Replacing Front Wiper Linkage
Fifty150 replied to 103west43rd's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
On my ex-girlfriend's (redacted Chrysler product), I had to drain and remove the washer fluid & radiator overflow reservoirs, in order to change the spark plugs. This same vehicle also had a spin on filter inside of the transmission case, which of course, required dropping the pan to get to the filter. The oil drain plug was located on the side of the engine oil pan, 1/2" up from the bottom.....as if you were going to tip the vehicle 90 degrees on it's side, to get the last quart of oil out. A dealership tech told me that he used a hand pump to fully drain the oil pan. Otherwise, there would always be a quart of old oil mixed with the new oil. You can see how that could lead to problems in the long run. -

As an FYI, at my place of employment, our Econoline fleet all came with Adrian Steel products. If anyone is interested in industrial use (ladders, pipe, plywood, et cetera), an industrial product may be a better choice. Thule & TracRac appear to be geared towards the recreational market (bikes, kayaks, skis, snowboards, et cetera).

As I gaze upon the traffic and congestion of life in the big city, Transit Connect vans are on every street and on every block. Yet, I alone have auto glass indicative of passenger usage. That is due to change with taxi fleet purchase. But I do feel alone in a crowded room. How is your van in the winter months?

Roof attachment points on 2014 Transit Connect

There are actually a lot of options out there. The aftermarket has plenty of support for recreational and commercial use racks. -
Roof attachment points on 2014 Transit Connect
Fifty150 replied to hdrider's topic in 2014 Ford Transit Connect
Did the dealer sell you the parts, and do the installation? Or did they sell you the parts, and you installed it yourself? There is an online video showing the installation of a ladder rack. The installer drilled out the oval hole to 1/2", then used a rivet nut which completely filled and covered the opening. What you could do is go to Tap Plastics and buy a piece of plastic sized to fit in the rain gutter and larger than the OEM plug, with a hole drilled in the center for whatever size hardware you are using. Use this as a spacer. Then apply silicone around the opening on your roof, place the Tap Plastics spacer over the hole, and install your rack with additional silicone between the Tap Plastics spacer and your rack. Or simply find a metal washer with a hole sized for your bolt, and big enough to cover the oval hole. -
How are you using your vehicle? Commercial, personal, or mixed?

A used 2016? It's still 2016. How many miles are on it? What is the backstory? Repo? Rental? Lease return?

Apparently, the harness is different on the 2016. So Chuck needs the part number for the correct harness. Chuck wants to find the correct harness connectors for the 2016 model year, then splice them into his Curt 56218, so that he can then plug & play via the OEM harness. I would simply cut the Curt 56218 connectors off, and tap the wires right into the OEM wiring.

2014 TC Rear Wiper Not Working
Fifty150 replied to Beta Don's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
Windows stop working. Fuses blow. It's an imperfect world. Screws fall out all the time. Ideally, under optimum conditions, fuses do not blow when everything is operating correctly. Something happened, which caused a surge, which blew the fuse. Now, how do you go about finding the cause? Even though I understand the simplicity of 12V direct current X amperage = wattage, it still frustrates me when I can't figure it out. On one of my other vehicles, the OBD II port is tied into the same fuse as the cigarette lighter adapter. I couldn't figure out, no matter how hard I tried to, why that fuse blew. I'm just lucky that the fuse did blow, and my OBD II port did not get damaged. -
2014 TC Rear Wiper Not Working
Fifty150 replied to Beta Don's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
I wouldn't give your dealer a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down". I want a new icon to click on, depicted with an image of "the finger". I know the owner of the local Unocal Station. I drive in, drink his free customer coffee, chat with him, and never buy his gas or allow his techs to work on my cars. The "air filter service" is an old trick that he learned 60 years ago, as a teenager working at someone else's service station. No white air filter will stay white once it's installed. By the time the customer rolls in for anything, even to have the tires inflated, you can always open the air intake box and pull out a dirty filter to show the customer. A $5 air filter could be re-sold by a service facility for $25 + free installation. It's a scam. The same way they put a little sticker in your windshield to have you bring your car back in 3,000 miles for the next oil change. Is there a local mechanic that you can trust? It sounds to me like you should not go back t that dealership. -
2014 TC Rear Wiper Not Working
Fifty150 replied to Beta Don's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
Yikes. I see the signs all over town. "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT $50" That's about 44.62 Euros by today's rate. That's why I've always had code readers for my cars. I've got a ScanGauge II installed in the F-150. The SCT Flash devices and other handheld tuners also function as code readers. I also have a OBD II cable that plugs into my laptop's USB port, and that came with software for diagnostic trouble codes. I found an OBD II bluetooth dongle that works on the Transit Connect for about $7 or $8 on amazon.com, that works with my tablet computer and the Torque app. When all else fails, buying a $20 code reader or borrowing one is still better than paying for some shop to read your codes and turn your check engine light off. -
You may have to resort to the old fashion method of using a tap connector.

