Window sticker is right on the money with my car and driving habits. Couldn't be happier.

I have the felt like material in all 4 fenders. Almost no tire noise at all.

With the tilt of the steering wheel, I believe with electric steering, it's called Zero Calibration and it is done electronically. This must be performed whenever the steering system or alignment of the vehicle is worked on.

If you live where I do, they turn on the left signal to turn right. Watch the driver and car, your best bet.

Your ETIS summary does say you have it on your vehicle.

Three years already for this current body style, I'm sure it will be updated for 2016.
-
I agree with both, but check out a new Fusion and take plenty of pics of the new car to show your install was incorrectly done.
-
Very cool nmadole, thanks for the vid.
-
Pictures are always good.

Have them check your car for any TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins). You can view them here http://recalltsb.com/2013/FORD/FUSION

But yours has red/black/blue/white, correct? The white must be the switch then. The site even says they may differ, but the info sheet that comes with it has the correct setup for the module it comes with.

There's probably endless ways of doing it, I like to have them on all the time at the brightest mode. I did notice the front of the black Fusions, are not very noticeable when approaching traffic, I used to have a lot of people turn in front of me or cut me off. That has done a 180 now. It's a shame, that a $200 piece of equipment was not added to the new Fusion for safety reasons, well worth the money.
Not surprised that our fuse boxes are different, you have the hybrid and I don't, many differences I'm sure.

Here is the link for the install (http://ijdmtoy.com/BLOG/wordpress/2014/07/01/how-to-install-ford-fusion-led-daytime-running-lights/). Anyways, the acc fuse they showed was not available on my car (I only have an SE) so I used the windshield wiper fuse to trigger the activation of the lights. Being that power is taken from the battery, there is no risk to that particular fuse. DRL's turn on, as the key turns on, they turn off, 15 secs after the car is turned off.
My module was exactly as above:
Red - battery + terminal
Black - Ground to the car body near battery
Blue - Wiper fuse for activation of the unit
White - Did not hookup to headlight for dimmer as I'm not interested in that feature.(optional)
-
Very cool Nmadole! Ran the red to the battery. Where did you run yours?
-
My condolences on your Fusion, hate to see that. But it saved everyone. A good lawyer will help get you another one.
-
Will take pics when I get a chance. Nothing to run through the firewall as they are not controlled from the car interior. Automatic module that is included takes care of everything. If you're talking about running the wires from the grille area to the engine compartment, same as HID wiring routes.
-
Very easy to install, they quite literally pop right on. Module comes with it. Red (bat+) Black (ground-), blue (acc fuse to trigger on/off), white (optional) can be hooked to headlight positive that will dim the DRL by 50% when the headlights are on. That's it. These are exact fit, so they fit cars with or without the fogs. All the mounting points are there for the fogs to be mounted to.
-
I totally love them. Yes, I have HID's also (6000K), but kept the stock parking lights, kinda looks like it's angry. I got the DRL's for $169.99 + shipping from ijdmtoy.com. A month later, still doing great.
-
Make sure that the latch at the bottom (near the motor spindle - base of the arm) is fully locked down. If it's not, it will not make full contact with the windshield.
-
Just got my new DRL's installed this week. Love and they are very bright during the day also. Exact fit and option to auto dim (50%) when headlights are turned on. http://store.ijdmtoy.com

Take it back. Even if those are scratches in the clear coat, they need to fix it.

Does it really feel like the thud is at the floorboard area or in the center of the steering wheel itself? I had my steering wheel airbag replaced when I had the car for about 6 months because the airbag unit itself became loose. It was replaced with a new one.

Get a clay bar kit from the automotive store, that is your best bet. Follow the directions exactly.
