My car sat up for one to two years and I drained the oil and replaced it the battery was dead so I jumped it off and the car started and then shut off with the cables still connected I tried repeatedly to start it back up and it will crank but won’t fire up I’ve seen a lot of different potential issues online from fuel pump/filter to fuel injectors, spark plugs as well as fuses could anyone please give me a good suggestion on where to start/what to fix as I don’t want to replace parts needlessly. If anyone has had an issue similar to this some assistance would be greatly appreciated thanks for your time

Hello, I have a 2015 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L EcoBoost FWD. I was wondering if anyone could give me an explanation of what I'm looking at here and any suggestions where oil might be leaking from. I haven't worked on cars newer than 1999 before and I have never worked on a FWD four cylinder so I have no idea what I'm looking at half the time. I circled a part in green, not sure what it is but I'm guessing it's some kind of vacuum solenoid? I also circled a hose in blue, I believe it is an oil hose and I thought the leak was coming from there but I tightened it and still have a leak. It looks like oil is dripping from the area circled in red, but again I have no clue what I'm looking at. Any help would be great! Thanks!

This 2013 Lincoln mkZ/Ford Fusion Has a Serious Problem. Clunking, Clanking and Banging Sounds (Diagnosis). Any thoughts? https://youtu.be/vR1oykdJaK8

Want to know if SWC on a CRUX SWRFD60 will maintain steering wheel controls (not sure which all ones) with a Pioneer NEX 1440 unit placed now from 2006 Fusion SEL into now 2012 Fusion. Dip switches looked to be set almost same. It would just be playing around with them if nothing was happening at the controls. Had the Crux it in 2006 Fusion and SWC worked fine. The box says it goes up to 2012 but analog? Buttons are different from 2006 to the later 2012. Please. Any advices? Instructions mention CAN or Canbus SWC in some vehicles for the Crux unit. What’s that, a newer system? Someone please explain that matter. I had in 2006: flick through media (hd radio, iPod...Pandora, Spotify, etc., volume, tracking, tuning to presets but not to channeling the radio stations specifically. Worked beautifully except for a hiccup here or there. Can anyone also inform me of the later SYNC upgrade and what that allows? I saw a post where guy went from 4” to 8” screen. Ideally, I’d like to get the SWC working the same as 2006. Crux on the box says it works up to 2012 Fusion. I called Crutchfield and they said it wouldn’t. Perhaps I also may just need a different SWC module controller from Crux, etc.

The Ford Mustang has been updated. Today I found a stable of Ford Mustang GT's, Mustang Convertibles and many more to show you what makes these RARE Mustang's better than ever. I am sure you have NEVER seen these before! https://youtu.be/z8mFKLB2vqE

On Tuesday, September 24th I got accident, my car is total loss, but I have had great memory with my car, we have been over 38 states, it is like my friend. So, I will do anything to fix it, but my budget it low. Anyway, I am planning to find the parts from junkyard, and I will need your recommendation to fix it. I would appreciate if you guys comment below your recommendations! Btw, I live in Alexandria, Virginia.

hello, was just curious if this has occurred to anyone previously : I have a 2012 Ford Fusion SE and we also own a 2008 Ford Edge; when unlocking the Edge it also unlocks the Fusion, and the same for all the other key functions (unlock/lock/trunk release/panic). Has anyone else had this problem? it almost seems impossible two totally separate vehicles purchased at different times having the same unlocking programming?? also not sure if this is something I would have to pay for to get fixed? I feel like Ford should take care of this without charge??? My trunk is always left open or my car unlocked when my family leaves in the Edge. note: the Fusion's keys have no affect on the Edge. only Edge to Fusion. Purchased at different times, two factory keys per vehicle, no key changes.

