Youtube.com video of what the problem is and how to prevent it on EcoBoost engines.

Isn't that the 2020 Ford prototype where the body is made from transparent aluminum, stronger than helium and glows in the dark? Heard the engine is made out of plastic and powered by a fusion reactor. Wonder if Ford will able to get the door switches to work by then?

Sorry about reviving such an old thread. My pass rear turn signal bulb burnt out and I thought I replace both (as when one me goes, the other is also probably as worn.) Reason I'm posting is, both sockets looked like new, no evidence of burning or overheating. Bulb is 3057K. (09 MKX).

Yup, makes one wonder what the 2018 palladium trim will include.

You would think that the system would default to something similar to a "non-active" system when a fault occurs. Making the car un-drivable when a fault occurs is completely unacceptable as every electronic component WILL (eventually) fail. .

Can you disable it by pulling fuse 71?

Could also add in the additional cost of larger tires.

Perhaps their sold at your local Ford dealer?

Escort live. Sync's to certain Escort radar detectors.

Reason I keep the screen in view is I run a program coupled to my radar detector. When radar is posted on the cloud, it shows the map on the screen where the radar was detected (red within the last 10 minutes, yellow 10-20 minutes, green 20-30 minutes). Also shows the frequency (helps determine type of radar) and distant in feet to radar source. Comes in handy at times.

I was reading in another forum where someone had a leak in his A-Piller. He popped off the covers and found that the drain for the sunroof was disconnected; allowing water to run down the piller into the floor well. He reattached it and all good again.

Try a reset. Don't think it will work but shouldn't hurt. Pull fuse 29 and wait 1/2 hour. If radio comes on when you reconnect, let is go for several minutes (can turn down the sound if too loud, but don't change channels, etc. until the reboot is complete). If this doesn't work try a full reset. Make sure the car is on, in Park Press the Phone Button to enter the PHONE MENU Scroll repeatedly until SYSTEM SETTINGS appears in the radio display Press OK to enter the SYSTEM SETTINGS MENU Scroll repeatedly until ADVANCED appears in the radio display. Press OK Scroll repeatedly until MASTER RESET appears in the radio display Press OK. SYNC will ask you to confirm the reset Press OK to confirm. The radio display will read ALL RESET SYNC will take you back to the ADVANCED SETTINGS MENU

Ok, fuse #39 is to the rear window defrost grid. PS (believe this is the keep alive connection)

Surmising: the reason the ACM works after the car has run is, it's switched over the the acc connection and continues to operate for the duration of the accessory delay. The problem seems to be getting power through the start/run feed (which is a separate feed). Unfortunately I don't have a 2012 service manual, mine only goes up to 2010. In the 2010, power comes through the Smart Junction Box, fuse #28, then through a GY-VT wire to the ACM (audio control modular or radio for short). So if this still holds for your 2012, ir fault lies either in the SJB (of fuse panel for short) as there's electronics in here which controls this circuit, the wire to the radio (not likely) or the radio itself. Troubleshooting ideas: using an inexpensive 2 volt tester, pull the radio and ampifiler fuses and test the fuse socket (with the switch in the on or run, position.) If the SJB *is* feeding power, it's probably the radio (ACM actually, but you must replace the entire radio to fix). If there is *no power* then it's the SJB fault and one possible fix would be to rewire to a different circuit that's powered only when the car is on (on in the run position). Involves cutting the wire near the SJB and using a 12 volt quick connector, linking to a different conductor (wire). BTW, on the 2010, there are three fuses to the ACM, #28, operate in run, #41 operate in acc & #39 which I have no ida as to what it does.

PS on my 09 mkx, I clip a pinch type onto the consol Fwd storage comp door (where the power outlet is located). Keeps my phone low and out of the way while still accessible.

Seen those but always worried that jiggling of the part that slide into the would damage mechanism. Also, when drive detectors a cd inserted, tries to load cd, what hapoens to mechanism when it can't? Too expensive to play around with imho.

Nice looking display. Sometimes it pays to pay more for better quality. ?

Tirerack.Com is showing the Michelin Premier LTX (bout $200/ea) as the highest rated. I'm running Bridgestone Dueler's, they gave them for around $150/ea. Good tires. Ford will match these prices and give you a $70 rebate with the Michelin's & $140 with the Bridgestone tires. (If you put the tires on your Ford card, if you don't have one, you can apply right at the service desk.)

What are you wanting to hook up?

I've had t at happ n to me, but on y occasion lly. I had alw ys thought it was related to the micr phone picking up ext aordinary noise. ?

If you crawl under the car, it's just an open tube that sticks down a couple on inches. A blast of air should open it, but I would follow up with a can of Lubegard to kill any mold. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0007PHD0S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475951990&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Lubegard+96030+Kool-It+Evaporator+and+Heater+Foam+Cleaner Here's a Youtube video on how to do this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi22mdXj3wM The drain in located at item #4. .

Try checking fuses 19 and 29.

Although unrelated, parts of this post may be helpful. Would take a LOT of changes to add Sync to an 07 however. Your best option may be to consider an aftermarket unit. http://www.taurusclub.com/forum/120-5th-6th-gen-electronics-security-audio-visual/176592-adding-sync-2008-navigation.html#/topics/176592?_k=gnlztp

Make them really spiffy, put a blue dot lens in the middle of each taillight. Real chick magnet. ?

Had this happen to me once, turned out I had specified an east (street address) instead of a west. {123 EAST Anywhere St. instead of 123 WEST Anywhere St.}.
