Cr08, Thanks for the details. Where did you get the hardware sync 3 hardware? Does CyanLabs charge for their updater?

The difference in price between the 2013 & 2016 is about the cost of a new transmission. TANSTAAFL

Does the Escape PHEV give up storage room like the Energi does?

Sorry to hear that. Not many miles. That year shouldn't have the same transmission bug that 2013-2014's had. But at least it should be covered under the warranty.

Got up to 110F and higher here today in PNW. Got in my C-max and radio wouldn't turn on. Drove to store and radio worked normally for the trip home. I guess since the windows were closed and the sun was shining in, it was too hot. If I lived in AZ I would have to get this fixed.

I have no experience with Forscan but here is the support page which may be helpful in getting started. https://www.obdlink.com/support/mxp/

Ford Maverick EV, Other Variants Could Spawn Entire Family, Says CEO Jim Farley https://fordauthority.com/2021/06/ford-maverick-ev-other-variants-could-spawn-entire-family-says-ceo-jim-farley/

yes, you have to connect to the obd device too. probably a trigger of some kind on the obd device to tell it to link to bluetooth. then you would have to pair to it on your phone.

Yeah I think that is the Area 51 color. Funny my wife wanted a Fit in 2013 but I talked her into getting C-max.

Did they check for any codes?

Here is a video.

Where is the petcock located?

Looks like they are working on it. https://fordauthority.com/2021/05/proposed-52-billion-in-funding-could-help-build-at-least-7-u-s-chip-plants/

Rats! Wonder why they can't get a US Foundry to produce the chips?

I connected an additional 600W PSW inverter to my c-max 12v battery so I could run our pellet stove in case of a power failure. Tested it out and it worked fine. Never used it in an actual emergency. Then last year I moved the inverter to our truck camper which has dual 12v deep cycle batteries and used that during a 2-day power failure about the same time as the texas power failures. The camper setup worked well by running our stove overnight and then I would fire up our generator during the day to recharge the batteries. If we have an extended power failure I might try connecting the inverter back into the c-max.

Would look to see if there is a plugged drain hole in the recessed area. And carefully inspect the gasket on the rear hatch, perhaps water is getting there. I also remember there was a drain hole on the bottom of the rear hatch and that some cars had that hole taped over such that water was collecting inside the hatch door.

Try pulling fuse 79 under the glovebox will reboot the sync.

Sounds good. So if you installed the battery the BMS needs to be reset. A dealer can do this or some OBD2 devices can do it. Even saw a manual DIY procedure once on this forum that may work to reset the battery age. Good Luck!

Same here, I think it’s the warmer weather.

There is a TSB for the battery drain. You can search this forum for that. Haven't had to open the fuse box under the hood so can't help you there. Are you sure your 12V battery is good?

Could have made a U-turn if C-max had tighter turning radius. ?

OP has an Energi

Look at this one. Does your car have roof rails?

Didn't realize the Sync 3 cars locked up too. Thought it was just the 2013-2015 that needed fuse 79 pulled once in a while. Is it working better now?
