I got a question my wife has Ford. Fusion and it had steering recall her daughter took it to Ford they would do it because it was working. Know power steering stopped working and they won't do it. They said to many miles well we brought it when it had low miles and yall refused (not you) to do it. So know we just stuck with no power steering they did the airbag so why can you do one and not the other.
Unfortunately it has to be a concern present at the time or codes present to warranty it, if it's out of warranty nothing can be done Call Ford corporate and ask to speak to the crc department and let them know what's going on

They were no help- just told me it passed the 10 year warranty (which I already knew). They said I could write a hand written letter to Ford Consumer Affairs to request some assist with the repair. I sent them a letter requesting assistance about 1.5 weeks ago. Do you think it’s worth my time to wait on them? Or just fix it myself?
@@FordBossMe the ford customer relations department is who told me there would be no assistance since 10 years has lapsed. However, they did say I could send the Ford Consumer Affairs department a hand written letter. Have you seen the Ford Consumer Affairs department assist in the past?
Could you tell what the recall number for this recall. I have a 2012 2.5 Fusion at the dealer right now , there telling me there isn't recall for the steering rack. We took it with a steering assist fault. there telling us it needs a steering rack.
My cousin had her steering rack replaced got the adtrack or whatever error thrown and is hearing noises when turning at slow speeds. Power steering went out again after rack replacement and front control arms. Recall hasn’t been looked into for hers but are these issues related if so how do the control arms, that error code and the power steering going out all have related?

hey bud i know this is a old video but i released the shaft it came completly out and now struggling to get the steering wheel straight it stays completly to the left or right side ... on a 2015 ford fusion ... how do i straighten the steering wheel through the shaft????? please help thanks
This is so frustrating especially when people should know better when they're doing this because this can create a huge problem if you didn't put that steering wheel back exactly the way it goes That's why I always tape the shaft up and I don't ever leave it Loose I don't even come close or give it an opportunity to do that because it is such a pain to line it all back up and make sure that it's right if you're not the one working on the vehicle
@@FordBossMe What happened is that i had to replace the transmission , therfore had to drop the subframe, forgot to unbolt the shaft and pulled the male end from the female end of the shaft. my question is does the shaft go back in to the female end with pressure??
It's pretty much the same process and if you're mechanically handy you can see if there's any additional things that have to be added to it but it's the same process
I have a 2011 fusion with 85,201 miles and my steering just went out and the ford dealer said sorry charlie you are out of warranty by 1 year of time and that sucks. why is this NOT a safety recall ???? I think ford should cover it because of the low miles.
@@FordBossMe I did call them and they said no sorry you out with time but I will keep trying. can I ask you this- it looks like you can remove the motor assembly on that rack and make the steering a little easier? or maybe swap out the electric rack for a rack out of a 2011 Fusion with a 3.5 that has regular steering and a power steering pump and piping from a 2008 fusion? thanks bro.
@@FordBossMe I wasted alot time talking to people (with no idea what they are saying other than saying NO) on the phone about this rack not covered by warranty- just as the air bag is covered by NO TIME FRAME that was my question and none of them had an answer for that question.

What would cause a grinding feeling after replacing the rack and pinion with a 3rd party part rather than the ford manufactured part. Manufactured part didnt have a warranty on it and it was 1,000 more hence why its a 3rd party part.
A helpful video, but you should really let folks know they should pull the rack out the passenger side. That way one doesn't have to fight getting it past the transmission. It's still a bit of turning, and finagling, but much easier.
So it was a helpful video but you told me what I should be doing more of instead of saying thank you.....wow.....Society!! There's an old saying don't look a gift horse in the mouth
A compliment followed with a friendly suggestion, along with an explanation. Trying be helpful, and sharing knowledge; nothing more. Decaffe yo, Decaffe 😉
I appreciate the help from the video, I also appreciate knowing that I should attempt to pull from the passenger side. I plan on tackling this tomorrow, hopefully I don't encounter any rusty, problematic surprises. Regarding the comment and the little mix up, I think this all comes down to the way it's written "The video is helpful, but you messed up by not..." is how it comes off, even though it likely wasn't meant that way. Written differently "Thanks for the video, it helped. When I did this, I found that removing it from the passenger side was significantly easier than the drivers side. If you were to add a little comment about that at the x:00 of the video, it might help people who don't read this comment in the future. Either way thanks for the help!"