Good afternoon everyone, I have a 2012 Ford Fusion SEL with a 3.0L V6. I recently had the front windshield replaced. I have rain sensing wipers and all the sudden they do not work.... When you turn the knob once they cycle but after that they do not come on again. The only time they work is on high or ultra high. I was doing some research and cannot find anything on the rain sensing wipers for a ford, or any problems. I did however find different vehicles with rain sensing wipers and how a fix to this problem would be to reset the system.. Does anyone know if there is a way to reset it or what to do to get them to work again???? Thank you!!

For the last 2 years my wheels studs would break off every 3 months or so, 1 at a time. Every time I would have to pay over $100 to get them replaced. I then found out they have a recall for these by getting a letter in the mail. So I took to ford to get it fixed. The result was "we checked your wheel studs and replaced you lug nuts and your wheels studs are fine" even though they broke off already over 5 times!! They say they are ok. 1 year after taking to ford I have 3 more break off! I contacted ford to have them fix my issue and they tell me once we did a recall we can't do it again. I told them well you guys did not fix my wheel studs. They told me the report says your wheel studs are fine!!! Really? Well they keep breakin off!!! Now I have 3 broken wheel studs and what should I do guys... Keep fixing them or sell the car and get a new one... Ford won't help me with this... I really do not want to sell this car. ( costs around $160 for parts and labor to change each wheel stud no Joke! It was 1.5hrs of labor at 3 different shops that I went to)

Good day folks! I have a question regarding my brothers Fusion. He just changed his tires and his alignment got refused as his right lower control arm is shot (i assume the inner bushing went to hell). Firstly, does anyone have a write up on how to do it? As I understand the procedure is different in 2013+ Fusions compared to the older platform shared with the Mazda6. Secondly, other than calling a dealer to be certain, there are two part numbers that according to part websites fit: GS7Z-3078-B and GS7Z-3078-A . Any difference between the two? Thank you for your help, Odi

Hi, I have a 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium and am looking to hard wire in my Escort 9500ix detector. I understand the options to wire it in are: (a) use an add-a-fuse kit or a fuse tap kit and tap into an existing fuse for an ignition-switched item ( use a wire-splice kit to tap into a wire I'd like to use option B and tap into an existing wire in the center console, around the headunit, MyFord Touch. I am having trouble finding a good wire to use! Any advice? I'd prefer to not use the auto-dimming mirror as then I would have to run a wire around the trim, down the pillar and to the center. Thanks for your help!

I'm very confused about how many speakers I have in my 2006 Ford Fusion SEL. I've noticed that car reviews online have said that the car comes with 6 speakers, but in my car I think I have 8. I have 1 on each door (4) then 2 tweeters on the front doors (2) and 2 in the back part, above the trunk... so my math tells me 8 speakers. Maybe tweeters aren't considered speakers. I don't know?

Ford didn't make navigation an option for the Ford Fusion in 2006 but they did in 2007 and I was wondering if I could put a 2007 Ford navigation system in my 2006 Ford Fusion SEL with no problems. I tried a 2006 Ford Five Hundred navigation radio but the quality was no good due to the Five Hundred *incorporating an external amp that drove additional bass drivers*. Any thoughts? *information given too me from another forum*

Hello, I have a check engine light producing two codes: P0141 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit ( Bank 1 Sensor 2) P0054 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Resistance I am having a hard time finding any repair manuals or guides to replacing the sensor efficiently without disassembling too much of the intake assembly covering the whole back. I figured out that the sensor is before the Cat Converter as it is sensor 2. But I am not sure if the O2 heater circuit has a fuse associated before I directly go to replace the part. I would like to know if there is a fuse and if so, what fuse is it? Also how long would it approximately take and what would be a reasonable cost to repair at a shop that isn't a dealership? The Ford dealership is wanting to charge $386 with parts plus labor. Thank you,

