I have found that I hit my knee on the light switch, turning them on when I get in. As soon as I start it, it returns to Auto. Took me a while to figure out what was happening

Seems like an expensive solution for a problem that really isn't that bad...

If you're mechanically inclined, pull the alternator yourself and clean it. On mine, the brushes got fouled. Once I took it apart, I reset the brushes and it's been fine for over 15k miles. Get your self a new belt and just cut off the old one. That was one of the more difficult aspects as...

The typical break point for true winter tires is 45f. Typical tire compounds start getting harder as it gets colder, winter compounds get softer above 45. I "think" they are trying to say (poorly) that these tires are designed for above and below that 45f point. Would definitely think you...

Yeah, the only way I have found is to disable the wireless connections to the Bronco, then you can connect to the dashcam. I rarely connect to my dashcam though, typically just pull the card and download it my PC if there's anything interesting. Keep a pretty big card in there so I have a...

The reason I rigged a camera on the back of my camper so I can keep an eye on the toad.

Nothing like barrel aged E85 :cool:

Nope, no known outside source of interference. Baffled by why it does it AFTER I shut the engine down.

Nothing on FordPass. This is when I'm in the vehicle and just hit the button to stop the engine which is so weird. Nothing seems consistent with location, it happens at home, at misc parking spots, etc

Anyone else get this message AFTER turning the engine off? I've gotten it occasionally while running, but seem to get it more often when I have just shut it down. I've gotten to the point I just ignore it but really don't want to be stuck somewhere.

Yep, plus they don't come on under ~30mph. They shut down as soon as you can see tail lights and/or headlights

Is this a 2.3? There aren't any idlers for the alternator on the 2.7, it uses a stretch belt. Guess the crank pulley and other systems could have been damaged, but that's way more than what the TSB would cover

yeah, I couldn't find a belt so had to take it off and reuse. That was one of the biggest hassles.

not sure how you got twigs inside of the housing, but bet you had fun doing it :cool:. When I had mine fail (and ended up fixing it myself), the problem was the brushes got fouled and hung up so they didn't make contact with the shaft. I had to take the alternator apart and washed everything...

Thanks

Thanks, I understand they cover the pinch weld, I was asking how far do they hang below it when stowed. " i.e how much clearance is lost?"

When stowed, how far do they hang down below the pinch weld? i.e. how much clearance is lost?

Just got back from a trip to Iceland (highly recommend). Didn't really expect to see any there, but there were a couple. All were in town or on the highway. There really isn't off roading there, they are hard core about staying on established roads and tracks. Wintertime and on glaciers is...

Starting to get this intermittently. '22 Badlands, high package. It will do it right after I get in and start it, so keyfob not going to sleep. Has done it with keyfob in console and in my pocket. Has done it as I shut it off and got a message to restart or get my keyfob which makes no sense.

Wow, I go through a some rain puddles in Moab and I get to learn how to R&R and clean mine in a AirBNB garage. You never know
