Is there a drain plug on the 2018 RDU? My 2018 PTU has a drain plug. Did they put a drain plug on the RDU in 2018? Videos on the subject show a pump out by hand from the fill plug and not getting all the old fluid out. Thanks

Ok so I’ve been absent for a while but had live get in the way along with a few new builds. Anyway. My first vehicle I had them turn was my 15 3.5 truck. It was very well done with meth injection and downpipe. 12.6 1/4 with 3:31 rear. Truck ended up being totaled by a young driver but had 418k trouble free miles. Never used oil or any issues at all. Every single mile since it had 200 miles was tuned by lms. My wife’s 2.0 edge was tuned right after purchasing also. She currently has just over 200k on that with her never removing the e30 tune. Just simple fluid changes and general maintenance. Still very happy. I also had them build my 23 3.5 but only have 10k on that and so far so good. My 24 maverick I had them tune as soon as I got it. Currently at 50k with a lot of it being towing. very happy with all of them. So far. So if anyone is on the fence here is some real world experience that was good.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been on here but here is an update. My 3.5 got totaled by a street racer. It ended with 418k trouble free miles. My edge 2.0 currently sits with over 200k mile of e30 tuned miles. All is still good.

Hi Esteban Did you find any solution? I have the same problem with my mkx....help!!!

I have seen the word bezel on the forums, but never took the time to look it up. Now I know.

Well, what do ya know, it works. A lot of info displayed. .

It was a long time ago, but I don't think it was SYNC related, it just displayed there. I mostly remember it displayed mph, GPS location, longitude/latitude, and one or two other things. Been searching for a document that described the sequence and finally found it in the cloud. It wasn't my Focus, it was my 2016 C-Max Energi. With the car off, press the left OK button then with your foot on the brake press start. Hold the OK until ET displays in the top left corner of the left screen. Use the down arrow to cycle through the diagnostic screens. At the fifth screen will be the diagnostic test codes. If there are no codes the screen will be blank. To exit press and hold the left OK button until clear. As I was typing, I thought the above might be something different, but I was too far in to abandon the effort. I'm going to see if this does anything on my 2020 Edge.

Thank you for the input it shut off at a stop sign and wouldnt start again Rolled it into a parking lot and had to get another battery. It did turnover but wouldn't start (tried once and then quit) That's when I started going for the water pump. JPJM

SYNC Bezel Diagnostics?

Off topic a little, but on my 2012 Focus, (probably other models too) there was a series of buttons you could sequence to bring up on the SYNC I screen indicating your geographical location, speed and other info. Does anyone know if that's still possible?

I'm not certain that this is your exact seat track. It may or may not be the exact seat track you need. $290 with free shipping.

It's already warm and I won't be able to check the operation. I'll try to connect another camera later. I'll check the wiring from the camera, of course. If you disconnect the rain sensor, then Forscan sees that it's not there. Can updating the camera firmware help?

SSM 53474 2019-2024 Edge, 2019-2023 Nautilus - 2.0L - Repeat Block Heater Failure - Updated Procedure In The Workshop Manual (WSM) Some 2019-2024 Edge and 2019-2023 Nautilus vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine may exhibit a repeat block heater failure. This may be caused by air in the engine cooling system. The WSM replacement procedure has been updated to include the Engine Cooling System Draining, Vacuum Filling and Bleeding procedure found in Section 303-03A Engine Cooling - 2.0L EcoBoost (184kW/250PS) - MI4, General Procedures as the final step. The block heater should not be tested unless all the air has been removed from the engine cooling system following this procedure. Relevant Workshop Manual sections, as PDF documents, are attached below a Workshop Manual illustration and information from Ford's online parts-selling site...

Hi Enigma-2, thanks for the reply, I will try your suggestions. Do you know if the mechanism is still available? Part number or name?

Its possible that the lever that adjusts your seat position may be jammed. When standing out of the car, try pulling the lever directly upward with a fair amount of force. This might be able to free the mechanism of any dirt or gunk which is jamming the gears. If it's still stuck, pump the seat lever downward three or four times, then pull the lever up sharply. This may be able disengage the jammed gears, freeing the seat. If these attempts don't work, you'll probably have the pull the seat and see if the adjustment mechanism is jammed from gunk, or if the mechanism is broken.

User in a different forum said that he got his to activate by pressing and holding the volume button and simultaneously turning the button one click.

There is definitely an issue with the IPMA or the wiring. Clearly the IPMA thinks that the heater circuit does not have any problems, but that is not true because the heater was disconnected from the IPMA.

Welcome to the forum @DWare, I don’t know of any updates. One thought I have: maybe we can investigate how the physical button of the 15” sync 4 connects.

Welcome to the forum @ashleymcp17, The ambient lights can be found by searching for something like: car symphony ambient lights. There are multiple options for different kits. I got a kit with one main controller, 4 sub controllers for the doors, footwell lights, door handle lights, and light strips for the doors and interior. The cheapest place I found the kit was AliExpress. The cup holders are OEM. I will try to find the cost that I paid.

@Bunky: You are correct that the transmission cooler for the 2024 Nautilus Hybrid's HF55 Automatic Transmission is a liquid-to-air heat exchanger that presents no opportunity for engine coolant/transmission fluid cross-contamination... ...which is mounted onto the front of the (engine coolant) Radiator... The causal base part number cited in SSM 53465 -- 7869 -- resolves to the Transmission Fluid Cooler used with the 8F35 transmission... ...which is mounted beneath the 8F35 Transmission... Ford's online parts-selling site designates the 7869 Transmission Fluid Cooler as fitting the models affected by SSM 53465, though not for all listed model years... Link to this FordParts webpage Based upon its appearance and the cross-contamination failure mode it's described as producing, the 7689 Transmission Fluid Cooler is a fluid-to-fluid heat exchanger. And finally, the Transmission Fluid Cooler for the 8F57 Automatic Transmission is an integral part of the A/C Condenser, and as a fluid-to-air heat exchanger, it provides no opportunity for engine coolant/transmission fluid cross-contamination... It's fair to say, it would've been nice if the Special Service Message included the affected vehicles' engine/transmission combination(s). Good luck!

Big job. Have to remove the top and front of engine to reach. Going this far, you definitely change out water pump, timing chain, chain guides and plugs. My dealer drops the engine/transmission subframe to service. Claims it's easier that working on engine inside car.

The common hardware items are listed in Ford's Standard Parts Catalog. This is what the old paper copies look like, the current ones are on digital. Dealer has a copy. https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/standard--utility-parts-catalog.html

Studder under load is most often ignition related (not always, but I'd suspect first.) How many miles on your plugs? Could also be a coil boot partial failure that allowing spark to short to block. Couple of videos that have good advice on how to isolate:
