Wolfbox: Knowledge on Hardwire Kit and Installation [Part 2]  

New to me Bronco Sport, not so new to Ford

2 weeks ago we bought a 23 Bronco Sport Outerbanks. 34k miles and quickly gave it a 500 mile trip. The wife loves it, so a few mods have begun. About 10 Forscan changes, then I had the front windows tinted to match the rears and have trimmed the OEM antenna (garage clearance) and last night I installed OEM splash guards. This is probably my 15th Ford over the last 35 years. My 19 F250 and 01 Ranger I bought my 14 year old last year are also pictured. I just did ball joints and tie rod ends…

Cracked/Leaking Catalytic Converter, Out of Warranty, New Recall?

Greetings.

I have a 2022 OBX and it is out of warranty at 98,000 miles. Recently my catalytic converter developed a crack and is loud as hell and smells of exhaust from the engine compartment.

Recently on 2 of the FB groups a Canadian member posted a recall for Catalytic Converter issues. It extended the warranty to 240,000 kms (about 170,000 miles) and mentioned parts would be available by end of 2nd quarter.

Will this be extended to the US market? My current safety inspection expires…

Chip in Windshield

We’ve only had the Bronco since August and it only has 3000 miles on it. Now it has a chip in the windshield. A pickup going the other direction got us this morning.

I remember when chips were rare, but they seem all too common today. Both my F150 and Bronco have chips in the windshield and we’ve replaced the windshield in Mrs. T’s Cherokee. I hope the chip doesn’t turn into a crack.  

P0096 Ambient Air Sensor

Anyone ever had this code? Dealer is saying it’s $800 just to diagnose. I was thinking about changing the sensor myself first. TIA

Pre-Collision Alert?

This was a first for me. We were driving on a two lane semi-rural highway at 60 mph when I got a pre-collision alert on the instrument cluster and an urgent sounding chime.

There were a couple cars coming the other direction and one car waiting to enter the highway from a road on my right. None of them were a threat to cause a collision.

It happened far enough in advance that I could have avoided any collision that was imminent so that’s reassuring.

The warning was a large red box with…

Anyone in the Phoenix area looking for a new 2025 Badlands this seems like a good deal to me.
