  1. Thought I had the same problem on my 2015 Titanium wagon. It turns out to be a feature rather than a defect. For some ungodly reason the engineers at Ford wanted to illuminate around corners and the fog ( cornering) lights come on automatically when the headlamps are on when the steering wheel is turned even slightly. Turn your wheel to the left and see if the left fog lamp doesn't light.
  2. Recirculate should be unavailable when defroster is on. With defroster off your breath is recirculated and bears more moisture than cold outside air
  3. The Promaster City does not come with any spare tire, If you need one you have to buy the winch, jack, tire tools and the protective covers separately. I would hate to have a highway blowout and try to fix it with their sealant and air pump. I just got rid of a brand new Grand Caravan because of a fault that caused an accident and I wouldn't recommend an FCA product to anyone
  4. Negative camber means the wheels lean inward at the top.Slight positive camber is more usual and cause less tire wear, most road surfaces being crowned
  5. If you are concerned that you have not received a recall notice you can enter your vin number at the NHTSA site. My only reason for mentioning the recall was to suggest that the problem wasn't necessarily hardware related. Hard to troubleshoot without a logic diagram as well as electrical
  6. On 2015 Transit Connect there is a current recall for instrument cluster problems. It is a software issue. Your fault is possibly related to the Power Control Module (PCM).

  8. I just tried to upgrade a stereo without satellite to an OEM one with satellite. All the connections work mechanically, but the Ford dealer is telling me that this can't be done because the power module won't recognize satellite install
