Another Question

[Daytona Explorer]

When I start my 2025 ST-Line the Sirius radio comes on regardless if it was previously off or on.
How can I disable that ?

And.......
I have water dripping from behind the right rear wheel, not where the a/c condensation is. What is that from?

Do you know what SYNC version you have? The newest is 23188 and solved a number of issues. As for the water, do you have a moon roof? If so you could have a plugged drain.

Thanks for the reply.
As for the Synk version, the car was just delivered. 12-miles on It.

Yes it has a moon roof but it has never been in the rain.

I missed the year of your Explorer so dismiss my comment about the SYNC version. As for the water, could it have been in some rain before it was delivered to you? One other thing the water could be coming from the muffler. That is just a thought.

Water is coming from behind the wheel well liner.

Then I would take it back to your dealer to check for the leak. It either was in the rain or from being washed.

Welcome to the Forum.
Does the radio come ON with Sirius regardless of which station (non-Sirius) it was tuned to when you shut the vehicle OFF? Does it come ON with the same Sirius channel?
Regardless that the vehicle is new, check the Sync version to ensure it is what Dale mentioned it should be. I'm not aware of a newer version.
Is the water drip always there or could it be from condensation from overnight parking if you don't use a garage?

The water dripping is caused by the material used in lining the wheel wells that absorbe water.

As the the music coming on, that is a standard Ford feature/irritant called Autoplay. So far I have been unable to turn it off and I haven't found anyone who has.

That wheel well-lining material must be something new. I haven't seen any posts before regarding the water dripping from them. Curious as to why it's dripping from only one place since you mentioned the vehicle hasn't been in the rain.
I searched the 2025 manual for the words "autoplay" and "auto play" and came up with zero results.

I doubt it is a wheel well lining issue. I live in So. CA, it hasn't rained here in a long time. Frequently I get water dripping from the right rear wheel well area onto my garage floor. There is likely something that creates condensation in that area. I originally thought it was condensation dripping from the exhaust output, but in my case I have noticed this happens after a drive when exhaust condensation shouldn't be an issue.

I agree it's not condensation from the exhaust. I know what that is and you simply have to look to see it is not coming from the exhaust.
