2020 Titanium. When you touch the door handles and open a door, the lights (daytime running and parking) and tail lights come on as well as the puddle lights. I like other spend clear nights out at romote sites with my telescope. I need a way to be able to get into my car occasionally without all the lights coming on and disturbing my night vision as well as others around me. I've not yet been able to figure out what fuses control all these lights or the actions that turn them on. Would anyone have any suggestions?

Had the battery replaced recently by a local (and highly recommended) shop. This shop by the way, specializes in Ford cars/trucks. The guy there said that at 60K (I'm just over that) the transmission/torque converter should have it's fluid flushed and replace and that the transaxle (AWD) should similarly have it's fluid replaced. Ford's maintenance schedule makes no mention of this. What's the scoop?

Regarding the reset of the battery monitor, the second step says "Turn ignition switch to on (don't start car). Wait 10 seconds." In a car like my 2020 where it's a push button, does that correspond to pushing the button once with the foot off the break?

Car is over five years old so I'm thinking it's probably good to replace the original factory battery. Question is, what does every one think is the best replacement? I understand that it should be an H6 or Group 48 AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery but beyond that I'm not sure what the best choice would be. I know I could go right to my local Ford dealer but I suspect that might be the most expensive option. What should I do?

The battery in the remote was replace, maybe two months ago. I'm going to review all the info you sent however. Thank you!

AutoZone. They didn't use the acronym CCA and I am not a car guy so I'm too stupid to know what CCA means. But that's what you're implying any way so I hope I've satisfied you.

CCAs. ??

I'm not going to argue with you. I and the two other people that were in the car with me know what happened.

Well, I can't explain it but, I have only attempted the Parallel and for the third time now, I'll say it, the car did all the work.

Well, that would certainly be my preference but as I said, the car did everything.

Well, when I activated the active park assist for a parallel park, it told me, essentially, hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals. It did it all and damn fast. But accurately.

Active park assist? Is that the push the button and it'll park the car (parallel or into a slot) by itself? If so, yeah, the problem is I don't trust it. I tried the parallel one and it whipped the car into the spot so fast that if someone had stepped off the curb at that very moment they would have been killed. Nope, not for me.

Well, I just had the battery checked. It's fine. I may have to go to Ford and see if they can diagnose this (and the sensor issue).

Hmm... well, there's only one pole and it's happening on both sides of the vehicle. Either way it seems somethings gone wrong. This only started a few months ago. You don't think it might be connected to the battery issue do you?
