Hi everyone, I’m looking for some guidance on an issue with my 2018 Lincoln Navigator, now out of warranty, with about 85k miles. Running Boards Issue For the last few months, the power running boards have been inconsistent: They always extend normally when opening the doors. The issue was mostly with retracting after driving. While driving, the boards would retract as expected. Recently, after a dealer oil change, the vehicle was dropped off and the running boards stopped opening altogether. The dealer later mentioned that they are now seeing codes indicating the boards are “partially opened.” Battery Saver Mode / Lincoln App Issue (Possibly Related) This may or may not be related, but I want to include it for context. For over a year, the Lincoln app on iPhone has consistently shown: “Battery Saver Mode” “Remote features disabled to preserve battery” Because of this: Remote start doesn’t work Can’t unlock remotely Can’t see vehicle location Every time the car was at the dealership: They said they couldn’t identify an issue Battery tested “fine” Even so, the battery was about 4 years old, so I replaced it proactively with an H8 (49) AGM battery (specs). Unfortunately, this did not resolve the Battery Saver Mode or app issues. Additional things I’ve already tried: Driving longer distances to ensure proper charging Resetting and reinstalling the Lincoln app Re-pairing phones Trying different phones altogether No change. Questions Since the car is out of warranty and the dealer has a 2–4 week wait (plus diagnostic fees), I’d like to get more informed before going back. The dealer confirmed the battery reads correctly and shows no faults, but said there are running board codes stored. Is there a way for me to see the same codes myself? I believe I have an ANCEL AD310 scanner—would that be sufficient, or is something more advanced required? What scanner would make sense for an owner to invest in (without going crazy on cost) since we love the car and are planning to keep it? Where can I find Lincoln/Ford service documentation with step-by-step diagnostics and service procedures (similar to what the dealer uses)? Not only related to this issue but other services as well. Is it recommended to lubricate the running boards or their mechanisms, and if so, what areas and products are best? How difficult is running board motor replacement on these vehicles? The dealer speculted over the phone that most likely the motors will have to be replaced, but didn’t elaborate. Could this issue be related to the Battery Saver Mode or a deeper electrical / module sleep issue? Any known causes or recommendations? Any insight, experience, or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -
Does anyone know who to change the programming so that after remote starting, my 2012 F-150 Platinum will stop shutting off when I insert the key and turn to the run position?

Does anyone know if there is a way to extend the time the engine stays on after you initiate a remote start? Currently, my engine runs for about 5 minutes, then automatically shuts off. I'd like to extend that time to about 10 minutes. Thanks, Dan

Hi all, There are 3 new Customer Satisfaction Programs for the Fusion: 13B01 Job1 vehicles may not contain (some or all) of the following ordered accessories: All Weather Floor Mats, Cargo Nets, Remote Start! 13B02 2/7 through 11/1/12 headliner wrinkling on vehicles equipped with moonroof. 13B03 Job1 through 2/25/13 SE vehicles with luxury package were built with a polyurethane gearshift knob but should have been built with a leather knob. I'm starting to wonder if the "changes" to my Job 2 Titanium (like missing ambient lighting in my cupholders & missing stainless pedals for others) aren't just a misbuild situation? thought you might like to know.- 20 replies

I had the bi-directional remote start programmed on my 2013 Fusion SE. I have the Standard Message Center between the speedometer and tach. This was installed after purchase of the vehicle as an add-on and is the Ford branded system specifically for the 13 Fusion. Here is my question....Am I supposed to have options to enable the remote start system, change duration of run-time, rear defrost, quiet start, etc. by entering the menu and going to settings---->convenience---->remote start options...?? Can someone confirm if they have these options on the standard message center?
