How do I know if my Ford Lightning is charging?

To determine if your Ford Lightning is charging, you can check the charge status indicator next to the charging port behind the charge port door. Additionally, if you are using the Ford Pass app, it will display the charging status. If the app shows “plugged in not charging,” it may indicate an issue. It’s also important to ensure that the mobile charger, charge station, or electrical supply is functioning properly. Here are some additional details about charging the Ford F-150 Lightning:

It can also reroute power from your truck back into your home with Ford Intelligent Backup Power when equipped with the available Home Integration System from Sunrun.

– Ford recommends working with Sunrun for home charging installation needs, but you can also use your own qualified electrician by providing the Mobile Power Cord or Ford Charge Station Pro installation specification sheet to support an installation quote. You will also have the option to purchase the Home Integration System from Sunrun.
It’s important to note that if you encounter a red circle of lights when plugged in, or if the Ford app indicates a charge fault, it may be necessary to seek assistance from a qualified technician or the dealership for further diagnosis and resolution.
