All I can do is laugh at my predicament on the low voltage issue mentioned earlier. Everything was working out great.. I left for NY this past Sunday from FL. I drove straight through with no issues with EcoHell. On Tuesday, I had to go to my other house which is about 45 minutes away. In the middle of the drive, the damn Wrench Light came back on with the same issue(s) as described before. Let's just say I was fuming, given the money I had spent while in FL. While I was driving, I was thinking what it could be.. could it be the high output alternator took a ****, killing my new battery. There was only two things plugged into the vehicle 1) USB cord charging my cell phone and 2) my node plugged into the 110 outlet in the 2nd row.
While driving I unplugged both.
I made it to my other house. I checked the battery with a voltmeter. Battery was perfect..alternator was performing perfectly as well. Then it hit me..
When I purchased EcoHell, I began modding at 700 miles. One of those mods was...wait for it....the Pedal Commander. There were other issues associated with this product, so I turned it off, but it remained connected.
Took me all but 5 minutes to remove it and reconnect the stock connectors, So, let's reflect a little.. purchased a brand new AGM battery and a high output alternator (over $1000), when it turned out to be the Pedal Commander causing the problem in the first place. If it happens again..EcoHell may be traded in.. LOL.
Anyhoot, my next mod is removing the roof rails. Stay tuned for pics...
Also, did you guys receive the latest issues with our Sport from Ford? Received in the mail there is an issue with the cooling fan...jeeezzz
