You’re awesome! Great minds think alike - I happened to stumble across that diagram as I was scouring for info online, in a Reddit post.
That said, I’m keeping this handy, just in case.
Thank you!
I appreciate the offer! However, I went ahead and just ordered a replacement cap along with the side mirror assembly.
This will all serve as an expensive lesson to pay more attention as I’m backing my Bronco into my garage.
Thank you again!
I’ve managed to find a new OEM replacement for a bit less than $1,000.
As for my current one, the actual mirror assembly where the mirror, mirror motor, turn signal, BLIS, and camera are housed is pretty much shattered in pieces. Thankfully, the mirror is intact, along with the signal marker...
The replacement mirror assembly from what I’m told, comes fully assembled, including the mirror. The only thing I would need to but separately is the mirror cap - of which I’m going to try to salvage from the wreckage.
Yeah, there isn’t really much to snap back together. The Mirror housing is a mangled mess. The upside is, I can at least salvage parts like the mirror, puddle light, and camera as spare parts in case I need them in the future.
I appreciate the suggestions! You’re right along the lines I’ve already taken into consideration; having initially looked at parts online, it makes sense to replace it myself. It will cost a little more than my deductible, but I won’t take a hit on my insurance - this would be considered...
So, without going into a long drawn out story, I clipped my side view mirror as I was backing into my garage.
Has anyone had to replace their side view mirror in its entirety? If so, what would you say is the level of difficulty in replacing it? Would anyone have any recommendations on where...
When you’re in the AS BUILT of a module, there’s a button that says “Restore Factore AB”. That is the piece that requires an internet connect while you’re using FORScan, so that it can download the factory AB for your Bronco.
I don’t think FORScan “tricks the computer in some way”; it literally disables auto start/stop from activating, native in the system with no trickery, and no action required by the user while using the vehicle.
It’s ironic you accuse FORScan of “tricking the computer in some way”, because it...
Are you referring to the OTA updates ford pushes down via SYNC? If so, it does not.
Since I got my Bronco 2 weeks ago, I’ve received 2 OTA update pushes to my Bronco, and neither of them restored my AS BUILT settings back to factory.
I am with you on that. In addition, one of my dogs who is 11 and getting up there in age (I’ve had her since she was a 3 month old pup) - she really loves her car rides. Her and my other dog love car rides. But, they cant stick their heads out of my other car. I don’t know how much time I have...
Thanks! Yeah I’m glad as well. I felt like it was good timing. The night I bought it was the night the UAW went on strike. I was factoring the strike, what the car market could potentially look like in 2024, interest rates, etc., and decided to go for it. Also, I haven’t seen that many Eruption...
Ah, yes. Allow me to clarify that. I got the Bronco pre-owned. Had 5,500 miles on it. The first owner bought it and ended up getting a business car, so he got rid of it, and here we are.
I figured since I had already wrote a novel above, I’d spare some of the details, but it was a good...
I have a BadSquatch. I’ve only filled it up twice so far, but here’s the limited anecdotal data I can provide:
* Tank 1, Trip Computer: 17.8. Actual: 17.3
* Tank 2, Tripi Computer: 18.3. Actual: 17.6
Note: This is with 87 regular fuel. I’ve been driving in Eco mode. Yeah, I know that may make...
Hi Everyone,
So I apologize, as not many people (if any at all) may care about this, but I’m one for transparency.
With that said, this is a reintroduction of sorts. I originally joined Bronco6G in 2021 under the user name JustJD. I honestly thought it was a lame user name - I couldnt’t come...
