    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    The factory used a copper clamp to join the ground wires for the puddle light, indicator light, and heated mirror to a single 18awg wire connecting to pin 2 of C516. I avoided shortening the ground connection by stripping a bit of insulation and soldering the wire directly to the clamp. The...

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    We're still in better shape to access the wiring harness. After removing the foam insulation from the mounting side of the mirror assembly you will see a plastic push-clip securing the wiring harness to the frame. Detach that clip by prying it to produce slack on the wiring. This...

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    SUCCESS!!! :happy107: The issue was a broken ground wire at the splice. Here are a few pics to hopefully aide others with related issues. Thank you star-art for the feedback and link to the F-150 mirror disassembly, which helped more than I initially anticipated. Detach mirror from the...

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    I appreciate the continued support! That's a helpful link and the mirror motor removal should be quite similar. Unfortunately, my wiring harness snakes down into the joint where the mirror folds inward. I'll take some pics next time it's removed but hopefully the problem will be resolved by...

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    I've isolated the problem to the wiring harness inside the mirror. There appears to be a common ground for the puddle light, heated mirror, and indicator light that joins somewhere in the harness and connects to chassis ground pin 2 on C516. I am getting intermittent continuity between those...

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    Thanks for setting that straight! I would have felt a bit silly after pulling that mirror. Hopefully I can get some testing in this weekend.

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    Thank you for that info! I firmly tugged on the harness boot at the door hinge while taking the open door measurements but there was no voltage variance. That doesn't necessarily rule out a loose or bad pin as you mentioned so now I have to access the inner door panel for C516. Hopefully I...

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    I needed the vehicle so there was no time for extensive testing. However, this is what I observed today. The voltage on the heated mirror supply line measured +1.5v with the defroster on and the door open. The voltage reversed to -12v when the defroster was turned off with the door open. The...

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    Just a quick update. I tested the dimming circuit by shining variable light at the rear view mirror sensor while checking voltage on the white supply connector (exhibit 2A above). The voltage reading ranged from 0v-1.35v based on the light intensity, which falls below the 1.4v MAX indicated on...

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    I appreciate the guidance and responses. Between the weather and work hours I didn't have a chance to revisit this until today, and it was raining steadily. After removing the driver's side mirror I encountered the following. 1 - detached the heated mirror connections, activated the rear...

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    I searched and didn't see that post, thanks for the reference! Hopefully the heated mirrors will have a simple solution.

    Side Mirror Glass Removal

    The heating function on my 2013 driver's side mirror isn't working and thought I'd check the connections on the rear of the glass. Any tips on removing the glass from the mirror housing?

    Key Programming

    That appears to be the adapter of choice. I was also looking at the OBDLink MX+but still trying to determine if there's any significant difference in functionality for Ford vehicles.

    Key Programming

    I haven't heard of this but it looks interesting. The Enhanced Ford Expansion supports quite a bit and the combination appears to rival some of the diagnostic tools in the $1,000+ range.

    Key Programming

    Thanks for the confirmation. I'll go this route if the need arises again. May I ask which OBDII device you used?

    Key Programming

    Can anyone confirm if FORScan can erase and program '13 keys?

    Key Programming

    The local Ford dealer charges $130 for the 4-button transmitter key blank and $150 to program. That's darn near $300 including tax.

    Key Programming

    The desire for a remote starter accelerated my need for an additional primary key. There is a programming sequence whereby the alarm/remote-start module is programmed using the 2-key method documented in the Ford manual, using one of the 8 available key placeholders. On the 2013 you can...

    Key Programming

    I read another post where someone got a duplicate key made at Walmart and there was no programming at the vehicle. That would indicate a cloned key, where the duplicate emulates the original. This would serve as a backup key but would not allow programming of additional keys using the 2-key...

    Key Programming

    The 2013 is not push to start and this is my only key. The second image is a stock photo but identical. The 'SA' on the blade indicated an 80-bit key. My goal is to program a second key to the vehicle, and remove any others that might already be programmed. Does anyone know if locksmiths...

    Key Programming

    Hi to the forum once again! I only have one key for my 2013 Expy and would like to know if FORScan would allow me to erase and reprogram two keys, my existing and one additional. Local locksmiths are charging varying amounts for programming and I would rather invest in a good OBDII scan tool...

    Front bumper air deflector on 2010?

    Thanks, that's exactly my issue. I tried larger push clips today and hopefully that does the trick. It would be helpful to see exactly how it's folded from the factory, perhaps the bottom flap should be folded counter intuitively as suggested in one of the posts.

    Front bumper air deflector on 2010?

    I believe you're missing the flexible front air deflector. It's Ford part #7L1Z-8327-A for my 2013 and looks like this. I'm missing the original push clips and I'm trying to identify the correct size. The darn thing loosens every time I'm in the highway.

    Ford SYNC Version & Update

    It appears that SYNC v4.6 is not fully functional with my 2013 head unit. The 'Veh. Health Report' and 'SYNC Services' both dial non-working numbers and 'Mobile Apps' just does not work. I'm contemplating a Kenwood or Pioneer replacement but that's a topic for another day. I appreciate the...
