    Possible 1234yf Contamination during recharge

    I would pull the system down to vacuum and replace the refrigerant as a precaution. The two types are not compatible and AC systems are expensive to replace.

    Looking to purchase 2016 or 2017 4wd-questions on octane, turbos etc

    I have a 2017 and can confirm is does NOT use dual injection. Edge (Copilot probably) is either hallucinating or confusing model year with the year the model actually came out in. I.e. the 2018 model, AKA 4th gen, started selling late in 2017

    Looking to purchase 2016 or 2017 4wd-questions on octane, turbos etc

    No issues with the turbos on my 2017. Running 87 octane. I tried 91 but didn't notice any difference so stuck with the cheaper fuel.

    P2099 Turbo/Waste Gate

    I thought that if you went to significantly higher altitudes you were supposed to use lower octane fuel. But the keywords are significantly higher otherwise use what the vehicle is rated for (87 even for the eco boost). What fuel were you using when in the mountains? Were you using 93? That...

    Txv valve location

    I don't think you do. Standard procedure is pump it down to a vacuum and then add the required amount of refrigerant. It's all automated via the A/C machine.

    Another Recall For 2015 - 2017

    Well I just got two recall letters from Ford. One saying the master brake cylinder part is in and I can schedule to have it replaced. The second saying I'm affected by the backup camera recall but to wait until parts are available.

    Repair Costs

    With a repair bill that high, a second opinion is warranted.

    Another Recall For 2015 - 2017

    So looks bad but my rear camera has gone all hazy. If I can get a new camera out of the recall then it's a win for me.

    AC clutch - no 12V, Fuses and relay ok

    I have a 2017 and had AC issues. The compressor died and was replaced. It was good until a week later and I started to get intermittent AC. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. After some diagnosis, it was determined that the (pigtail?) connector and its wires were bad. The...

    Curious

    I do this as well. I seem to recall that I had to use the keypad to lock though.

    Interior Lights Won't Go Out

    OMG! Thanks you guys. That was it. Played around with the dimmer switch earlier this week. I guess I must have accidentally moved it into the permanently on position. Yeah, what a stupid design.

    Interior Lights Won't Go Out

    Like the title says the interior lights won't go out. They stay on while driving which is super annoying at night. No lights on the dash indicating a door or the hatch is open. Running boards respond normally. Dash lights and the tail lights respond normally when opening and closing the door...

    Roof Rack Part

    I have a kayak roof rack that clamps onto the factory crossbars. Due to an unfortunate incident involving my spouse and a multi-story parking garage things got banged up a bit. While the kayak rack survived the front crossbar got almost ripped out from the passenger side rail. The crossbar did...

    Yet Another AC Thread

    I have a 2017 Limited, shorty. I had the AC compressor replaced earlier this summer because it was constantly blowing hot. Compressor had seized up. Fast forward a couple of months and the AC is acting up again. It intermittently blows hot instead of cold or sometimes hot all the time. Took it...
