That is an interesting thought- I just got back from my test drive after replacing the ABS sensor on the rear right. I sprayed brake cleaner into the car side connection and down where the sensor goes to try and clean the connectors (I was out of electrical contact cleaner). Nothing looked corroded and I could see 1/4" of wire before it was fully taped and loomed beyond my vision - I don't think the issue is there. I was diving into the Forscan rabbit hole making some long wanted changes (it's the wife's car, but I needed to make some quality of life changes). I turned on acc power, got the module connected to the laptop and got Forscan working in the matter of a few minutes, 5 max. The lights were on, radio playing and fan blowing on low. I made my first change, Bambi mode, and verified it's function. I then turned off the annoying double beep without the key and then switched on secure idle to prevent theft while I'm out and about. Those changes took a few moments max, I would say ten minutes. Funny thing is I then got a low battery error and it wouldn't connect anymore, it said it was below 11.1v. I cranked up the car, which it started just fine, and took it for a test drive. My ELM is fairly old and doesn't read all of the sensor data on my laptop correctly but my phone does for some reason. I wanted to read TPMS sensor hits as I couldn't see anything else for wheel speed - what should I be searching to see individual ABS sensor info? Regardless, when I was looking at this about a month ago I noticed the rear right sensor wasn't reporting data consistently like the others, so I replaced the ABS sensor. Thinking back, that doesn't make any sense. I took it for a test drive and got good consistent data but now I'm thinking I wasn't even looking at the correct data. I had some codes (that I should have saved) for inconsistent data into some module, a TPMS code and something else - they didn't seem to add up or point to anything I could think of. They seemed random- no MIL on the dash either. Can I put a resistance style (toaster) battery checker on the battery while in the car to see how it reads or is that a bad idea? Your battery idea has me thinking as I shouldn't have gotten the battery pulled down that fast...

My wife's 16` AWD Titanium has been doing something goofy - she mentioned it in passing but didn't really tell me the whole story. It did it to me days before the warranty expired and I didn't get it into the shop in time, and my dealer was clear to me that the warranty expired and it will come out of pocket. I went to move her car and I was greeted with a light show. Beyond what is shown on the dash I had, what felt like, no electric assist on the power steering and the reverse camera stayed on. This only seems to happen after it rains and the vehicle is either outside or driven in it. I hooked up Forscan and did some ABS sensor data logging and found that the RR sensor was lazy on reporting. Sometimes the sensor wouldn't read at all or it would read far slower than the others. I was counting sensor check ins and in my short drive it was hundreds of counts off. Before I even took at look at the car (or did much research) I purchased a Ford Motorcraft BRAB‑425 Rear ABS Wheel Speed Sensor on Rock Auto for a whopping $12 to my door. Today I did some poking around to find that it may be a corrosion issue, might not be, $12 is an easy start. I'm slightly concerned about the multitude of lights on though. I understand the advance track, abs and TC not functioning, but why the airbag light and reverse camera staying on? I'm going to start my search at the RR today and see what I find - anything else of note to check?

So everywhere it says bolt, as in singular. Being that, it has to be the bolt on the pinch joint where the column splines into the rack- commonly pulled when dropping the subframe. If that is the case I don't see why this can't be done during an oil change.

I've got a 2016 Fusion Titanium AWD and I'd like to have another set of wheels for a winter setup and a local friend has a setup off a 15' Ecoboost Mustang with the Performance Pack. This is what I'm talking about- Stock tire size for my Fusion is 235/40/r19 and thee are 255/40/zr19 - any idea on fitment and speedometer issues? I believe the lug pattern is the same, the Mustang wheels have a larger center bore but I've got no idea about backspacing. I'm going to test fit tomorrow - I guess I'll ultimately see. Here is the car -

I like it - my 16' has the 10 speaker system in it with the touch screen and I think it is seriously lacking bass. I know the speakers will break in and get better, but its kinda crappy to my buddies Fusion Sport stereo.

Oh, that isn't much of a difference at all - I take it that is hp, wonder what tq looks like. Already approaching 150 miles - averaging 18 mpg so far, lol.

I'll have to ave my wife try this when she is driving - she was hard to head compared to how my 08' Focus sounds.

If anyone has specific questions I've got a 2016 sitting in the garage-

I thought it would be a neat option too, but we wouldn't have ordered it that way as it was an expensive package. I got the Homelink to connect to my 20 year old garage door opener - that was nice. I'm going to start replacing some of the exterior bulbs with LED's - looks funny with incandescent lights. I'm going to have the car tinted with 3M film at the max legal limit of 50% - I'll have the headlights cover with laminate at the same time as well. Is this Ecoboost similar to the truck 3.5 in that it makes more power with premium fuel? I've fully converter her over from Toyota (family owned a dealership) - hell, she bought me a Ford Excursion so I could pull trailers and we could go camping.

My wife had been driving Toyota Corollas for quite some time until she married me We sold her 07 S a few months back and she has been driving my 96' Bronco for a few months and was ready for something easier to get into and something that got a little better gas mileage. We went to AutoNation Ford as its only a half hour drive and took a look at a car I was emailed about- a 2016 Titanium AWD :happy feet: Needless to say my wife is quite happy - and you guys know what that means. Happy wife, happy life! It only had 6 miles on it when we bought it - talk about getting a new car! The only options the car is missing is the adaptive cruise control - which I could care less about. The BLISS and drive aids are pretty neat stuff to have - if we didn't find what we were after we would have just ordered one directly. The one had more than we were after and it was AWD - sweet! Happy 4th everyone! Kyle
