Sounds like there is a short in that circuit. That is why it is blinking fast.

How bad do you want sync 3? There is an upgrade. Or you can buy a 2016 or newer.

Just make sure your key fob has the metal emergency key in case you can't open the door to jump the battery.

Did you replace the mirror? Did the wire to the temp. sensor get reconnected?

Got $12 check today via email which is nice but it still takes a long time to approve.

The cable in the picture releases the latch so that it can be opened. Then you can push on the yellow lever to pop the hood.

I would try a new fob battery and all 5 doors before calling a tow truck. Here is picture of the release mechanism. I could see the ground behind & below the release cable for the hood.

Looking forward to seeing those!

Check inside the wood for drugs, precious stones, etc : )

Normal warning to save the battery. Lasts about 10 minutes with a new battery. As your battery ages the amount of time the radio will play goes down.

Were those the original plugs? How did they look?

Radio froze up this morning. Pulled F79 the 15A blue fuse. This is located under the glove box. F79 is the lowest 15A fuse on the 3rd row. Fixed my problem. There are two plastic catches to squeeze and then remove the cover panel to gain access. 2nd time in 5 years this has happened.

When I got my cmax the ramps that I used on my previous car would not work because the cmax is so low to the ground. I had to use a jack and stands to be able to change the oil. Changing the oil was easy once you get it jacked up.

SnowStorm how many miles do you have on your car? Is there a filter for the transmission fluid?

Haven't had that problem but the salesman told me that you have to keep the sensors clean or they won't work right.

Here is mine on left rear @ 45k miles. Still original tires.

Try running the Vehicle Health report and look at the output you get back in an email.

When it is very cold my ICE will start immediately even with heat turned off.

I think a few people lost the Lifetime Summary after one of the ford updates.

Its not easy to get higher mpg until you learn to brake so that you always get in high 90's percent. And then accelerate to your crusing speed and then keep a VERY light foot on the accelerator until you run down the HVB. If you are taking lots of short trips that will kill your mpg as the car isn't warmed up. If it is cold outside use the seat heaters until the car warms up or the car will force the ICE to run to supply the cabin heat. While you are learning to drive for higher mpg's you can initialize the mpg display on the steering wheel controls to give you immediate feedback on how you are doing on each trip. I am getting about 45mpg lifetime and about 50 in the summer and 40 in the winter. If you have a choice on how to get to a destination take the 45mph streets rather than the freeway and it will improve your mpg. Good luck!

While being in neutral accelerating the car may be more efficient, roads have curves and speed limits which limit the efficiency. So it is much more practical to charge up the the HVB and use it when its needed later.

Try turning off the foot and forward vents when trying to defrost quickly.

You are right about the brakes being sensitive. It took me a while to get used to them. But the good news is you are charging the battery back up.

Probably not a good idea. Wouldn't gain you much space and there are wires and controls in there.
