It’s a detailed manual for sure but some aspects are not logically laid out. Within the manual, I still can’t find that trick of turning on the ignition (before starting) to get the main menus, or the fact there are two different menu suites. Regardless I thank the forum for finding my answer!

Well yes but the key fact is to be in the full idc menu. This is only entered by pushing the start button without touching the brake. The menus after engine start do not contain the oil reset and other goodies.

Wow. Realized my problem. I didn’t know you could turn the ignition on without starting the engine by pressing the start button without touching the brake. Kind of obvious now. Once I did that the full menu appeared. Thank you. I’m not mad at ford again.?

I tried that once before but never found a menu that way. Never had a detailed vid through. I’ll go try again now! Thanks.

As shown in my video above, my idc does not have such an option.

All I got

Not on my menu and probably a lot of others too. They just don’t know it yet.

Mine definitely doesn’t. The you tube commentator stated there was an update for the ipc that removed it.

After 8000km and 6 months I was getting the oil change request alarm. So I dutifully got it done (mr lube - wasn’t cheap but they were all curious about the car). Now I cannot reset the alarm. There is no menu item. On a you tube video one commenter stated that it is a secret sequence that can...

It was as simple as “give me your cheapest non-steelies that fit this car”. Luck of the draw. Kaltire has an exclusive on Hakkas in Ontario (maybe Canada?) and they sell rtx wheels. https://rtxwheels.com/products/rtx-mini-baja-satin-black

In the past I had 4 or 5 consecutive ford rangers, usually manual 4wds. They were great little trucks except in the winter (Ontario). I usually loaded up the bed with salt or sand bags to weigh down the rear. It helped but still useless. Then I married a Finn. She insisted on Hakkapeliitta‘s...

An interesting side note. Not sure if it’s discussed elsewhere on this thread but after deciding to not add tpms and live with an alarm, there is no alarm. I guess it only goes on with tpms and low.

I’m starting to lean that way too….

That’s funny because I wish you had my snow…..

Today I put on my winter tires. For summer, I have nice stock Big Bend rims(225/60R18) with Michelins. For winter, I was going to use steelies but instead bought the cheapest rims my supplier had, RTX mini Baja. I went with my winter tires of choice Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV. For ease of purchase I...
