Ford BLIS blind spot Warning: Diag & Repair

[@SouthMainAuto]

Found the green crusty like a boss!! I would have fixed it with a pair of side cutters :)

[@ghavila1766]

Knipex brand of course.

[@martinbell9171]

LOL @ SMA

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

hahaha Eric I knew you would be proud! Would you seal the open operation wound so the green crusties don't re-develop at the cut?

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Haha bells and whistles are nice until they stop working and become a pain in the ass! Well done Ivan :)

[@AP9311]

Ivan, beautiful diag and fix!, you mentioned Eric O, yep. You got that right, he would be chuckling and proud of ya for no scanner or over complicated fix. So so simple. Great job! Love it. See ya in next vid! :)

[@juantanamera7798]

I washed my car yesterday, left it in the garage. When I started it this morning I had the exact same message. I was freaking out, I have a tow bar but haven’t had a trailer on it for nearly 3 years. Found this video on KZbin and bam problem fixed in 10 minutes. I couldn’t believe the amount of water and dirt when I unscrewed the cover, it ran all down my arm but because I was on my back under the car I couldn’t get out of the way quick enough 😂. Thanks so much Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics.

[@SimplyDiagnostics]

“Channel our inner Eric O” miss you Ivan,

[@lorrinbarth1969]

And you got out of the car fixing business. If I was your age I'd be building a large shop. These new cars will be a gold mine.

[@rs1971camaro]

I use a .22 caliber bore brush for cleaning the female trailer connector. Brass bristles.

[@Jack-ns5mn]

The silver colored terminals don't have the same corrosion problems. I don't use the brass ones anymore.

[@billneu9520]

Hi Ivan, I use paint sprayer brushes from harbor F to clean trailer connectors. When not in trailering mode I use a plastic bag over the trailer ends for the winter You have the most interesting videos on KZbin you are a skilled professional. Thank You for your Videos.

[@wyattoneable]

I like the old school approach. Sometimes a visual is quicker than a scanner. And I agree, new cars drive me crazy. I rent a lot of cars in my job and they always have some light or dinger going off.

[@leannerein9387]

Thank you so much for posting this. It totally fixed the problem for me. When dampness hits I get all the binging and binging. Today I had a quiet ride. I’m

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Nice!

[@NotHarry-er3wg]

Thanks for the vid. Have seen this 1000 times why do they make these things so cheap in such a bad enviroment. Years ago I had U-haul install a hitch and the mechanic said there was a lifetime warranty on the hitch for another fee (if forgetting how much) so I said sure its worth it. on the way out I said "I'm surprised you guys do the warranty because the wiring always is a problem". He hesitated and said,... "oh this doesn't cover the wiring just the hitch" (like I asked the forbidden question). So I asked what ever goes wrong with the hitch, its solid steel. He said "you know if it rusts out welds fail. things like that". Well, I had already paid for it and convinced myself perhaps it may have some use. Of course 2 years later I was rewiring and replacing the connector which (as I said Has No warranty) People take heed. You would think it is rocket science. Water, Salt, corrosion, Hello folks... = Repeat Business. Ah Whatever live a learn. Ivan tell us about your job. Hopefully you are liking it. be safe!

[@NotHarry-er3wg]

As someone said Zip tie that puppies cover closed There cheap. In fact I would volunteer to blast Dielectric and zip tie the entire fleet of vehicles where you work. Although they are probably leased.

[@Blazer02LS]

Extended air nozzles are available at HF. I buy them, remove the valve and bore out the passages to get some real air flow. Drill holes in a row down the tube, Crimp the end closed and you have a right angle nozzle to clear crud out of the radiator/condenser cores.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Hmmm... now thats a good tip :)

[@billk5727]

Great idea! Bill

[@esmith836]

We had that car a few years ago. Every month there was a recall for something. Water pump started to leak and there was a update that needed to be downloaded but all that took almost four weeks. The car was not even a few years old. The touch screen radio would stop working when you turn it on. Sometimes turning off car and open and close the door would let modules go to sleep, it would start working but that was not always the fix. Got rid of that car and bought a Honda CRV lo! great video sharing the issues with all the bells and whistles on a car. Me personally to much shit to go wrong and a lot of cheap built items. Fantastic videos and a great variety of problem vehicles.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Thanks, Eric! Hopefully the Honda will treat you better.

