Lou 12 v trickle charge to the motorcycle battery is the trick.Update: The pending update for 22-PU1009-MIL-DTE should have been installed automatically last night at 9:00 PM in accordance with the previously established schedule I set up. It failed. Today, I have tried twice to install the update manually, but both attempts were unsuccessful. They stopped in-process for some unknown reason. Tonight, I will charge the truck up to the 80% level automatically. At 7:00 AM tomorrow morning, I have scheduled the update to be installed automatically. I wish I could be a little more optimistic. PS -- Just for grins, I checked the frunk battery. It was reading 12.55 volts, which I assume should be sufficient to do just about anything. Keeping my fingers crossed.
What PowerUp are you on?
What's the latest PowerUp installed on your Lightning? I'll append new options as the new PowerUps come out.
If you just took delivery of your truck, it could be a month or more before you receive one as your software may still be ahead of this of us getting PowerUps.

12.55 might be low, I'd throw a trickle charger on it.Update: The pending update for 22-PU1009-MIL-DTE should have been installed automatically last night at 9:00 PM in accordance with the previously established schedule I set up.

OK. Dumb question or two I am just trying to picture how this should work. So, I can certainly hook up one of my trickle chargers to the battery in the frunk. I assume this charger should be plugged into the wall instead of one of the truck's power outlets. I'm also guessing that the frunk has to be closed before the update can proceed. Correct? Do I leave the trickle charger "on" at the time the update is scheduled for installation? Your comments and recommendations are appreciated.Lou 12 v trickle charge to the motorcycle battery is the trick.

If possible, plug trickle charger into wall, close frunk, and plan to leave overnight. You might also turn on accessory mode, go to software update, and see if it starts that way after it's been on trickle charger for a bit.
Altogether, the over-the-air update for 22-PU1009-MIL-DTE failed to install six times. This morning (Saturday), I hooked up a trickle charger to the battery in the back of the frunk. I left the charger running when I departed the house at 11:00 AM. When I got home at 3:30 PM, the charger's status LED was flashing (to indicate that the battery had been charged to its peak level and that the charger was now in the "maintain" mode). I left it alone. Before I left the house this morning, I rescheduled the automatic update for 6:00 PM this evening. At 6:45 PM, I checked the Ford Pass app, and the update had been successfully installed. Bottom Line: The frunk battery must be fully charged for the installation to proceed.

Where can I go on my sync 4a screen to find the numbers you're listing. My last update that I just completed successfully 1/29/23 was to fix tire pressure monitoring & distance to empty accuracy. Anyone know what update number that is ?What's the latest PowerUp installed on your Lightning? I'll append new options as the new PowerUps come out.

I went ahead and extended my mobile Hotspot only cost me $200/yr. That's about $16.67/mo for unlimited data. Not a bad price. Hoping the price doesn't go up after a yr.I don’t think mine does anymore because I stopped paying for it after the 3 month feebie.
My last update appears on the Ford Pass app. From the home screen, select vehicle at the bottom of the screen. Select features & settings. Select software updates. Click on recent changes. It will tell you what was in the recent update. The update number was the last bit of information included.Where can I go on my sync 4a screen to find the numbers you're listing.

22C15 was a recall update. The Distance to Empty was another special update. This message isn't showing a specific PowerUp number.View attachment 6033 Not sure what update number this is.
I have 22-PU1009-MIL-DTE that failed twice on me. I put my ctek trickle on it today and it showed the 12V at 50%ish. Hopefully tonight with the trickle on it and the 12V up it installs. Fingers crossed….
If you have access to a 12V trickle charger for the starter battery. Try that. It worked for me after multiple failed attempts prior.

As expected, 4.1.2 came through yesterday and 4.1.3 today. It's a fool proof system @ChasingCoral4.1.3 came yesterday. Start your clock @Obi66
4.1.3 Provides YouTube, NBC News and Today Show while stopped. Presumably other video services will be coming.
I’m still on 3.5.5 I hope I get to 4.x soon

Over a few weeks My truck failed to update to 22-PU1009-MIL-DTE, 21 times. I tried using a trickle charger, driving a bit before updating and the other suggestions here to no avail.

I'm just happy to move on to the next update. Hope I get 22-PU0929-BLM-UP paak is what I'm waiting for.Altogether, the over-the-air update for 22-PU1009-MIL-DTE failed to install six times.
