  1. There's also the possibility that the fault is in the charging cable.

  3. Believe I read somewhere that the low fuel lamp comes on based on your driving style. Inasmuch as the manual tells you that it's unreliable during the first thousand miles, would seem that it's developing a history to operate off of. (I'm making an assumption based on the information on page 179 of the owners manual).
  4. Relates to being a Marine in Vietnam and a certain series of spiritual experiences that occured in May, 1970.
  5. Did that once with a half bottle of Bacardi. Your right, weird noises. Lol.
  6. It was not meant to be a jab at you or anyone else. When you change performance (faster acceleration), you directly alter the mileage. More acceleration requires more gasoline. I was mearly asking was a simple question, how many miles per gallon loss to gain better acceleration? If it was possible to achieve a simple fix to gain better acceleration WITHOUT a hit in mileage, Ford would have incorporated it in production years ago. After all, they spend millions in research for just this purpose.

  9. Don't know this stuff, you would want a lubricant that doesn't attract dirt and doesn't get gummy with water or cold. Anything "like" silicone would probably be ok, I would guess.
  10. Integrated Diagnostic Software. Had to look it up. https://www.motorcraftservice.com/Diagnostic/Diagnostic
  11. It's a wonderful anyone can figure it out. Here's how it reds "With the buttons facing the rear of your vehicle and the key ring up, place the intelligent access key into the backup slot." Glad you figured it out.
  12. Former Marine Airwing, Avionics CH-46. Also flew as a door gunner in Nam. Whenever I travel I sometimes have to walk on the tarmac to reach the aircraft. The sounds and smells of avgas burning takes me right back to those days.
  13. Just guessing from reading your post, but I'd say you fried the smart junction box. That's where the headlight electronics are located. The headlight switch is just a switch (with LED backlighting).
  14. Referencing the owners manual, page 126. Make certain your climate control is turned on (button H). Make certain the A/C button is off (button G). Set the temperature to lower than the outside temperature. (Down to 60° to keep the outside air continously flowing, otherwise the air will slow or stop when the cabin temp matches the outside temp). Or take it off automatic by manually setting the fan speed.
  15. I wish. My 09 has soft, squishy brakes. Ah .... NO! No, no, no. My 09 seals the cabin area tightly. That is NOT normal. Your car has a leak around the rear doors. I would start by checking the rubber weather seals. Try using a dollar bill, shut it in the car door and wiggle it around the door seal. It should not move easily. If it does, the seal has gaps and is letting in air and water.
  16. Ummmm, after looking at page 72, I believe that it's actually on the inside "front" of the compartment. Do you see a slot on the inside front of the compartment?
  17. FWIW, I check my cabin filter to see if dirty (this was last year), and found piles and piles of shredded foam rubber laying on the filter. Have no idea as to where it came from (suspect the asst. service mgr. did it - guy didn't last and he always seemed to by hustling repairs not needed). Anyway, it IS possible that there is a blockage in this area

  20. Ok. By chance, did you switch to recirculate to see if the air flow improved? If it doesn't I would suspect something in the core causing the blockage. (Or one of the doors not actuating properly.) Another way to isolate is to remove the cabin filter and leave the filter door open. If it improves, it's allowing air to bypass the engine intake and, yes, I would then suspect it. If not however, it's still being blocked lower in the system.
  21. You can color your existing bulbs by using several coats of Dupli-Color Metalcast Yellow. There's an excellent discussion on fog lamps at http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/lights/light_color/light_color.html
  22. I would think that synthetic grease would last the longest. The service manual recommends silicone spray. I use a super silicone, a mix of silicone and Teflon (think that's what it is, haven't used it in a while).