[@Malcarper]

Looks like our previous fears of you taking on too much work Ivan, are coming true. Your clearly tired, now working on cars at night and at weekends, long drives to your work, before you even start the day job. We would all miss your great videos if you stopped making them, but your health is a concern. We don't want see you to go booooooooooom, start connecting a scanner to your body, trying to read health DTC's and getting age related green crusties before your time!

[@minstreljmin569]

Blessings on you and your dear ones, sir, for saving us a TON of hassle. Your video is clear and allowed us to fix this problem on our own, when it occurred ONE WEEK after we bought a Ford Escape 2017 for our kid's college car. We knew it was water-related (it had been pouring rain all day turning to snow) but despite a ton of online searching your vid was the only useful info out there regarding the problem. You are a mensch.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

My pleasure!

[@somerandomguy3868]

Old school rules! I always start with visual inspection, great video Ivan

[@toamataafa4647]

Nothing this guy can't fix..Blessings Ivan.

[@lightningsmokerXx]

Excellent Video, thanks for Posting Ivan. (ps HOLY CRAP ....State College to Long Island is like a 4-5hour drive)

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

pssshh that's a short drive. 10 hours is my daily limit :)

[@rmwayter1]

Great video. I had the exact same symptoms and you pointed me to the source of the problem. It was fixed in minutes. No more aggravating alarms and chimes and I lost my phantom trailer. Thank you.....

[@SAAutoRepair]

The wonderful new world of ADAS. But basic principles and common sense still prevail. Nice work pal

[@SouthMainAuto]

Everytime Ivan has the Russian techno playing I can't help but think he needs a dash cam for some reason....

[@DanKfilmmaker]

Always a good idea to do what Eric O. Would do! You guys have great diagnostic channels! I enjoy watching, thanks for the videos!

[@ericcorse]

Glad you fixed that would have been most aggravating. Safe travels.

[@100SteveB]

Here in the UK it is quite a serious to even touch your mobile phone whilst driving. Why? Because it causes the driver to become distracted from what he should be doing. So why are modern cars just crammed full of stuff that takes your mind of the job in hand - namely concentrating on the road ahead. !0 years ago you would just get a light on the dash alerting you to a problem, now you get annoying pop-up's you have to read. If you wanted to change the heat setting or radio volume, all you had to do was find the button and switch with your fingers, no need at all to take your eyes off the road. Now t's all touch screen which requires you to take your eyes off the road. Ummm........ Now i see why they are building collision avoidance systems in to new cars - so you can change the radio station or adjust the heater settings without causing an accident!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

BINGO! How about going through a menu on the touch screen just to change the blower fan speed?!? Ridiculous!!!

[@bigmac965]

Is it true that you can't eat or drink while driving in the UK?

[@CubasAutomotive]

100SteveB I WISH they were that strict here in the states! Too many distracted drivers for sure!

[@martinbell9171]

yep so true, i got pulled over a week ago for eating a bag of crisps, just got a warning but if mr plod wanted to he could have fined me.

[@snoopdogie187]

I see some new cars that have screens larger than my laptop screen. Then I see these videos of new cars that you need to use the touch screen to get anything to work. I dislike my phone because it is a touch screen only and I have to look at it to use it. I miss my old sidekick phone that I can type a paragraph without once ever looking at the phone. There is such a thing as tactile feedback. These cars, how can you use a touch screen while driving when people can't even use their phones while walking without problems.

[@brucel.6078]

I enjoy watching your troubleshooting methodology. Thanks for sharing!!

[@johngriffin4023]

ha! I wonder if someone else complained about it and they were like "hey why don't we give it to Ivan for a long drive, i'm sure he'll fix it!"

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Actually the guy who used to drive it got fired so it's been sitting for about a month lol

[@petrocksgarage]

Cool idea with the brake line for the blower nozzle. I'm gonna steal that one.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I hear ya - every time I get in my '07 Silverado with the key in the ignition, I want to take a baseball bat to the thing. That truck has THE most ANNOYING key-in warning chime I have EVER heard! It's at volume 10 too! GRRR ... 🤬 Was just riding around with my buddy today in his '17 F-250. Friggin thing has like 8 cameras on it, massaging & air conditioned AND heated seats, a 5 foot moonroof, and a giant tablet as part of the dash that controls everything, plus shows all the camera angles with a computer generated overhead view. Thing is absolutely insane. He'll probably trade it in 3 years, so lucky me, LOL! WAY too much electronics. Give me a car with heat, A/C, and a radio, and I'm good! Just wait until the '15-'18 cars are 12 years old. Oohhhh booooy are we going to be in for some workload!!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

