Suspected Bad TPMS Sensor
Received a RF leak detected message when the pressure was reading 28 PSI. I checked the tires visually, by touch, and with a magnet and did not find a nail/screw.
I don’t have a digital pressure gauge yet (plan to get one that attaches to my pancake comprerssor tomorrow), so I used the readout on the cluster to fill all the tires to exactly 33 PSI, which I confirmed after driving the vehicle a short distance. Now the RF…

Spare Fuses
If one were to carry a set of spare fuses on the bronco sport, what would they be? I’ve read in the manual the fuse layout and types – but it’s hard to figure out what would be a basic set of fuses (sizes and type) that would be good to have on board for any blown-fuse situations. Any thoughts would be great.
Thanks!

AI Style Package…
I like the body-colour door handles and Bronco lettering on the front and back, but I’m undecided about the body-colour C-pillar.
Just for fun I decided to play with Gemini AI a bit to tweak my 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend, I asked it to give it body-colour door handles as well as the C-pillars and the Bronco lettering on the front and back.

How many miles did your spark plugs last?
I bought my 23 Outerbanks with 35k and at 41k got the orange wrench light. I have a really good scanner and came up with code P130D:00:68. There is minimal information on the web for this code(injectors, knock sensor, bad gas, software issue, etc). Took it to the dealer for diagnosis and they said saprkplugs were bad and possibly injectors. Knowing there is a pending injector recall (that is accompanied by a powertrain control module software update), they said sparkplug replacement is the…

Saving gas and battery life…
Anyone else familiar with these topics regarding how to improve fuel economy and improve your battery’s service life? I came across these on Youtube and I found them quite interesting. Has anyone ever tried these and did they actually make a difference for you?
Annoying Seat Belt lights.
2026 BS Big Bend. There is that annoying screen that comes on about all the seat belts. Red X means it’s not fastened, green check means it is. Here is the annoying part. Why do I have to freaking click ok every dang time I get in the car, to get it to disappear, even after all seat belts are clicked? It will stay on forever unless you click ok. Is there a way to turn this off? I found how to turn off the occupant alert for the back seat, but I can’t find it anywhere for the seat belts…

’21 Sport Big Bend headlight harness pin layout?
Thinking there was only one headlight assembly for the bronco sport, I purchased one off ebay. After swapping the headlight out and testing it…it did not light up. Looking at the headlight pins, turns out the pins on the headlight do not line up with my harness.
Photo #1 is my original headlight…
A deer ran into my bronco a month or so ago, broke the plastic for my passenger headlight and dented up the side panels. Drove it around with tape until 2 weeks ago the entire headlight went out.

Rental Jeep mismatched tires, thanks Enterprise 😡
I rented a Jeep Wrangler from Enterprise Rent‑A‑Car in Salt Lake City and didn’t notice until we were deep in Southern Utah that it had three different brands of nearly bald tires: one Bridgestone Dueler, two Vantage SUVs, and one very questionable Celimo. I’ve never heard of Vantage or Celimo 
To top it off, the T40 Torx tool for the spare tire lock was missing too. I’ll pry that off with the tire iron if I have too…
TL;DR – check the tires on a rental car before leaving with it

Colorado Road Trip from Phoenix
10 days and 2,100 miles later. The BSBL did not disappoint. This picture was from the Million Dollar Highway.