I have now owned my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid since I bought it on clearance six years ago and it's better than ever. The only repairs I have needed are a new rotor and caliper for one wheel and a replacement driver's side mirror after my neighbor crashed into it with her car. She paid for the repairs, though, and luckily I didn't need to use the car for two days because the dealer ordered the wrong part after I specified TWICE which part they needed to order. This is the best car I have ever owned. My long-term fuel economy is currently 40.5 mpg. Lately, I have been averaging between 42-50 mpg on my commute to work, which is mostly what I use the car for. I was so pleased with this car that when it was time to get my wife a new car, we bought another Ford. She now drives a 2014 Ford C-Max Energi that we charge up with the solar panels on our roof. It's amazing, like having our very own gas station that continuously produces its own fuel. Someday far in the future when it actually becomes necessary to replace my FFH, I think I'll get the Energi model so I can get the electric range too. Hope everyone else is pleased with their Ford Fusion Hybrid too. Ford knocked this one out of the park.

Hello, I hate my first real post aside from my introduction post to be a downer, but I feel that other Ford Fusion owners / prospective owners should be aware of the issues and Ford's reluctance to make things right. Lets start from the very beginning - February 2015. In February I had decided that I wanted a new vehicle. It was near the end of the month and the weather here in Ohio was still winter. So, I stopped in to a local Ford dealership (Autonation Ford North Canton) and looked at their selection. I was actually not looking to buy that day but the salesman was pretty convincing I should get my trade appraised and then see if there was anything I liked. While there I saw a 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium AWD. It was certified and had 32,000 miles on it. It was clean inside and out, and I test drove it in the aftermath of a snow storm that left a few inches on the ground. It drove very well in the snow and since I was already familiar with the new Fusions (My friend owns a 2013 Titanium AWD also)... I was sold. Needless to say we put the deal together and I drove off. The following week after buying it the engine stalled while driving out of my driveway. It restarted but the check engine light came on. Took it in to Autonation Ford and they gave me a rental for a couple of days while they ordered a fuel pressure sensor. Part installed and returned running the same (no more stalling). I started noticing very strange things with the blind spot detection and the reverse warning system. It would almost always tell me a car was approaching from the left or right when backing out (of my own driveway on a private single lane road). There was nothing there - But it kept falsely telling me something was there. Fast forward a week or so of this and I finally opened the trunk and looked around. I thought maybe it was something loose. Pulled the trunk carpet and found the spare sitting in the well with little spots of rust that looked like welding slag. Pulled all the side carpets out and rear plastic latch guard and found the car had been wrecked hard in the rear and the repairing shop had actually used white base paint and painted the interior of the trunk. Like painted everything (wiring harnesses and all). It looked a mess. So I rolled underneath it with my creeper and found the underbody sections had ripples and signs it had been straightened (poorly). Took it back to Autonation Ford infuriated I had purchased a FORD CERTIFIED used car with obvious damage. In hind sight, its my fault I didn't have them put it up on a rack and inspect it (But 2 years old, 32,000 miles and Certified - Why should I?) Long story short - They replaced the car with a brand new 2015 Titanium (my payment went up BTW) however my problems didn't end there. On March 15, 2015 I took possession of a Guard Green 2015 Titanium AWD. It had the same options as the 13 (although it had cooled seats and heated steering wheel as new options). Thought I was fortunate they stood behind their transgression and I should be good from here on out. So, brand new with 122 miles on it - I should be good to go - Or so I thought. The first issue I encountered with the new Fusion was an intermittent central locking issue. The car would at times completely fail to open when the door handle was grabbed (proximity unlocking). This happened quite a few times and after a few more issues started occurring after 5500 miles I took it into George Waikem Ford (didn't trust Autonation Ford anymore after their clear glossing over issues). That visit had an outcome of ordering an APIM (for poor HD radio reception and nav system issues), re-calibrating the transmission for hard shifts and no duplication of the locking issue. Next visit was at 7,636 miles. They never called letting me know parts came in for the car (and hadn't scheduled with me to bring it back in before I left so I scheduled it back in). This was in October 2015 (first visit was probably 5-6 weeks earlier). This visit had APIM complaint again, NAV Faults, Hard shifts again going into reverse, central locking again, sunroof rattle from headliner and a recall (15S14 Steering bolt corrosion). They found nothing wrong with the APIM this time (even though they ordered one last visit and returned it (due to time frame). They could not duplicate my navigation issue with the nav system failing to load at times (only compass) and sometimes SD Fault message on center screen). They checked transmission fluid level from a SSM#45239 about this issue. It was spot on, no repairs made. This time I had to show the technician the unlocking didn't work when I picked it up and then they finally ordered an antenna for the headliner). Found free play in the headliner mounting causing a rattle in the sunroof area (fixed). The performed the recall and that rounded out the repair visit. On 11/09/15 I returned