  Why does my Ford Fusion jerk when accelerating from a stop?
Posted by: Todd_Gearhead - 08-27-2024, 12:26 PM - Forum: Fusion - No Replies

Lately, I’ve noticed that my Ford Fusion jerks when I accelerate from a complete stop. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it’s becoming more frequent. Could this be a transmission issue, or is it something simpler like bad spark plugs or fuel injectors? I’m open to any suggestions before taking it to the shop.


  Recommended 2017 Ford Fusion battery size?
Posted by: Todd_Gearhead - 08-27-2024, 12:22 PM - Forum: Fusion - No Replies

I need to replace the battery in my 2017 Ford Fusion, but I’m not sure about the correct size. From what I’ve gathered, it should be a Group Size 96R, but can anyone confirm this? Also, if you have any recommendations on brands or types that work well in cold climates, I’d love to hear them.


  Is the Ford Fusion EcoBoost a good engine?
Posted by: Todd_Gearhead - 08-27-2024, 11:53 AM - Forum: Fusion - No Replies

I’m considering buying a used Ford Fusion with the 1.5L EcoBoost engine. I’ve read mixed reviews online about its reliability and performance. For those who have this engine, what’s your experience been like? Is it a good choice for daily driving, or should I look for a different engine option?


  DIY Guide: Resetting the Climate Control System in Your Ford Fusion (2013-2020)
Posted by: Todd_Gearhead - 08-27-2024, 10:17 AM - Forum: Fusion - No Replies

If you’re experiencing issues with the climate control system in your Ford Fusion, such as strange temperature readings, unresponsive controls, or inconsistent air flow, a simple reset might be all you need to restore proper function. This guide walks you through the steps to reset the climate control system for Ford Fusion models from 2013 to 2020.

Over time, the climate control system in your Ford Fusion can develop minor glitches due to software errors, sensor misreadings, or other electrical issues. These problems can manifest as incorrect temperature readings, a system that doesn’t respond to adjustments, or fans that behave unpredictably. Resetting the system is a quick and easy way to clear these issues without needing to visit a mechanic.

What You’ll Need:

  • Your Ford Fusion’s ignition key or start button
  • A clear understanding of the climate control buttons (Power and Defrost)

Step-by-Step Guide:

Start Your Vehicle:
  • Insert your key into the ignition or press the start button to turn the car on. Make sure the engine is running, as the reset procedure requires the climate control system to be fully operational.

Access the Climate Control Panel:
        
  • Locate the climate control panel on your dashboard. The Power button typically controls the system’s on/off state, and the Defrost button activates the windshield defrost function.

Initiate the Reset:

With the engine running, simultaneously press and hold the Power button and the Defrost button. You’ll need to hold both buttons down for about 10-15 seconds. During this time, you may notice the climate control display flicker or reset.

Wait for System Reset:

After holding the buttons for the required time, release them. The climate control system should now reset itself. You may hear the vents adjusting or the fans changing speed as the system reinitializes.

Test the Climate Control:

Once the reset is complete, test the system by adjusting the temperature, fan speed, and vent settings. Ensure that everything is responding correctly. If the reset was successful, your climate control system should now operate as expected.

Troubleshooting:
  • No Response After Reset: If the system doesn’t respond to the reset or if issues persist, you may need to check for blown fuses or consider a more in-depth diagnostic with a professional.
  • Recurrent Issues: If the climate control problems return after a reset, it might indicate a deeper electrical or sensor issue that requires attention.

Applicability:

This reset procedure is specifically for Ford Fusion models from 2013 to 2020. The climate control systems in these years are similar, so the process should work across all trims and variations. If you have an older or newer model, the steps might differ slightly, so refer to your owner’s manual or consult a professional.

Resetting your Ford Fusion’s climate control system is a straightforward process that can often solve minor issues quickly. If you follow these steps and still encounter problems, further investigation might be needed, but this guide is a great starting point to get your system back on track.


  How to read timing marks on a Ford Fusion?
Posted by: Todd_Gearhead - 08-27-2024, 10:12 AM - Forum: Fusion - No Replies

I’m about to check the timing on my 2012 Ford Fusion with a 2.5L engine. Does anyone have tips on how to properly read the timing marks? I’ve heard it can be a bit tricky, especially without the right tools. Any advice or a quick guide would be appreciated.


  Transmission cooling line diagram for a 2016 Ford Fusion?
Posted by: Todd_Gearhead - 08-27-2024, 10:09 AM - Forum: Fusion - No Replies

I’m having some transmission cooling issues with my 2016 Ford Fusion, and it’s been affecting the overall performance of the vehicle. The transmission seems to be running hotter than usual, and I suspect there might be a blockage or a leak in the cooling lines. I’ve noticed some fluid spots under the car, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s from the transmission or another source.

I’m looking for a detailed diagram of the transmission cooling line routing so I can better understand how everything is connected. This would help me pinpoint any trouble spots, whether it’s a clogged line, a faulty cooler, or a potential leak. If anyone has experience with this or knows where I can find a reliable diagram, I’d really appreciate the help. Also, any tips on common issues with the cooling system in the Fusion would be great, especially if you’ve dealt with something similar.

  Lug pattern for 2017 Ford Fusion
Posted by: Todd_Gearhead - 08-27-2024, 09:20 AM - Forum: Fusion - No Replies

For those looking to upgrade their wheels or considering a new set of rims, the lug pattern on a Ford Fusion is crucial. The 2017 Fusion, for example, has a 5x108mm pattern. This is pretty standard for many Ford vehicles, but always double-check your specific model year to avoid any fitment issues.
