yup. I managed to repair a seal to a headlight. Had one tail light with condensation. Replaced that out of pocket. Ford quality is definitely an issue and has been reported extensively in the media. They are spending a fortune on recall and warranty repairs.

Just a word of caution for others. MY2020+ cannot update maps using the Cyanlabs Sync3Updater. It will alert you to this but if you bypass the warning and proceed, you will brick your APIM.

All the tunes will get you what the ST gains from them. If you want to play it safe, get the Ford Performance Tune. I'm sure you can get a custom tune and request the stock level calibration for an ST but that's kind of a waste.

For some reason, I was thinking we had 5 years of free updates but I guess not. I've always used a map app on carplay anyways so no big loss. I've only been keeping up with the maps just in case I should be somewhere with no cell service.

Read post #55 carefully and look at the pic. a flashlight on the light sensor. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/interceptor-amber-drls-on-explorer-st.1559/page-3#post-69157

Well that sucks. I'd put in a NHTSA complaint about it. They have other catalytic converter recalls on file so it must fall under their jurisdiction.

It may be a long shot but Id give Ford customer service line a call and explain that, despite having a lot of miles, your explorer is only 4 years old! The same manufacturing flaws that plague the left cat also happens on the right...just maybe not as often. Ford has replaced these on MY2020 in...

At least for my MY2020, the TSB on deep sleep involved reflashing a few of the modules and that solved the problem. I also have Auto start/stop deactivated (via tune), and turn off all feedback to ford, wifi connection, software autoupdate, etc. You should also try to have one of the those...

I should add that MY2020 has a TSB for frequent deep sleeps. Involves flashing the firmware for several modules. I'm assuming it is eliminating parasitic drains with the car off.

Cyanlabs already has found v. 23188 on Ford Servers which fixes the problem. Time will tell if this is the version that will get officially released. Cyanlabs will release a new version just a few weeks ahead of official release in most cases.

Did you do a master reset after update. Definitely recommended, and then just redo all your settings.

Cyanlabs find these new versions on Ford servers weeks to months before official release. In many cases though, there is a bug in them and they never get officially released, as seems to be the case with 23088. For most, waiting is the best option. Especially if on 22251 with full rwdata...

Best part? Sounds like rwdata full memory is fixed: Fixed SLOGS compression and purge

Curious what build is on that new APIM. $100 is not bad for the latest hardware/firmware. Hopefully not the latest Sync, lol.

The benefit I can see with a new APIM is that it will be newer hardware, likely running the newest firmware. Who knows? Maybe it's the older APIMs that are running into trouble. For MY2020 owners, I know there's at least one firmware update out there. Seems like many of us with problems...

So under b2b warranty? Extended warranty? What did they say it would cost you? The probably for Ford is their standard method for downloading a USB for upgrading Sync is NOT going to work. There is not enough memory for a standard upgrade. This would presumably include the wifi download...

Sharapov, your problem is not the speed sensor. The car drives fine when the speed sensor is faulty--you just don't get the features. I would think the hub actuator bulletin that you posted might be a good place to start. When is your build date? At some point the deleted the electrical port...

Just wanted to give anyone looking for ST tail lights a heads up. ST tail lights (as well as ST line and Timberline) are dark tinted on the sides. They are harder to find on EBAY. Finally, saw this listing for two brand new ST tail lights that are priced for what a single used one costs...

I probably drive 80% highway too and bought pads for when the stock street pack wear out--that was about 20k miles ago. Still going strong at 69k miles!
