Any explanation without testing would be a thumb-suck. Testing is what's needed, and the "Autozone" testing suggestion was meant to be an example of the service such stores offer, and most likely some in Canada do the same. A dead/discharged battery could be the symptom of a failed/failing battery or a parasitic drain or a charging system failure.

Get the battery and charging system checked at a place like Autozone - typically free of charge for the test.

Instrument panel not responding.

Keep it to one thread. Use an OBDII dongle and Forscan to scan for codes. -
No idea, never used a torque wrench on that. Turn it down until it bottoms out and that's it - its seals on the o-rings and doesn't need any torque for that.

Stalling at red lights, anyone ever fixed this?

@Jim thurber it's widely reported that most, if not all, 3rd party evap valves do not last as long as the OEM. -
Well done. You are correct, when using a modern digital multimeter you need to take into account that it has a very high input impedance - a simple 12v test lamp works better in these situations.

Question concerning Safety Recall 25S89/ Ford 25N15 program
1004ron replied to Chipster's topic in Recalls, TSBs & Warranty
I have the same recall and my camera fails intermittently. I've been trying to get hold of the service manager to hopefully get the camera and do the change myself. I don't think there's a time limit on getting the recall done. -
Glad that a solution was found, even if it doesn't make much sense. The courtesy wipe is a feature that provides an extra wipe of the windshield a few seconds after you finish using the windshield washer fluid.

Ford list a rain sensor for that model, so the report that it doesn't have an Auto mode for the wipers is surprising. https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-rain-sensor-lu5z17d547b See if the below thread is any help for the serpentine belt.

@JohnT396 was the info here of any help to your daughter?

Welcome. Using FORscan run the "RGTM On-Demand Self-Test" - it might resolve the issue and can do no harm.

SafeLite botched a chip repair and three windshield replacements following that. The insurance instructs the installers to use the cheapest glass, unless you insist on OEM. From your description it appears they've fouled the rain sensor and it will require a new one, and a possible a new windshield if it an issue with the cheap Chinese one they typically use.
-
Welcome. Its likely that the installer trashed the rain sensor - have you tried it with it not in Auto? Who installed it, AutoLite SafeLite? .

Welcome. If it won't turn over with a wrench on the crank I'd suspect the valve timing has jumped. With a wrench on the crank are you able to rotate it just a little back and forth?
