    Voltage/battery management issue

    Sooo....update...ugh... Drove to pickup the Explorer in our rental 2024 Bronco and returned home in the Bronco. First, I do not fault my dealer on most of this. They have been great. A lot of the time it has been there has been waiting on parts. I can tell my advisor is over our case as...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Update will come later this afternoon...as I will be picking it up today finally. Total of just over 5 weeks sitting at the dealer.

    Camera recall December 2024

    Anyone had issues with the camera recall recently? My 2020 has been at my dealer now for over 4 weeks. It was taken in for other things but they performed the camera recall while there (that I had avoided doing.) They were able to replace the camera but the image processing module that needs...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    So, I still do not have my vehicle back lol. Thursday was 3 weeks that it has been there. The latest is they proceeded to perform the camera recall while it was there....that I have specifically avoided taking it in for since we would only see a blue screen every once in a while. Replaced the...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    How old is your battery? I have found with these that they tend to do weird things based on the battery voltage. Mine was even more of an oddity in that I never saw the battery saver message and never had any dtc or wrench lights pop up. There was a stored code for the starter that I listed...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    It seems like the starter has taken care of the starting/voltage issues but I won't know until I get it back. I can see today when they started the repair my battery voltage was at 74%. Last week with the bad battery etc it was 0%.

    Voltage/battery management issue

    In the initial message to me, they didn't say if this was covered. I don't see why it wouldn't be though.

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Back with another update.... So starter was approved and ordered. They get it in, open the box and they ordered the wrong one. Ordered a new one, that took a few days but came in yesterday. This morning they put it in. After it was done, they were driving it out of the shop to the parking...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Definitely. I'm just over this. I've settled down a bit now that we have a rental but still this could have been at least looked at more in the past 6 days.

    Voltage/battery management issue

    And for your reading pleasure: It has sat in the same parking spot since thursday, they haven't moved it. I have questions on if they had done anything until today or not. I get a call today saying the battery is bad and they can't go further until that is rectified. I could replace it with...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Ugh, so not really an update. More of a "I should have known..." and things are going to get interesting... I am 45 and by principle, I do not like dealerships. Since I got my license at 16, with multiple vehicles, I made it a point to figure things out. The only time any of my vehicles go...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Electronically, you can't shift out of park (knob doesn't even move) unless the vehicle is running. You can put it in neutral using the manual lever under the armrest.

    Voltage/battery management issue

    For those who are bored, I'll keep this updated. Towed it away tonight. Tow truck driver was unable to jump it. Had to figure out the manual neutral... That was fun. Not as easy as it seems but got it. Maybe I'll hear something tomorrow evening.

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Pretty sure I will have to tow it tonight. I tried to jump start just now and no go. Battery voltage goes down to 6.5v now during crank and it no longer cranks at all, it just clicks. Also have a P06E9 code stored (starter PCM fault. No check engine light on, just a stored code.)

    Voltage/battery management issue

    The first time I had to jump it, it started right up like that. Later that same day, it wouldn't start again and a jump with the same vehicle didn't work initially. I had to have it connected and running for 5+ minutes before it would start. I haven't tried a jump since then. I will have to...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    I did it via the jumper cables. The mustang battery is wider than the explorers and will not easily fit in the tray. Could probably make it work somehow but didn't really feel like doing that. At this point I think it is a combination of both the battery and something in the starting...

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Correct. Mustang battery starts mustang but not explorer. Explorer battery doesn't start anything.

    Voltage/battery management issue

    Maybe an inconclusive test... But here is what I did: 1. Verified explorer still not starting 2. Verified mustang starts 3. Checked voltage on mustang. 12v off, 13.8 volts running. 4. Completely disconnected explorer battery from the explorer and connected it to mustang. 5. Verified...
