I got this same alert this morning upon turning on the truck "Electrical System Drain Service Required" i do not have any after market devices installed. Wondering if i should i ignore and see if it comes back, or should i bring the truck into a dealership for service. Will call dealership to see what their recommendation is.
Electrical System Drain
I received my '22 Ford Lightning on 10/7/22. By that evening, I was receiving an error on the dash and via the Ford Pass App: "There is an electrical drain in '22 Lightning, pssibly caused by after-market device(s). If that's not the case, please schedule service soon." I only had the truck for 1/2 a day so no after market anything has been added.
I took the truck in and after 5 days of diagnostic work, they decided the "Gateway Module" was defective and needed to be replaced. Ford engineers were consulted during the process. The part is currently unavailable anywhere and on backorder with no anticipated delivery date.
I had them reassemble my brand new truck and said I would live the 2kWH drain per day until I could get a new module as they gave me no other options. However, during the process of working on the truck, the Frunk latch was damaged and now needs replacement. That new part appears to be available and should be in this week.
No one seems overly troubled by this turn of events and the priority of getting my truck fixed is uncertain at this point. I've owned the truck for 11 days with 7 of them in the shop and 2 of them with a Frunk alarm dinging anytime the truck moves.
