A few days ago, I explained how me checking the current draw through a multimeter screwed things up. Before that was done, my 12V battery had been disconnected for about a week. So the HV battery showed 0 miles and 0 kw ETE. I knew this to be completely wrong as I remember the HV battery had...

I got two questions, which I am not for certain if anyone has provided the information here. 1. Is there such a thing as a map of the cells in the battery, that would indicate in which pack, and where, cel X is located? 2. Its my understanding that the BECM balances at the end of a charge. At...

Instead of writing a long winded story, I decided to make it short. If you are messing around with your 12V battery, and for some reason, your coolant pumps spin up to 50% and hold there even after the vehicle is powered off and locked. And if your HV battery now for some unknown reason has...

So on occasion I inspect the HV connectors and such, just to make sure no corrosion is happening. I wanted to disconnect the HV cable to the lower battery pack, but just could not do it. I was able to push in the very tiny blue tab and then slide the larger blue tab that releases the handle, but...

I typically do not list cars for sale, unless it seems like a decent deal. Mind you, this is California. https://www.fordblueadvantage.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=670116064 $13k, 70k miles, leather interior, 1 owner. If you were really wanting an electric car with DCFC...

So I am wanting to rotate the tires, and am trying to determine good lifting points. Yes, I know of the triangles on the rocker panels that indicate the lifting points. But those rocker panels were intentionally made for the ICE vehicle. Also, when you look in the service manual, they indicate...

I noticed that FordPass had an update available on the Apps Store. I was hoping that the update would take care of the missing Energy Consumed type information. Nope, still not there, however now My Journeys is gone, and been replaced by a very simple and boring My EV Driving. So if you like the...

I was doing some part searching and stumbled upon this: https://www.discountfordpartsfromsoundford.net/Ford-Part-Number-Index-p/cm5z-10b759-h.htm Some sites claim that this is the HV battery assembly for the 2017 FFE. $5300? This might be a god send for someone who's battery has given up the...

So the MyFord Mobile app doesn't even try to work, it just pretty much says: "You're Hosed!" So I thought to check the Ford Pass app, just to see if it still communicates with the car. Nope. But I noticed on the Home screen, there is a recall icon. If I touch it, it opens a file about the ATT 3G...

So this is why I believe it takes so long for Ford to provide a replacement HV battery, even after it is decided to replace the battery. If you have other thoughts, please share. 1. HV Batteries can't be stored long term. The nature of the lithium ion battery is that it needs to be kept within...

So after I updated to the latest My Ford Mobile for IOS, the app just doesn't open. Blue screen. Nothing else. However, I have updated to the latest My Ford Mobile for Android, and that works fine. I have removed the app from the iPhone, powered off, reinstalled the app, and still blue screen...

So I got the message to update the MyFord Mobile app from within the app, and in true Ford fashion, was not able to use my current version until updated. Hence forced to update. In the App Store, I read what the update was (bug fixes, like always) and noticed this text at the bottom of the...

I could not search for this, so I am asking, has anyone made the upgrade to Sync 3.4 as described here? https://cyanlabs.github.io/Syn3Updater/ I have gone through the steps to update my laptop OS, install the .NET packages, install the syn3updater software and create a USB stick. But I am...

I did a quick search and saw nothing of this. Tonight, I shifted the car into reverse to back out of the garage, and for a moment, the instrument cluster left video display showed "Normal Mode". What is Normal Mode? And what mode would the car be in if not Normal Mode? The Engineering Test Mode...

Don't know if anyone else has discussed this. Did a search and did not see any result. So for more info about Engineering Test Mode, refer to this webpage https://fordfusionhybridforum.com/topic/10057-engineering-test-modedealer-test-mode/ To get into Engineering Test Mode: Enter vehicle with...

First a disclaimer. I have no interest with this dealership. I cannot vouch for them. I just saw this and thought that if someone was looking for a deal on a FFE, this would be one...

I tried to search if others have asked this question, but was denied, with the explanation that Warning Range were too common of words. Ok..... So for shits and grins, I took my 2017 down to 0 miles range. Fortunately I was near a stout 240V charger. I started the drive with 8 miles left to go...

I did a search and did not see anything, so apologies if I am being redundant. Has anyone personally replaced the 12V battery in the 2017 or 2018 FFE? I have the 2017 service manual, and is shows the procedure for the 2016 and earlier. Namely, the front junction box is in the way of sliding out...

One would hope that the Dealer / Manufacturer relationship was symbiotic. Unfortunately it isn't always. To clear the air, generally speaking, car dealerships are independent of the automobile manufacturer who's vehicles they sell. Similarly, car makers have little influence on the dealers...

We know that our high voltage lithium batteries are sensitive to temperature, particularly during charging. So a good battery thermal management system is key to its longevity. I was browsing through the 2014 service manual and came across this diagram. This is the cooling/heating loop for...
