  1. Thanks for your advice. Hope it lets me shift out of park to neutral!
  2. Could I just plug the charger into the wall outlet and hook both terminals...red pos...black neg?
  3. I read that if I hook up a batterycharger/not trickle charger....that it would allow me to unlock the park position and place in nuetral! Any comments....black negative...red positive terminals!
  4. Akirby, I downloaded the manual instructions. Thanks for the advice. 👍👍
  5. Really....I'll check it out now...thanx!
  6. The 2014 Fusion I am suppose to get hauled way from my garage but battery dead and car won't go in neutral to move it! Any suggestions!
  7. Thanks for the info. It's a 1.5l and read of pending lawsuit. Car has close to 195,000 miles. Carmax offered $1100! Sitting for 6 months in my garage. Battery dead! New tires, New trans, water pump, tie rods....but hood, roof, trunk has a lot of hail damage! Used cars are so expensive, but am I right in taking $1100....no questions asked? It's my poor daughters car....and it hails a lot in Holmen, Wi!
  8. Our 2014 Fusion has an apparent engine block leak. Dealer claims he would give us $2000 for the car. We live in Wisconsin and local shops want $10,000 for replacement engine! We had just placed a new transmission, brakes, the rods, water pump only a short time prior. Any advice?
  9. Totally agree, Bob! We actually had a gathering of Mach-1 owners who would meet along Telegraph road in Dearborn Mi every Saturday night. It was the best of times! I had to work hard for that car but it brought me many great memories....most especially after beating a Chevy lover from our high school who boasted his Camaro 350 would beat me in a drag race down Telegraph Road! I will always remember that! I was later drafted and sent overseas! Thank God for allowing me to live during that period which had the best American cars and the best Music! I think you agree!
  10. I must comment on my shopping experience! I clearly recall my 1969 visit to North Brothers Ford in Westland Mi and looking at purchasing a new 1969 Shelby GT 500....that the dealer listed at $5200!!! Unfortunately, I was financially $2000 short and decided on a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 with the 351 engine! Great car but still think back on that beautiful GT 500!
  11. Hi J2sys, I thank you for your valuable information. I passed over the "lane keeping system" pages since I was looking for the icon/symbol on my instrument cluster which displayed the angled vehicle (similar to my hybrid Cmax which uses regenerating brake system). The engine Escape Manual shows various other symbols on the instrument cluster...cruise control, high beams, fog lamps...etc....however, there is no symbol definition for the 'lane keeping system !' I noticed the entire manual, plus that attached tutorial never indicates that symbol . Maybe Ford should think about including the symbol in the future. Either way, I'm relieved and really appreciate all of you Blue Oval members input!
  12. ALLELUIA! I FINALLY HAVE THE ANSWER! There is a small icon of the vehicle, located on the left turning signal lever , that has a button that I depressed and it disabled the icon on the instrument cluster. I must have mistakenly touched it in the past that activated it! Wow. ( I had to call a couple dealers in Michigan to get the answer! THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR ASSISTANCE! Merry Christmas!
  13. No. The symbol is on page 212 of 213! It's different than your symbol!
  14. Nope! I just tried the traction control option under Driver Assistance and it has a different symbol but didn't disable the icon on the instrument cluster! This is crazy. Thanks for offering your thoughts!
