I have a 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium… completely stock. I purchased some new aftermarket fog light units… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RV471Q9/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_HC12XWVZ4Q8VF5HDTZQM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I’m relatively familiar with cars but I’m not an expert (especially with wiring) and I always want to be 100% certain. There are two wires coming out of the units, one BLACK and the other RED. I found a wiring diagram online and I want to know what wires match up with the ones on the diagram. As far as the fog light units… is RED power? And BLACK ground? -

Did you ever make a decision? I’m curious about the aftermarket Spyder headlights as well! -

It only happens when it's hot outside (76+ degrees) and it doesn't really start until about 2-5 minutes after you first start driving. It does not make this noise in the winter because its so cold. I can feel it slightly in the steering when I turn the wheel. It's very obnoxious and loud. You can hear it when using the brakes at low speeds too, so in town. IMG_1337.MOV

It will lock manually just not electronically.

For about a month now, I've been dealing with my driver door not locking via the keyless entry remote on my 2006 Fusion. I've been unlocking it manually with the key. It'll make the sound, it just doesn't unlock or lock. I've been trying to find a forum to fix this issue but I've had no luck. Will replacing the whole handle do the trick or is it something else?

I’m just now realizing I measure all wrong. There is nothing when I used me 6-24 V tool. I’m still very new when it comes to this stuff. It’s kind of a learning process for me.

What exactly should happen?

Update: I know this is almost a couple weeks late but I finally found time to check everything. First, I checked to make all wires were in the right slots in the harnesses and that the colors and location matched up to the wiring diagram. This includes the power wire coming from the fuse box, the head unit output, the amplifier input, the amplifier output, and the subwoofer inputs. Everything checked out exactly as the diagram showed. Next, I checked to make sure there was power coming from the fuse box, which there was, like I did in the past. Then, I checked PIN 1, or Enable/clip, and there was a strong signal coming from the head unit to the input of the amplifier. Yet still no sound. I have two amplifiers because I thought one was broken at one time... anyways, I put the harnesses into that one and still no sound. So there is definitely power going to the amplifier and the amplifier is getting signal from the head unit... not sure what's going on.

Yeah, I have everything hooked up exactly as the diagram shows. I will have to check the voltage of Pin 1.

When my dad and I were first installing everything we started running into trouble... nothing was working. So my dad unplugged my tail light and somehow connected the output wires from the head unit to the subs and use the tail light as a source of power to see if we were even getting a signal from the head unit. I'm not sure how he did it because I was in the front seat stepping on the brakes to active the power to the tail lights. Anyways, he did say there was audio coming from the subs, very faint but something. So that makes me think the problem is the wiring to the amplifier.
-
We were measuring the output from the head unit. The only thing we measured from the amplifier was the power to make sure it was getting power.
-
Yes, the rest of the stereo system is working just fine. The navigation unit is from a 2008 Fusion and the amplifier is from a 2009 Fusion, both being SEL's. We do have a multimeter, that's how we knew the amp was getting power. We tested, using the multimeter, the output on the head unit and the needle barely moved up but it did slightly with audio playing. That's about all the troubleshooting we've done. The Sony subs are 4 ohms and they do work because we tested them.

Okay, I need help once again! I keep putting off fixing my subwoofers because I just give up, they're just sitting there in the car deck doing nothing. I have a 2006 Ford Fusion SEL. I've ran all the proper wires from the radio and the power wire from the fuse box (which does have power, we checked) according to the wiring diagram. I did get a Ford navigation head unit last year that supports an amplifier. For my amplifier, I'm using a stock one from a 2009 Fusion (Audiophile). For subwoofers, I'm using Sony ones from a 2011 Fusion. And nothing is working for some reason, no sound at all! Do I need to get a Sony amplifier from a Fusion? I inserted the wiring diagram, if needed. I appreciate any help given!

Thanks so much, that really helped me a lot. I still haven't gotten it changed because this weekend has been crazy. I will give you an update when I do it this week. I live right down the road from my local Ford dealer, so I'll be giving him a call, that way I'd be able to do it tomorrow. Does the Fusion have a transmission filter for the six-speed? I didn't see anything in the owners manual.

I am very glad you mentioned that because I checked the transmission fluid this morning, while the engine was heated up and running of course. The fluid was a darker brown and a little gritty. So I'm going to get that changed. I went to O'Reily's to see if they had any after work and they looked up on their computers and it suggested Mercon in their system, but in the owners manual is specifically says not to use Mercon... so I went to AutoZone and they didn't have anything and told me to just go to a Ford dealership and get it from them.
