    Concerning Issues With 2013 Explorer Limited 4WD

    All Thanks for the replies and help as always. I wanted to post a quick update. After the Ex was towed yesterday to the dealer, they jumped on it straight away which was fantastic to hear. I shared all the info I had seen along with what i had attempted (trickle charge overnight that didn't do...

    Concerning Issues With 2013 Explorer Limited 4WD

    Thanks all. I have another question, if the dealer does state its battery and will swap out under warranty 1) do we know what they are putting in the unit as standard (something like the cheapest BXL-59 on fordparts) or better and 2) is it worth getting them to upgrade over the standard to...

    Concerning Issues With 2013 Explorer Limited 4WD

    All, so would the battery be covered under warranty as this is the original and never been replaced ?

    Concerning Issues With 2013 Explorer Limited 4WD

    Thanks all, yep as I mentioned I wanted to be sure so have the tow and appointment set for tomorrow and will report back on what is found. From what I read on other threads, the battery IS covered by warranty ? This vehicle only has about 25k on it and have had it from new. Thanks again

    Concerning Issues With 2013 Explorer Limited 4WD

    All, quick update here. I finally got the Ex to start on a 2nd or 3rd jump and with a little bit of gas peddle. I then drove the vehicle for about 30-35 minutes. Came back, turned the car off, tried to turn it on about 30 seconds later, completely dead. So would appear it gained nothing from...

    Concerning Issues With 2013 Explorer Limited 4WD

    All Jumped in the EX yesterday and tried to start it, got the click click click click sound (as in like a completely dead battery) then a whole host of warnings and failure lights (hill descent control failure, check system brake etc amongst others). Thinking this could be battery related I...

    Rear Camera - No Guidelines Show

    Turns out mine is a dead camera according to Ford. Shows the video but cannot zoom, no trajectory lines etc, now waiting for a replacement. Why they couldn't have tested the camera the first time (as they installed it at that appointment) is beyond me and caused a lot of issues due to the drive...

    Help With Rusting Chrome/Plastic Explorer Name Above Liftgate Button On Limited

    All Just wanted to provide an update. Took to the dealer and they stated if it wasn't a digital image type replacement (where Ford has images taken and sent to them for approval of work) then it would probably not be covered. Luckily this area did not fall under that so the work was completed...

    Can you download old updates ?

    All I took my 2013 Exp LTD in for camera work and comes back today with no active lines or trajectory at all. Zoom also does not work now. When I checked the SW about screen its showing 3.48.9 which if that relates to MFT I know I updated to 3.6.2 when out so wonder if they put an older SW...

    Help With Rusting Chrome/Plastic Explorer Name Above Liftgate Button On Limited

    Peter Thanks for your reply. That was my first stop (by phone at least) and one dealer stated $294 for Shield & Cross member and used my VIN to tell me that was all I needed but the other even with the VIN told me the $700 which included the camera. I think we would all agree that if these...

    Help With Rusting Chrome/Plastic Explorer Name Above Liftgate Button On Limited

    I am being told 2 different things on this, 1 that the cross member and shield can be purchased for around $290 without camera but that would fit it and someone else telling me I would have to spend close to $700 with camera. I don't need the camera as I already have one that is working...

    Help With Rusting Chrome/Plastic Explorer Name Above Liftgate Button On Limited

    Mud Flaps / Splash Guards / DIY Pics

    What did you use on the side for the fronts (the holes were the nylon fixers were before) at the part where it attaches to the side of the existing plastic trim and has a screw track rather than hole ? I couldn't find anything long enough at parts stores that would fit so I used a screw in...

    Mine doesn't seem to have that bad a gap but like I said I cannot figure out step 7 on the instructions and which screw I am meant to use their as the depth of the screw track/hole is not deep enough.

    All I installed the flaps and look good. Had some minor issues and a question. Issues first. On the rears the instructions show the 3 items to remove from the existing lining as screws with a screwdriver but 2 are actually nuts, minor gripe aside the middle screw to remove on the rears is...
