I have a 2019 escape titanium with the 2.0 engine and recently the car stalled when stop start was activated and I had to put it in park and restart it. Since turning that off I have had no issues with stalling but I’m having some weird electrical things happening. The battery tests good with a multimeter when off and running. However I started monitoring live data and have observed control module voltage sometimes bouncing around and even spiking momentarily to 50V and dipping to 0.007V. It does not always do this. I have no warning lights or codes. Also, I have seen coolant temperature spike to 150C momentarily but it’s not really getting that hot. I have also had the stereo restart and dash lights go off for a bit and come back on and the charge port turn off. A few weeks prior I had the car intermittently buck when accelerating. Since I disconnected the battery overnight and reconnected it I have not had that buck happen. From research I think my issue might be with one of these high current fuses. I think when I removed the battery cover I probably moved that plate a bit that corrected some of the issues like the bucking but I still have these other gremlins because there’s a fuse issue. I’m going to use a multimeter to test input and output voltage on each fuse. Do you think this would be a good starting point and that a faulty fuse could be the issue? The other thing it could be is a bad engine ground but seeing the amount of issues with these fuses is making me think this is the issue. Usually it’s the far right red one that’s causing start issues but I think any of them could become a problem with this design.
It’s hard to say where to start. Loose wire, bad wire, grounding out wire but it sounds like you have good grasp of what to look for. just start a check list of things to cross off till you find the issue.
@@diawithraul thanks for your reply! I think it’s that 50A fuse and I’m hoping I’m right. I saw the electrical schematic showing it also powers the body control module. And the body control module communicates with other modules including the PCM. So if there’s a voltage drop happening with that then it could be creating the issues I’m seeing. My fuse may be affected in such a way that it’s not causing me starting issues but these other problems instead. I’m going to buy the fuse and replace it regardless because there are many people who had their car die while driving it because of that fuse and it was reported that the new fuse design from Ford is different meaning Ford is aware of the problem. Since I will have it apart I might as well replace it even if it tests ok.
Just want to put this out there for Ford Escape and other ford owners that use this same type of battery distribution panel. There are 6-8 fuses in this panel. These fuses do fail over time. They are not fully open but they become intermittent and cause issues like no crank / no start and other odd electrical issues. The right most fuse is a 50A and is usually the first to fail.
Ha, I was kind of happy to see you battling that little set screw in the handle as well. By far, that was the worst part of my struggle with this thing.
The Kohler shower valve in our bathroom is quite different and so far not covered here on youtube. It is a "shower only" type valve similar to Kohler part # K-8304-KS. There is no tub/bath faucet. It is only 5 years old and leaking through the shower head.
The disassembly of the K-8304 valve is quite different. There are 2 check valves (part #1229168) on the left and right which obstruct the removal of the cartridge (part #GP800881). @@diawithraul
My issue: ONLY windshield wiper motors stopped working -- and unpredictably, intermittent rear wiper wipers work in "off" position, but work well otherwise -- after I replaced leaking battery. (106k mi on 2016 Escape SE, 1.6L turbo engine replaced at 25K miles.) Mechanic friend says possibly heat or other damage to negative cable area that plugs into a plastic connector that leads (he says) to control wiper motors and other parts. Going to remove, inspect it. Your take? Should I inspect those wires to/from positive cable you replaced in the video?
My car doesn't have this problem (not yet at least) so I'll keep this trick in mind. Another alternative I thought of is to use pressurized air to blow out the buildup from the top to the bottom.
It looks as if you didn’t get an anti reflective coating on your bifocals. I know we are all different but I find that without the coating they feel uncomfortable to me. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺.
@@diawithraul Yes, finally thanks! Used a small pry tool on the ears one by one until a firm wiggle finally popped it out. One critical note: after replacing the cartridge and the the valve - it still dripped! Found a suggestion on the web to gob all the seals with "Plumbers Grease" instead of just silicone. What I found at ACE was called waterproof grease. Its clear like silicone but a bit pastier and is for plumbing use (valve stems etc.). No more drips for the last three days : ). I do hate when such simple sounding things become such an adventure! Thanks again for sharing - and the reply!
