After putting in neutral and doing some aggressive 70 mph stops on the friction brakes attempting to scrub the rust off my rotors, I started getting a brake warning light when shifting to neutral while rolling. Then it would come and go before being a constant problem. Error was C1014-07-68...

I swear I saw this discussed somewhere on here but cannot find it. I thought you could command the coolant valves/pumps with Forscan. After doing a "warranty flush" on my coolant, I fumbled around with forscan trying to figure out where to command the pumps/diverter valves to purge the air...

I'm looking for information on the cells used in the FFE with the intent of evaluating the feasibility of rebuilding a FFE battery, possibly with higher energy density cells. If anyone knows where I can find information on the LG cell models used in the FFE packs and/or similar sized cells from...

Sync 2 to Sync 3 FFE upgrade guide: Sync 3 ditches Microsoft windows CE in favor of Blackberry's QNX operating system. Besides new features and a better UI, the touch screen is MUCH more responsive. Hardware for the upgrade is as follows: - Sync 3 APIM and screen. (the Sync 2 screen is...

I'm contemplating upgrading my '14 to sync 3. I have a couple questions for those with 2016-2018 FFE's Do the climate controls appear on the Sync 3 screen? Also is there an "info" screen like on Sync2 that shows battery percentage etc? I'd really appreciate anyone's thoughts who has had...

Now that the price on these things have come down to almost 1/2 what they were 3-4 years ago when I first pondered this. I am again contemplating adding a parking heater. I likely won't get to it before spring so it would be for next winter but I figured I'd start this thread to flesh out some...

In case anyone is interested in the Scangauge. They have a special firmware just for us. Unfortunately you have to buy direct from then or if you already have yours I think you can pay something like $25 for them to update the special FFE firmware. Below is what the emailed me showing what...

I know I've seen discussed on here before but I can't seem to find it. Sorry for starting another thread on the topic. My Model 3 has booted the FFE out of the garage so for the first time it will no longer have a warm comfy garage to charge in over winter. I'm trying to come up with a cheap...

I bought a set of 15" Volvo wheels for some winter tires since the OE tires suck so bad in snow. However the tires on them are good but a little small (195/65) so I decided to put them on the rear and see how long it takes to trigger a TPMS error to decide if it was worth getting TPMS sensors...

6-7-18 Seeing as how I have no back up for my EVSE should the magic smoke ever leak out, and I'm a cheap bastard, I started pondering a cheap temporary solution should my EVSE ever fail. Public charging options are sparse and quite inconvenient... I stumbled across the BareEVSE over on the...

Looking for the following recommendations for winter tires: - 2 front winter tires vs all 4 wheels. - Brand/model experiences (both good and bad) - Studable vs studless. I don't plan to use studs but I've seen attractive pricing on some tires designed for studs. Is there a performance...

So my thoughts after the first 72 hours... I now understand why Tesla has 90+% brand loyalty. Despite its shortcomings it’s by a moon shot the best car I’ve ever owned. I still have yet to figure out how to put it in neutral, supposedly this is covered in the manual which I haven't read that...

I picked up my Model 3 yesterday and I am amazed at the efficiency compared to the FFE. My journey started out at 90F for about 2/3 of the way before I hit a pretty good thunderstorm and the temp dropped to 72F. Then coming out of the storm 20 minutes later it went back up to 84. The air...

Now we know May 7 is the end of the line for FFE and Focus in North America :cry: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/wda/Ford_Wayne_616267_7.pdf Chinese production of the Focus for North America isn't supposed to start until late 2019. I assume this will be a 2020 model and there will be no...

Saw this on the fb group. Rumor has it the credit survived the reconciliation process. We should know for sure by next Wednesday. http://www.autonews.com/article/20171213/OEM05/312139935/ev-credit-survives-compromise-tax-bill

I had planned on removing my TCU when free MFM expires to eliminate some of the drain on the 12V battery when the car is off. Out of curiosity I pulled the fuse for the TCU to see if anything else would stop working. Since I couldn't talk to the car any more via MFM I got the right fuse. It's...

You can wire your dash cam's power from behind the overhead console. First the usual disclaimers: The following information is for entertainment purposes only. Use at your own risk. Your mileage may vary. etc etc. Now on to how to remove the overhead console. I'm Blatantly stealing some from...

I have no value charge profile and my car is set to charge now. So why am I getting notifications that my car is scheduled to being charging soon and needs to be plugged in? They are at seemingly random times.

https://torkliftcentral.com/vehicles-wanted If anyone lives near Kent, WA and has a 2015+ FFE, wants a hitch mount, and can live without their car for a few days so they can design a hitch for your car, they will give you one installed for free. I have one on my 2014 FFE and love it.
