OP... have you consider a full electric? or do you want to stay with Ford? Tesla is currently leasing the basic M3 (no full self driving) for about $450 with 12K miles a year. Not sure how much you are spending for gas on you FFE, but the cost per mile on electric is way lower than on gas. I own a 2013 FFE, a 2016 MS and 2016 MX and I can tell you that the saving in gas and oil changes are significant. I have been considering trading the FFE for a M3 but the trade-in offer from Tesla has been way too low.

I believe that the big battery charges the 12v battery when the car is plugged in, and that's why you get the smell. I had the same situation a few years back with the original 12v battery that came with the car. The one I replaced earlier this year did not have a smell, but the car would not turn on at all.

The 12v battery was replaced in late May 2020.

Good afternoon Forum, Last night the engine light goes on. I do a scan on the Zus Health Monitor and I got 3 codes: P0562 Charging System Voltage Low P0DBA P0DE1 Does anyone know what those mean? Thanks, Alex

Yes, the battery was the problem for sure. Actually that battery I bought in June 2017 had a 3 year warranty. It failed again in May 2020, so I got a totally free replacement. First time I was ever glad that I used the dealer for a battery.

Hello, My 2013 FFE is only getting about 10 miles to a full charge now. It used to get 21 when new. It seems that I'm below 50% of the original capacity. Does anyone know how the warranty on the battery works? What percentage it has to degrade for Ford to consider doing anything about it? Thanks, APM

The only code showing is C46B86 but shows as HIST not CURR Regards, Alex

Thanks again for the detail information... Will try that once the wife comes home with the car I will let you know if there are any codes. Regards, APM

Thanks... great explanation. Don't know how to get the fault codes Thanks, APM

Now I'm confused... those fuses don't seem to be specific for the fog lights. If either of those were blown nothing on the right or left side would work, Every thing else work on the left side except the fog light (low beam, high beam) Regards, APM

Hello, My 2013 with 78K miles is going about 10 to 11 miles on a full charge. It used to go about 20 miles on a full charge when new. I do charge every day with a 220V charger (Bosch). Regards, APM

I have changed the bulb twice and tried the bulbs on the other side and they worked fine. F62 would be under the sterring wheel, correct? Thanks, APM

Hello Forum, Does anyone one where the fuse for the driver side fog light would be on a 2013 Fusion Energi? Thanks for you help... Regards, APM

Thanks for the response... I decided to take it to the dealer because I could not find the battery anywhere. It turns out that the 390 battery is not longer manufactured. The parts department at the dealer siad that it had been replaced by the 590 battery, however that battery is a about an inch too big for the plate under the battery in the car. The mechanic tried to put the 590 in the car but of course he could not. They looked again in the system and found a 475 battery which was the correct fit. I think I paid more than I should have ($129 for the battery plus $50 for the install). In case anyone needs it, this is the new battery BXT99RT4A (470 CCA) Regards, ​Alex