What type of microwave do you people have because mine doesn't work using the #2 button I have a Panasonic microwave and I keep seeing the same thing in every video I've watched and it doesn't work 🤨🤔
Will this cause the car to stop running also? I had the issue posted below where I had to wiggle wire on post connection to get it to start.. but it would stay running.. now it shuts off while driving it's been very dangerous stranding me on the road last 2 days. Hopefully you can respond, I had the car towed and no one can figure out why it's doing this.
Samething I'm 41. Never had an issue with my sight. Now i have to hold things far away to read. I bought reading glasses but decided to go to the eye doctor and get bifocals as well.
My Man!! WE R TH SAME whn it comes to wearing shades in ANY WEATHER LoL.. Now I jst got mine yesterday n ur RIGHT its a HUGE PAIN I feel like Im a freakin robot havin to move my head all th time.. Had glasses since 13 n its hard gettn use to this.. I too have th progressive n transiton.. Again its a pain.. So yea Ima have to get use to it but havin scloritis in my right eye doesnt help 🤦🏻♂️ Either way thnx Now Ik wht to do..
Did you check the o rings for any rips? That’s what happened to mine, the thin o ring tore causing mine to leak. Feel free to reach out to me through any of my social media DM’s for a faster response. I would love to help you out
Have you had any issues with it since? That little red wire is the positive wire for the battery’s current sensor (on the negative terminal) so it’s supposed to be connected as close to the post as possible, but I really can’t see an issue with it as long as the main cable and terminations are in good condition…
That was awesome to watch! You can tell you really take pride in your work too. As you should!!! I have been renting my townhouse for 11 years and no plans to move ever. I found out i totally by accident moved into the exact same place my aunt and uncle and cousin Patti lived in about 37 years before I moved in (they were the first tenants after the building was built) and while they were living here my parents and my sister and I were in town for my mom's sister's wedding and my parents decided to get married too and just had a little JP wedding here in this place. So i have a few pictures fron that day you can hold up and see exactly where they were but its 70's furniture and shag carpet lol. I literally had no idea until 3½ or 4 months after i moved in when i brought my week old baby boy to see my aunt at her current house and she started quizzing me on what way my stairs go when I open the door and if my neighbors had stairs when they open their door or if that's their main floor. A couple weeks later her and my other aunt on my dad's side came to visit me and my aunt was in complete shock and said its the exact same unit. Just crazy. So I told the rental company I'm never ever moving lol. I feel like i was meant to be here. And now I can totally confirm both of my parents have been here in spirit since then as well. My mom at least once and my dad at least twice plus I also had one of those visit dreams with him finally! Well in January 2021 they were kind enough to rip out all the carpet in the entire place and put in vinyl plank flooring and they also gutted my kitchen and made me a new one. That was rough living here while it was going on but i wasn't passing up that opportunity...my son stayedat his dad's for 6 days and my boyfriend and I were busy moving everything from one room to another and back again so they could do the floors and I had no kitchen counters for 2 weeks and no hot water in the kitchen that entire time either. I made a makeshift counter anc got used to boiling water to do dishes. Then they came to install the new countertop and realized somebody goofed on the measurements so then i ended up with no water at all for a couple more days. Oh well. It was worth it. I need to ask them now if I'm the one responsible for painting my place since I've been here so long and I'm still staying but it needs to be done big time. And i don't suppose you have a video showing how to fix hollow core doors eh? Lol. My son had quite the emotional outbursts for a couple years and I've got 8 good sized holes altogether between the 2 bedroom doors that he's kicked or punched. And obviously those I know I'm responsible for fixing or paying someone to do the repairs. After watching a few videos so far I'm almost thinking it woukd be cheaper to buy 2 new doors lmao
What an amazing story of how your place has so much history. As for the doors I don’t have any videos on how to repair them but if you do plan to stay a long time I would make the investment to get solid doors, just my opinion though.
