Of course, just when I decide to do this, the doorbell rings, the phone rings, the dryer starts buzzing with a done load. The red cover has been taken off and it looks like either there's a new battery terminal or something has been added to it. I thought I'd be nice and snap a photo of the battery area. Please get back to me about the batter tender your dealer installed, I hope you saw my inquire about that above. Thank you for that information, that confirms that the drop may be normal. It has a red light on when topping off battery that turns green when not. They are great for mowers, garden tractors, motor cycles, boats, etc, etc. It just keeps the battery topped off during the sometimes 3 weeks a month I don't use it and shuts off automatically. I have is so if I forget to unplug it, it pulls apart at the headlight connection when I back up but I always (so far) have remembered to disconnect it. It has a 10 foot cord that plugs into the pigtail/plug at the headlight. I have the tender/charger plugged into 120 volt outlet. I have the pigtail/plug just out the space between the right front headlamp and the fender. I, at my own expense, have what is called A Battery "Tender" Junior permanently hooked up to the battery in my 2009 Ford F-150 supercrew lariat truck. Can you take a look and let me know exactly what your dealer added and how it works without you plugging it in? If dealers are supposed to be doing this (battery saver) myself, and it looks like others, are not getting what Ford intended possibly. After seeing that the red cover on the battery was not disturbed I just assumed it was something your dealer was doing to ward off dead battery questions from customers. I even looked at my battery to see if anything was added. I read your original post about the battery saver. I'm at the point now where I'm just saying "whatever". My Repair Order indicated installation of that Battery Saver that no one else has mentioned. I still haven't heard mine running but we have a large garage with lots of chirping birds outside always. No, it apparently just runs the existing pump for about 10 seconds after the engine is shut off. Mine often sits for a few days and the coolant level goes down about the same during the idle period. We'll see in another week or so what happens. I put the tape on the plastic bottle when Coolant was hot so the 1/4 inch drop may be due to the car sitting a few days now and completely cold. I checked it 2-12-2020 and the coolant has dropped 1/4 of an inch. With a black sharpie I then put an arrow pointing at the fluid level with today's date. B 4 closing the hood I put a piece of 3/4 wide tan masking tape on the plastic coolant bottle with the bottom of the tape at the top level of the coolant. Upon arriving home I listened for the pump still running after shut off and it was. I don't think the above info changed since I retired but is possible.Īs I said in an earlier post, I had this 19B37 "PROGRAM" completed on my 2017, 3000 mile Fusion 1-30-2020. Programs are usually free too but only for the time listed, usually a lot less then 10 years. I was, before I retired, a service manager at a Lincoln Mercury, Ford, Mercedes Benz dealership. TSB repairs are "not" necessarily free if vehicle is out of warranty. There may well be a TSB on 1.5L engine running rough at start up, and a check engine light on and a suggested reason, repair/fix, but I doubt it would be this same 19B37 number. TSB's are intended to put the service writer and or Technician on to a known problem and a recommended repair/fix. A TSB, short for Technical Service Bulletin, is a numbered notice sent to dealers for a fix for a specific complaint/problem owners are having with their vehicle. ![]() ![]() The recalls are usually, but not always, instigated by the Federal government. A recall lasts for 10 full years to anybody that owns the vehicle during that 10 years. 19B37 is not a recall nor is it a TSB, it is, as another poster above correctly named it, a customer satisfaction "program".
