anyway

@F150LightningMike 11 месяцев назад

I agree that it would be nice to move the 12v to the main battery. These jump carry things are very useful for sure.

@StrangeDisposition 11 месяцев назад

Good to know! I ordered a Pro and will trade in a Maverick. The Maverick randomly does the same thing 😪. There is a “customer satisfaction program” that will fix that though. It’s kind of like a recall with a different name. Hopefully, the Lightning has a similar fix.

@F150LightningMike 11 месяцев назад

I think several people are having problems with the 12v batteries because of how they receive a charge off of the main battery. That being said though, I haven’t had any issues since the first time I had to jump it.

I have a Ford Lightning. If I ever need to "jump" my Lightning (I am assuming all the accessories would be down telling me I need a jump?) How do you know the Juice Box has put enough juice into the 12 volt battery. With an ICE vehicle you know it worked because the engine started!

@F150LightningMike 2 месяца назад

Basically, I knew it worked because all of the accessories came back on when I attached the jump n carry. Then with the jump n carry still attached I started the truck and it acted like it always had when starting. Then I unattached the jump n carry. Then drove the truck around for a while to make sure the 12v got charged back up. Pretty much all the same stuff you do with an ICE vehicle.

@billsrelectric 2 месяца назад

@@F150LightningMike Thank you! Hope I don't need this...but twice I have seen a warning "Low Battery" when driving my Lightning. Both times were right after I used the remote climate start. So it must use the 12V to run the fans/AC ??

@F150LightningMike 2 месяца назад

Yeah maybe. I’ve heard that some people have to just get a new 12v. That may be what you need.

@TheRPhelps24 2 месяца назад

I wonder if it is really necessary to drive it around? I was under the impression there was no alrernator per se, but a step down transformer of sorts. If that's the case, then it seems you don't need to drive it around, right?

@F150LightningMike 2 месяца назад

You might be right, but my jump n carry did not actually charge it up. It just gave it 12 V so the truck could start so my thought is that it’s best to drive it around in order to make sure the 12 V battery does get charged up in case there’s an issue, also since I have done that it has been over a year and no more issues so I guess what I did was the right thing to do.

@TheRPhelps24 2 месяца назад

@@F150LightningMike I think just letting it sit there parked and "on" likely is all it takes to charge once the 12v booster gets the truck to actually start up.

@F150LightningMike 2 месяца назад

That’s a good point. As long as it’s on leaving it there is probably OK.

@rh451 11 месяцев назад

How do you open the frunk when there’s no power?

@F150LightningMike 11 месяцев назад

There is a manual release just like a gas truck on the inside of the cab.

@Stan1826 9 месяцев назад

How do you open the deriver's door if the battery is dead? @@F150LightningMike

@F150LightningMike 9 месяцев назад

With a key in your key fob. There should be a manual key lock on the drivers door. Although I saw on Facebook, somebody showed that they did not have one. I think that is a mess up in manufacturing.

@KentSwanson-ol7ht 2 месяца назад

They need a smaller battery 🤦 wounder if you couldn’t put a much larger battery 1100 cc. That battery looks like 400cc amp battery. I wounder why that didn’t design it to self jump or give it like a limp mode limiting the interior accessories until you replace that battery.

@F150LightningMike 2 месяца назад

Being able to jump itself would be a good idea.

@MatthewSerta1 9 месяцев назад

So how do you get the hood open?

@mastershaw3094 5 месяцев назад

So this starter would have to be charged prior to giving a boost , correct?

@F150LightningMike 5 месяцев назад

Yes, but I have only charged it once in the 1 year that I’ve had it. It doesn’t take a lot of its juice to jump something. Because once you jump it then you disconnect it. I plugged it back in about a month ago and it still said full as soon as I plugged it in.

@F150LightningMike 5 месяцев назад

I just used it recently to jump my Toyota Sienna. Strangely enough the lightning was easier. Here’s that video: How to Jumpstart a 2022 Toyota Sienna - Lightning Mike ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NHUFP_tuehI.html

@ARIN4UK 3 месяца назад

Works better for me to go straight to the battery!

@F150LightningMike 3 месяца назад

That’s also an option for sure, but honestly I’ve only had to do this once and since that time my battery hasn’t had any problems.

@adamsilverblatt2208 10 месяцев назад

I see a few options for the jump n' carry product. Do you have a specific link or spec for the F150 Lightning?

@F150LightningMike 10 месяцев назад

This is the exact one that I bought and it works great. There may be other good ones as well that are smaller. You really just need one that is going to give you 12v. Clore Automotive Jump-N-Carry... www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQDBNWS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

@kathrynjohnson6641 10 месяцев назад

Hi. I too am wondering about the differnt Clore jump n carry products (there's a smaller-cheaper "blue" one). I wrote to Clore and they responded that they did not have a product that could jump a lithium ion battery truck. What am I missing here? Thanks for this very helpful RU-vid.

@F150LightningMike 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment. I’ve heard of some very small ones at Costco or Amazon too that can fit in your glovebox. This is only to jump the 12v battery, which is a very similar battery to a regular gas vehicle. It runs the accessories only and Sometimes the main battery doesn’t charge it up enough.
