I don’t understand why FordPass shows this ?

[tekoontz]

When I get home from a drive and I think I’ve shut off my BS …
When I then run the FordPass app I expect it to show that the BS is parked.
However some times it shows vehicle is on !
I don’t understand why.
Doesn’t this also mean that my battery will drain ?

The connection via the Ford app uses the vehicle's onboard cellular modem, so it may take several minutes for things to update.

So, it's not phone to car, it's phone to cell provider to Ford servers to cell provider to car.

Try refreshing the App, on the Ford App Home Screen, use your finger - pulling down from the top of the screen on your phone, you’ll see the app say it is Updating then the App will finish the update and you can check what it shows after the update completes

It might also be the case your vehicle lost its connection with your phone

So are you saying the BS is actually off ?

Only you would know that by observing your vehicle

See post #3

See post #3

it always appears to be off

it always appears to be off

Each time you see the app report the vehicle is on and running, do the refresh discussed in post #3 and see if that then always shows the vehicle is off and Parked

Mine did the same thing yesterday. I refreshed the app and it switched to "parked," but yeah, it was weird.

Don't worry about your battery; Ford has been passing them out like they were Halloween candy.

But since it is a Bronco, you should wipe it down after every run.

Over time the app has become more sluggish with status updates. When we got our Edge in 2020 it was very on the ball, whereas now it may update or may be a few hours out of date.

Rode hard & put away broke.
