2020 Max Limited bought as a CPO with 28K miles on it. Have a few small issues.

1) The rear camera spray washer doesn't seem to be working, trying to figure out what plumbs this?
2) Drivers rear tail light seems to get a little water in it, and fogs slightly (wondering if thats worth bringing back for warrantee)
3) We keep getting phantom alerts from the drivers side parking sensors, often when pretty far away from an obstacle.
4) When using the button to close the tailgate the gauge cluster will still say "tailgate open" after closing (maybe a sensor or latch that needs to be cleaned or lubed?)


Any suggestions on the above?

One potential answer for you: the rear camera spray only activates if you are in reverse, and activate the rear wiper washer. It doesn't activate if you're not backing up.

I never knew this. So the rear camera washer does not do it's thing every time the rear window washer is used? I am pretty sure the front camera washer turns on each time the windshield washer is used. I will have to try this out.

Since you bought the vehicle as a CPO - does it have any type of warranty (or is the original warranty still in place)?

If so - take it to the dealer for repairs.

Especially for the tail light, those stupid things are unbelievably expensive for the junk they are. Had to replace one of mine after about 6k miles.

Early on owning mine, I went to two Ford dealerships to complain about the condensation that occurs in the tail lights. Apparently they won't cover it unless the water is beading down inside the housing. So if you actually have water in it, it should be a good enough reason for warranty repair.
