I also recommend cleaning the area thoroughly and re-evaluating the leak. I'm also switching all 4 vehicles that I maintain to Peak 10X.

I don't think that you can really prevent a WP failure. Now I do check the coolant overflow tank regularly and changed the information display to show engine coolant temperature. If it goes bad I will park the car in the garage and drive one of my other vehicles while I fix it. I figure if I can replace a head gasket or lower intake manifold gasket, I can do this was well.

"ENGINE COOLANT OVER TEMP — Displayed when the engine coolant temperature is excessively high." I'm looking for the gauge, not the idiot light! I will look at the google doc, but I figure I might have to use ForScan.

What did you end up doing?

How did you get this gauge to show up on your screen? I am looking to enable this on a 2011 SEL.

I probably should have added that I ended up replacing the diode pack on the above referenced alternator, and I keep it around as a spare.

I haven't figured out to enable this on this car. Can I even do this, or do I need ForScan?

I would like to point out that when using a battery tender, connect the negative to a metal part of the car, not the battery. Normally I would just go to the negative terminal, but in this car if you do that you are bypassing BMS (the sensor on the negative battery cable). Now if for some reason you want to bypass BMS current monitoring, then yes connect your battery tender directly to the negative battery terminal.

In my case it ended up being the battery. Replaced the battery and reset BMS in ForScan. As an alternate, I believe that one can completely turn off BMS in ForScan.

Thanks for the update!!!

I have had this happen on another car.... Ended up installing a high output alternator and used a battery tender.

1985 Escort GT 1995 Escort LX -> I got rid of this car in 2020 2011 Edge SEL

Won't the Group 65 AGM battery that they sell for $150 at WalMart be the best deal going?

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking about doing just that, but I didn't want to break anything. Looks like there are two on the bottom. Found this pic on eBay.
