Ok. So you just went through the depinning process to have better access to the wires for rejoining via soldering, then applying heat shrink for protection, and then reinserting the pins?
Believe it or not, we have a 2019 Ghibli and the only thing the manufacturer/dealership is proud of is taking as much money as possible from the customer. I have yet to find true pride/perfection in any vehicle that I’ve owned. They all have their issues, whether mechanical, electrical or appearance related.You want pride ? buy a Maserati.
I test drove a new $190K Porsche 911 Turbo and immediately noticed 3 things:
You’ll find that there isn’t much room to put anything over the wire. Doing so will prevent the flex needed to make the necessary bend in the harness, so that you can plug it into the actuator. The proper fix is to notch the pinch weld as indicated above. It’s a PITA to have to drop the exhaust for a simple fix, but it’s the only way to do it right. You need to create that U-channel, as shown in the pic of my sunglasses holder tray. The Dremel method will work like a charm because the orange grinding stone is round. You simply lay it horizontally on top of the pinch weld and in about 2-3 minutes, you’ll have a perfect U-channel. Debur the edges with a file and slightly round the two bottom corners, hit it with black Rustoleum paint and it will look like the car came from the factory that way.
Sad to hear that this is an issue especially on your Mach 1 but your car should still be new enough for any dealer to look at under warranty. My guess is there might be a loose connector. Definitely think this would be an example where you have the right to be upset at Ford. Its a new car and on top of that it is the highly desirable Mach 1 model. Not acceptable.
