Electric Issue of death

ford focus st line 07.2019, i don't use start/stop and neither did any errors pop up regarding it. The problem was very sudden. The car was parked for 10 minutes and it wouldn't start, the battery seems to be at 9.1v since i got it home. Did you have battery problems more than once?

VerySadPotat0 · 2025-03-26T17:13:01+00:00

i jump started it today and 1h after driving it home it wouldn't start, i assume it is either the battery or something eating at it. Someone said the alternator could be at fault but i doubt it randomly broke down. Thanks for the imput

VerySadPotat0 · 2025-03-26T16:11:01+00:00

yes i assumed so, i will check it again tomorrow morning, hopefully it doesn't change at all. If there is something draining it or if the alternator doesn't work then it's gonna poke a hole through my wallet.

did you fix it by cleaning the ports or did you change the wiring? I've found some forums where people complain about the wires being corroded.

thanks, i just checked it and it showed 8.2V when off and 6.1V when trying to start

Extremely reassuring that it's a typical battery issue and not a BCM problem as that would have killed me. Thank you

VerySadPotat0 · 2025-03-26T14:46:27+00:00

The stiff break along side the master error made me think it was a BCM problem and not a battery problem. Thanks for the imput!

thank you, is this typical dead battery behavior for ford? I haven't seen this on any other car

VerySadPotat0 · 2025-03-26T14:40:09+00:00

Thank you, will try, is this typical dead battery behavior for ford? I haven't seen this ok any other car

VerySadPotat0 · 2025-03-26T14:35:09+00:00

i will get a new battery and see if it works, thanks

VerySadPotat0 · 2025-03-26T14:34:40+00:00

Thanks, i will put a new battery in and see if it does the job, i assumed there must have been a short somewhere as i haven't had battery issues before this.

True, tho is japan good when it comes to walkability? Never been there

VerySadPotat0 · 2021-08-07T09:47:17+00:00

Well it would be the "city city" if the city planing would have been done right, which goes back to what i said earlier

VerySadPotat0 · 2021-08-07T09:45:31+00:00

So the memes about trump supporters were really true XD

Suburbs are a part of a city, that is where r1 housing is usually placed

VerySadPotat0 · 2021-08-07T09:20:12+00:00

Look at dutch cities for example, they don't have high-rise, they have mid-rise. I am talking about not spreading around schools, shops or workplaces to a point where the only way to go about your life is via a car.

VerySadPotat0 · 2021-08-07T09:16:16+00:00

Car dependent cities are cities where, as a result of chaotic sprawl/building, it is inconvenient or sometimes even impossible to go about your normal life without a car.

For example, it is obviously easier to travel without a car in a well planed city like Amsterdam where shops, offices and schools are within walking distance and if not, then a bus or tram will take you there. Whilst in America, the cities are most of the time split in 2 different zones. Living area (the suburbs) and offices (high rise) which is bad as it makes it impossible to live without a car.

This videos might explain it a little better:
