Sadly, the sound came back this Saturday. The "fix" from the reset lasted a little over a week. It only happened once during my driving this weekend, but once is more than it ever did prior to the update.
This.
Seems to have worked for me. I did the factory defaults, which unlinked my phone, my FordPass account, etc. FordPass re-activation is easy via the app.
The metal bracket circled in the photo below is A) not securely "riveted" to the plastic and B) sits against the metal cross bar. Any slop in this system and a metal-on-metal sound will occur.
I made three modifications with craft store supplies:
1. I added a strip of double-sided tape between...
Thanks for the clue. I just popped off this panel. It looks like their are some air bag solenoids and metal hoses beneath the trim piece. The clips that retain the plastic trim don't hold it firm and that allows the plastic to tap against the metal. A few strategic pieces of isolating material...
I also have this. A light touch temporarily quiets it. My suspicion is a bit of dust is in there but I haven't had a chance to take it apart and clean it all.
Can you describe this rattle any more beyond "metallic ticking"? I'm chasing what sounds more like a "clunk" than a "tick". Only happens at low speed, doesn't necessarily happen over bumps (but might), doesn't happen by shutting the tailgate or shaking or banging or anything.
Since the update I also have the electrical interference/buzzing. I have also correlated it to going into reverse and a couple other actions that I can’t pinpoint. It is also fair to point out that I think my CarPlay connection might be a little more reliable.
Just wanted to chime in and say thank you for the writeup. I finished the install this morning and it is exactly what I was looking for!
I used the following:
ProClip mount, #855783
Tackform 17mm AMPS mount, #TF-BS-125
Course Motorsports MAGSAFE charger, #CM2.90088
3/8" self tapping screws...
The one time I slept in the cargo area I had a lot of challenges:
1. The mismatched level of the rear cargo space and the folded seats. I used a cargo blanket, towels, and another blanket. Meh. Admittedly I didn't use the sleeping mat I now own.
2. I am 6'0" and I had to sleep diagonally and I...
I'd say my wireless connection works 80-90% of the time. Sometimes it connects right away, sometimes it takes 1-2 minutes, sometimes it just won't connect. When it won't connect, sometimes it will connect wired, sometimes neither wireless nor wired will connect. Keying off the vehicle always...
I can't say if there are a lot of rigs there with the same issue. Like you, though, I thought oil change + nit picky junk in a single appointment. Nope. My dealership has an oil change team, a different interior/exterior team (the queue), then another team for drivetrain. Each team has their own...
