What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

[Meanderthal]

see here i did have Volvo XC 90 today in oil change . Volvo did put the box in same position

I think the point of questioning putting it in the engine compartment, is not that it isn’t done. I believe that a lot of ECU’s are placed in the engine compartment by the OEM’s. Of course they have tested the electronics in that position through all vehicle testing. Since you have moved the ECU from the stock location, it is now in a hotter spot and vibrating in different directions.

That is not to say what you have done will cause a failure, just that the ECU was not tested to work in those conditions and in that position. What seems like an inconsequential change on your part, might not turn out to be so inconsequential.

Well, actually yesterday. Had the Steeda rear sway bar installed, using their recommendation & starting with the center set of holes. Again, you might say it’s my imagination, but my butt feels just a little more firmly planted. ??

One of the things that bugged me a bit was that Ford chose to equip my Badlands with LED lighting everywhere BUT the taillight turn signals, brake lights, and backup lights. So today I took care of that and changed out the bulbs with LEDs:

For those are interested, the LED Bulb types you'll need are as follows:

Turn - 921 Amber
Brake - 3157 Red
Backup - 7443 White

Installation was a snap. Changing out the bulbs is well documented in the owner's manual but all you need is a 10mm nut driver or socket wrench. Always be careful when working the housing tabs off of the studs (you REALLY don't want to break one of those) but the whole change-out took me less than 15 minutes.

I used bulbs from Diode Dynamics (www.diodedynamics.com) as they are an American based company and the quality of their products as well as customer support are outstanding (3 year warranty, but I've had them in my Fiesta ST for nearly 6 years now without a failure). But for those on a budget there are admittedly less expensive options out there.

While it's hard to see in the daylight pic, the backup LEDs are probably the biggest improvement in the cars I've put them in, with a noticeably brighter and whiter light than stock.

Awesome I did not want to take it apart to find out the size only. Now that I see this, I'm ordering my bulbs! You should really snap a nighttime photo! Thank you kindly!

It appears you have the option to tighten your rear even more.

Yeah I do. Or, could even loosen it up a bit! ??

The bane of the first world, options.

Not bad at all! Took 30 mins. Requires small hands or a lot of patience…. I have patience. Solid feel and look. I’m very satisfied with the overall quality ?

I washed it (her). I noticed that the brake calipers are painted in a bright silver. I cleaned the visable portions with a sponge thru the wheels (2023 BB 17" stock tires/rims). They look great. Paint or powder coat looks new (got it in Sept 23). Hope it stays this way. Really impressed. When the sun hits 'em they look super bright.
