Default Mr Ford, the man who wasn't there?

The title refers to a Cohen brothers film, 'The man who wasn't there' check it out on putlocker.

?Fact 1: Ford dealers are independent from Mr Ford.

?Fact 2: Ford dealers get information from Mr Ford.

?Fact 3: Mr Ford doesn't provide technical information to the customer.

Look in the Mondeo forum on battery management reset if you like to follow.

Good movie anyway. Checkout the Cohen brothers filmography on wikipedia, The Big Lebowski and Barton Fink are better.

They are also on the putlocker.

I was going to explain but it would spoil not so much the plot but the movie.

There's a movie by the brothers out now in cinemas 'Hail Caesar'. Haven't seen it.

Yes you can change the battery and drive off as I have during the last 40 years. Times have changed, and the Mondy has so-called 'Smart Charge', which means the PCM or some other ECU is watching and controlling the battery charge. The question is very simple, does this system need resetting when the battery is replaced or not?

I don't care too much about it, just the lack of credible information.

Gas,

I'm a little less forgiving than you.

Rondeo is just building his post count with this rubbish. I'm not clicking on links to find out what you are talking about. Cut-and-paste the text into your thread.

If that’s the case then deleting his posts is the quickest way to put a stop that sort of nonsense and it’ll also put an end to stuffing up the Forum with rubbish comments.
