Ditto, mine sits sometimes for 2 to 3 days and I wold be getting the āsome systems have been shut down to save batteryā via my Ford app. All good since I installed the maintainer. I do understand the BCM trying to stretch battery life (similar to my Iphone)ā¦but getting low battery earnings...
Get it in b4 your warranty expires. Used to be you could get (on average) 5 years with a battery, but now it seems more like 3 yrs. Because of my Raptor battery failure at 3 yrs. I run a 5amp maintainer on my Bronco. After disconnecting/ fully charged, I drive a 30 mile trip with seat heater...
Could be that your battery is starting to go bad. ASS stopped working on my Raptor several months before my battery went bad. New battery installed and ASS was working again.
Great trip and happy you were able to see your dad. All my elders have passed now and I was very lucky to have been close with all of them. Thanks for sharing your tripš
As far as why I donāt like ASS, itās annoying and, (while I have no proof whatsoever), I suspect it canāt be good for red hot (oil/water cooled) turbos to abruptly stop spinning with no circulation at every light. Manufacturers are bound by ever stricter CAFE regs. and will do just about...
Your battery charge may be too low to support ASS. ASS is disabled when state of charge is not high enough. My Raptor ASS stopoed working about 6mos before the battery finally failed. Near the end of itās life I was getting all kinds of warning lights, be driving and āKey Not Detected ā would...
A bit off topic, but Iām very happy I ordered my 23 OBX LUX in VB with 2.7L, Advanced 4x4 & electronic rear locker. Gave me 4.27 diff gears, a bit more aggressive x-fer case gearing, & 4A mode. Canāt get VB paint, ADV 4x4 & rear locker w/o SAS package now (OBX). I had Bilstein 6112 coilovers...
Easily removable for repair yourself. Touch up Direct can mix the exact color and send you a kit with primer, color & clear coat. Remove your flare, wet sand and paint. Youāve got nothing to lose since itās already damaged. Good luckš
Wow, thanks for the heads up. Pretty sure youāre referring to Bishop Rd. a couple of miles south of Casmalia? I ride my m-cycle up there on occasion. Generally I stop in the turn-around area right b4 the gate.
LOL, go big or go home! Thatās one mean looking chip, sorry to see that. My 1st was at 5 mos. and only consolation is I donāt have to worry about windshield chips anymore. Iāll let several others accrue before replacing the windshield, since we all know what happens with a brand new windshieldā¦
OP, looks great and inspired me to finally get rid of the goofy OEM 3rd brake light/bracket. I had looked at the Fast Intentions bracket a while back, but hadnāt found a decent 3rd brake light. The Morimoto 5LED light you used peaked my interest so I pulled the trigger on both -
FI bracket...
Looking good my fellow VB owner. Tops coming off tomorrow, had to button it up a couple of weeks ago due to rainy weather. Have Harkin Hoister and solo top removal is really easy! Bring on Spring and convertible weather!
Thx Tim for the vid. Not my cup of tea, however would like to see Ford bring back bolder/brighter colors on the Bronco. Very happy I have the VB color, get compliments on it quite often. Would have taken a hard look at the CO color had it still been available in 23.
Thx Duc, I did read your post above, just frustrating that all was fine before the OTA āupdateā and now I have to have windows adjusted! I recently stopped by my LFD to inquire about losing my Bronco start-up sequence (rocks animation) via an OTA update and they claimed they had never heard...
DITTO, very frustrating that all was fine and now I have to reprogram at lest one window every couple of weeks. I have a June 23 build and while the short-drop does work, the glass will catch if I donāt open door slowly. Iām in habit now to pull handle while holding door shut till it drops...
