I was a little disappointed also about the 100 mile range, but the DC fast charging might make up for that.

Last week I had to take my 2014 Focus electric in for the SSN issue for the second time. The first time, back in May, the dealer cleaned the connector and applied conductive grease to the smaller terminal as instructed by the TSB. This time, however, the technician called Ford and was given some...

Hybridbear, You should have gotten a 110 % for stopping in time. I'm a cyclist myself, but that guy that ran the light deserves a 0%. Where I live, cyclists are required to observe all traffic laws, just as motorists.

My mistake. Confused it with another connector.

The Motorcraft site is subscription based. You can subscribe for 1 month for about 20.00. I don't know if I'm allowed to post things from their website. Let me see what I can do. You should be able to give the dealer that TSB # and they can look it up. I had originally taken my FFE in for a...

A new TSB just came out today on the Motorcraft Service website. The TSB is 15-0031 and involves getting DTC P0A0A:01. This refers to a connection issue with the high voltage interlock near the battery pack. If your dealer has not addressed this issue, I would take it to them asap and have them...

There is a TSB on charging issues on motorcraft's service site. The TSB is 14-0227. If you encounter this again, take it to your dealer and have them install the patch if that is the problem.

If you have an OBD reader or can borrow one that will work on the Focus, check the DTC readout for a brake booster pressure sensor error. I found that on mine, checked the sensor connector, and found brake fluid in the connector. As you are facing the booster, the sensor is located on the lower...

I recently had a problem with brake fluid leaking into the power brake booster. I got a C0047 code while running an OBD scan. Apparently brake fluid damaged the pressure sensor on the booster and it had to be replaced. I am thinking my car had a defective master cylinder installed at the factory...

Another thing to keep in mind regarding the dc-dc converter is that it can deliver as much as 100 amps of charge current to that 12 volt battery, according to the service manual. That's almost a 3C charge rate. I know of no other service manuals other than the online version. I paid for a year's...

According to the MotorCraft service manual, the battery is rated at 43 amp hours. Deep cycle batteries are usually rated in Amp hrs. I recently had to remove my 12V battery and tray to check a brake booster issue. Pretty light for a lead acid battery. Deep cycle batteries are much heavier due to...

Has your dealer run any OBD scans to check for error codes? If so, see if you can post them here.

Since I experienced my first, and hopefully, only SSN, I keep the following items in my car: Voltmeter plugged into the 12V accessory port to monitor the 12v battery 12V emergency portable jumpstart. I bought this one from Sears which has a handy push button charge level check. OBD Bluetooth...

Success! I can now access the OBDlink-mx and pull data.
