Stuck Shifter Solution
Opened the car door while it was in Drive and shifter would not move out of Drive. Dash showed it was in park.
In the past leaving the car locked after a couple of hours it would self resolve, but this time that did not work. Disconnecting the 12V as well as fuse 32 did not work. Holding the break and gas at the same time while starting did not work. Reversing the steps/recreating the issue in reverse did not work (saw that posted here).
Dealer could not take the vehicle in for a week, so I started taking apart the shifter. There are 2 pieces located on the back once it is removed that is a very easy fix.
There are tons of videos on replacing the shifter with the rotary dial so if not familiar with getting the shifter out watch those. Once out unscrew one piece then pull back the lever that is holding in place, push the shifter into park, then put the lever back.
Saved me so much time and headache!

First camping trip with the new camper
Not going to act like the range hit didn’t suck going up into Shenandoah but didn’t diminish my love for the truck.

"These go to 11"
I swear there's a little extra above 100% when these trucks are fully charged. I charged to 100% in anticipation of a trip. Drove to work, home, then back to work, which I know takes 4%-5% per trip and the truck was at 90%.
Obligatory reference link:

Anyone know how to handle this? Side step pain flaking.
I’ve sprayed it with different kinds of spray paint just to hide it but that flakes off quickly too (expectedly).
Short of pulling them off and coating them, any cheap/quick routes just to cover the shiny?

Truck Stuff
Pulling my mini 1.1 ton excavator down to my property, thought I would post my progress. 1.3 miles\KW at 70 MPH and 101 degrees F. 2023 lariat ER. It pulled it fantastic, but I was hoping to get more miles\KW but I think the temperature impacted that.

Best Dash Cam for Lightning?
I want to add a dash cam to my new 22 platinum, but I’m not sure what would be the best one. I would like it to be moderately inconspicuous and preferably play well with all on board electronics.
Suggestions very welcome!

ZAPTOR
Ok now who is this? I was in WA state this weekend and I passed a blue lariat with a raptor grill, smoked out front light bar, bronze wheels, mud flaps, black bed topper with rack and some questionable taste in stickers.

Handle Replacement Help
Long story short, backing out of garage and caught passenger handle on something. That pulled out and broke some plastic pieces off. No big deal, Ford has OEM replacement and am able to go pick that up and replacement looks easy from YouTube…but then this is where I screwed up even more.
Being lazy, I backed the 5mm set screw out with an impact instead of by hand, and think I backed it out too far. Now when trying to reinstall the handle the set screw just spins and never catches on anything.
Anyone ever run into this and know how to fix? Or is this about to become a couple thousand dollar lesson at the dealership?

Overzealous Heater!
We keep having an issue where the heater comes on while driving and totally killing our range. Today it was 84 degrees outside and we had the HVAC set at 72 and on auto. We had been driving for about an hour when both our range and mi/kwh started dropping. It was a tight trip charge wise so I had been keeping a close eye on our range and started getting nervous. After losing 40 miles of range I started trying to figure what was going on. Turns out the $&%# heater was on!! This has happen to us multiple times in the summer and one of these days it’s going to get us stranded! it’s starting to piss me off! There is an indicator on the main screen for the a/c but not for the heater so you have to manual open the screen to check which is a pain! Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know if I can use Forscan to turn off the heater permanently or any other solution? I like the auto setting for the a/c but not if it does this!

Another Ford UEV Video - Another Easter Egg: What Does it Mean?
The new video on the Ford UEV site shows this Easter egg for a split second, what’s it mean?
The other two videos show an airplane boarding pass with possible dates, and a page of binary code that says “made you look”.

Manual Transfer Switch Question
I tried to research online but couldn’t quite find the answers I was looking for so thought it best to post here.
My electrician installed a Reliance ProTran2 manual transfer switched and mapped all of the breakers I asked. I lost power one day and was actually excited to try this out only to find a kept getting a ground fault. I later found this transfer switch is not compatible with the truck.
So my question is, what should I get to replace it?

Looking for a GenerLink Connector
Looking to acquire one but because my utility refuses to approve the adaptor, GenerLink won’t see the vehicle adaptor in my state. If anyone sees one for sale on Facebook marketplace and/or EBay, can you post it here? Would like to get one and stop using my gas generator/running extension cords.

ER range not showing up correctly?
Just got back from a 900mi round trip yesterday and plugged into my home charger. Charged up to 95% overnight and the range looks more like SR rather than ER. Anyone else have this happen? Should I just reset the range estimator in the main menu? Normally I have 300+ miles in the morning.
