Hey folks, came across this thread, and the other one too. I have this clicking / ticking noise whenever my weight shifts on the seat back on the driver seat in the car, which is constantly . I can replicate it by sitting forward then backwards on the seat. But can’t replicate it without...

I think you're right, the BMS Ford uses is pretty poor, I know from my Mondeo it was always acting up, seems to be the same in the Mustang. She's had plenty of driving these past few days, yet this morning dropping my daughter at school, the chimes were through the dash again. I turned her...

OK, so I think I will renew my license with Forscan, (the free one has access to the BCM, right?) and have a play around with that.

Yup. What was really hilarious was in an effort to prove how 'normal' this was, they supposedly tested another Mondeo they had on the lot (which had only just reopened from lockdowns) and it did the same thing.....I had to inform them that they had better check the battery on that car!

Cool - Thanks for that....I assume you could use Forscan for that (excuse my ignorance if not), however bit hard to drive and watch the laptop :D

OK, thanks for this. It appears that the batter is the issue, well, not an issue as its good, but you know what I mean. Whats weird is that if the digital gauge for the battery is correct, then there are occasions when the car has misbehaved when its at a higher state than when it hasnt...

Thanks for explaining. So it would seem it is a battery related issue, similar to my Mondeo. Its weird about the gauge and the issue.

Interesting....... not going to pretend I understand all of what you've said, but, correct me if Im wrong (please do!) but I think you're saying the battery despite being at full charge (according to the charger) was only reporting a 30% charge, which dropped overnight to 24%, again despite the...

The license was the free one, the 2 week one, easy enough to renew, providing that allows this reset?

how do you reset the BCM? I do have the elm cable and forscan. (I’ll need to renew the license of course)

Weirdly, restarting never works! (Not immediately anyway, maybe if she’s left for a spell…)

On my Mondeo I would get a message on screen as I mentioned in my first post. The fix was to stick the power on, flash the headlights 5 times, pump the brakes 3 times and wait fir the battery icon to flash 3 times. lock the door and leave the car for an hour. This reset the BMS. Downside was it...

its only really when I stick her in reverse that I notice if its misbehaving or not. My driveway is being replaced just now so where I park I always have to reverse, but rarely have anything behind me. If I do find myself starting her cold and reversing, it’s mainly the main speakers it comes...

I'll be very interested to hear the results of your troubleshooting. I dont think it is the battery, on some occasions its happened (only the chimes, I havent had the same message my Mondeo displayed), the battery has a higher level (according to the digital gauge) than on occasions that it...

Haha I was quite lucky. That was the day she was delivered to me.

Hey folks, I’ve been experiencing this issue where the chimes (earning if door open when engine on, parking sensors etc..) comes through the backup dash speaker rather than the actual speakers. It seems completely random, I will drive the car and it will be fine, then the next time, it does it...

Hey Folks, Im the Latman from Bonnie Scotland. 46 yr old and just broken my mustang virginity. I’m a long time Ford owner, and finally upgraded from my ‘17 Mondeo Titanium (a very good car that served me faithfully) to an ‘18 5.0 GT. That’s my girl and I’m in love. She’s 5 years old in...

Great, thanks for letting me know. I’ve got my syn3 updater usb ready to go. Roll on Wednesday :)

Hey Folks, My ‘18 GT V8 is being delivered on Wednesday, suffice to say I can’t wait! I’ve discovered that the previous owner (who only did 12k miles) hasn’t updated Sync at all. here in the U.K., you can’t got from Sync 3.0 to 3.4 using the official Ford downloads (at least I couldn’t on my...
