Big Shout Out THANK YOU - the tutorial saved my sorry fanny last night. This problem happened in the middle of the night while I was stuck in a parking lot. Your direction was perfect. I jiggled the connection with the wooden handle of a rubber mallet, and the thing came on. Incredible. When I tried it in the morning I took the battery out of my Ranger and stuck it in the bed with a set of cables, jic. I had to use the wood twice all day. The dealer said they will try to order the cable replacement but no clue on the time to receive the part. I told them to watch your video. It's not an authorized repair but he said I should try doing what you did. He cut me some slack on the warranty. You're the BEST!

Good job on the fix. Great that you got the customer back on the road without the truck being beached for weeks. Was really interested in a Maverick Hybrid but decided to wait to see what issues pop up and give time for Ford to fix them. In seeing this and some technical reviews of it, kind of glad I didn't try to jump on one. Ford seems to have skimped a little too much to meet the price point. Maybe I'll wait till next gen. With current supply chain issues, it'll be a while till I opt for new vehicle anyway.

Better then factory fix!! I bet that fuse was blown from the body shop trying to jump with the negative cable connected under the black cap that had a symbol that said DONT jump instead of the body negative post.

If there’s one positive from all of this, it’s that Ford designed this part of the system to be really modular and easy to remove. Everything either clips in or is held on with a fastener and is easily accessible. But it looks like they used garbage pot metal for those fuse connections and the harness connection. Had it been something like copper plated with a stainless steel or chrome, it would take to solder really well. Similar to guitar cable connectors, which are very cheap and easy to manufacture. But Ford cut corners to keep the truck under 20k, and this is a prime example of where that occurred. Excellent troubleshooting dude.

Honestly, IMHO that replacement 80A fuse is how it should have been designed in the first place. As an electronics tech I've always been contemptuous of non-replaceable fuses (for example fuses soldered to PCBs) in devices. I would have been tempted to also replace that 125A fuse with the same Bussman form factor just so the power distribution box wouldn't need to be disassembled a second time if that one blew. Like you, returning the vehicle to the customer in a better condition than you received it. If I lived close to your shop, based on your videos, I would attempt to get you to be my primary Ford mechanic.

@Sembazuru Жыл бұрын

Oops... My mistake. I thought that replacement Bussman you used was a housing with a replaceable internal element. I found after researching the series number that it isn't. Never mind about also replacing the 125A. But my comments on your work ethic still stand.

@weedeater62 Жыл бұрын

Ive seen the RV guys use that kind of crimper when doing upgrades to a charging system where those larger cables are used. Excellent choice here. That metal plate looks like an aluminum alloy. Probably a bad choice for under the fuses without some kind of coating. For that to stay there, I think I might have used more Deoxit and liquid tape. I'm paranoid about such things. Great recording, excellent info, always giving us more knowledge and experience!

Thanks for this. The "Mysterious failing harness" was a big negative. Now that I know it's a doable repair I feel a lot better. What caused that 40 amp fuse to blow? I would have liked to see Ford make a longer cable to that connection for some stress relief so movement and vibration doesn't work the end of the connection. Your mechanical joint is probably less susceptible. Ford really needs to make s service bulletin on this.

@pheelix- Жыл бұрын

I know you are already past this but still going to give my 2 cents. The issue wasn't the heat or the solder. The problem was the lack of flux and type of flux. If that connector has a stainless steel coating, it requires a special type of flux made to get solder to stick to it. The wire probably had some sort of coating on it as well and would also need some flux. The flux is called Stanless steel soldering flux No 71. Ford should of done what you did to fix it and just crimped a connector to the end of the wire, then added solder to it for some overkill. Lets hope Ford doesn't try to push this issue under the rug and not send out a recall. Keep up the good work. And you should do more live streams, they are always fun. :P

@FordBossMe Жыл бұрын

Solder is not always needed in not eyelid and whenever I have the type of solder that I have and it doesn't adhere to what's on the cable you start to think what is the type of solder that's actually on there

@pheelix- Жыл бұрын

@@FordBossMe I did a little more looking into that. I am pretty sure they are using a Stainless steel solder. And without the stainless steel liquid flux or solder, normal solder will not stick to it. It makes sense to use that type of solder to prevent corrosion. Ford still should of done what you did and crimped it first out of the factory, then hit it with the stainless steel solder to prevent the corrosion. Also for future smaller wire work when soldering. I still recommend using a little Rosin flux even if the solder you are using has some in it. It will help the solder flow and also clean the wire. With the direction Ford is headed from what I have heard, Hybrid/EV will be pretty common to work on in the future. I'm sure you know to be careful around those orange cables too, lithium batteries are no joke when it comes to current and shorting. Stay safe man, keep at it.

Good repair with the copper crimp lug using a hydraulic crimper with the correct die delivers a homogeneous connection that solder can’t flow into , the original connection looks like a fusible link with that soldered overlap joint with limited mechanical and electrical strength the anti corrosion plating must be some form of chrome if it won’t take tin or solder.

@peterlukasch8579 Жыл бұрын

Excellent video as to fixing this problem, and I think you're right, the repairs you did are very likely better than the recall repair. The reason you couldn't get the solder to take on the old lug clamped in the vice is because the the vice acted like a heat sink and transferred all the heat into the vice, instead of the lug. the other end of the lug was away from the vice and could be soldered.
