i had a drain issue on a 14 energi and dealer updated a firmware (whatever they said they did). my wallet was $550 thinner. it was good for about 1 year then backed to day one. going to pull 67 and 79 to test.

Hack! You reminded me now and I totally agree that bad grounding can cause all kind of weird behaviors. I'll clean and resit all grounding contacts where I can access. On another note, someone confirmed that the OBDLink EX you suggested does work with Win7. I'll order it, as I do need one regardless (3 Ford vehicles in my family! ? ) As always big thanks for your help!

cr08, awesome, I'll go get one. On the window version, I am still using laptop with windows but an older version (win 7), I'll ask the seller if it's compatible. I'd be more than happy to get one of that. Salute!!

Big thanks! It happened a few times. One time I was on highway it flashed, and yes, all meters were reset/bottomed out then back up as normal. I was in fear of being stranded on the middle of the road. Luckily it kept going. Average it's about once a month but no pattern when and where it happens. The recording was done days ago when I just turned on the car and backing out of garage it happened. I immediately stopped and caught the second happening. I like the idea of getting a code reader. Many of them are on Amazon I really don't know which one to go... Do you have a recommendation? Highly appreciate it.

nogoodbum, good point! The remote is still with the original battery, time for a new one... More brains are better than one. ☺️

Hello experts, need your help. My 2014 Energi has been acting up for about half a year by now. It could happen during idle, on highway running or anything in between - all of the sudden the meters on the cluster panel become inoperable, and light up in red, for a flash of second or two. Please watch this video I recorded: https://youtu.be/KLzOuodT5n4 at 11 second toward the end. Initially I thought it was chassis battery connection so I cleaned the terminals very well, and replaced the battery, no cure. Brought it to a dealer they couldn't duplicate the scenario and no codes from the ECM, so nothing was done. I am really at the wit's end. Any input is appreciated. Steve
