Automatic folding proyect

Then the rain sensor project is finished.
I would like to see if electric folding can be added to the mirrors.
The BS 2025 with electric folding is sold in Brazil. So it has to be possible.
I can’t find the part number for the Brazilian mirror to look it up. And I don’t know if it would just be a matter of adding the motor or if the whole mirror needs to be replaced.

I don’t think anyone has ever done this before. :sunglasses:

RDU repair leads to 4WD Fault message

My 2021 Outer Banks was shuttering when turning at slow speeds. I took it to the dealer for repair and they determined the RDU needed to be replaced in addition to the PTU. After the repair alerts were showing up on the screen so they recommended the AWD control was needed. The AWD control is not covered under the powertrain warranty so had to pay for that repair. After the new control was put in the dashboard messages continued. They then said the RDU actuator motor had an internal…

What other car/transportation projects are you working on?

Other than the Bronco, what other vehicle/transportation projects are you working on?

For me, its my 67 Camaro. Currently replacing its carb and intake manifold with correct date coded carb and manifold. It took me a few years to locate all the correct and date coded OEM stuff, but I finally have them, and getting ready to install.

On the RV, sprucing up the interior with wood flooring, fresh tile in the bathroom, and some woodwork in the cabinet area.

FordPass App Shuts Down

This as been a issue with this vehicle since owning it. When the weather changes to a colder climate, I will get a message on my app that the auto start feature is disable for battery conservation. The weather here isn’t that bad yet. I’ve installed an AGM battery with year, so I can see that being the issue. Anyone have the same issue and better yet, any solutions? BTW the k,ey fob does start the vehicle.

Towing package vs aftermarket

My poor 2023 Bronco Sport Big Bend was rear-ended and is totaled. The insurance company is going to give me an as-yet-undetermined sum to replace it. As I look at used options online, I don’t see any with a hitch receiver, which I have due to occasionally pulling a small trailer. When buying the vehicle new, I purchased the towing package. This includes the hitch receiver, wiring (which I needed modified), and “trailer sway control”. If I purchase a used BS without Ford’s towing…

Bronco 2024 Outer Banks – Heating

Hi All,
this is my second Bronco (guess why?) … I’m a happy camper!!
However, here is my question in hopes someone can enlighten me.
I remember with mt first one (2021) I press the driver side heater button (big Knob/wheel) … both sides, driver and passenger side, came on, same temperature.
Now, doing the same, only my side/driver side comes on and passenger side remains off / has to be activated separately.

Is this a new feature and I have to live with it … or is there a way to…
