  2. For the past several days, all content on this site is displayed in a very narrow column on the left side of the browser. I've tried both Firefox and Chrome; same result. Can someone please fix this?
  3. Last week
  4. Hi I wonder if your problem was fixed?
  5. Earlier
  6. Yes the mileage is substantial, the current owner bought it with 28k mi and has accumulated the rest of his miles as an Uber/Lyft driver. Other than several faulty front wheel bearings and a CV axle replacement, this car seems to be a real winner
  7. Sensible way to change? Access is very poor. I've been getting the P0128 off and on for two years, If I clear it with Forscan it stays away for a while. Just looking at the temp gauge, it seems to take a while to warm up. I'm just afraid it will re-occur when I have to go for emissions. Plus the coolant is old. I'm looking at maybe disconnecting the AC suction line.
  8. Thanks for the long, thoughtful post. My 2010 is the same color! 232k, amazing.
  9. Hey guys, I've looked all over multiple forums and can't seem to find any wiring diagram that matches the pins I have on the Sony amplifier in my 2019 Ford Fusion (Titanium, non-hybrid). I'd like to do the Forscan mod to switch the outputs to line-level and replace the Sony amp with my own DSPs and amps, but don't know which wires would be the line-level after the mod and which wires go to which speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The attached images show the two connectors from different angles, in case it's useful for anyone.
  10. good day Could you help me identify where the transmission speed sensor (A) is located? THANK YOU..
  11. LVB is not being properly charged/maintained by the system/HVB getting discharged at fast rate ... dealer says unknown time in shop ; loaner/rental at my cost. Only way I can keep the vehicle from being dead is to run it after about 12 hours of sitting to keep it from dying. My wallet is not Ft. Knox. Also drivers seat material splitting on door-side bolster. My desire to get another car has been building ever since Ford decided to pull passenger cars from production. Accord and Camry seem to have best owner satisfaction. There are some review issues I want to check before deciding.
  12. Curious why you're looking elsewhere when you have a 2020 FFH.
  13. Not familiar with the charging system issue. Fill me in please? BUT ... I'm looking elsewhere - at hybrids. Right now it's either an Accord or a Camry. I'm leaning toward Camry but who knows?
  14. Remind me what the charging subsystem recall is.
  15. After Ford's handling - or not handling - of the charging subsystem recall, I decided it was time to move on. Ended up making the full BEV leap to Tesla Model Y long range. Looked at long-and-hard at the Mach E, came to the conclusion it really wasn't competitive in the areas I cared about, like energy efficiency and particularly pricing. Models comparable to the LR were stickered like $10K more - without eligibility for the Federal tax credit or dealer willingness to get even close to the same $$$$. This, coupled with Ford's lackadaisical attitude for product support for anything that's not a honking big truck made me look elsewhere. I know, might be leaping from one frying pan to another - guess time will tell.
  16. I'm glad to try to contribute. I've gained so much information from the experiences of others on these forums. It would be great to return the assistance somehow. About to replace the driver steering knuckle assembly...may post on that if it's worthwhile. Wish the bearing alone could be replaced in an easier way than requiring a hydraulic press... DSK
  17. Thanks for posting a solution that may help others. I always appreciate these posts even if they don't directly apply to my vehicle
  18. Hello, New here. Wanted to share my recent experience regarding a troublesome problem in hopes that it might benefit someone else. Apology in advance for the dumb long post... For several months on and off I have been trying to help my older neighbor with a recurring engine stall problem on his FFH. I don't own a FFH myself (forgive me) but have great interest in hybrid and EV autos and just wanted to share this with the community for the edification of anyone with a similar problem...long story short: a new MECS pump saved the day. 2011 FFH 2.5L w/ 232k miles Problem: engine shuts down upon increased load/oncoming freeway ramp/sudden hi speed demand/going uphill fast. Wrench light, warning triangle shows. Sometimes above warnings show during above conditions but engine does not stall (rare). Only occurs at operating temp. Codes: P2418 (evap). I erroneously focused on the P2418 after hearing from a Ford tech that evap purge/vent valve failures can cause a lean fuel condition, leading to stalling. While this may be true, it was the wrong track in my case. I was unaware of the MECS (motor electronics cooling system) pump being a cause of many problems with the FFH as well as the Ford Escape hybrids of the same era (or close to). Allegedly it caused the same stall condition in the Escapes. After changing evap purge and vent valves to no avail, and my neighbor suggesting a coolant flush just for maintenance sake, I flushed and replaced the ICE coolant first. I told him to get the Motorcraft Specialty Green VC-5 FIR No. 164315 (concentrate) which we used instead of an Oreilly equivalent which he suggested, but I did not want to use... The old coolant was a darker green and looked worn out, and when compared to the new luminous bright green coolant, it gave me the idea that the old was greatly out of date. Maybe original? The difference was so evident, I was convinced this would improve something. I had been researching the subject of coolant in this car and the MECS in particular, so I bought a German Bosch 0392023019 MECS pump online and installed it, flushing and replacing the old coolant in the converter and the old aftermarket MECS pump (Cooper Standard). It was only at this point in time did I realize I had never before heard the hum of the MECS pump upon turning the key. And of course, the old pump tested bad. Breathtaking ignorance, I know. What confused me is that there were never any MECS related codes present, which my research made me think should have appeared. I remembered reading posts from others that said they had some sort of coolant codes come up...my cue should have been that his complaint was "only when the engine is warm". No coolant related codes ever appeared. I don't have FORscan so maybe something would have appeared using it. The more I read about this the more I realize how common of a problem this has been...so perhaps this post is nothing more than old news. Worst time of the job was getting the 12mm coolant bleed bolt back in, which was in a different location than my repair guidance gave. Basically it's under the brake fluid reservoir, on the top center of the converter, just under the electrical plugs going into the converter. It's a pain to access. The level of coolant in the reservoir did not drop until this bolt was removed, even with the hoses and pump disconnected below. Pictures for that included for anyone who's interested. I don't remember how much coolant it took but didn't seem to be as much as it called for...I mixed it in a 1/2 gallon jug and added it in smaller amounts that way, a bit on the strong side, to account for any distilled water still in the system after I flushed it. I hope this helps. If I gave any incorrect info, someone please advise. Now, if someone could advise on this P2418 code... Thank you all DSK
  19. You'll have to google around but the closest I've found is: https://www.carid.com/2010-ford-fusion-header-panels/ford-oe-radiator-support-5410710168.html?offermpnid=4660440914&view=197137&srsltid=AfmBOortxCJ-aFfJ95HmcQb397PPVmn_VGbArGrz3dVIsVVLWg8PQDErnmg It's for an older model but I assume it will be similar
  20. but this is another detail, I would like to know where this detail is located specifically on the diagram
  21. Looks like it's this: https://www.oemfordpart.com/oem-parts/ford-air-deflector-hs7z8310f?c=bD01OCZuPUR5bmFtaWMgU0VPIFBhZ2U%3D
  22. Thanks. That same tool is on the site of aawireless, and my 2017 FFH "passed" the test.
  23. I fund this article today: https://www.howtogeek.com/android-auto-wireless-adapter-compatibility-test/ I hope it helps you.
  24. Has anyone tried Wireless Android Auto Adapter from https://www.aawireless.io ?
  25. Is there an aftermarket solution that allows Sync 3 to support wireless Android Auto?
