Honestly I think a lot of people are too fussy about the BMS, especially on the charging side. If anything the BMS would think the battery is undercharged and just try to charge it more.
Seems like a useless/visual-only addon. All it'd do is protect the A/C condenser/radiator when you'd already be thousands of dollars in damage deep for the bumper, grille, hood, headlights, etc....
For safety reasons the HVB is electromechanically isolated when the vehicle isn't on. So there's no provision for it to charge the 12V when not in operation.
IIRC the manual sliding window already has the anchor points for the regulator cable. So just need to remove or otherwise block open the latch. Electrically there isn't anything wild going on, either. OEM utilizes a three position momentary switch triggering one of a pair of relays for either...
Correct, it's for the HV side. But the DC-DC seems to outputting something even though in theory the main HV contactor shouldn't be closed yet. Just double-checked and it'll go from 12.3v resting off to >14v in accessory. Measured at the under hood terminals.
At least on mine there is some slight voltage rise in accessory versus the battery actual voltage. Possibly bleedover from the precharge capacitor?
(And, pedantically, it's a converter not an inverter since it's just stepping DC to DC)
The positive can go on the battery. The current sensor is on the ground terminal of the battery; it's pretty obvious. Basically just don't connect to the battery ground post directly or slip a terminal beneath the terminal's pinch screw.
So what would a Lariat that already has Sync 3 need to install just the 12" Transit screen?
Screen (obviously)
WPT-982
Mostly unclear on what would be needed on the APIM side:
Camera adapter cable (or would there already be one of these to splice into?)
12" APIM?
NC3T14F664AA screen to APIM? Or...
Also looks like A/Z can login to the same portal X-plan uses. Log in and go to build & price from there and it should have a cookie set to now show plan pricing.
Because it's not a charging issue, but a battery issue.
The battery may even test fine, but if you actually put a light load on them for a few minutes they substantially drop voltage. There are also some circumstances where the Telemetry module can be too active when shut off which exacerbates...
Correct, and it primarily concerns to EcoBoosts where the battery is under the hood. Ford's determination was that the under hood temperatures could result in a failure of Flooded Cell batteries while driving that the Battery Monitoring System would not detect, resulting in the battery charge...
