Yeah I checked yours again this morning and saw the success, that's great to know you did the hook up, will hopefully help others. I like that it tells me in the OTA dashboard that battery charge was the issue, but Ford needs to make the user aware of that somehow. Either saying that the vehicle battery is at low charge so maybe take a 20 minute freeway drive, or to hook up a battery tender. I know it's Ford, and they want to make the vehicle ownership experience simple and people might get freaked out by the message, but the alternative is like your case where it won't apply but you don't have a clear understanding why unless you take it to the dealer or in your case were active in a forum where someone can check it. The average F-150 owner won't have that and will sit at a dealership just to be told, maybe, since it assumes the tech even looks, that the vehicle needed some charge.

No, my hood was closed. I'm not 100% certain this is a requirement but I threw my Battery Tender under the hood and closed is tight. I was worried having it open would delay the update also.

Thank you for this. Do you see any other updates available? I've been doing all of them via FDRS since OTA doesn't want to play.
