I looked up the power requirements for the pellet stove. 115 VAC,60 Hz, Start 4.2 Amps, Run 2.8 Amps This quite a bit more than the 100 watts folks actually measured but I believe this is caused by the igniter which can be turned off and you can manually light the pellets. The stove is even designed to be able to go out and startup again if it gets colder. Here is a product they produce for power failures but this uses a deep cycle battery and only lasts for 8 hrs or however long the battery lasts. http://www.woodmanspartsplus.com/65651/736584/Pellet/Pellet-Stove-Battery-Backup.html Allowing for worst case design I expect they are allowing for the igniter to be running.

Sounds like an intermittant problem in the circuit that detects the fob and starts the car. Probably difficult to diagnose & repair.

I already have conventional 5.5kw generator for the house but my pellet stove requires a clean sine wave for power so I need another solution.

Just found out my stove when operating takes about 90-100 watts and the standard CMAX 12v DC -120v AC converter is rated at 150 watts. Most of the stove load is motors however. (fans and screw motor for the pellets) There is also the initial pellet igniter which takes many more watts but I can turn that off and light the pellets manually. Should I just try it?

34k miles on my 2013 hybrid. Original tires. 45 mpg lifetime, no mods, no drafting!! :) Passenger seat heater replaced. Windshield replaced (truck rock). Half dozen recalls done. Carpet had to be reglued in the hatch area.

The one in the link wired directly to the HVB to get more power but just running my pellet stove I could probably get by with the smaller one as you suggested.

Anyone try doing this with their hybrid? http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/guest-blogs/running-our-house-prius-power I recently got a pellet stove and have been thinking about upping the inverter power in the c-max to be able to run the pellet stove during a power outage.

Not on my c-max but got it on my ford explorer, was just a bad switch in the door. Replaced it myself. Was about $15 part off ebay.

Summer of 2013 cmax's were reprogrammed from 62 to 85 I believe

I just get the motorcraft filter , I don't think walmart carries the mobile one filters. Here is one on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mobil-1-M1-102-Extended-Performance-Oil-Filter-New-/162333582099

Mobile One Rebate is still going on this year. $25 @ walmart for 5 qts https://mobiloil.com/en/promotion/mobil-promotions/up-to-15-dollars-off-with-mobil-1-and-mobil-super

I would also go for a quieter tire too as long as the mpg's didn't suffer but for now my tires only have about 30k on them so they can wait a little longer.

Got mine done today. Took about 6 hrs. They said they had to take all 4 doors apart.

Great troubleshooting!

Someone on the fusion forum posted a link that you can download 3.8. I downloaded and installed successfully.

I think the link may be broken on some platforms/browsers

Still doesn't work for me, it will work if you remove these characters after .html %C2%A0

Yes, I just pulled on it and it popped off and easily snapped back into place when I was done.

My wife used the rear washer today and said fluid was leaking from the ceiling by the front passenger seat. I pulled off the plastic molding by the windshield and noticed a fluid tubing junction was pulled apart. Pushed the two pieces of tubing back together and they clicked and locked. Temperature was 16F this morning so I guess it contracted and pulled them apart. If it happens again I will tape the junction.

What settings are lost if the 12V is interrupted?

Yes heat shortens the battery life but I don't live in AZ anymore. Where I live it seems like it is always the cold freezes that kill my batteries.

Did the cold weather kill the battery? I still have the original march 2013 battery in my car. How much did Ford want for a new one? If they only last 4 years I guess I would want to check the date code on the new one.

You are not the first to notice this. http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/2414-cloud-of-smoke/?hl=smoke
