With vehicles having this problem, I would suggest checking your 12V battery.

The auto headlamps turn on @ dusk.

DRL's run at a reduced voltage. The headlamps are not on @ 100% intensity. The auto headlamps are controlled by a light sensor on US vehicles.

Sorry, Frank.........I'm not the one with the problem. Thanks!

The HVAC case has temperature doors inside. When you set it to cooler the doors allow fresh air to enter into the system. When you set it to warmer temps, it allows the air to flow though the heater core. IMO, run both zones at the same temp. Yes, the hybrids do not have the heter element.

Setup the system to run in manual mode with the AC OFF. I run my temp setting @ 76°F when I'm looking for heat VS MPG's. I run the fan on low and have it set to push air on the floor and out the vents. This is called bi-level mode and it's the most comfortable for me, but I never have passengers 95% of the time. No matter what you do, the coolant element will activate with the heater on. I've noticed even in EV later with the ICE running, the system is using that heating element based on my battery numbers. I use it to supercharge my battery when descending large hills and can get my battery number up around 38 miles before the ICE will come on as a brake. I drive an NRG.

Excellent! Thanks for posting the tutorial too. Too bad you won't see this ;)

^^^^ That's okay if you think that :victory: Maybe it would be best if my posts were ignored by those that feel that way. Especially the input that's not directed towards you or didn't take you into account when it was posted :hat_tip:

:lol: Okay! Lack of wear :hat_tip:

You seem to be the only one insulted and I wasn't even talking/replying to you. You have problems and I'm not the source of them. Sorry! OMG! ....................I'll never use BOLD type again :lol2:

The only way to know is to try em. Tires are a personal preference and most people have such a difference of opinion, it's hard to know without testing them for yourself. IMO, MPG's are more important. It's a green car that handles well, but it's not a race car. Why worry about 2% better grip with a higher MPG hit. I purchased mine for an economical purpose, so the OE tires will be replaced with the same, unless something better comes along by then. These tires a perfect for my use and they seem to be wearing good @ the 4K mark. I run 55 to 60 psi.

Or you can get an OBDII plug that connects to a jumper if you don't wanna do that ;)

Look at this page and you'll find they are covered on page #19 line 3 as fuel injection system. Fed and CA have different coverage periods. CA starts on page # 21

Considering the FACT that, I wasn't talking to you in my reply........ Who cares how your little feelings, feel. Get over yourself and learn to deal with the truth. Your feelings posts are useless and add nothing. PLEASE!

If the policy covers it and you're within the policy coverage period, it's covered.

2 injectors isn't EVERYTHING. Dude, you need to get a grip.

You should read this before adding a battery to this car. Your vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft® maintenance-free battery which normally does not require additional water during its life of service. Note: If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled after the battery has been cleaned or replaced. Note: See an authorized dealer for low voltage battery access, testing, or replacement. When a low voltage battery replacement is necessary, see an authorized dealer to replace the low voltage battery with a Ford recommended replacement low voltage battery that matches the electrical requirements of the vehicle. To ensure proper operation of the battery management system (BMS), do not allow a technician to connect any electrical device ground connection directly to the low voltage battery negative post. A connection at the low voltage battery negative post can cause inaccurate measurements of the battery condition and potential incorrect system operation. Note: If a person adds electrical or electronic accessories or components to the vehicle, the accessories or components may adversely affect the low voltage battery performance and durability and may also affect the performance of other electrical systems in the vehicle. For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to the battery terminals. If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the acid with a solution of baking soda and water. When a battery replacement is required, the battery should only be replaced with a Ford recommended replacement battery that matches the electrical requirements of the vehicle. Because your vehicle’s engine is electronically-controlled by a computer, some engine control settings are maintained by power from the low voltage battery. Some engine computer settings, like the idle trim and fuel trim strategy, optimize the driveability and performance of the engine. Some other computer settings, like the clock and radio station presets, are also maintained in memory by power from the low voltage battery. When a technician disconnects and connects the low voltage battery, these settings are erased. Complete the following procedure in order to restore the settings: With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.Shift the transmission into P.Turn off all accessories.Step on the brake pedal and start the vehicle.Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. While the engine is warming up, complete the following: Reset the clock. See General Information. Reset the power windows bounce-back feature. See Power Windows. Reset the radio station presets. See General Information. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute. If the engine turns off, step on the accelerator to start the engine.While the engine is running, step on the brake pedal and shift the transmission to N.Allow the engine to run for at least one minute by pressing on the accelerator pedal.Drive the vehicle at least 10 miles (16 kilometers) to completely relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy.Note: If you do not allow the engine to relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy, the idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the engine computer eventually relearns the idle trim and fuel trim strategy. Note: Always dispose of automotive batteries in a responsible manner. Follow your local authorized standards for disposal. Call your local authorized recycling center to find out more about recycling automotive batteries. Note: It is recommended that the negative battery cable terminal be disconnected from the battery if you plan to store your vehicle for an extended period of time.

WELLLLLLLLLL! Considering they offer multiple coverage levels, it's not a simple yes or no. You need to READ the policy to know whats covered. Sorry if you don't like my reply, but it's to the point and most people need sugar with the truth. I don't carry any, so you'll need to find your own. I'm an insurance inspector for failure analysis. Some companies offer 8 different coverage levels and it's a common practice for the dealer to over charge for the base policy that isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Feel better now?

The car in the OP's picture is not the same one in your link.

Do the math. Have a local dealer see what the BECM has for rating inputs. If the numbers work, you can have them adjust it to what's required and you're done.

I agree with this statement. I own a Pico and use it all the time. Too bad you're not near me. Good luck with fixing it. Thanks for posting your findings. I hope they get it fixed without a long drawn out ordeal.

I find this statement to be incorrect. Take a picture of this temperature information, because my car only has an indicator from cold to hot with no degree info.

The car isn't a "lemon" because a component failed :drop:

All warranty coverage varies based on what coverage you buy. Same as any insurance policy. Read your policy and you'll know what is and isn't covered. IMO, this is something you should know before you pay for a policy.

I love it! Over build and under utilize :happy feet:
