Brazilian 2025 Bronco Sport FORScan experience — mirror tilt, one-touch global close, Auto Start-Stop, and the mysterious sunroof accessory

Hi everyone!

This is my first post here, although I have already learned a lot from reading the forum. Greetings from Brazil!

I recently bought a Brazilian-spec 2025 Bronco Sport Badlands 2.0L and decided to explore FORScan after discovering that Ford Brazil charges around R$1,700 — approximately US$340 — for an accessory/configuration package that supposedly adds remote control for the windows and sunroof.

Driver door locking mechanism not working

I drive a 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend. The driver door locking/unlocking mechanism isn’t working. I’ve done enough research to recognize I probably need to replace the actuator. However I cannot find a good DIY video to help me.

1) I’m not a car person but am trying to become one. So with that caveat, is this an easy DIY project for a beginner or should I just go to an actual mechanic

2) Can anyone share with me anything they have that may be helpful, youtube videos, the technical docs…

Leaking water pump?

I have a ’23 Outer Banks (1.5). I notice I have to add anti-freeze to the reservoir lately. I’m guessing that I’m having a water pump problem. My vehicle is over 3 years old with 19000 miles. Was there ever a recall for a water pump or is it strictly a warranty issue. If I can’t get it repaired by the dealer with a recall, I’ll take it to my local mechanic and save some money. What are my op

Wolfbox MegaVolt 24 Air — the best portable jump starter for camping and road trips

A lot of the camping experience comes down to staying organized. When storage space is limited, countertops get cluttered, and gear ends up tangled together, even a relaxing getaway can start to feel a little overwhelming.

That’s why having versatile gear that can handle multiple situations can make a big difference. The Wolfbox MegaVolt 24 Air was designed as the best portable jump starter for camping and road trips, combining four practical functions in one compact device to help campers…

Accident FE Bronco – borderline total from insurance?

Rear-ended. door smashed turns out damage to RDU and will need to be replaced. My car was perfect, not even a scratch – over 100k miles. Now I’m trying to understand valuations, and why the insurance company would total before repair – looking for some feedback on value of FE – but for the rear, everything else is perfect. Any feedback ? repair and keep, or total ? I guess I probably will have some nice parts available LOL – or keep and enjoy still.

Oil pressure sensor 2022 1.5L dragon

Hi, I’m looking to change out my oil pressure sensor, as I believe it to be part of an issue I’m having. On the ford parts website there are 2 different oil pressure sensors that come up as compatible for the 22 Bronco sport Big bend 1.5

should I go by the color of the oil sensor or are they both actually compatible but different revisions?

I have the metal oil pan too, just so you know the range that my motor was built

sensor 1:
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor – M12
SKU: OPS1 (GN1Z9D290D)…
