TOPDON is what I'd consider middle range - there's a few other brands that are cheaper and have good reviews.

The Fluke 77 was the top of the line multimeter when I got it in 1983 and it's still going strong, however that is not what I use to assess a battery's health for the reasons explained above.

A 600 CCA rated battery would be consider past its useful life long before the CCA drops anywhere as low as 10.0A The settled voltage of the battery is only an indication of its level of charge, not an indication of its health/CCA capacity. .

A volt meter is not a reliable test of a batteries health - its CCA ability.

Measure continuity of both O2 sensors heaters and if that's good confirm voltage across the heaters. What brand and model O2 sensors did you install?

Glad you got it resolved. I'm a puzzled by that comment - based on your own description the signs were there of a bad battery, and that's what I based my recommendations on. For the benefit of others, most auto/parts/accessory stores have test equipment that can reliably diagnose a bad battery, or even a battery is approaching end of life long before it presents a problem - they can also supply and fit a battery equal or better than the OEM at a price significantly lower than the dealership. Good quality testers can be bought on-line at a reasonable price and are real simple to use.

The tester that auto shops and many DIY'ers use does not require more skills than basic reading. TOPDON BT100 Car Battery Tester 12V Load Tester, 100-2000 CCA Automotive Alternator Tester Digital Auto Battery Analyzer Charging Cranking System Tester for Car Truck Motorcycle

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.

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.

@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.

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?

When you gas up, do you stop at the first click or give the nozzle a few more presses? https://www.newsweek.com/car-expert-warns-why-you-should-never-add-more-fuel-after-nozzle-clicks-off-stop-2018339
