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.

Wheel bearings, hope it's not the transmission.

I suggest... Just fully charge the battery first. Jumping the battery and short drives don't last if the battery was dead. After fully charging if you are still having problems take it to a battery place and have them test the battery, usually no charge for this. Then if the test shows the battery is bad replace it.
