  1. Tesla to J1772 adapters ??

    Much ado has been made recently about Ford (& others) buying into a gadget that will let J1772 vehicles use Tesla charging stations. Seems far off; only 10 in NY and 10 in CA. Sounds like an adapter on a Tesla charging cable that would use or release based on what your Tesla charging account...
  2. random Courtesy Wipe happening ??

    Did a modest search for this and found nothing. In the past couple weeks (maybe since a recent "update"), I've noticed that at vehicle startup, or just randomly, I get a "courtesy swipe" of the (dry) wipers, just like what you get after doing a windshield wash. Anybody else seeing this? Seems...
  3. Don't understand 21C36 seatbelt recall

    From what I see, they over sized the tap hole for the anchor bolts. So the tap wouldn't cut deep enough threads and the bolts might not hold. Seems like the solution would be to start over with new plates, but maybe not feasible. I would think you would either use a tap that uses the hole...
  4. MME drive train, etc questions . . .

    Is there any detailed soure of info on the MME mechanical systems? I've found nice phots of the motors and battery pack. But how about: 1. What does PARK gear do? If I put it in Park when I'm still rolling, it locks up and rocks on its suspension. 2. What is Low vs Drive? Lust requires more...
  5. Cruise Control follows speed limits sgns ?

    Lost track of how to turn this off/on and can't sem to find it. Help, please. Handy for going out 460 thru little burgs where limit drops from 55 to 45/35, but problematic on I-95 where limit is what ever traffic will bear up to 79 (except for the crazies!) TIA Don
  6. Door Fault Service Required

    Yesterday, for the first time, I got Door Fault Service Required. Happens now every time I put MME in either Accessory or ON mode. Click OK and it disappears until next power on. Tried open/close of every door, rear and frunk hatches. On software 5.1.1 Searched this forum and see a...
  7. sudden rash of 12 volt battery issues seems suspicious

    This morning (9/13) I got a phone notification saying 12 volt battery low; plug in to charge. When I turned the MME ON I got a dash message saying 12 volt battery low; service soon. My main battery shows 88% charge, and my recollection is that the 12v is charged off the HV battery. My cig...
  8. cruise cancel/resume button misses clicks

    Has anyone else noticed that the cruise control cancel/resume button misses button pushes? A few times I press it without looking to see that the cruise speed has been "crossed out", usually getting off the interstate. Instead of slowing down, it tries to accelerate back up to 75. Scary when...
  9. Friggin "music" turn off ?

    is there a setting to turn off that inane noise that plays whenever the door is open? TIA Don
  10. Motion sensor change

    I'm on 4.2.5 and noticed that now when I shut the car off I'm asked whether to turn off the Motion Sensors. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. The dog still sets off the alarm. If it did work, it would be an improvement over having to tap 5 buttons, many with the abysmally slow system response...
  11. mach-e rear wiper

    Most search results center on a broken wiper. I managed to pop off the small cover on the pivot by pulling outward. Since the wiper arm doesn't lift up, how do you get at the blade to repplace it? And, on mine, the end of the blade doesn't conform to the glass, making it less thanuseful...
  12. My own Guess-O-Meter

    After almost running out of juice based on Ford's new faulty GOM algotirhm, I made up my own. I have my own kWh meter that reads only the power used for charging the MME. The first of every month I record everything around the house (total kWh, propane level, generator run time, vehicle...
  13. motion sensor disabling?

    Am I correct that the motion sensor is the two little "vents" facing rearward and one facing forward up by the sunglasses holder? I've covered all 3 with plastic tape with only limited success in keeping the alarm from going off. Any better ideas?
  14. aother (NAV) quirk . . .

    Left the house today and noticed that "I was 41 miles from my destination" (little checkered flag). Pulled up the Nav map but no route was showing. Pressed the voice button and said Cancel Route, but she said No Route Programmed (or something like that). Probably went over 20 miles but...
  15. Well, Ford, the new "Distance To Empty" algorithm doesn't work . . .

    At 100% charge my MME used to show about 270 mile range. A month ago it dropped to 215. On 1/21 I got update 3.6.2 "improving the accuracy of D to E". Now at 100% charge it shows around 290 miles. That's where it was Saturday morning at the start of a 199 mile trip. When I got home, it was...
  16. Dog simulator

    I thought I had the motion sensors taped over, but dog would set them off anyway. Found that leaving window open , sticking my arm in and waving around sets off motion alarm. Now don't have to wait for dog to cooperate. Am I correct that the motion sensor "windows" are the two "vents" facing...
  17. distance range

    For a coupl;e weeks I've been meaning to ask if anyone else is seeing greatly reduced mileage range. I used to always get about 270. Then in the last month it dropped to around 215. Cold weather? Battery going south so soon! Then this morning I get a Ford update 3.6.2 to improve the...
  18. Motion Sensors (still) ?

    Is there a secret to having the Motion Sensors Off setting stay permanent? Got a new dog and she sets them off. I already have foam tape over 3 sensor windows by the mirror. I recall this complaint from a year ago. Hasn't Ford fixed this, or are they still just fooling with on-screen games?
  19. Black (small) screen !

    Two days ago on a multi-stop errand trip, when I fired up the MME, the small screen had a black background instead of the usual gray/blue. Seemed like it was maybe in night mode, except it was in full light and the big screen was normal. Tried shutting off MME and back on, but still the...
  20. Has Hands-Free driving mode gone away

    Recently on major highways where the small screen would turn blue and Hands Free would be indicated, now all I get is the blue bubble with a Hands-On icon (and warnings!). Settings switches for Adaptive Cruise and Blue Cruise are on (unless I'm missing one). Software appears to be 3.5.4 TIA...
