  1. I didn't notice his battery until I tried to duplicate, took the picture THEN :drop:
  2. My history is telecommunications, the VERY HARDEST trouble to fix was ALWAYS a missing or loose ground!!! That DC power WILL find a ground it may be turning on/off a light (rolling a window down, draining a battery), etc., ETC.
  3. Thanks...added to bookmarks. Your trouble is probably in the "MTH" pid Hv Battery State-of-Charge: units % TXD:07E4224801 RXF: 046245480601 RXD: 3010 Mth : 000100050000 NAM: SoC How much bigger is the Energi battery than our hybrid? Looking at your display it looks about 40+/-%??? Ask them where they got the mth#. It's probably just 1 or two digits that need to be changed.
  4. Off topic I've printed this picture and tomorrow I'm going to duplicate it, anybody think I'll get 50+mpg? Back on topic. Where did you get the PID code for the xguage SOC? The cmax is truly a hybrid, 1/2 Europe 1/2 N. America, maybe you need a hybrid pid??? wab
  5. I would rather see pennies per mile. Tell your car how much you pay for the electricity, gas, hydrogen, etc. It should be able to tell how much you put in ='s pennies per mile.
  6. I had a few minutes yesterday and did some research on Mr. banned Burke, thinking he was a troll. He's not, found him on Facebook he's been calculating his "MPGe" wrong for several months. He thinks he's been getting 60+ MPG when really getting less than 40 for months. His "see-saw method" comes from high tech camera optics "Application of the see-saw method to all refracting optical systems". Fotomoto may find him in camera related searches, I did. His "grapheme nano-supercapictor" is really spelled graphene supercapacitor. May I suggest that a moderator lock a couple of his threads with a disclaimer, they could be confusing if found in future searches. Maybe send him an email explaining that "Pulse and Glide" and MPGe are well established terms. Maybe??? offer him probation with each of his future posts being checked by a moderator????
  7. Not trying to stir the pot, BUT I don't remember very many (if any) 1 finger salutes in our BMW's or the Mini Cooper (manufactured by BMW). BUT I DO salute civic, Prius, Focus, etc, etc :rant: !!! drivers when they try to run over the front wheel of my motorcycle. Thanks for reading :rockon: I feel better now. wab
  8. Greetings and welcome Robert As you can see there are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum. Here's what I tell friends when they ask about MPGe(quivalent) The equivalent formula comes from the EPA, it converts the amount of electricty put into the Energi battery at a plug in station (the 110/220 AC plug in your garage) to the distance that could be driven on a gallon of gasoline. hope this helps wab
  9. Jus proves that it doesn't matter what you're driving IF YOU'RE TEXTING! baam
  10. Note to moderator, we need another smiley. May I suggest this one We've been lucky enough to have had 2 and a :flirt: Mini Cooper.
  11. Have you had any 12V battery problems? If you have I would be very tempted to at least look at their offer.
  12. Could someone "Quote" the professional? I would like to see his professional comments on whether he has to preform all the recalls that are listed on FordEtis when a car comes in. Thanks wab
  13. SORRY i can't resist. but first I'm seriously thinking about getting some Gas Pod's. I want to combine them with a Shark Fin with just 6 Pods. Now to answer your question. "where would you put them for the greatest benefit?" Back in the box. :lol:
  14. Didn't I read somewhere that Ford just hired a 1000 programmers?
  15. AH HA evidently the chime has been successful at reminding me to leave the fob or turn the car off. With the fob in my pocket it chimes when I open the door and HONK HONKs when I get out and close it. I'm happy with the chime.
  16. Where's a LAWYER when you need one? I'm pretty sure that once a problem is documented it has a forever warranty till it's fixed. Speaking of your car. I bet there are a dozen engineers gathered around it right now going :happy feet: :worship: :yahoo: :drool: WE FINNALY caught one in the act!
  17. We spent ours on the #2 reason we bought the cmax. A cover for the motor home. OUCH those thing are expensive and only last about/maybe 4 yrs.
  18. My PC/smartphone/tablet/etc think they are smarter than me. Till I pull the power plug/battery THEN THEY understand whose smarter :lol2: .
  19. 8% (is this a marketing # or has it been documented?) seems a little high for a car that spends most of it's time below 55 MPH. Our car spends most of its time above 55 MPH.
  20. I don't think dealerships have a choice about "Safety Recalls." When/IF you take it in they have to do it. They did ours a couple of weeks ago. I like it better than the HONK HONK it used to make when I stepped away from the car.
  21. We looked at the Lexus RX450h. A little heavy for the motor home and the seat is too high for DW (the reason we don't buy cars anymore).
  22. We have one running around. Looks and sounds like a gas weed eater. Thing looks about 5' long. He keeps up with traffic just fine, about :flyaway: 30.
  23. ops I meant to update this a month ago, thanks Tom. I pulled ours off last month and a spoon full of water came out of the passenger side. It was clear, maybe condensation? wab
  24. This seems to be just like that lady that testified before congress about the "Affordable Care Act" Congressman: Mrs ..... did you log in and set up a your account before it went public. Mrs ....: uh I setup an account so I could see stuff. Congressman: Mrs ..... LET ME ASK YOU one more time, did you log in and set up your own personal account before it went public. Mrs ....: uh un uh no   Customer: Mr Ford did you drive or have any C-Max driv/driven before selling them? Mr Ford: uh a committee reviewed a cmax Customer: LET ME ASK YOU one more time, did you test the cmax? Mr Ford: uh uh a couple of mail room employees took some home for the weekend, they said they liked them. NOTE to MR. FORD: Step out of your office point your finger straight out do a 360* turn while YELLING "YOU stop what YOU are doing and FIX THIS PROBLEM!!"
