Waiting room
Any body else in the same waiting room?
I know you warned me, delays and all… ordered Badlands with Badlands package, cargo management, hitch, grey roof, etc on 2/17. Got Ford’s order email confirmation the same day. And… nothing since. I don’t think I’m getting it by the end of May anymore. I’m hoping for some movement on my order and first half of June delivery at this point.
Any body else in the same waiting room?
Install Kicker Hideaway Sub
Thanks!
I bought while it was on sale a Kicker 10 in hideaway sub. I am not trying to figure out the easiest way to install it. Where I am going back and forth is either a radio harness or tapping the rear speaker wires. I have a 2025 Outbanks without the B and O radio. Can anyone give me input on how you potentially wired an amp in your Outbanks? I am trying to do this with minimal work and minimal permanent changes to the car……
Thanks!
Auto Start/Stop Disabled
I dislike this feature and make a point of turning it off most of the time. A few weeks ago, I noticed that it was no longer shutting the engine off while I was stopped and the indicator light on the instrument panel showed it was off, even though I hadn’t pushed the button! While I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, I’m wondering if this indicates a problem? In my ‘22 OBX, I bought the adapter to disable this feature but now maybe I don’t have to in this one.
Bronco Sport Badlands dies crossing 20″ of Water
Here is a Sprinter going through the same spot 1 week later at about the same depth. However much faster than I went.
I unfortunately did not get any video while the BS BL was being dragged out by the Wrangler, so I have to go by where the mud in the wheel well…
My Bronco Sport Badlands died on April 10, 2021 in 20″ of Water (probably less) near Moab, Utah. Ford’s website claims 23.6″. Here is my story on YouTube.

Engine Bay Fuse number 12
im new here and purchased a 22 bronco sport big bend 1.5 to fix up! I was wondering if someone had a diagram on everything that’s powered by Fuse 12 in the engine bay fuse box. Looks like there is a dead short either by a sheared wire or a bad component. Before I start going thru the harness the hard way I figured I’d start here! I’m also looking for the wiring diagrams for the boost control solenoid, the oil pressure solenoid and the evap systems but fuse 12 is my main concern at the…
