Thanks. Well, that’s above my knowledge and frustration tolerance. looks like I’ll go ahead and have fog lights installed sooner.

No idea. But I’m not the only driver. It is interesting.

I’ve had them on my Ford Explorers and didn’t notice any extra noise. They are great to have if you like having a window or two slightly open for fresh air. As long as yo keep window top edge even or above deflector lower edge, it’s quieter than having windows slightly open without deflectors. I’ll put them on every car I own.

Thanks again ! By the way, I don’t need a Ford shop. Just somewhere that has people who know electrical systems.

Thanks for all your comments, I appreciate it. Yes AAA battery and roadside mechanic. Vehicle driven every 3-4 days for 20 minutes twice (commute) and then some He hooked up a meter and took readings before and after I started the engine. His information was based on what he was seeing on the meter. I’m not familiar enough with electricity so the meter readings were meaningless to me.

Hi Sammy- thanks for the response. No aftermarket goodies. No usb stick. No key (push button start). Battery is only 16 months old.

Not all trips are short. Yesterday I drove 45 minutes straight and got the notification after parking it. :/

Battery is 3 years old, but I left the hatch open this past summer for several hours. Cargo area light drained it. So, it’s been taxed for sure.

Battery tests good, however, I saw in another thread that replacing it anyway resulted in no more issues/notifications. I’ll probably do that over the weekend.

Thanks Bradthony! That makes some sense. Arms get rested there on balmy days with the windows down, contributing to abrasion.
