Ya I've seen this video in past, I will try to get clip of how mine sounds on cold start and how it switches back and forth just while sitting warming up not driving.That bit is normal - the valves aren't in a fixed position dictated by mode :
WD
The fact that the butterfly valve isn’t moving to the right positions makes me think the actuator is done. Taking it out and inspecting it outside of the car will get you a better idea.
I would try an extension on your brake cleaner nozzle (like the old WD-40 cans came with) and spray through the exhaust tip. You can try to loosen the motor enough to get the brake clean in there but it’s pretty tight under the car. I agree with Junits too, if it’s not moving at all the actuator is probably shot. I don’t think you’d have enough build up in there that it won’t move even a little bit.
I would say its moving 30% compared to the full movement on the passenger side... Will try to sneak some cleaner in it and manually nudge through the exhaust tip. Was taking it to Ford this morning. They wanted the car 3-5 days and may be longer... So why make an appointment right? Car sits outside during hail season.... no way.
Yeah that’s ridiculous. Shouldn’t take 3-5 days
So what issue were you having to know you had an issue, mine will just randomly change and on cold start it'll go from quiet to sport repeatedly until I get in and change it.
I replaced the passenger side harness which was $130CAD and no change it looked fine, now can't return it as it's electrical ffs. Lol I'm betting it'll be motor on one side or the other that's causing issues, I guess just get one try it on one side of fixed it then cool if not try on other side. Lol
Okay i think I'll have to start the car and actually take a look see what the actuators are trying to do, it's just frustrating trying to sort this out and really I'm only doing now are then not working for 2y because I have headers and really need quiet mode for cold start. I just had my cold start turned off so it helps as car only revs high for 2s then right down to like 800rpm, but I'll definitely take look see what they're doing when they continuously change from quiet to sport when I use remote start. I don't get the dash message well not often only here and there and most times I can choose mode but it's limited to sport and track, I'm not able to put in quiet or normal mode without it opening up on highway into sport or track.