the car for service to Waikem for the remote transceiver replacement (in the headliner) for the unlocking issue, Radio issues (WAIT message on display and poor HD reception), and intermittent hard bang from reverse to drive. They replaced the transceiver and could not duplicate the other two concerns and closed out the repairs. This next visit is when I started having real serious issues with the car. These issues still persist and this is where my experience gets soured. The car started stalling and then quit altogether. It started blowing the PCM fuse (#7 in the engine fuse box). It was towed into Waikem Ford on 11/14/15 at 8166 miles for a no start condition. All the lights would come on, but it would not start. They replaced the PCM and battery during that visit (11/16 - 11/25/15). Car drove fine home, then quit while pulling out of the garage next day. That was Thanksgiving Day so I waited until Friday (11/27/15) to have it towed back in. They kept the car from 11/27 - 12/11/15. This visit they replaced the Battery Junction Box (BJB) , battery and replaced the blown fuse from the #7 slot. They returned the car to me and I drove it home. Next day it seemed ok, then the following day (Sunday) I was running errands. On a trip from a local big box hardware store the check engine light came on. I didn't think anything of it, because the car was driving normal. However, 8 miles later the car shut off driving 45 mph down the road. Every warning light on the dash came on (ABS, AWD Fault, Blind Spot fault, Cross Traffic Fault, Engine Overheat)... It was a mess. Luckily I coasted to a safe spot (only a mile from my house) and parked it. Walked home and called Ford roadside assistance to come pick it up. This was the first time it ever stranded me driving (the last 2 times it was either dead when I came out to it or it died while still in my driveway). So, on 12/14/15 It was towed in again (3rd time now). This time again it had blown fuse #7 and they called up the "Hotline" and was advised to overlay the engine wiring harness with a fused wire going from the Battery Junction Box (fuse box) to the PCM - Effectively re-routing the power and taking the harness out of the equation. They drove the car 120 miles this time while in their possession to ensure it was fixed. They returned the car to me on 12/16/15 and I thought maybe they had it fixed (finally). Fast forward to 1/11/16.... Around 1/6/16 I had a check engine light come on. The car was getting crappy gas mileage. Took it in on 1/11/16 to have the check engine light looked at and a burning smell in the interior (which has happened before but not noted by them - But I told them this). They replaced fuse #8 (next fuse to the one blowing before). They replaced this fuse and told me they would call the hotline and review the issue. So I drove the car home after it spent a day at the dealership. They called me the next day and told me they were ordering an engine wiring harness as advised by the Hotline. This harness came in and I returned the car on 1/13/16. They had the car for 9 days (1/13-1/22) and tried to give it back to me on the 22nd. I drove in after work to pick it up on the 22nd and when I went to drive the car away I got in the car to start it. Put foot on brake and press start button. Seems easy enough, however the brake pedal went almost all the way to the floor. I pressed it a few more times and it finally built up enough pressure to stay up. I refused to take the car and they put me back in the rental over the weekend (as the technician was working Saturday and would get it done). I picked the car up on Monday (1/ after work and everything seemed ok. I realized after talking to them they had to pull the brake booster, master cylinder and various other items to install this main engine harness. They also had to route it inside the car into the dash (why it took so long). At this point my new car has been violated six ways from Sunday and it seems everything has been touched at least once. After all that, they checked the harness from end to end and couldn't find any issues. No problems found (and my disbelief that here we are throwing parts at this car and nothing is fixing it!). After what seemed like a little while I thought maybe all the pulling/tugging and general dis and re-assembly of the car may have fixed the issue. I was wrong. Around 2/4/16 the car started stalling again. It did it 3 times in a row and all the dash warning lights came on the last time I restarted it. It was like driving a pinball machine, bells/gongs and warnings going off. It did this for 5 miles and then I parked it and shut it off. Came out from shopping and started it back up. Everything went back to normal (not a light on anywhere - Like nothing ever happened). So I called Waikem and scheduled it back in. It went back in on 2/9/16 to get looked at. They replaced the battery again (3rd time I think within ~3 months) and then started checking grounds at the power steering rack. They found a bunch of codes in the computers but nothing pointing them towards a problem. So they said they would keep the repair order open for a while in case I had more issues. On 2/23/16 I took it back in because it happened again. Car was parked outside and it was 20 degrees outside. I hit the remote start and the car did nothing and then beeped. I looked at the remote and it was flashing red instead of a green light like normal. So I opened the hood of the car and checked the fuses.... It BLEW FUSE 7 AGAIN! Because I was running late for work I ended up pulling the blown #7 fuse and installing the #8 fuse in it's place. The car started up (with a Check engine light) and I drove it to work. After work that night I drove it into Waikem Ford and handed them the blown fuse for #7 and told them it happened again and I swapped the fuses around so I could get going. They checked it out, and replaced the missing #8 fuse I removed and gave me 2 spare fuses and rescheduled me for the next Monday. Next Monday the 29th they took it back in and looked at it all day. They found nothing and told me the next time it blows the