    Disagreement between the Ford App and the car on OTA update availability

    They have my VIN so they definitely know who I am. And it has happened to me before, only that time we communicated directly first.

    Disagreement between the Ford App and the car on OTA update availability

    OK, so today I checked the car again for updates before getting on my way to work. All up to date, it said. Not even 5 minutes on the road later, the ”upload ready to install” icon showed up and when I got to work, I was able to have it install 3.6.1. After waiting for months and finally...

    Disagreement between the Ford App and the car on OTA update availability

    My Ford App has been telling me since December that the 3.6.1 update has been scheduled. My car, however, thinks it is up-to-date (I am not sure how to check which version it is on). I have automatic updates configured (daily @ 1:00 am) and I have connected my car to my home WiFi. What am I...

    Windshield fluid one-way valve failure

    OK, I should have googled this before posting, but it’s called a windshield washer check valve and has apparently been an issue in other Ford models, especially in regions where it gets cold. Folks just drill it out and move on with their lives… wondering if the only drawback is that the nozzles...

    Windshield fluid one-way valve failure

    My windshield fluid nozzles recently started showing symptoms of an enlarged prostate, producing but a mere trickle of washer fluid that barely hit the bottom of the windshield. After taking off all the plastic panels and even removing the frunk, I was finally able to narrow it down to what...

    A word of caution when tapping into the interior fuse panel.

    Great info! What's the source of this?

    A word of caution when tapping into the interior fuse panel.

    I am with you right there. I cannot explain my observations. I need to double-check, but I believe some of these have fuses in place and I have no way of knowing whether any of them are wired to accessories downstream or not. The first part is true but irrelevant. With all the fuse boxes I...

    A word of caution when tapping into the interior fuse panel.

    I didn't open the fuse panel until I had established that merely disconnecting the power to the camera cured the problem I was seeing. I did this several times in different "configurations" (as originally mounted, cables pulled out of the mirror box, camera dropped to the dash, camera dropped...

    A word of caution when tapping into the interior fuse panel.

    Valid point! I used the N4’a hardwire kit, which includes a low-voltage cut-off.

    A word of caution when tapping into the interior fuse panel.

    I updated my post to mention that I had eliminated that possibility as well. How do you think switching the fuse might have eliminated BT interference though?

    A word of caution when tapping into the interior fuse panel.

    I think the N4 might be drawing quite a bit of power since it is set up for 3 cameras. What still has me a bit puzzled though is that pulling fuse #4 does not disable the FOB sensors.

    DIY Tutorial for Hardwiring a Dashcam and Radar Detector

    Heya and thank you for the excellent tutorial, @MachDoc ! Just adding a link to a longer write-up of my own experience here for others that might run into a similar issue (very limited FOB range and reliability) after installing their gizmos. I ended up using fuse #24 (25 A) which eliminated...

    A word of caution when tapping into the interior fuse panel.

    Like a few of you, I couldn't wait to install a dash cam the first weekend I had my shiny pon-e in the driveway. Following the excellent tutorial by @MachDoc , I tapped into fuse #4 (see image below, "borrowed" from that post) for a constant-on installation of a Vantrue N4, which worked like a...

    10/18 Build Week Gang

    Not sure what the "trip number" on palsapp means exactly, but it might be a single car heading for a specific station eventually. ?‍♂️ If you're not finding your VIN there though, it's still on the way to MO from MX.

    10/18 Build Week Gang

    It’s shipped!! FWIW - Encinitas Ford, my dealership, assured me that they will hold the car for me if it arrives early while I am on Christmas holiday. Maybe there are still decent car dealerships around!?
