  1. I probably don't need to add that nearly anything on eBay is fake.
  2. Does this only happen when the spray is directed under the back of ghe car? May be sencing the spray, thinking it to be a "foot" waving back and forth.
  3. As the other remote works perfectly, its isolated to this remote (nothing wrong with the car). The remote is sending its proximity signal, so the transmitter is working. That leaves a problem with only the the keys. What I would do is take the fob apart and check for broken contacts or misaligned buttons.

    If it was my car, I'd run it by the dealer and have a mechanic have a look. May be nothing but whatever it is, it doesn't appear to be a common complaint and therefore a possible problem. Could be nothing more than a simple fix . If it is the problem that fell under the recall, wouldn't cost anything to repair.
  5. II just used Turtle Wax T-10 Black Tire Coat on my tires for the first time. Amazing. Makes your tires look wet and slippery. States it actually bonds better with age. There's a restriction of waiting 3 days before washing, but that's not a big deal.

    That's actually been discussed here before. Please read this post and if it sounds familiar:
  7. Did you hear back yet? As far as I know, its covered on the three plans (not power train only). Should be detailed on the pamphlet they gave you when you signed up.
  8. Sync used to have the limitation of FAT-32 (only, and it was fussy about the format, had to be a clean format, not a quick wipe) and a 4 gig drive limitation. (But others have used 32 gig without problems). BTW, some have reported problems with USB drives formatted with a MAC computer. If you used a MAC try formatting with a Windows computer.
  9. Page 227 of the owners manual. Yellow means the system is making or has just made a lane keeping intervention. Green is good, red means something's wrong.
  10. Sorry, didn't see this until just now. No, the batteries are not replaceable. Just one of those things with a 12 year old car. (I'll be doing mine in a year or two myself).
  11. The lift gate reset procedure is for a powered lift gate. (Theres no mention of a non-powered liftgate in the 2010 service manual)? Anyway, this sounds more of a mechanical issue. I would try adjusting the stiker plate. From the service manual, loosen stiker bplts, reposition door latch striker plate from side-to-side or up and down as necessary. Tighten bolts to 18 ft-lb.
  12. This has been seen before. As the paint is covered with clear coat, it would take a lot of chemicals to eat through and damage the paint. The real cause is a bad paint job, probably has a contaminate on the steel before painting. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/dozens-of-ford-vehicle-owners-fed-up-with-flaking-paint-problems-1.3261390
  13. The BA-7 costs more because it will do all the battery tests PLUS it tests the alternator, starting and charging system.
  14. Whenever the wife and I go to the grocery store, she wipes done the interior of the car with a Clorox wipe. Leather steering wheel included. (!) Even though my county is one the smaller counties in Indiana, its number 3 in the number of cases; so we're overly cautious. This virus has a particular fondness for us elderly types). Anyway, these wipes are mostly alcohol, so I decided that its time to retreat the car interior with a fresh coat of 303. Including the leather parts, such as the steering wheel. (Especially the steering wheel). Also treated the headlight lens and the wiper blades. (Think I'm on year 4 or 5 for this set of blades). 303 is really great stuff.
  15. I would run a CCA test on the vehicle battery. An old battery, nearing its end will cause failures similar to this. (A straight voltage test is insufficient. It must be a CCA test to diagnose a modern battery properly). This is what I use (there is a less expensive version that just measures the battery, this version also checks the charging system): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015PI7A4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zenkFb8JP6YS4
  16. Remember reading in the F150 forum that map update may not show the current version (even though its installed). Updating to latest Sync corrected the problem.
  17. Looks tome that the latch on the inside of the door can be adjusted in or out to set the latch depth. Look to see if theres an adjustment on the end of the "stabbing" mechanism.
  18. Different cars, different options, different software modules needed.
  19. My drivers door was squeaky. I used WD-40 dry lube, spray into the door where the strap goes into the door. Used a straw and sprayed well inside the door along the strap (top and bottom).
  20. Is these the parts your looking for? https://www.lascoautoparts.com/oem-parts/ford-engine-cover-k2gz6a949a?origin=pla&gclid=CjwKCAjw34n5BRA9EiwA2u9k31-hb_INKq2jFBhompHFzNYM-I3p6AOXOSguAUypOg0zKg4-JYM2ohoC3-IQAvD_BwE
  21. In leiw of adding air shocks, have you thought about using a leveling hitch? Work great to ride level. Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005SB6S3Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_xD5iFbMQYTF98
