I would think part of this relates to whether charging passed through the current shunt block or not (Coulomb counting is really the only way you can track charge/discharge of a non-rested battery), and whether the telemetry data from that shunt is tracked/recorded in engine-off, key-removed...

That's the tidbit that wasn't covered in the original articles. Thanks! :-)

OP on that thread. They subtracted a gear that would have been 3a in the sequence (assuming we kept the same gear-numbers as currently quoted in the 8F35). I too wish they'd done a crawler-ratio for 1 , kept it nominally a 9 speed (or call it a 8+C), and had road operations just run 2 . 3 . 3a...

(as noted elsewhere) Those are `Doggles`, which are specifically designed for dogs, with actual safety-rated lenses. :)

Looks like a (MIM Construction AB) MIM Safe Vario-Gate? https://mimvariocage.com/mim-safe-variogate/

Engine covers for 1.5l models, screw-in rear recovery loop, rear hatch release button panel, all the things that mysteriously disappeared during build history. Look carefully and you'll find spots for "left socks from clothes dryer" too. :-)

Depends on the specific Loctite (or other threadlocker) formulation used. Common three are purple (low), blue (medium), and red (high). Other specialty formulations exist. They vary from "gentle retention with thread-gap fill" to "good luck, never gonna get this fastener loose without a...

Amazon ASIN B08R652HHX -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R652HHX Purchased, but not yet installed. Still sporting my safety-stripe factory cover. :-P

Out of curiosity, how much stopped-idling and stop-and-go traffic do you end up experiencing? I'm guessing "very little". For my own BS (BL+BL/2.0l), mileage has varied from 25 MPG on a nearly highway no-traffic only tank, down to 14 MPG for inner-city driving and hours of parked idling.

Clarification: The SUPER ideal way would be for Ford to just publish the location of the "pre-wire" circuits in the Bronco Sport (C430/Cx430 platform), and their intended use-cases, such as the roof light-bar circuit. But, let's pretend we're still in the real world, and that there is no...

The ideal way to do this is analysis of the shop manual, wiring diagrams, and theory-of-operation narratives. Not having any of those (I don't either), you're in the gamble department, hoping all of the post-shutdown delay circuits are also powered-off, in order to confirm that you'll have...

`Sport` doesn't outright lock-out higher gears (specifically 8F35 7th and 8th), but the shift-in / shift-out points for most gears are raised high-enough that rural roads (50 MPH / 55 MPH plated) might not see 8th gear engaged.

Correct. Prepare for system reboot. :-/ There are some critical circuits that remain live, but anything listed as being served via a fuse on that removable backplane/midplane is disconnected during this process.

While you might not believe it, Michael (OP) specifically stated that it was an 87 Octane gasoline with 10% Ethanol, which means net-energy per kg will be lower compared to a non-ethanol-diluted gasoline, yielding reduced miles-travelled per gallon consumed (useful "work" per kg of fuel...

Done it once. It's super fiddly, and leaves you feeling like you're going to break something even though it's quite elegantly designed. The design is an outer pair of high wire-count bulkhead connectors, a "floating" fuse/bulkhead backplane (the thing marked `SCRAP IF DROPPED`), and then the...

Only got a ride in one, once, sometime in the dot.com boom era. Track-prepped. Fairly certain we peaked 120 MPH on a straightaway. :-d

I see a Fox chassis in the corner of the picture too :-)

It's literally a through-hole control. One barrel, a tang off each side.

Resurrecting an old thread here… In the "parked" position, the rear-glass wiper is supposed to be horizontal (9 o'clock position if facing towards the front, behind the vehicle). It relies on engagement dogs between the on-glass mechanism (the arm) and the on-tailgate mechanism (motor-driver)...
