    Fuses for 6-pin connector?

    The Upfitter's Manual says that the 6-pin connector has three 40A fuses, in Battery Junction Box positions 40, 16 and 6. The diagram in the manual (page 2-119) doesn't SHOW #40, and on my 2016, putting a fuse in #16 didn't put power into the plug, and #6 doesn't seem to actually have any...

    2016 fob stopped working

    While I was in Hawai'i for a couple of months, the battery in the 2016 FPIU went dead. New battery, but the fob isn't working. I guess I'll try a new battery in the fob, but does this REALLY need to visit the dealer each time the battery in car or fob is replaced???

    2016 3.7 best timing chain kit? VVT sprocket needed?

    2016 3.7 FPIU After waiting a while, the time has come to buy the stuff I need for my water pump/timing chain swap, and I'll have a local mechanic do the work. That means that I need to have all of the parts to hand him when he starts. I'll be getting the FoMoCo pump, but I don't see a full...

    Water pump -- would you do the job again, or take to a shop?

    Those of you who have done the water pump job yourself, would you do it again, or just take it to a shop? And how much would you consider the most that you would pay? For that matter, what price is low enough that you would NOT do it yourself? I usually do my own work, but I'm getting old...

    Preferred brands of water pump, timing chain, spark plugs?

    Okay, my Explorer (2016 3.7 155k miles) has just developed post-nasal drip, so a water pump change is in my future. I see an ACDelco at $65, and FoMoCo at $110 -- is there a reason to buy or avoid one or the other? While I'm in there, I might as well do the timing chain. I see FoMoCo in the...

    Brackets for Setina PB to 2017 FPIU?

    Looking for the mounting brackets for a Setina PB400 and 2017 FPIU. I only need the outer brackets (that bolt to the PB itself, and attach to the inner brackets).

    Where is the 2016 upfitter's guide? Is this much different from a 2017 guide?

    FPIU skid plate removal?

    Is there a video or instructions for removing the FPIU skid plate? Or am I just going to have to take the time to psych it out?

    Sourcing bulk Mercon LV?

    Got shifting troubles, hoping that dealing with the solenoid pack (ungunking or replacing) will solve the problem. However, the next problem is sourcing 12 quarts of Mercon LV. Which means I'm probably going to just get a 5-gallon bucket. Since I'm not the first here doing drain and refill...

    What years transmission compatible with 2011 - 2019?

    <Edited thread to make more generic> I have a 5th-gen FPIU with some transmission issues. If I decided to just replace the trans, which models/years are directly compatible?

    Workshop Manual (2017)?

    Can anyone point me to a factory-level Workshop Manual for the 2017 that isn't just the PDF with hundreds of broken hotlinks to the "Marius" directory? After two tries on eBay, I figure I should see if anyone here has found a good source. Willing to go for any between 2016 and 2019.

    Shift issues solved

    <Edited> Shift issue RESOLVED. Flushed and refilled trans fluid, now it's been working for the last week or so. No metal in drained fluid, just murky looking.

    Charging system trouble? First check the damn belt tensioner!!!

    I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to chase down a charging system problem. I was just about to start the process of pulling the alternator, and have ordered a replacement regulator and brush set, and was thinking that I might want to pick up a used PCM, just in case, so was posting for...

    PCM programming?

    If Ii end up having to swap out the PCM for one taken from another FPIU, does the "new" one need to be programmed? If so, can FORScan do this?

    2017 PCM location?

    Okat, now, I like a mystery as much as the net guy, but where did they hide the PCM on the 2017 FPIU? I'm going down the list of tests for a no-charge problem, and one step is to pull the plug from the PCM . . .wherever the heck it is. I have the workshop manual coming on a thumb drive, but...

    Solved Charging system wiring questions.

    2017 FPIU, 3.7 engine. A couple of days ago (after cold soaking down into the 10F range), I got an intermitted popup to check the charging system NOW. I was seeing a proper charge on the VOM, but the serpentine belt was showing a puff-out of a couple of fibers, so I replaced it. I'm still...

    2017 PIU ignorant newbie questions

    I just got a 2017 FPIU, and have been glancing through here, which has added to my list of stupid questions. It used to belong to the San Bernardino County (CA) Sheriff's Office, if that helps anyone pin it down. It's in rode-hard-put-away-wet condition (a few minor dings and the liftback has...
