FordPass app and the Telematrix unit
Does anyone use the FordPass app with their motorhome and if so what data does it give you access to? I've been going around and around (long story) with the Ford dealer. I can't activate my 2021 via the app and was finally told the Telematic unit isn't active in all E-450s after being told my unit was bad. Again, a long story but I'm having trouble believing them. I swear I could activate and view data about the vehicle but at 6,000 miles it stopped working.328Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

If not TST they also have a 4 sensor kit with repeater and Monitor. Most systems are not interchangeable with other manufacturers. Ken It's the built in FORD E-450 system.518Views0likes0CommentsRe: Parasitic current draw on tow vehicle

That is just one reason why a clampon ammeter is so useful. Sounds like you meter is not working. Just tested my VOM fuses with my other VOM. Both were "OL". Operator error. I ordered new ones.909Views0likes0CommentsRe: Parasitic current draw on tow vehicle

It is how you are using it. 10A setting you must use the input marked 10A. On 10A setting you will have a very low current resolution of .1A at a time which will not reveal very low current draws. Your DVM should have a MA (Milliamp) setting (may look like 1000 (1000 is 1A), 100, 10) which has a higher resolution. That setting will use your normal DVM "Volt/resistance" input lead. Choose the highest range on the MA setting then switch down.. Have to very careful when using the MA setting as it is to smoke the meter.. Good to know.

My 2002 Honda CRV seems to lose its battery charge if it sits for a couple of days. The battery has tested good at both NAPA and at Autozone. I tried testing for draw with my cheap VOM by undoing the ground and running it in series on the 10A meter circuit, but it registered zero which isn't accurate since it draws some power for the clock, etc... I tried turning on the headlights and an interior light, I touched the VOM lead, and nothing. Nothing lit up. Is my VOM bad? It does measure voltage accurately however. This is frustrating. Looks like I will need to take it in. Is the allowable amp draw about 0.3 amps? thanks4KViews0likes19Comments