The ONLY thing I want my car to beep at me for is if I forgot to turn off the headlights. THAT'S IT! Older cars are very easy to modify to get rid of the seatbelt and key-in dingers, as well as disabling the ABS and not having a Christmas tree dash. But new cars are getting annoyingly "hack-proof" lol

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I agree 100%! I put piezo buzzers in all my older cars as a headlight warning - one wire to the wiper fuse (or other switched hot), other wire to the marker lamp fuse. Plenty loud enough even sitting under the fuse cover. These days I've become used to auto headlights, and when I get in my older vehicles, I always leave the headlights on (except the Grand Marquis - that has a factory warning). That little buzzer has saved many dead batteries over the years. Someone told me there's a wire in the instrument cluster of my Silverado that I can cut to eliminate the BINGing. I have it written down somewhere .. of course, I can't remember where ...

[@Dirtyharry70585]

Most everything can be hacked in that ford. I had no nav in my 2016......until.......You can turn off those bells and even change fuel/spark.

[@kdmq]

If you were standing against that garage door at the wrong moment you might not be here today. Scary!

[@michaelovitch]

For cheap you can use Easy-Off BAM product the orange one or equivalent wich is quite acid and eat that corrosion really fast. Then molybdene grease for excavator or heavy equipment,once well cleaned. It will protect and stick to it forever.

[@willemstreutgers1154]

LOL, if you put your feet under the bumper the hatch will open automatic. With car electronics it's; if If it isn't there it cannot fail.

[@mrb1864]

that handy for when the rear view camera fails due to piss poor connections and you hit a pedestrian, allows you load the corpse quickly and carry on with your commute :-)

[@Dirtyharry70585]

fob has to be on person to kick open using sensor.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Also happens when you are trying to wash the car and drag the hose under the rear.

[@toppledgod]

The problem's in the name, Ivan, FORD stands for Fix Or Repair Daily!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

oh yeah I forgot to mention that xD

[@lightningsmokerXx]

I always take my krown can and spray the hell out of the trailer connection before winter and during winter to keep moisture off of it. I've heard before that this sort of thing can happen where the trailer connection get's crusty / or a wire severed and then lots of other electric issues happen. I guess this video is case in point.

[@robinsonsmotorcycleandauto3929]

Thats cool they supply you something to drive for trips. But to bad it was broken lol. Great Job as always Ivan.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Yeah I was like WTF stupid Ford and their beeping beeps lol

[@joseornelas208]

galad to see you're back!!!

[@fsnissen]

Good job. What an overly complicated POS. Great idea on the brake line extension for the blow gun.

[@topcat2740]

Not surprised by what you discovered.

[@gaylanhutcherson1501]

You are pretty good and smart Ivan stay safe on your trip

[@Jonathan11225]

My 2012 Chrysler 200 was probably the last of the ''old fashion''' car,nothing fancy other than the bluethoot and the factory remote start,no parktronic no back up camera or blind spot monitors ect. i love that thing

[@throttlebottle5906]

Any Chrysler/Dodge/Mopar dated beyond 1975 shouldn't be included in the same sentence with "old fashion", they more or less pioneered spewing needless garbage electronics into USA automobiles....

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Our other company cars are a 2015 and 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6. Other than the 2016 model having that annoying auto stop-start feature, I actually prefer the Jeep over this Ford Escape!

[@stephenlawrence4362]

Great diag Ivan. Common scene approach pays off again. I'm like you, give ne a 76 sedan deville any day

[@joolsgrudgings5776]

nice vid ivan, in the uk if its ford oem trailer wiring, the control box is behind the carpet in rhs trunk/boot rearward of the fuse box there. it gets all its imputs from the can-bus network and through that network the faults would have been reported to the instrument cluster.

[@herbertwatson1515]

hows your new job going glad to see you dia cars your skill is something to aspair to

[@fieldsofomagh]

What I would like to know is where did you leave the trailer that you borrowed ? The dash does'nt lie. Also I think you're giving the crusties some bad press. Where would we be without dielectric grease. just ordered a big can of it, enough for an infantry division.Feel deprived without the high tech and the gadgets. God bless and safe journey to Staten, sorry Long Island.

