Red face Re: 12V Battery Replacement

Just replaced my OEM 12v battery......failed to trip the relays just once the other day, but did on a second try. Drove straight to get a replacement. 78 months on that original motorcraft....dealer...

Red face Re: 2005/180,000 miles? should i chance it?

Documented taxi versions of the 2005 lasted almost twice as many miles as this one has on it (and those were mostly NOT highway).
Highly unlikely that the battery was replaced but if it was I would...

Red face Re: Winter tires

That has not been my experience, even with the Michelins.
These trucks were designed by the engineers to get by on slippery roads using the 4WD(AWD) option. I believe you are going to continue to be...

Red face Re: I want to modify the Escape Hybrid

This can be done to our trucks with a conversion to lithium-ion batteries and a plug in charging system...........but not with some COTS 'capacitors' or other parts you get at the hardware store. ...

Red face Re: "Stop Safely Now"

The 12V battery is no different than one in a non-hybrid...should be the same cost. Just have a store look up the recommended replacement for your make and model. I have 70k miles and almost 6 years...

Red face Re: Help!! No electric assist. Extreme heat??

This part of your experience matched the one I had this summer. My FEH sat in the sun for 6 hours on one of the hottest day of the year. Then, when I went to leave, it was very weak with no...

IIRC, there is no specific code for the MCES pump failure. Just a combination of diagnostic traits....overheating code, visible fluctuations in the coolant flow with the cap off, noises from the old...

Red face Re: Recommended Transmission Service & Transmission Filter ?'s

Red face Re: Recommended maintenance?

That was just more of the same sales pitch.....your first instinct was correct, its highly likely your vehicle does not need the services they quoted at your current mileage.

Red face Re: When should I change the oil on my 2006 MMH?

That's weird, the 2006 OM calls for oil change at 10,000 miles. (twice as long as I would wait) But the fact that the engine only runs a percentage of the miles, and if you use a full...

Red face Re: New Problem - Clunk and ABS lite flash just before stop

In my opinion, they did not make the tone ring thick enough.

If you can see in the photo (front passenger side) the ring just slips ( is pressed ) on to the hub. Lots of trade space for thickness...

Here we go again. This comes up at the beginning of every winter. Remember, the FEH electric motors are contributing to the economy of the truck even if the ICE is on. The real comparison is between...

Red face Re: Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD just spins on snow and ice

Your 4WD/AWD is broken or turned off some how.
I can get my back wheels to engage on grassy hills in the Summer or even piles of leaves in the Fall. And I can tell when the rear wheels engage -...

Red face Re: Second Failure on my 09 FEH

Right, but what does the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) really need Outside Air Temperature (OAT) for?

It measures what it needs,......the temperature of the air entering the engine (IAT).

Red face Re: UPDATE: New Problem - Clunk and ABS lite flash just before stop

I had to have one tone ring replaced last month. If you have a 4WD model, the key is that both the brake and the "4WD disabled" warnings appear......along with the shutter as the truck employs ABS...

Red face Re: Second Failure on my 09 FEH

Right, no dedicated OAT sensor. I believe the first gen FEHs infer (predict rather than directly measure) a value for OAT from the measured IAT........for PCM purposes.

Some owners installed the...

My earlier post was worded too strongly.....it's fair to say the brake pedal controls the hydraulics in failsafe mode. See attached.
