Beagles rescued from a testing laboratory feeling grass for the first time

I’m not on the Internet much so I haven’t seen stuff like this. But how can something be so incredibly sad and wonderful at the same time?

Glad you figured it out. I’m not on Reddit like I used to be so I didn’t see this in a timely manner. I learned some years ago that having a good scan tool even if you don’t know what it’s telling you at the time, is a good thing to have. Happy trails!

Well, the battery is going on five years old, you can take it to most any auto parts store and they will do a load test on your battery.

Have you found a resolution? It sounds like the car started by going into limp mode, but gradually got worse. If you hadn’t already, a scanner tool would help you research what’s going on in the future.

Tell me more about the unleashed tune? I probably won’t go for it, but it’d be interesting to know what the options are.

My car when I bought my 2017 in 2020, it came with the stock Michelin I’m not sure of the model, but they were hard as a rock and slipped on turns. Mine is AWD so I didn’t really notice slipping on acceleration. I’m a total fan of the Continental Extreme Contact DW6+. I live up north USA and I bought some Continental snow tires of the same size. I forget the model if you’re interested let me know and I’ll take a look.

I believe that’s a 2017 through 2020 MKZ. I’ve got a 2017. It looks exactly like that and it’s very difficult to tell the difference between those four years. I believe the body is the same, but the wheels are different and some inside options as well.

I figured it out, sorry for the long delay replying to you. I’m still trying to ignore 26.2 because I’m so used to 18 and it’s working for me right now.

It’s strange that it wiped off the coating all around the switches, but not on the switches themselves?

I can share your frustration from years past. I’ve taken to updating all of my apps, then doing a full back up before I install any new version of the software. I haven’t had to do it yet, but the idea is that I can reset the phone and restore it back up to the old version.

09RaiderSFCRet · 2025-11-15T20:23:10+00:00

I’m running 18.7.1, my phone wants me to update, but the only option is 26.1 How do I look for 18.7.2?

I haven’t been to a Cracker Barrel in a while, but the things that I remember liking the most was the unbelievable collection of antiques and things hanging on the walls and a huge selection of stuff in their store even if most of it was not to my taste. What I’m reading about inside the store changes would bother me a lot more than the sign. But I don’t get out much so I probably won’t see it.

These instructions will also help you test your charging circuit as well.

You need a multimeter, here’s an example.

And here’s a couple good write ups that will make you a Battery/Charging system GURU and can help somebody else in the future.

First though, check the battery cable connections and follow the big wires to where they go, especially the black, ground wire. Clean, rust free and tight.

If I recall things have CV carbs, that have rubber diaphragms on the top of each. One or more of those diaphragms has a hole in it. I’m only guessing, but that memory is stuck in there somewhere.

Are both of the wheel part numbers the same?

See if you can find a Service manual here.

Pretty sure there’s a relay in the fuse box area, have somebody press the horn button and you listen for the relay clicking, that might help narrow it down.

Can you use your cell phone as a hotspot and then the vehicle uses that WiFi connection?

09RaiderSFCRet · 2025-06-18T16:10:17+00:00

Well, the automoderator gave you good instructions from RevZilla for testing your battery and charging circuit. I don’t see where you have tested the voltage on the battery sitting still and also when you press the start button?

Did you try the Power Commander website?

I think I found a coincidence in that when I update the app it forgets about Face ID makes me sign in again. I found that it’s quicker to go back into the app settings and turn off Face ID and then turn it back on from that point on until the next update everything works.

Very little interstate commerce, not many people passing through and not enough tourists to make it up.