fuse to not replace it and just get it towed in. So I picked it up from Waikem on the 29th (leap year day) and drove home. On 3/7/16 I drove home from work. This drive is normally uneventful but this night the transmission was acting strange and the car was driving lethargic. Also my navigation and radio were acting strange. The display started blinking on the center screen and at one point was just black. IT was playing music but no display. Every so often it would flash something on the lower left corner and then go away. I didn't really want to think about more issues so I just made it home and parked it in the garage. Fast forward to later that night. I am taking my dog outside and I pass through the garage and find the headlights on my car on. Just the headlights, no other lights. I let the dog out the man door and came back inside the house to grab my keys. I came back out and got into the car and turned the power on (not starting it - Just hitting the start button only). Everything came on normally and I checked the light switch. It was still in the AUTO position, I hadn't bumped it or somehow manually changed it by mistake. I shut the car off and the lights went out, but the fusebox started making a rattling noise like it had before when the PCM fuse blew. I thought to myself - Great! Here we go again!. So I just shut the car door and let the dog back in and went in the house. I figured I would call roadside assistance in the morning to pick it up since they requested it back if it blew any fuses again. On 3/8/16 I called roadside assistance around 6:30am and had them dispatch a tow truck. I went back out to the garage and the left headlight was on (albeit very dim) shining an orange spot on the garage door). I got in the car and it was dead. Tow truck driver shows up, we jump it to get it out of gear (it won't start) and he winches it (for the 4th time in 5 months) up on the flatbed. At this point, the car is still at Waikem. They are pulling the harness back out and also checking other things as advised by Ford Hotline. An Engineer from Mexico has been involved (My car is a 3FAFP car built in Mexico) and they have informed the dealership there is some type of wiring harness issue they are aware of. They sent the technician a list of connectors and spots to check on the harness. This leads me to believe there is alot more to this story but I imagine Ford wants to keep this under wraps. At this point, I'm tired. This has been 5 months of nothing but hell. I've been in rentals on and off since this started to a grand total through today (4/2/2016) at 59 days. The car has been in the shop for longer than that for these issues (as I was on vacation one stint and they didn't give me a car for a few days after it was towed in). I cannot blame George Waikem Ford in any way, the technician is only as good as the information he receives from the factory (which up to this point hasn't been very helpful but I fully believe there is alot they are not telling them). So as far as the dealership is concerned I am not in any way shape or form upset at them over this issue. This is a Ford Motor Company issue. The dealership technician is not an engineer and he can't be expected to figure out some engineering or part issue. Funny part is I asked Ford Motor Company on 11/23/15 to formally buy back the car. On 11/24/15 a person named Scott (no last names, they never divulge that) was assigned to my case. Long story short as I called them almost daily at one point during the late Christmas holidays - They denied a buyback on 1/7/16. Seven weeks after I had requested it, they finally answered. What they did offer was an Extended Warranty on the car. I declined and stated an extended warranty isn't going to cover the numerous electrical issues I'm having. On 1/7/16 I contacted a lawyer to officially start a buyback procedure through more formal procedures. This process was started and after numerous weeks of time (and after the state lemon law requirements were fully fulfilled quite a bit earlier) they came back and offered me $7,000 to keep the car. I told the attorney to decline the offer and request a buyback. They declined again and said they could only offer $7,000 and that was it. So my attorney filed through the BBB for mediation and arbitration. This process is underway and I was just told on Thursday that they will be out next week to inspect the car. It's still in pieces at the dealership (I assume) so I'll meet them there. All in all, Ford doesn't care about the customer. Their customer service line is beyond worthless - They don't listen. They have all the facts at their fingertips yet somehow the Ohio Lemon Law is merely a guideline and not an arbitrary rule to consumer protection against owning a lemon. If anyone else is having stalling issues, and other electrical problems - You are not alone. And Ford is aware there is an issue... They are just betting the Goliath will keep David in check. That's a bet they are going to lose on my accord. I had considered another Ford as a replacement - Now, I'm not sure I care to spend any more money in any new Ford product as they truly don't care about the customer and only their bottom line. Thanks Ford - Message received loud and clear. I'll be sure to repost this on Twitter and Facebook to let more people know how an American company that portrays being all about it's customers can shirk it's responsibility to a customer that spent $36,000 on a brand new lemon. The reason I took so long to speak out is because normally I'm not very outspoken (learned over the years of being on forums that bitching doesn't do much) but a good friend just recently told me that Ford is keen on keeping their image clean on Social Media and I should share my experience with others so they can see they are not alone and that giving a loyal (35+ years) customer a hard time is really a crap thing to do! Thanks everyone for listening and I'll answer any questions if anyone has any. I'm attaching a few pics of the car getting towed away as this isn't a gimmick and I'm not here complaining to make noise. -Dominic

