A Classic Turns 60…
Free on YouTube!
This being an automotive forum, I thought it would be appropriate to remind everyone of one of the all-time great racing films Grand Prix. Released in 1966, I saw it first run in the theater, the first movie I saw on my own. Also the first (and only) film that I inadvertently walked out on–not knowing about intermissions at that age. Took me another ten years or more before I had a chance to see the complete movie…

Ford Dealership refusing to repair active recalls.
I called the dealership today (Patchogue, NY) and spoke to someone who told me that recalls were no longer going to be repaired unless it was a “Customer Satisfaction issue” where a customer called in complaining of an issue. They then told me that any Ford dealership on the island would handle “recalls” this way.
They then asked me to explain one of the recalls and told me it was already repaired. After checking…

Anyone install Fitcamx?
Has anyone installed a Fitcamx 4K car cam in their BS? These are supposed to look OEM for various car models and just replaces a plastic piece in front of the mirror.

Fordpass remote start does not turn on heat or heated seats?
Fordpass remote start does not turn on heat or heated seats?
Hello Community can anyone help me with my 2024 Bronco Sport Badlands with Sync 3.4. When using the Fordpass remote start, neither the heat nor the heated seats activate. I have tried both the “Auto” settings and the “Last” settings to no avail. This is pretty frustrating and the Ford dealer told me that my vehicle didn’t come with remote start on the key fob so there is nothing that they can do. This seems strange to me since the settings seem to be there. Is there something that can be…

Fuse 7 Bronco Sport Big Bend 1.5L
I have a blown fuse number 7 in the engine bay. Looked at the diagram in the 2022 Bronco sport wiring diagram book, makes sense because some of the items on that circuit aren’t working.
When I look at the battery junction box section in the book it says FUSE 7 – 15A – Heated Oxygen Sensors (HOS), Variable camshaft timing solenoids, Evaporative Emission (EVAP) valves,
Piston cooler valve, Turbocharger. wastegate regulating valve solenoid (TWRVS)

Just a little confusion on a fuse!

1.5L towing long distances. Share your reports / experiences
Hey, I have a 21 Bronco Sport Big Bend with the 1.5L, my wife and I are currently on the road moving to Texas from Oregon and we’re towing a 5×8 uhaul trailer loaded to the max. So far we’ve traveled 780 miles and the 1.5L has impressed me! Pulling some big passes we drop to around 14-16 mpg and on the flats we’ve averaged 20-23 mpg! It’s having no problems so far! Has anyone else traveled 1000+ miles towing with their Bronco Sport? I’d love to hear y’all’s experiences…
