I have another question. After the guy changed my battery I noticed my pre-set radio stations were still in memory & the clock was right (which seemed odd), and my car was still acting like it was conserving battery (audio off when I started the car as well as the cheap sounding seat belt...

Well, it sounds like from the replies that the heat can definitely hurt battery life. My truck is parked in the garage but between that and not driving it constantly…and the drain on the battery from all the gizmos on it, I guess that’ll do it. All I knew was that the OEM battery on my 2012...

Yep, that’s how my problems started showing up. Two visits to the dealer got me nowhere because they said the battery didn’t “fail” their test.

I bought my Ranger in Dec 2019, though it was put in service as a loaner by the dealer in May 2019. Just a note, I live in “hot” Southeast Texas. I started having trouble with the battery in Oct ‘21. I finally got a Ctek battery maintainer and have been using it as needed. I am retired so I...

its been almost 2 yrs for me although the dealer used it as a loaner for 6 months prior to that. Actually, using the Ctek on it really helped. All the issues went away except the AS/S still doesn’t work…but then I could care less. I’m thinking if I use the battery maintainer once or twice a week...

…and backing up in high water isn’t good if it goes up your tailpipe either ?

i finally got a Ctek and have it on it right now. After two trips to the dealer I’m giving up it’ll be replaced. Here’s hoping the constant, annoying messages on my Nav screen and FordPass app go away!

After almost 2 years and 18k miles my smile is starting to fade some. I love just about everything about the truck except the battery life. If I’d known I’d have to drive it an hour every day to keep it from going into deep sleep mode I would’ve thought twice about getting this truck. Dealer...

I’m on the fence about getting a Ranger again. I mean I like the truck, but the dang problem with the battery going into deep sleep all the time and 2 trips to the dealer about it just irritates me! I’ve always had a Chevy (my last was a ‘12 Avalanche, which I loved), but wanted something a...

I made my 2nd trip to the dealer last week because I am constantly getting the message on my nav screen that the system is off to save battery, plus I’m getting messages on my FordPass app. Oh, and AS/S hasn’t kicked on in a long time. After keeping it overnight they said it didn’t “fail”...

Interesting, for the first time I had the same thing happen to me last week. I wasn’t in the middle of nowhere…I was in my general neighborhood. The next time I turned the truck on the GPS worked.fine.

I’ve made a few trips to the dealer for various things and after the last visit I noticed that I suddenly had mid-bed tie downs! That was so nice of them!!

Thanks for the replies. It happened again just recently and I’m thinking less that it’s tire rubbing. I looked at the left front tire and don’t see indications of rubbing, on the tire or wheel well. It sounds more like a grinding, but not rubber...nor a metal to metal grinding. After reading...

About a year ago, I had the ReadyLift 3” SST kit installed on my 2019 Ranger. I’ve noticed that the only time I hear a rubbing noise is when I’m pulling out of a driveway that’s higher than the road and I have to make a hard right turn onto the road. I have factory tires, 265/60R18, so I didn’t...

I took it to the dealer who said the battery is good but weak. They recharged it and said if I have further issues to bring it back. On the way home the Auto Start/Stop still didn’t engage ?. At least I’ve taken the first step to getting the battery replaced under warranty if I continue to have...

I’m wondering if I can find out what all is pulling from the battery when it sits. Has anyone done an analysis? Maybe some things, like the Auto Start/Stop, can be turned off to save battery life?

Thanks. I really hope the dealer replaces it. I’ll look at the Amazon link too.

I’ve noticed that my Auto Start/Stop no longer shuts down the engine at a light, that my screen display says it has shut down to save battery (after I open the door and get in but before I put the key in the ignition), that when my door is open my overhead light stays on for about a minute then...

I finally got ‘em put on. I think the charcoal metallic letters match the magnetic trim pretty good!

Got these in! I was going to have an auto trim install their vinyl letters, but after 2 calls and still waiting I decided to do it myself. $20 vs $150 is a no brainer anyway!
