Started with a 4cyl Contour and stayed w the brand? Now that's dedication!!!

The hybrid is a loss leader. It scores big points with the EPA so that how Ford justifies making it cheaper. I'd also be willing to bet they were surprised by the hybrid take-rate, hence the supply constraints (among other reasons). It's also why we may never see an AWD hybrid Maverick. Why...

Turn the tether 90⁰ so the flats line up. It's there to keep the cover from going flying in the event of an accident.

I wasn't even thinking about that angle. I just miss the utter silence of my CMax, which, as far as I can tell, never ran over a wayward pedestrian in my 8 years with it. Not even my dumbass dog who ran at my car every time I pulled into the driveway.

So, here's a pic of the control module. I've been trying all morning to get a good shot of the speaker plug, it's just to tight of a spot to get a good image. It's a white plug, with a green and a purple wire, same shape as the horn connector. Officially, it's only accessible with the bumper...

Yeah, that's definitely the pedestrian warning system. The speaker is under the hood, behind the bumper, near the air cleaner. The control module for it is in the rear seat compartment with the 12v battery.

So, not trying to question the dealer's process, but did they say which module bricked? Was it just the TRM? If so, they should be able to order the replacement module and give your truck back in the meantime. Were they still trying to recover the original module? I could see them trying to...

How do you think MyFord Touch happened? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So, the OEM blind spot mirror is molded as one piece, and the BLIS LED goes right where the blind spot mirror is in that pic. I think you could install the factory Blind Spot mirrors on an XL by replacing the glass, but no such luck on something w blind spot radar. Fortunately, I'm seeing a lot...

The vent position is controlled by the module, which is why it's not lit up. It will automatically adjust to panel vents, floor vents, defrost or some combination, based on interior, exterior temps, requested set temp, sunlight sensor and humidity sensor inputs.

So, "LO" just keeps the a/c cranked to full cold, regardless of interior temp. "HI"does the same thing with the heat. There are a pair of floor ducts under the front seats that direct heat to the rear seat passengers in the cold. Me, personally, I really like having 3 levels of AUTO available...

XL, XLT have conventional, hard wired power windows with just one touch down for the driver. Lariat have all 4 power windows controlled by individual door modules, which lets them one touch open and close, and allows for remote operation and global open/close.

IDK, doesn't look right, but it's hard to tell from just a video. I see what you're talking about. It'd def be worth having looked at, but I'd say it could probably wait until your first service, unless it gets worse or seems to threaten normal wiper function.

So, A trick I used on my CMax and on other customer hybrids was to go on a hard drive but shift to neutral when braking. When the transmission is in neutral, there's no regen braking, so all the brake force comes from the friction brakes. It helps clean the rotors much more effectively than with...

That happened to me yesterday. I asked my salesman if he could tell me when my truck got dropped in the rail yard. He told me if for dropped the day before and was waiting on a truck to take it to the dealer. He said arrival hopefully before the weekend. Then, at 8am, hiding on a carrier among a...

So, million dollar question, aside from the windshield, are you having the whole truck fixed, or are you going to let her wear the badges of honor proudly?

FWIW, you'll probably be getting your Mav back from the body shop before many of us get our Mavs at all :(

So, the pedestrian alert works regardless of gas eng on or off, forward and reverse, and the Distance to Empty is based off the average MPG for the past 500mi, regardless of when the trip meter/avg MPG was last reset. Because it's based on cumulative mileage, it's also affected by any idle time...

It covers the front camera assembly. It's held up with 2 steel clips by the headliner and 2 plastic clips going into the camera bracket. I'm not sure, but the "pin" your talking about is actually the interior temperature sensor and is mounted behind the cover. Also, no speaker, just a...

I kinda miss the disconnects on the older hybrids that actually disconnected the HV battery directly, not just electrically. The 05-09 Escapes had a massive turn knob under the cargo floor while the 10-19 Fusions, 13-19 CMax had a 3 stage fuse block that pulled right out of the battery.
