  1. HYBRID 12V Battery Mystery SOLVED

    FWIW I have only experienced battery saver modes when the vehicle has decided to do a deep draw on its own. Normally right after parking, lasting for several hours. No idea what it's doing and it happens randomly. No amount of additional charging would have saved me from that deep draw.
  2. VW Is Reportedly Developing a New Pickup Truck for the United States

    It came out later that the dealership had done the last oil change and screwed it up IIRC. Had nothing to do with a bad engine.
  3. Hybrid Battery Temperature Monitoring

    Yeah, I was aware, just doesn't seem like it's doing the job, at least for @Mavster Mechanic Those temps are more in line with what I would expect. Maybe there is a blocking for @Mavster Mechanic or something.
  4. Hybrid Battery Temperature Monitoring

    Since the vast majority of OAT's are 100° and below you'd thing a separate radiator would make sense for the battery coolant. A different source, similar numbers:
  5. Brake fluid flush at 42K WTF?

    FWIW my 2023 has three years (3) in its manual. Pg 460 in the hard copy.
  6. Hybrid Brake Fluid Change Procedure questions

    If you already had Forscan hooked up why didn't you just bleed that way? It's way easier, and more in line with Ford procedures.
  7. Hybrid Brake Fluid Change Procedure questions

    I'm looking into this because I'm coming up on three years as well. My understanding is Ford wants 15-20 psi behind it to help force the fluid through the ABS module. It should/does work without that though. The ABS has decent amount of fluid in it, my personal opinion is cycling the pump is...
  8. Shocking Hybrid Transmission Fluid Change at 65k miles

    The previous iteration of our HF45, the HF35, tended to have bearing failures around 100k if the fluid wasn't changed out every 50k-60k. So, it's good you did it. I did my Prius at 40k and again at 140k. The stuff at 40k looked a lot worse than at 100k, although it was a previous rental in FL...
  9. 1 year, 130k mile review from a heavy hauler

    There's no way he's telling the truth lol. But I did get some laughs with this thread.
  10. 1 year, 130k mile review from a heavy hauler

    Is that why he was banned? I've never seen a negative post by him. Shame he's banned, but he's been reincarnated under several names, so hopefully he'll be back. His technical knowledge of Ford hybrid systems was excellent.
  11. Battery saver mode but 12.5v

    I had it on the Noco 5 all night, fully charged today at 1pm, still in BS mode right now. No lights in cabin and remote start not available. Wtf ford.
  12. Battery saver mode but 12.5v

    Had no idea there was a bulletin on it. I normally don't care but it was 100* out and I wanted to get into a cooled vehicle. I hope they fix it on the next gen of these things.
  13. Battery saver mode but 12.5v

    FWIW I parked around 930am, battery was ~12.65v right after parking, it slowly bled down to 12.51v when I got there at like 2am. BT monitor is connected to battery posts. And there was no big draw on it after parking. That time. When I got home it did make a big draw, the next day it was...
  14. Battery saver mode but 12.5v

    Vehicle entered battery saver mode and would not let me remote start. I have a Bluetooth voltage monitor on the 12v and it showed 12.5v. Car was previously driven about 25 mins on the highway and sat for about 15 hours at an airport lot. Curious why it would enter BS mode at that voltage?
  15. Lariat or well spec'd XLT?

    New XLTs have push button, which is the only thing from the Lariat I miss (I added ACC and lane centering to my XLT).
  16. What good is a cabin air filter

    The filter is designed to protect your evaporator from debris which will eventually cause it to rust (and smell). If you don't keep your vehicles more than five years or so it won't make a ton of difference. You'll start to get smells after that and after ~10 or so units will start to corrode...
  17. Replace Cabin Air Filter and Clearing A/C Drain

    Fantastic video thank you for explaining where the drain is and how to get to it.
  18. High temps mean high MPG

    Even funnier that is an XL/XLT panel with lane centering lol.