[@Chris-Fennimore]

I just got a 2018 Subaru Impreza for my wife. It has an ANALOG gauge that shows fuel economy . I think it is just connected to the intake vacuum line.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

BMW has had those stupid things for years lol

[@DaveSender66]

No scanner required ???? That was quick . Commonsense ,best tool for the job!!!

[@scottfirman]

Whom ever is maintaining those vehicles is NOT doing a good job. I had simular problems with my Trailblazer, only it was the trailer lights flashing on and off. The trailer lights were brand new so I suspected the greenys in the hitch plug. That kind comes apart and I was correct, the wires were green as could be. I cleaned them up and siliconed the snot out of them. Why cant they do that in the factory? Mine was a factory GM plug too.

[@Dirtyharry70585]

Its what happens when you dont inspect yah own car. People are just lazy. Ask if the even know where their oil stick is.

[@michaelgleason4791]

It was awfully nice of Ford to put that connector as close to the ground as possible.

[@cmgacmga9084]

Thank you. I was about to take my car to the dealer. I'm sure they would have changed at least $100. Great fix!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

👍🙂

[@tomh6779]

It has that foot actuated rear hatch opening option. You waive your foot below the hatch and it opens. You know, in case your hands are full.

[@NewLevelAuto]

I kinda liked the blis warning tune , reminds me of russian techno

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

LOL I had to turn up the techno to tune out that annoying beep hahaha

[@SpherosParabus]

You guys are hilarious!

[@Peter_Riis_DK]

Although, it might be interesting to see which codes - if any - were set, just for the h of it. Would they not still be present in the memory?

[@graymodeler]

I remember my Town and Country that had the towing package came with an extra wiring harness in a bag. I had to install it myself. Also there was not a hitch there from the factory. Off to the UHaul to have one installed. Some $500 option that was!

[@charlesmiller5078]

So if you find that the cars they assign you to drive are having problems, maybe someone at your new Job have been watching your videos and find it a easy way to get the cars maintained :), Dont blame them.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Kinda my thoughts too. I can see how the meeting went... "Hey Bob, make sure you give car X to Ivan, it has some light on and we need it fixed..."

[@charlesmiller5078]

Job Security

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Actually the guy who used to drive this car got fired so it's been sitting all sad and lonely for a month. I thought I would take it on a road trip before the brake rotors turn to chunks of rust and the battery goes dead haha

[@elcheapo5302]

"This car is only 2 years old!" Its a Ford, Ivan...you're lucky if you get one that outlasts bread.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

hahaha that's a good one xD

[@roscoesomeone9764]

I can't wait for self driving cars to show up. They will change our lives in ways we can't even imagine.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

That will be scary lol

[@MrCupcakey1234]

When the lift gate opened maybe it was the sensor that ford has to open it with your foot?? 🤔

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Wonder what that sensor is called...foot proximity liftgate sensor? xD

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

(Repair Tech Head Proximity Sensor)

[@MrCupcakey1234]

Apparently it’s called “hands-free lift gate” you kick under the bumper and the lift gate opens. Worthless tech just another thing to break in my opinion.

[@mman454]

Mike Litorus You say that until you’re carrying a bunch of heavy stuff.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

That auto liftgate is so slow I try to speed it up with my hand but then it freaks out and starts beeping at me lmao

[@rontiemens2553]

Nice work! You absolutely should bill your company for the fix.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Wonder what the Ford dealer would have charged for this repair?

[@spelunkerd]

One of the things that surprised me in our Subaru repair manual is their advice to never put silicone around electrical connectors. I use dielectric grease all the time, and I find the advice puzzling. Does anybody know why Subaru are committed to this policy? Of course it is nonconductive, but the long term risk is oxidation accelerated by water....

[@jamesu]

I don't know Subaru's reasoning but have had trouble with silicone paste in the two main engine connectors under the hood. Cleaned it out and all the weird gremlins disappeared.

[@mman454]

The awesome thing about ford BLIS vehicles is that they warn you of oncoming vehicles when your trying to back out of your average perpendicular parking lot.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

I just close my eyes, hit the gas, and hope for the best xD

[@mman454]

Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics You say that… But when some lawyers kid is flying down the aisle of a shopping center and you manage to scrape the side of the car, things can get interesting… Kid admits fault for driving like an idiot, insurance info is exchanged, and you go about your day only to get a call from the police asking for you to meet them and the other party involved. You arrive to find lawyer dad and kid are there with a cop waiting. Other party alleged that you caused damage to a different part of the kids car. You get lucky because the truck you were driving has a higher bumper height than the damage lawyer says you did, and cop sides with you as not causing the damage. The insurance adjuster comes out at a later date to measure the height of your bumper vs the height they measured on the damage to the kids car. Again you are lucky because the damage could not have been caused by your trucks bumper. Guess what? Even though the adjuster sides with you, the kid is still getting a payout for ALL the damage because the insurance company things it’s just cheaper to pay it than fighting for only the actual damage from this accident. ^That actually happened to a family member a few years ago, and that’s why I REALLY appreciate the blind spot with cross traffic alert feature. Now, if your bumper lined up with the other damage, you’d probably be considered at fault for that too. Wouldn’t you rather not have to deal with all that BS to begin with?

[@Propolizei]

Hello, I drive used Ford Focus 2011 Titanium 1.6 tdci 85kW, and I have a right only mirror with symbols and spot for blinking in BLIS system, but on my board computer, under driver assistance- I have only Traction and Hill Assist. Can I turn on a right mirror BLIS, or I cannot (does it means that is right rear mirror substitute orignal?). I dont understand ... Thanks

[@mynock250]

We drive newer Ford Taurus, Explorers and Escapes at work, ( LE) they all have electronic problems. We just learn to ignore the lights and chimes, it’s government work so they never get repaired.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Every time I hear a chime I floor the accelerator...must be why it only gets 16mpg haha

[@opl500]

Drives Pepe? By 2025, mechanics will be full blown computer geeks.

[@retroguitarmaster]

What you don't realize is that the beeping is morse code for "throw me off a cliff, please i beg you, i'm going crazy , i'm too smart"

[@caduceus33]

Hopefully a car manufacturer will wise up and build a simple and reliable car, no bells and whistles. They might sell millions of them to people who are fed up with these overboard electronic nightmares.

[@Gerv401]

Can you also put one in a 2007 Ford Edge blind-spot detector

[@baxrok2.]

BLISsfully quiet! Thanks!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Well that was an easy one. Not sure how you even drove the car home with all the warning messages and beeping going on. I would have gone nuts!!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Easy. Just turn up the Russian Techno. The sound system in this thing is actually pretty awesome. Had to dial down the bass haha

[@ozzstars_cars]

lol Ivan! I'm going to the mall now to buy a Russian Techno greatest hits CD. I should have done this years ago! haha Thanks for the tip

[@diymisfit_Mechanic_UDX404]

Yup, you put your head in the correct funnel for that one

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

"But the Mazda goes mmmmm". Ivan's too young to know what I'm talking about. These new cars are like our phones Touch them in the wrong spot and they quiver and freak out. Everything's a button.

[@drm315]

I had a girlfriend like that once...

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

For the record it took five minutes for someone to go there lmao.

[@SKANK_HUNT49]

I thought they went zoom zoom

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

(Fleet Mngr to your Supvsr) "Let's give that new wiz kid Ivan all the "problem child" cars- he'll fix them. I'd zip tie a plastic bag around that plug, wedge it back in the bracket.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

plastic bag would probably just collect and trap in the moisture lol

[@opl500]

Vaseline or some other dielectric grease. Never can go wrong with zipties.

[@opl500]

I'm guessing this car is well seasoned with road salt?

[@somerandomguy3868]

Hey Ivan you probably don't get a lot of down time but I think you'll enjoy " circuit scramble " it's a pure logic puzzle app I just came across today hope you enjoy it

[@02markcal]

What car built today has the least electronics?

[@zx8401ztv]

lol you have to repair a loan car before you can use it, thats a new one :-D. Too many computers and stupid systems in cars, too much that will go wrong. Yes im an old git LOL :-D

[@martinbell9171]

zx8401ztv no problem with been an old git mate, these tech guys that make all this technical junk should learn a thing or 2 with us old gits lol.

[@zx8401ztv]

Martin bell, lol i dont think they would like my views on computers and the stupid uses. Given half a chance i would rather have an engine management computer and security be the only smart devices in a car. Everything else will run fine on basic power systems. Automatic lights/wipers and other junk need not exist if people were taught to "drive a car". It's not that i want to stay in the past, just don't use over complex systems to do really simple jobs. Dam i do moan a lot LOL :-D :-D

[@8953147]

I wonder with the short that existed, that system would have had a higher voltage causing the fault?

[@richardcranium5839]

i thought it was the rambler goes beep beep lol is that equipped with an atr???

