    Yep, it's a pain. But search the forum. Iirc, someone suggested removing a fender bolt to provide a bit more wiggle room.

    Looks very familiar ?

    Let me add my thanks. It's too bad some of the more knowledgeable members have chosen to leave. But perhaps they will check in again; let us hope so. Cheers.

    FWIW, I've found my 2013 SEL very comfortable (90k+ mi).

    Assuming it was the 12V battery that was replaced, your issue may well be caused by the battery-age-reset-procedure not having been done. Your car needs to be told when the 12V battery is replaced in order to keep the new battery charged properly. So if the battery age wasn't reset, you will likely need another new 12V battery (and the battery age reset at that time). Search the forum for more info. Cheers.

    FWIW, my (2013 SEL) back-up sensors failed to work when the 12V battery was on it's last legs. Lots of funkiness with a weak 12V battery. Cheers.

    Try injector cleaner. Lucas is good. Good luck with the car. 90k mi. on mine and I'm still very happy with it. No backup camera, so I can't help with that.

    I think the transmission issue was first noticed in vehicles used in taxi service.

    There's a TSB for this in the Maint. section.

    Google says that's correct, i.e. 3.67 degrees = 220.2 minutes = 3 degrees 40.2 minutes.

    I couldn't resist ?

    No. The liftgate has an electric latch. So don't store jumper cables back there.

    For the benefit of some of the newer members, there's a manual (i.e. non-Forscan) procedure for resetting the battery age. Search the forum for details. But Forscan is more fun ? Cheers.

    To be clear, technical service bulletin 14-0151 was issued in August, 2014.

    Try the simplest (and cheapest) first: injector cleaner. Cheers.

    My body shop fixed mine by simply sliding under the rear bumper and, I assume, reconnecting the sensor wires. Took all of about 90 seconds. The wires had apparently been disconnected as part of minor collision repair. Sorry, I don't know the extent of the underbody splash guards. Cheers.

    On the 2013 SEL's, there's a backup sensor connector under the rear bumper; check it. Also, loss of rear parking aid function, again on my 2013, was an indication of a tired 12V battery. But in this case there were no notifications, just the infamous "dead car" syndrome. Cheers, Bill

    Might want to have the brakes checked, A shoe/pad hanging up can cause such symptoms. Carefully feel each wheel (not the tire) after you've driven 4 or 5 miles. If one or more is hot, you've a brake issue. Cheers.

    "Some 2013-2016 Fusion, MKZ and 2013-2016 C-MAX vehicles ..." I wonder if this isn't a missprint. Normally one would expect: "Some 2013-2016 Fusion, MKZ, and C-MAX vehicles ..."

    Sounds like your car may have daytime running lights, a feature common to fleet and Canadian models. There's software called Forscan that can change this setting (as can the dealer, of course). Cheers.

    FWIW, I found one of the symptoms of a failing 12V battery is a failure of the backup warning beeper to work. This in addition to flakey radio, etc.
  25. Bill-N
    Agreed. And I've been wondering if one couldn't make something that would simply extend the fuse to a more accessible place.
