I think lots of short drives with auto start/stop can drain the battery. With a new battery these warning from the ford app about preserving battery and disabling features went away. The other warnings i mentioned on the dash about awd stuff were all a ground issue at the AWD module

So what did the problem or resolution end uo being? My 2020 is doing this now. Is it normal? My wife and I never noticed it before recently. Also only in sport mode. Car still behaves fine

I’m sure that would probably work, if you do it please let us know if that solves your issues

I agree with Oneill, I did try looking for a different ground point but nothing else seemed as permanent or reliable. I found that ground point because the original TSB from ford uses that ground point. It might be more work to find a ground at the fuse box under the left side of steering wheel...

Golden is a nice place to visit and the coors factory is there. I’m about 30 minutes from there. You have a good weekend as well!

Awesome glad to hear it! Also.. snow tires, snow melt on the ground, COORS, are we colorado buddies?

You might try just tightening the bolts on the module or backing them off and tiretightening them a few times and see if that’s good for a while before you can make time to do a better fix

It’s attached in my post you can find from my profile. But here is the link https://www.explorerst.org/attachments/ford-tsb-23-2061-pdf.31859/ And here is my thread for the troubleshooting and fix. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/guide-fixing-awd-module-ground.9634/#post-122627

After filling, I lowered the car on the hydraulic jack and turned the car in “trail” mode so i could see the angle from front to back and left to right. I think i got them to 0 and 1 degrees as best i could and let the diff drain before lifting it back up to cap it and clean up. I think I put...

thank you so much for making the account and letting me know I helped you out. If i just help 1 person then it’s all worth it for me to document and share. So glad i could help!

It was my first time ever doing trans fluid so i was extra cautious, i think like 4 hours. Next time will probably take me 2. you’ll need a way to torque to inch-lbs. i had a 1/4” drive inch pound torque wrench but realized i didnt have a 1/4” extension for half the bolts after i was...

I'm using valvoline synthetic 75w90. I promise it's better than the magnetic mud that's going to come out of your diff.

I was under the impression that if you reset BMS you don’t need to wait at all to drive. But if you replace the battery, and you let the car sit for 8 hours it will automatically reset the BMS for you. could be wrong but i’m pretty sure of that. The engine issues are not related to the battery...

My gosh.. how does this happen? How does that get past quality control? Ridiculous. A lot of these technicians are really good, but the flat rate for warranty repairs often leave them underpaid for the hours they put in. Be sure to look over all your hoses and clips and trim pieces and make sure...

Very possible that’s your ground going out. unfortunately there are a lot of common issues that cause the same warnings on the dash. I’ve read about speed sensors and abs sensors causing these issues. As well as FADA failures causing it. It really needs some more digging into your codes and...
