  1. Strange BMS and Sync related issues

    I will run the meter and shut off test later on when I have some spare time, but appreciate the guidance in running things down. In the meantime, I traced the module to the fuse box just behind the hood latch. It appears the +12v is tied into the Ford harness there. Not sure where the...
  2. Strange BMS and Sync related issues

    I'm using an OBDLink bluetooth device/app and haven't run across the Estimated SOC reading - that might be a Forscan or more advanced OBDII adapter parameter. I will dig around a bit more. You do bring up a good point whereas at times I will turn off and exit the vehicle and notice the Sync...
  3. Strange BMS and Sync related issues

    My build looks correct. Wish the Master Reset actually allowed me to reset and try again.
  4. Strange BMS and Sync related issues

    The Preset 'Favorite' Radio stations remain, but it would turn on to a preset AM or FM station on its on when restarting the truck. Usually I listen to XM satellite and it would remain there after shutdown. The radio usually last about 5 minutes when turned off, this is a guestimate I wait in...
  5. Strange BMS and Sync related issues

    The only codes popping up is the P0128 which seems related to the thermostat open. I only picked that up with a MIL lamp in the last 2 weeks or so. This is the dealer installed anti-theft: https://4yournewcar.com/security.html and I found the install guide here...

    Since replacing my battery (OEM Motorcraft) about 18 months ago and performing multiple BMS reset procedures I am still seeing the following issues: Issues after batter swap: -Ambient Light does not recall setting (usually goes off after restart). -Aftermarket dealer installed shift lockout...
  7. Do I need to replace my thermostat?

    I haven't had a chance to dig into it but that was my hope. Will give it a shot once I get the thermostat in hand.
  8. Do I need to replace my thermostat?

    I just popped the P0128 code this morning and noticed on my OBD2 reader the ECT was staying around 165 170ish. Potentially thermostat stuck open like a few of you. Does anyone have a diagram for replacing or a view the housing? Thanks

  12. Ford BMS Battery Monitoring System: How it Works and How to Properly Charge Your Battery!

    My Ranger is my second (third maybe - Explorer Hybrid?) BMS vehicle behind my wife's former Escape. I replaced both the Escape battery and Ranger battery when I would start to notice weird things - the radio would not keep the last station or input I had it set on when I was last in the...

    That's exactly how I run the CTEK connection on my Shelby. Works great.
  14. Radio issues

    Lately when I come back to the truck, the radio is OFF, on an AM station, and going to Sirius shows "0" Radio ID until I change stations. My wife's 2017 Escape recently had the battery go bad, she indicated hers was doing the AM radio thing first, then disabling the auto/start stop and kicking...

  17. FORD TUNER, I WENT WITH THIS SO AS TO NOT VOID THE WARRANTY

    That part is the key right there, there is always a risk but this particular term seems to be the lowest risk.
  18. Clunk felt in steering wheel at acceleration.

    Hitting a good bump I feel like a slight 'thunk' in the steering wheel. No real noise, almost like a small jolt in the feel.
