I've had a couple of unplanned rainstorms in the last couple of months. And I typically wash my car every couple weeks because it's my daily. So at this point, if it were going to leak, it would have happened already.
I've never noticed a leak or have had wet carpet. I suppose I should pull the...
I didn't know about the door sills. That's ridiculous. I guess they are really trying their best to sell more 401A premium cars. Assuming the 401A still has those...
Part of me is waiting for 6 months to a year from now, so Ford can issue a new recall saying this one didn't work, and a class action lawsuit gets filed.
It's easy -
"Remote services disconnected" is bad and means low battery.
"Sleep/saver mode" is NORMAL and means the car is doing its normal routine.
Got it?
Yep. You can't park cars and not drive em much without a tender/maintainer. It's hell on the battery, especially in a modern car.
The factory spec is VERY conservative by track standards
I ran -1.7 camber on my Mach 1 with no wear issues. It's a common myth that kind of camber causes wear issues in the street. I was told you need to be over -2 camber and really throwing it around before uneven wear starts.
And yes, more...
Thank you. The sleep mode/saver timer is obviously a lot longer that a few days like I thought. I seem to remember someone saying 10 days after reading your post. But maybe it's 2 weeks.
Remote services disconnected means the battery is in a low state of charge. It's not the same as sleep mode.
Storing the car for long periods and occasionally taking it out to get groceries isn't enough to maintain the battery. But you already know that since your looking into a battery tender. 👍🏻
The car goes into sleep/saver mode regardless of the charge after a certian amount if time if it sits long enough. I think it 48 or 72 hours, not sure. Someone can correct me on that.
Man lots of battery questions lately. Maybe we need a sticky?
Just make sure the maintainer/charger is rated for AGM batteries. It should say on it.
As for when to charge, it doesn't matter. The car will function fine either way. That said I'd do it the night before so it has a chance to learn...
