Hello again. I’ve posted before about the issues I’m having with the RCS warning alerts going off in my 2010 Explorer. Here is a list of everything that’s been done to this vehicle so far, some specifically related to addressing the RCS, some not so much.
All 4 wheel speed sensors have been replaced (one in the back was replaced a second time because the shop said it was cut and another time codes were saying a rear sensor fault so that one got replaced, but I’m unsure if it was the same position. And the ABS light is still on. )
All 4 brakes replaced including pads, calipers and rotors. (There’s been no actual brake related issues since replacing them, however since another unrelated repair was made, the brake is on on the dash.)
Both front wheel hub bearings have been replaced.
One front half shaft replaced.
I believe a rear haft shaft was also replaced along with the pinion seal on the rear diff.
The front differential was either replaced or rebuilt due to bearing noise. (This resulted in the brake light staying on on the dash. It also resulted in a bizarre issue with the operation of the key fob locking and unlocking the doors, setting the alarm and the remote start. Also bizarre, those issues have since cleared up on their own and are now functioning like normal.)
This alarm issue is beyond annoying and happens all the time, randomly. It will go off at anytime, even just sitting still, or just after starting the vehicle and before even putting it in gear.
At this point, I’ve come to the conclusion that the problem is in the computer system that controls it, but it’s way too expensive to replace.
My main question right now is, is it possible to disable the alarm? The sound is coming from behind the instrument cluster, I’m assuming from the same module that makes the blinker noise. I don’t care if all the other alerts and noises, such as turn signals and stuff, are disabled as well, I just want this godawful noise to stop. Help!!!