I was wondering if it's possible to remove the chrome window trim on a 2013+ Ford Fusion. And if it is possible how do you do it? I painted them black but I don't like how it looks so I wanna paint them again with them off the car. So any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi fellow sync users, new to this site, as well as my recently bought Fusion. it is an 09 Ford Fusion SEL, It has Sync compatibility, also has the AUX and USB ports in center console. whenever i press the phone button to add a new phone it says NO PHONE. I cannot even get into the phone menu or system settings. I have pulled and replaced the SYNC fuse, as well as pulling the battery lines to reset the whole system in the car, still no luck. whenever i put an AUX cable or USB in, the radio does not detect any of those features. It only works on radio & CD function. Help please, I would like to access all of the features my "new" car has to offer. Thank you.

Hello, I am wanting to get rid of the chrome grille on my 2010 Ford fusion, and replace it with a black mesh grille, which the only brand I have seen is E&G Classic. I like the look of the grille, but I haven't seen this on any fusions. Does anyone else have this grille installed on there car? I'd like to see it on a car before I go upon purchasing one myself. Any opinions as to what I should do? Thanks! Attached is a link to where this grille is sold. http://www.carid.com/eg-classics/black-ice-fine-mesh-grille-kit-mpn-1359-b102-10.html?gclid=COXGlebikcQCFcHMtAodWAIAAQ Here is my car that I plan to put this grille on!
