When I switch to satellite on Sync 3.4 '19 Ranger, I get a message on the screen "Satellite Antenna Fault". I did a Master Reset, but it didn't clear. The roof antenna is intact, no under dash work performed, but a rat did pay me a brief visit (inside the cab as well as under the hood) last...
A few days ago I started the truck cold and heard a loud clacking under the hood. It came from the top front of the head at the phaser solenoids. I could press down lightly on the solenoids and the noise became less pronounced, but didn't go away until I restarted the engine. Oil level is...
Update: it was a rat. I saw it in the cab, and three times under the hood.
I pulled up the plastic cowl vent panels and put wire mesh in all the openings I could find and reach. Sadly, I broke the windshield trying to get the drivers side wiper arm off.
I put in all the well known repellants...
I discovered this morning a large mouse in my cab. Saw it duck up in the dash. At that time I noticed droppings on seats and floor, USB cable chewed upon. After closer inspection, found plastic bits on the passenger mat. Pulled down glove box, found beginnings of nest on cabin air filter...
I won't disagree, as I don't have any of the vehicles you list. Our 2016 Edge 2.0L Ecoboost runs smoothly when cold, as does the 2019 Ranger, post-update. However, I had a 2013 Honda Accord 2.4L that would run poorly on the second start after I started it cold, shut it off after a few seconds...
The dealer performed the TSB PCM update at my request, though they claimed they couldn't reproduce the issue. How did I know? Shifts were initially erratic as the truck "relearned" my driving style.. The truck no longer idles like a diesel tractor after cold start. Very smooth, no surging...
My 2019 XLT CC has been in the shop since Friday morning. They called today to tell me they cannot duplicate the rough idle. They said they were unaware of the TSB 20-2339(!), so I sent the link and PDF I found here. I hope to hear back that they went ahead and applied it. They couldn't...
Friend in High School bought a V8 Vega used. He rebuilt the engine, and I helped him install it. It was dark out. He filled it with oil and fired it up. I told him there was fluid running down the driveway, and he shut it down. On closer inspection, it was oil. He had used a spin on filter where...
I don't have this problem, but back when my modem stopped working and a sync reset didn't help, I decided to disconnect the negative battery terminal and leave it sit for a half hour. Don't know if that length of time is necessary, but after dinner, I reconnected the battery and my modem was...
I solved the modem issue by disconnecting the negative battery cable for a few minutes. I think pulling the modem fuse would accomplish the same thing, if you can find it. Sync reset alone won't make the modem work again.
