Ford Energi Not Charging / Wrench Light Fix

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video, I address a charing issue and warning light on a Ford C-Max Energi. I found the air inlet for the battery charger mostly clogged, causing the charger to overheat and stop charging. Fortunately it was a simple and straightforward fix, anyone with basic tools and vehicle knowledge can perform this repair.

    Love the lift! That is what I need but for a DIYer, probably more than I want to spend at the moment. Maybe when my channel gets bigger! Your repair was a good call! These electric cars are going to have a whole set of special issues Daniel.

    Hi Daniel, I really need your input. I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze and It has been leaking a little oil for a while but just recently I got a PO0299 code, meaning my turbo. And just yesterday i was driving up a hill then all of a sudden almost up the hill i was pushing the gas and then my speedometer went down and then i saw clouds of smoke. My car turns on and it’s able to be moved but Just endless smoke out the exhaust. I saw your video but I’m also seeing comments about a valve cover gasket. Any Help? Please.

    Yeah, that charger must be caked in dirt internally. Maybe Ford should engineer a replaceable paper filter for the inlet of the charger and hybrid batteries.

    This is mostly true. It really depends on whether you're using heat and what the temperature outside is. Sometimes it's even less. That said, it's still a great car for running around locally and also if you leave the house with a full charge in your driving along distance with the engine cycling on and off. I've gotten this high as 60 miles per gallon out of the thing with no problem.

    Great engine. FordTechMakuloco said that he would rarely see those in the shop, meaning it’s a good engine. Also, the 6.2 was offered as an option non-Raptor F150s from 2011-14.

    Well, I tried this “fix” and since I’m disabled I paid a repair shop $95.00 to clean the screen. I have to admit it was dirty and cleaned up really nice because the repair shop followed the video. Unfortunately it didn’t make a bit of difference 😔. I was really hoping it would work but it didn’t! Probably didn’t hurt to clean it but I’m still only getting a 10 mile charge on the battery. Sorry, now I have no idea what to do 😩
