    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.

    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

    In early July, my '14 FFE developed a very annoying charging problem. Basically, it stops charging after about an hour. If I restart the charging session, it will charge for even less. So, once I've run it down to 15 miles range or so, it could take 5-10 (or more) charge attempts to get a...

    Affordable home charger recommendations?

    I rent a home that has a 220 outlet at the side of the house (outdoors, slightly recessed/covered). There's a large, old GE wall charger connected to it. The charger just failed and I need to buy something since the owner of the home doesn't want/need the charger anymore. What are people...

    No door lock/unlock button - what's the deal?

    Feel like a real idiot here, but isn't everyone finding it strange there is no lock/unlock button available to the driver in our FFEs? I mean, if you're going to pick someone up how are you supposed to allow them in the car? Reach over and pull the handle or use the keyfob? What am I missing...

    Possible to install the ST or 2015 bumper/grille on FFE?

    I really prefer the bumper cover and grille of the 2015 Titanium and even base model Focus (or any ST grille) to what is on the FFE. The new grille, and certainly the one from the ST, is wider, sharper, more aggressive and better looking to me. Does anyone know if the cover/grille is...

    FS: 2014 FFE Wheels & Tires (coming soon)

    There's no classifieds subforum, so posting in here... Thinking of upgrading my FFE's wheels/tires and putting a feeler out there to see if anyone might be interested in buying the factory wheels and tires from my 2014 FFE. The tires have about 2,000 miles on them and the wheels are in perfect...

    Any way to turn on the cabin fan without heater or A/C?

    As everyone knows, using our electric heater consumes an incredible amount of battery. However, if there a way to just turn on the fan to get some air flow, without turning on the heater or A/C? If so, I presume that would use a LOT less battery - sometimes it would be nice to just to have a...

    An additional 120v charging cable is ~$700? Really?

    Was considering buying an extra charge cable to keep it in the car to use while I'm at work. But are they really ~$700? For that, I may as well buy a 240v charger and keep the original in the car.

    If anyone has put on lightweight (~20lb) 18" rims with 235/40 tires, has the impact on range, ride quality and handling been significantly positive/negative? In what ways?

    FFE with aftermarket wheels - could you post pics?

    Hating the look of the factory wheels on my 2014 FFE. Checking options on TireRack but not finding anything I love. Could a few of you post pics of what you've installed? Real pics vs. TireRack's simulator are much more helpful. I've found that the look of the FFE grill really changes the...
