For starters, I would measure the 12v battery without the charger and see what it reads. Can you put the car in a garage and warm it up to see if the problem is temperature related? I've seen the hybrid battery that low a couple times but it didn't affect the operation.

(English) Hello forum, I am having a problem regarding the screen of my C-Max 2013 Hybrid, I just bought it and first of all I could not activate the BT sound and then the options provided by the buttons stopped working except for the power button. "menu" with the option to adjust menu and screen. Please, someone who knows how to use it, I ask for your help. Greetings and thanks forum

Wow, amazing! How dirty was the transmission fluid at 150k? My daughter has my old 2013 SEL with 80k , and no repairs so far. My son has 2016 Energi with 85k and no repairs so far. Doesn't go as far on battery only though.

Heh heh, yeah good idea to do stretching exercises before doing that one. 😀

I would focus on the electrical problem first. You said "Seat has absolutely no power. Checked with volt meter etc. " Once you get power to the seat & motors you can see if the if the track has a problem. Good Luck!

Sounds electrical, maybe motor. lots of repair shops can work on problems like this. Call and ask them.

What happens when you push the button to move the seat? No noise or movement check fuse. If fuse is ok check electrical connector under seat for a pin(s) not making good connection. Some noise/movement but not normal movement check for something jammed in the track. If the track is really bad take it to non-dealer repair shop and ask them to use used parts from a salvage yard.

There are lots of used sync 2 modules for cheap on ebay from people that have upgraded to sync 3. If a bad module is your problem that would be a cheap way to go.

Good luck! Our C-max has gone 11 years about 80k miles with no major problems.

Depends on how many daily miles you drive. You can get by with 120v if you have short commutes and live in a warmer area. If you have long commutes and live in a colder area then 240v will work better. Get an estimate on adding a 240v outlet. Fords can now charge at Tesla superchargers too.

I went from 2013 c-max to 2023 Mach-E in Nov last year. Really like it, So far no problems. Have gotten about a dozen over the air updates. Sold my old c-max to my daughter and it is still running ok.

Wow, do you drive the car when the cabin is 90-100? Does the AC function? Our radio died when we had a heat wave 110+ outside. Once the temps came down the radio started working again.

You can disconnect the ANC connector and see what that does. I believe it is under the dash on the passenger side.

Another tip when replacing the 12V battery in rear of the car hook up jumper cables & 12V power source under the hood and you won't lose any programming in the car.