[@emmashepard2070]

The more complex things get the more likely they are to break. I personally prefer things to be more simple a car like that is cool at first until everything starts glitching out and breaks

[@edwardmartinez199]

Hey Ivan how is the new job working out?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

so far so good!

[@PhonePhone-bz2ql]

Mine gets 23 while driving rideshare. And the hatch went up because the sensor underneath was activated. Usually it is activated by waving my foot underneath.

[@chungaleta1234]

Truck or space ship???

[@18888888888888888886]

LOL you opened the trunk with your air nozzle ... there is a sensor just above that trailer hitch its supposed to open the trunk if you waived your feet as a convenience function... im shocked that you did not realize that lol.

[@fredberfal1246]

youll probably want to escape if your stuck with a cream puff like this. LOL

[@zoidberg444]

This is pretty much what my company has done to me for the last 3 years since i started working on cars. They give me the broken one. Then have the balls to complain about the parts bill on the company credit card. Did you say its a 2L ecoboost and it can only do 16mpg? The 2L duratec petrol in a Mondeo estate will do about 30 on the motorway if you don't rag it to hard. I've got 34mpg out of the 1.8 duratec.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

I got 21mpg on a hilly highway...problem with a turbo is that I use the boost too much xD

[@naushadali95]

great job.thanks

[@captcj747]

Not your fathers Oldsmobile!!!

[@jdretiree2433]

being the new hire that you are..........I would fix the problem and be happy the company gives you a car to drive.

[@squareyes1981]

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep

[@volvo09]

Bong bong bong, Bing Bing bong, ding ding ding, beep beep, chirp, beep. Doo dee doo, doo dee doo, doo dee doo, OKAY! ENOUGH!!!!! I'LL WALK!!!

[@francismartinez6049]

volvo09 ugh I hate the bong sounds. You get that with GMs . Super annoying

[@RicardoPCGamer]

Brian Lawrance those most annoying thing about Gm's is when you turn it off and close the door. The frickin horn will honk 3 times.

[@opl500]

Make sure to grease the rear. Of the connector too.

[@themainguy5050]

Modern cars when they short out they go nuts. When all the system start feeling it's going to get expensive

[@closertothetruth9209]

You need puddles of DW40 on the road every few miles

[@sweetwilliam49]

What kinda job did Ivan get??

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Field Engineer for a company that provides industrial vibration monitoring hardware, software, and monitoring services :)

[@sweetwilliam49]

Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics Good deal Ivan! A steady paycheck and a retirement plan means a lot to a young man! I bet it made Mama happy too. Now all we need is a little Ivan or Two!

[@CXensation]

You will thumb the dash repeatedly to stop that alarm clock.

[@fredberfal1246]

looks like a car for dessert. only field trips

[@ojjenkins7110]

Did you water proof the connector where the 3 wires go into the connector rear? If you did good, if not you better :-) Have fun driving in NYC, get a rope :-)

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

For towing the Ford back home? xD

[@ojjenkins7110]

Remember the old Pace salsa commercials? Hey Cookie this stuff is made in NYC, referring to another brand that Cookie got instead of Pace, so someone says get a rope :-) , to hang Cookie with :-)

[@vitaly_vasilev_2012]

Спасибо.

[@davidraezer5937]

All this technology driver aid stuff! Let’s take the responsibility away from the driver. I think it’s a sign I’m getting old!!! I turn all that crap off if I can. I think cars have some important or beneficial features but removing the driver is like having to stop for pedestrians who have he right of way and step in front of a moving car without looking. Redundancy is needed in this not my fault society!

[@jkbrown5496]

Apparently, new car buyers look for more software in the car than anything these days. Of course, that software runs some embedded electronics. And it all comes to naught because they couldn't spring for a watertight cap on the trailer lights connector. How can you see anything on a dark night with all that light from the dash in your face?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

I tried to dim the dash, but it is too smart and is still too bright in the daytime lol

[@600lwp]

You just set a code for improper spacing in the beep logic........Ideal car, 1972 Mavrick, 302 AT just carry a extra set of points with you

[@sdttnkara]

Trunk was opened because the foot sensor was activated by your movements at rear of the car.

[@Ron-h4l]

How many miles on it?

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

26k

[@Ron-h4l]

Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics thanks

[@jeremyanthony9300]

Ivan. next time they give you a car to drive, ask for a highlander or a rav4 . they're better cars than fords.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

All we have is two Jeep Grand Cherokees and this Escape...
