I got my 25 Nautilus FHEV days ago. I found that there are fuses (41 and 110) for running boards, while 3 fuses (21, 33 and 58) for electric coolant heaters are missing compared with the 24 models.
I wonder if there are OEM running boards and electric coolant heaters that I can installed after market.
Does anyone have the 24 Nautilus service workshop manual that can be shared with me?
Similar issue for my 2017 Edge Titanium. I had a break in the yellow wire (passenger side) but my parking brake still worked and got no OBD error code. All I had were the warnings on the dash of limited functionality, needing service, red error code and the yellow error icon. Guessing the yellow is ground and the unit was still able to operate as it’s grounded via the bolts.
It had somehow corroded in that spot circled red in the pic, even though the wire wrapping and protection around there was in perfect shape. I trimmed it, soldered a bridge and taped it back up. Works for now but I expect in the future will need a proper replacement. The cable is around $35 at the ford dealership here.
It’s good to attempt a cable replacement yourself before paying $1k+. Hopefully your actuator is in good shape and doesn’t need replacement too. Cables are super easy to get to if you take the wheel off.
Just for fun ...
In as much as they didn't remove the hub, and they had to cut the broken stud off to get enough room to remove it; how did they get the new one on?
I was having the same issue, but I have figured out the cause of my issue. The ignition switch has a sensor in it that reads a signal from the key. The vehicle is programed for specific keys with unique signal on each key. I installed a phone holder that has a wireless charger about 2 inches from the ignition switch. When I place the phone into the charger it creates a magnetic field. That magnetic field is disrupting the ignition switch/key pairing capability. I moved the phone charger to the other side of the radio (away from the ignition switch) and have no more issues. I can duplicate the issue every time I move the phone charger (when charging) close to the ignition switch.
