Ah, I think I follow. The logic is kinda reversed. The Unfair and Deceptive Practices Act enforced by the FTC is designed to protect consumers. The Repair Act covers more than just consumers. It provides a scope of coverage for the non-OEM market that includes parts and independent shops. It...
I apologize up front; I'm not sure what this question is asking. If the question is how HR 1566 / HR 7389 will be enforced against manufacturers, the bill refers to enforcement actions the FTC will take (which could include redress of the complainant's concern and additional proscriptions the...
I applaud the effort to establish a "right" to fix or have fixed my own vehicle (which one already has the right to do at some risk for warrantied cars). However, some of this effort feels like a bit of a nothing burger (so far).
Politics aside, the "memo" does a poor job of conflating two...
I guessed at what was causing the squeak, placed a piece of cardboard behind the clutch lever, and shot a touch of dry lube on top and bottom of the perch. Odd, because as you can see, there's quite a bit of grease on there already. What I can't attest to is whether I inadvertently sprayed a bit...
Second diagnosis by @Shadowblackbeast. However, my solution was conceptually but not procedurally the same. That exact squeak emerged about a week after I picked up my 2026 DH. Having done one clutch spring replacement (on an S550), I didn't really want to risk/repeat the torture. IDK, maybe the...
Yeh, I usually do the same. I have a collection of actual lojacks in a box somewhere. This particular unit seems to be more deeply integrated into the car. I haven't yet taken a look to see how it's wired in, but the dealer is likely going to remove it as a courtesy--given that I own the car and...
LoL, I already tried removing the GPS module and my dash lit up with warning icons (e.g., hood open). So, I'm guessing I can't just pull out the pigtail (which is what I was initially going to try).
The indicator light (also has a button that I guess is the on/off switch) is located under the driver's side footwell (lower right side). The wire connected to it runs behind the center dash (area for the USB cubbie) which runs into the module (mine was zip tied to some cabling behind the glove...
Found the ubiquitous GPS/repo tracker in my DH. Before starting a new thread, I thought I would revisit this one to see if anyone knows how to remove this device. I'm the title holder for my DH. I'm waiting to hear back from the dealership to see if they will remove it for me...but, I've no...
Ok, well, I can't help myself. The pipe is brilliant. It produces the deeper growl of an H-pipe and the snappy flare of an X-pipe. Very close to what you've sampled from Dave2013M3 A/V captures of his GT. I will do some recording in the coming days. But I can report no drone, a bit more robust...
I couldn't help myself. Borla's new Switchfire pipe arrived today. Going in tomorrow. I don't have the equipment to capture decent A/V but will try so you don't have to rely on my impression.
Added the pics below...apologize for the poor quality, but the trunk light and a handheld are all the...
We went with this bed from Amazon: https://a.co/d/4nujTNF
Our Corgi died before we got to road trip with her using this set up. And, we sold the Mustang (our 6th). Now we're driving something else and have a new rescue in the family (bought the same dog seat for her but rarely use it except on...
Thanks to @roadpilot for alerting me to the behavior of the Ford Mothership.
Just as an academic exercise, I pulled down my ABD just this morning and bumped it up against my first set of values I download (19 July 24) when I start making minor FORScan edits. Sure enough, within as little as 36...
Add: radio station channel settings and Android disconnects (on one occasion, my phone was removed from the system).
Happens inconsistently and infrequently, e.g., after random stops (gas stations, grocery, etc) and every once in a while after sitting overnight in my garage). It has happened...
I finalized WAL/WALF on ~31 July. I had to reedit all relevant addresses save 7D0-09-05--the "C" value in the second group of the address remained resident.
I finalized Approach Lighting on ~31 Jul--all relevant addresses values remained resident.
I disabled Auto Relock on 3 Aug--that setting...
Just a note, but the latest update (24-PU0201-DGB-FX) reset my walk away lock function (and horn chirp) back to the as-built-data defaults. However, my approach lighting edits remained as did turning off auto relock.
I asked the guys at EMP the same question before committing to the delete. They suggested and I can confirm there is no discernable increase in NVH. Even when I drove around w/o the rear section installed, I couldn't detect any measurable increase in noise (exhaust, drone, road, etc). Based on...
