Removing Third Brake Light
timber725 replied to timber725's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors & Wipers
May be I'm slow... but those diagrams taught me nothing about removing the light from the hatch itself. The manual instructs to push those two clips in. I'm going to have find my own tricks. Thanks for the diagrams. It will help those who are trying to take the panel off. -

"They contain vehicle-to-vehicle safety systems, which allow them to communicate with other cars as well as infrastructure elements like stop lights and traffic cameras. So, for example, if a connected car were entering a blind corner, and there were a disabledvehicle stopping traffic around the bend, the car's V2V system would alert the driver to slow down or even apply the brakes on her behalf. " Uh no thanks. Don't BRAKE my car! -
torklift install is really easy to do. Just require a pair of pliers and a socket set. Both will cost you less than $20 to get at HD or Lowes or Sears. You don't even need to jack the car up. I did it on the floor. It will help if you have a second person to help lift the hitch into place.

timber725 replied to fotomoto's topic in Articles, News & Reviews
Yes, I thought that since I paid mo money for MFT with nav that I would get AppLink capabilities. I a couple of hours trying to figure out how to get it to work. I blame Microsoft for a bad OS. I blame Ford for choosing Microsoft. What other production ready alternatives do they have? I wish Google would just make an Automotive version of Android. Why do I need AppLink if I can just install NORMAL apps on it and tether it to my phone WIFI for data? So far only BAD Chinese HUs offer Android versions that probably don't work well. BLAH. This subject gets on my nerve! -

Removing Third Brake Light
timber725 replied to timber725's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors & Wipers
Oh yeah, I got that part. It's the clip. Manual says to push it in and the push the whole thing to the front of the car than out. It just don't work that way. -
What is the best way to remove the third brake light. I know there are four clips holding it in. Two I can easily access, but the other two is in the back. I have bent them out of shape while forcing the light out. I know I'm doing something wrong cause it's excessively difficult.

MFT-Something new for Maxius
timber725 replied to mtb9153's topic in Audio, MyFord, Navigation & SYNC
is that what the delay setting do. I thought it was a delay in the camera video feed. I always wonder why would I want to see what's behind me a few seconds later? :drool: -
Setting temp on LO, set fant to LOW, turning off AC, and disable recirculation. But if the outside air temp is desirable and I'm traveling at 60MPH, why run the fan at all if it's just to let in fresh air.
-
Is it possible to just open the vent and let in fresh air without have the climate control on? I have not been able to do this. I just want fresh cold air from outside. Instead, I get warm air coming at 60 degree (outside 45 degree). And I noticed that climate control was sucking up 10% of my EV range. So now I drive with climate control off and it gets too warm and need fresh air. I never knew something that used to be so basic on all cars is not a likely feature. What's so hard about just opening up that vent?
-
Can the climate control run indefinately?
timber725 replied to HPRifleman's topic in Climate Control
Isn't it easy to test if this works? It just takes one night to know. -
How is the reception.

just let your insurance company deal with hunting down the culprit. (although, it may not be likely) this claim should not affect your future premiums so I wouldn't worry about it.

Replacing Headlight Bulbs
timber725 replied to MikeB's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors & Wipers
I will have to give the hood torx screw a try. I wanted to take the foglights off, and was going to remove the headlamps to see if I can get to it. I failed.
