    12v battery keeps draining daily - what are the biggest culprits?

    It's not. And thank you for documenting what you experienced - what a nightmare scenario. Thankfully looks like you found a workaround and documented the whole thing for us. How can I tell I've got the same thing draining my 12v? I do have a multimeter. I've had this issue for a year and...

    FFE 2013 now at dealer for 7 weeks for battery tests

    So, you just took it to them because the wrench appeared and got a new battery? Did you have battery drain or anything else noticeably wrong? I thought the wrench was just a check engine light (not to be trusted).

    12v battery keeps draining daily - what are the biggest culprits?

    Wondering what the biggest culprits of this common issue are and how to properly diagnose. I suspect my Ford service center will not be willing to diagnose the issue unless they actually see/experience it happening. Is there a highly common culprit? Do I need to do the painstaking multimeter...

    Suggestions for a charger for the 12v battery?

    The 12v accessory battery in my '14 FFE died again last week (second time in the last year). I've heard Ford might be able to fix this but I don't want to be caught stranded again. Could someone suggest a decent plug-in 12v battery charger (maybe via link to one on Amazon) ? Also, a...

    "Key not detected" - Is the keyfob battery just low?

    Does anyone know? My FFE is four years old, so it seems fitting the battery might just be low, but it's doing this now with increasing frequency. Anyone by chance know how to open/replace the battery? I did notice there's a small switch/lever on the back but it doesn't seem to do anything...

    What level 2 charger is everyone using these days?

    I'm moving soon and need to have a charger installed at my new place (outdoors). Which make/model of charger are people highly recommending these days? I have a '14 FFE.

    PERFORMANCE TUNING ANYONE?

    Norm, you and me both. Hopefully a tinkerer can figure that out. I'm sure there's some $$ to be made for whoever does.

    changing wheels and tires

    I also just switched to the Ventus V12 evo2 after putting almost 20k on the stock Energy Savers. Car is much more surefooted now - and doesn't 'hunt' on uneven pavement. Ride comfort and noise seems about the same. Surprisingly, I haven't noticed any loss in range (I do 50/50 Hwy/City). Best...

    ST bumper swap?

    Mine is platinum white and I'm debating whether to do this. Much different look on a black or grey FFE. Anyone know how difficult it would be to 'peel' it off if it doesn't look good? Have never used this stuff before.

    ST bumper swap?

    Keith, would you mind posting a picture of the result? The picture on the previous page was not of a Focus Electric grill, rather, was a traditional gas-powered Focus. The Electric's grill is much more narrow and not as aggressive looking.

    Wheel spacers

    I've heard they wreak havoc on your suspension, especially a less beefy suspension that I suspect the FFE has. What about wheels with a different offset? Not sure if that has the same effect on suspension but can achieve the same look while being a better-looking wheel than stock.

    Go Times not recognized; sync clock is off by ~ 12 hrs maybe

    Ok good to know - but how do I do a 'master reset' ?

    Go Times not recognized; sync clock is off by ~ 12 hrs maybe

    Just had the 2G modem replaced with the 3G and ever since, my car doesn't warm up in the morning (I have it set for 8AM). Also, I keep getting text message alerts around 9:12am saying my car isn't plugged in for my scheduled charge to begin. But my value charge session is scheduled for around...

    A charging problem Ford will not fix

    Now being told the main water pump (which cools the battery(ies) is bad. And they're on backorder.

    A charging problem Ford will not fix

    I wondered the exact same thing ;-)