I hope these videos on youtube help.

2014 TC Rear Wiper Not Working
Fifty150 replied to Beta Don's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
Sorry to hear that your local dealer is terrible. Did your dealer advise you in advance what they were going to do, and how much it will cost? In my state, by law, they have to give you an estimate of work to be performed & cost, prior to doing anything. And, you have to sign the work order authorization, or give your acknowledgement verbally (over the phone). Otherwise, they can't simply do whatever they want, or tell you they did something to your car, and then charge you for it. I am certain that you would have said no to $99, and changed he fuse yourself. The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act (P.L. 93-637) is a United States federal law, (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.). Enacted in 1975, it is the federal statute that governs warranties on consumer products. Where is it specifically in the bumper to bumper warranty that says fuses are not covered? Did they show you the warranty subsection? With the new car warranty, it is suppose to be bumper to bumper for the first 3 years or 30,000 miles right? And even when you buy a car used, you still are entitled to the effective balance of the warranty from when the car was first sold. On my F-150, my dealer gave me an extra set of wiper blades. Wear items should be included, since nothing should wear out in the first 3 years. Nothing. Not the water pump, battery, lamps, drive belt, radiator, alternator, et cetera. Isn't that what bumper to bumper means? The drive train is suppose to be covered for 5 years or 50,000 miles. The tires have a completely different warranty. And you're suppose to get roadside assistance in case you need a jump start, tire changed, or tow for the first 5 years. The only time that they can void your warranty is if you do something to the car, where your actions are a direct result of the failure. If you lift your truck, and your new suspension plus larger wheels and tires wear out the brakes, or even worse, the transmission, drive shaft, rear end, and axles; them your warranty is void. If you perform a bunch of engine mods, then go street racing, and you blow your engine; you are out of luck. If you change out your lighting and your OEM lamp plugs melt, then you are at fault. If you swap out your factory head unit and now all sorts of things that were controlled through the head unit no longer work, there is no warranty for you. But there has to be a direct correlation. If you install a lift kit, and your wiper arms no longer work, then they still have to cover the wipers since one thing had nothing to do with the other. If you replace your OEM sound system, and the radiator starts to leak, your new subwoofers have nothing to do with a bad radiator. Have you tried going to another dealer in your area? In my local area, there are a lot of dealerships. This makes them a lot more competitive for my business. One local dealership has a children's play room, a refrigerator stocked with beverages, and a Starbucks coffee bar for customers. At another dealership, the parts counter guy will do all the little things like change lamps, change batteries, change fuses, inflate your tires, et cetera, because you bought it there. Sure, even the local Pep Boys will change your lamps and batteries, but service is getting harder to find. As I recall, they all give free car washes every time you drive in for whatever little reason. And all the local showrooms have pastries, daily newspapers, and free internet access. It doesn't sound like much. But it's leaps and bounds beyond a bad dealership experience. I guess the difference is when the local dealerships are actually independently owned, and the owner cares. If they want another $30K of my life savings the next time I'm ready to buy another car, they better not try to charge me $99 for changing a fuse. -
