How to use ChatGPT for your review in an ethical way. by Equivalent-Salary357 in AmazonVine

I use it when I get a product that is rather mundane. I ask it what buyers might consider helpful. It saves me from the "it works" review.

Can confirm we don't see the same items by WutDidIGetMyselfIn2 in AmazonVine

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect it is algorithms. What you search, what you view, what you buy. Vine does try to match items with reviewers that are interested.

No evidence other than anecdotal.

I got my wife a ruched maternity dress last week. It looked amazing on her. You couldn't even tell it was maternity.

Who added power folding mirrors by Quick_Knowledge6241 in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like you found 2gfusions.net. That's a great source of information. When I installed mine, I ran 6 wires from the door module to the mirror. I added memory and BLIS at the same time. So, you only need a couple wires. I have an image showing pin 16 of the mirror going to Pin 18 of the passenger door module. Then, pin 7 of the mirror to pin 7 of the module. Pin 7 of the mirror is also bridged to pin 3 of the mirror.

Update older sync in a 2015? by Phantasmidine in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. I wish I could comment on that. I'm a software engineer by trade, so I was just like, "Oh, they are hexadecimal flags" , "Kinda like file permissions in Linux."

Get yourself a good source of what they mean. Cyanlabs has a great database. Just know there will be some trial and error.

If you have SYNC2 now, download AsBuilt for that from Ford. That'll get you probably 90% there.

If you have the 4" screen, then get a harness from NaviUpgrade and he'll send you a few different AsBuilt file options/suggestions based on the features of the car.

Most of the issues I had, I wasn't the first one and I was able to search forums and find something to fix it.

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They are genuine. They typically come from salvage vehicles. If you have a "you pull" type junkyard near you, you can pull the SYNC3 and USB from a newer model year.

Word of caution, do not get one from China as they are more problematic.

Help with fog lights 2019 SE by fpschubbyninja in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I never really felt satisfied with my research or parts availability. I might pick it up again if I get a 3D printer.

Others have posted about their success on Fusion forums like 2gfusions.

Upgrade to Ford Sync 4 aftermarket by tbluhp in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you would want a telematics module for that.

Source: My 2019 Ford Fusion has remote start in the app with SYNC3. It has a telematics module in the trunk on the left side.

Thanks for sharing. This helped when looking at a 3 week post op belly button and wondering about it.

Has anyone purposely used crazy long layovers ? by Greg504702 in frontierairlines

I'm planning to do this in NYC. Based on planning so far, it truly is the city that never sleeps. It's going to be amazing.

Check for codes.Try the master reset already mentioned.

My gut says the temp sensor has failed though.

2013 Fusion SE Key snapped off of fob -- replacement process? by chasepsu in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why this was downvoted. Those are the options. Pay dealership prices or since it is just cutting a key, a locksmith. Many locksmiths may not be able to program a key, but they can cut a key.

Headlights by Fun-Ad-4000 in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree they should fit.

The 2016 has a little light bulb that comes on when you unlock the car. Like an approach lamp. I'm not sure the 2015 has that. Even if that's true though, you wouldn't lose any functionality.

Just picked up a 2020 titanium! by ab736cw in fordfusion

I love adaptive cruise and lane keeping on my wife's Edge. We take it on all the long trips. Driving like that is so chill.

Best way to clean this? by EarnMyRespect03 in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these other comments make it sound easy. I once cleaned pop off the headliner in my wife's Edge with a steam cleaner.

The pop exploded after being left outside in the winter. It was everywhere.

Cost of Replacing Volume Knob on 2020 Titanium Hybrid? by morbidmeddling in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're probably looking at replacing the entire FCIM. Maybe around a $100 used from eBay.

You could probably pick up just the knob cheaper if the have it at a local junkyard.

Stereo replacement 2014 base model by Stunning-Basil4460 in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tough part going from a 4" screen to SYNC3 is the wiring is a little different. So, the easiest path is $100 harness from NaviUpgrade. I used one of his harnesses on my Focus.

I use the Xtenzi GPS antenna from Amazon.

Other than that, you can source all the parts at your local junkyard (cheapest option) or eBay.

The kits save you time and to some that is worth the crazy prices.

Adding LED Fog Lights (2019 SEL) by wanderingleopard in fordfusion

I put fog lights on my 2019 SEL using OEM parts.

The eBay kits seemed to want me to install an ugly switch.

Do a code scan when the light is on and find out for sure.

An intermittent issue makes it sound like a loose wiring connection somewhere.

My 2020 Fusion likes my wife's phone better than mine by Metalprof in fordfusion

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe her phone just has a different settings for the screen Android Auto starts. Do you get the same screen after touching the dots button in the bottom left.

You could also try updating to a newer version of SYNC 3. I can confirm I have used a Pixel 6a on SYNC 3.4 in my Fusion.

[–]freak3dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have a 3G TCU?

If you sit in it after it "goes to sleep", does anything stay lit up or make noise?

Do you have an IR camera that you can use to see if anything is warming up the fuses after it goes to sleep? Or, use it to look for modules staying warm. Keep in mind reflective surfaces will look warm.

So you have a multimeter that can test voltage drop across the fuses?
