Could be battery state or charge, I’ve seen that on multiple vehicle lines at the dealership where I work. Does your Auto Start Stop work? If not, it’s probably the battery.

They shouldn’t have to mess with the stickers to move the glass from one top to the other.

We did it when we were in Moab. There was a sort of sand pit along the trail. We were given the option to try it, so… I gave it try. It works really well in sand, I’m guessing it will do well in snow or mud also.

If it was heavily damaged, the Field Service Engineer will look at it very closely before he approves any warranty coverage, as he should. Warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship, its not insurance against damage or neglect.

If it was at the shop that long, it was sitting outside most of the time. I’m not sure where the TC vent is or what it looks like, but if it sat outside without the hood on it, could rain have gotten into the vent? I don’t know. And I don’t think I’ve seen a frame straightened in years...

That yellow fluid could have been gear marking compound. It gets used occasionally at the plant.

The best indicator of a weak battery is when Auto Stop/Start quits working, unless it has been turned off with Forscan. Turning ASS off with Forscan just turns off the battery state of charge monitor in the BCM, kind of an unintended byproduct of changing things without fully understanding how...

Yes, if you put your own battery in everything will come back to normal. It may take a couple of key cycles and a short drive. Low battery state of charge wreaks havoc on cars with a lot of modules on multiple communication networks, one module has problems because of low voltage and the other...

That happens because the system doesn’t know the car in front of you is turning. It’s normal.

I forgot about moving them to the mirror. Thanks for the correction. They were on the radiator support forever.

And those sensors are simply thermistors, they rarely fail.

Be aware that the system has an algorithm to prevent false readings, particularly on hot restarts. Since the sensor is located in the grille close to the radiator/condenser it would read well over 100 degrees on a hot restart, so the system remembers the temperature at shut down and displays...

The stitched dash cap is north of $1100. Gulp!

Some dealer service departments won’t under any circumstances replace a part unless they see the fault. They are afraid of getting the warranty claim charged back. I get that, but at some point something needs to be done. It’s not the customer’s fault that some intermittent problems are hard...

Sounds like it might need an Image Processing Module.

They are coil over shocks. Struts provide the upper axis point for steering. Cars with struts don’t have upper control arms.

Call Ford Customer Service line. The number used to be 800-392-FORD (3673). Your shocks are covered, if you have Ford ESP. If not, they are 36 Mo.-36,000 miles.

Wear in the center of tires is from over inflation. Every time.

Yep, I just flashed the picture in front of a coworker and asked what it said. He replied No Dick.😂
