2011 gas Transit Connect, bad o2 sensor, won't pass inspection. Mechanic says he can't get it out, afraid of breaking it off. It's on the back of the engine someplace thats hard to get to, so he can't just put an impact wrench on it. Anybody here got any tips or tricks?

This time it was the lead from the battery to the engine compartment fusebox.

If I jump from the battery to the lead that runs down to the starter, the engine turns. Nice and strong. Doesn't start, of course, because nothing is on.

Or not. Down again. Full charge on the battery. Zero signs of electrical life.

It was the main battery cable.

Has anybody here tried relocating the window switches on a Gen1 up to the dash or somewhere sensible? My center console is usually buried.

Recently bought a 2013 XL. Been working on it, taking out the shelves, putting in a backup cam. The driver's side slider was chattering instead of locking, so I was working on that for several hours yesterday, all doors open. Finished up, parked it, hit the key fob to lock it and nothing. Truck was dead. Figured the battery was probably tired, and that one more start had killed it. Put it on the charger. This morning the charger says all good, but no response from the truck. No dash lights, no key-in-ignition buzzer, nothing. I jumpered it to the truck next to it, still nothing. I started the other truck, and theTC woke up. Dash, lights, start, run, all good. Drove it to a parts place to load test the battery, and the battery is good. Now what?
