Let's talk LiveWire

I've had mine for about a month, and have been throwing codes, but the truck ran great.

Then a weird sequence of events happened yesterday.

I ran low on gas, but instead of a "Low Fuel" message, I got "Check Guages"-which now beeps about every ten minutes.

Then this morning, I noted the temp guage was dead, but when starting up, it was active.

And then it got warm, and I turned on the A/C, but no dice. The fan and lights were on, but I'm 100% sure the A/C Clutch wasn't working.

I'm pretty sure I need to reflash my truck, becaused a Restore to Original, did not change things.

Has this happened to anyone?

put it back to stock then reset the PCM; disconnect the battery for a while. When you re-connect the battery and start it up with everything turned off (A/C Stereo, etc), let it get to operating temperature, then drive it about 10 miles or so. Good Luck with it

He said he can't put it back to stock.

He could have explained a little better, but that's what I and others got from his explanation. Where or how do you not see that?

I was psych'ed to see 10 replies this morning-but then disappointed to see the dialogue about what my post was, and wasn't.

I'm going to try the restore to stock, and then the battery disconnect. Couldn't hurt-otherwise, I'll be @ the dealer tomorrow getting my PCM zapped.

Reading through, I should clarify. I can put the stock tune into the truck. What I cant do is get A/C, or the temp gauge to work.

Well that's totally wierd. Hopefully the reflash cures those glitches.