I have a 2011 fusion with a 2.5 and was driving it and lost all PS. I scanned it and it threw a P07AE (Trans Friction Element G Performance /Stuck Off) and a U0415 (Invalid Data rec'v from abs module) . I cleared the codes and the power steering came back. When I accessed the live data, prior to clearing the code, the Motor current amp was stuck in the -24 range. The vehicle speed also read 62 MPH while sitting in the bay. What do you advise is the fix for this?
The power steering assembly can be up to like $1,600 and then you're talkin about another 3 to 4 hours of installation Max and that's at the dealer but if you go through an independent shop they could probably do much better than that maybe half the price of the part at the dealer
Anyone know where I can find a PSCM for 2011 Ford Fusion it's discontinued through Ford and my car is currently in the Ford garage they as well as I have been searching everywhere anything will help
Do you know where the ground for the steering column is? The ground for the steering column in that car transfers to the metal plate inside of the steering wheel. The ground wire for the harness inside the steering wheel screws into the metal plate in the steering wheel, transfering the ground from the metal plate to the steeeing wheel controls and clock spring. Just fixed a problem in my 2012 2.5 today where the radio steering wheel controls and wipers were operating eratically. Turns out the metal plate in the steering wheel would lose its ground when I turned the steering wheel. I just ran a new ground wire and it fixed the problem but I would like to know where the ground wire for the steering column is so that I can go back and fix that wire.
The ground for that is down there on the actual steering rack assembly itself one of the screws that hold the shield the heat shield on the steering rack or were the actual sector shaft comes down and meets with the steering sometimes they will put it right there sometimes it's over by the connection going to the electronic power steering assist motor
This is about a three and a half hour job and then you talking the price of the power steering electronic setup so you're looking at about three and a half 4 hours so about 600 to $700 labor and then anywhere between probably $750 and 1500 for the part depending on what's available
What limits speed and radio volume is when somebody sets up a MyKey for like an additional driver and it basically limits the speed and radio volume and what you end up having to do is get the main admin key and have a second key made in order to wipe everything out so you'll have to go to like the dealership and tell them to cut and program two new keys and one of those keys is the admin key that you have so basically it's a safety function that somebody has turned on in the car and sometimes it can accidentally turn on when people are going through the menus the only way you can get rid of it is you need two keys and it has to be erased and reset watch my video in the library on the mykey function
@@FordBossMe what about lighting up the cluster?? And when i turn key 3 times to on position without start, it increases .1 mile?? Got lots of confusing stuff with my fusion...security keeps getting activated
@@FordBossMe thanks....another quick questions if you can...I had ford dealership fix wiring to fix security issue last April and 1 month later my pcu went out and my AWD fusion turned into front wheel drive, would wiring cause this? After new PCU installed?? My traction control notification and dang near everything lights up. Most recent caused it to activate security and indicated safe mode after I turned key real fast to bypass security system, and that's when steering became very tough, now same Ford dealer mechanic says its my PSM...which is hard to believe after they "fixed wiring" and "fixed PCU"...They quoted 3600 to fix power steering module but I'm iffy about it as that will make it just over 6500.00 in last 8-11 months for a car I bought for 7500
The next time I get one and I can do that but literally it's under programmable module installation and IDs or you can buy a program called for scan and you can get the doggle which is another fifty bucks so your $100 out of pocket and it's in the program
Well let's put it like this if the general person can do a job in 3 hours and that's the industry-standard but I can come along and do it and 1.5 and you pay 3 hours You're paying for an expert you're not paying for some Joe schmoe, when you have people that really really really good working on your stuff you pay for that just because I can do it in 1.5 doesn't mean you shouldn't be charged 3 I'm just good at what I do
I mean I could do it in less than 2 hours I'm just telling you what the average book time takes some people are better than other people and I could work circles around you I guarantee it and I'm a big dude but I've been doing this for a long time doesn't mean that I'm going to come to you and tell you hey man it only takes me an hour and a half so you should only be charged for an hour and a half that's why we have Labor books make sure that people pay a fair price but not get penalized for a guy being good at what he does
Don't forget to set the front Toe on the Alignment Rack

Do you know where the ground for the steering column is? The ground for the steering column in that car transfers to the metal plate inside of the steering wheel. The ground wire for the harness inside the steering wheel screws into the metal plate in the steering wheel, transfering the ground from the metal plate to the steeeing wheel controls and clock spring. Just fixed a problem in my 2012 2.5 today where the radio steering wheel controls and wipers were operating eratically. Turns out the metal plate in the steering wheel would lose its ground when I turned the steering wheel. I just ran a new ground wire and it fixed the problem but I would like to know where the ground wire for the steering column is so that I can go back and fix that wire.
The ground for that is down there on the actual steering rack assembly itself one of the screws that hold the shield the heat shield on the steering rack or were the actual sector shaft comes down and meets with the steering sometimes they will put it right there sometimes it's over by the connection going to the electronic power steering assist motor
Thanks
What do you normally charge
This is about a three and a half hour job and then you talking the price of the power steering electronic setup so you're looking at about three and a half 4 hours so about 600 to $700 labor and then anywhere between probably $750 and 1500 for the part depending on what's available
@@FordBossMecan you do the job if I already have my part?
Would this limit speed and limit radio volume??
No
What limits speed and radio volume is when somebody sets up a MyKey for like an additional driver and it basically limits the speed and radio volume and what you end up having to do is get the main admin key and have a second key made in order to wipe everything out so you'll have to go to like the dealership and tell them to cut and program two new keys and one of those keys is the admin key that you have so basically it's a safety function that somebody has turned on in the car and sometimes it can accidentally turn on when people are going through the menus the only way you can get rid of it is you need two keys and it has to be erased and reset watch my video in the library on the mykey function
@@FordBossMe what about lighting up the cluster?? And when i turn key 3 times to on position without start, it increases .1 mile?? Got lots of confusing stuff with my fusion...security keeps getting activated
@@Schwackem99 so some of those instrument clusters were bad and they needed to be replaced
@@FordBossMe thanks....another quick questions if you can...I had ford dealership fix wiring to fix security issue last April and 1 month later my pcu went out and my AWD fusion turned into front wheel drive, would wiring cause this? After new PCU installed?? My traction control notification and dang near everything lights up. Most recent caused it to activate security and indicated safe mode after I turned key real fast to bypass security system, and that's when steering became very tough, now same Ford dealer mechanic says its my PSM...which is hard to believe after they "fixed wiring" and "fixed PCU"...They quoted 3600 to fix power steering module but I'm iffy about it as that will make it just over 6500.00 in last 8-11 months for a car I bought for 7500
How about a video on the programming ?
The next time I get one and I can do that but literally it's under programmable module installation and IDs or you can buy a program called for scan and you can get the doggle which is another fifty bucks so your $100 out of pocket and it's in the program
Will dealers help with labor
Possibly but not likely
How much does that cost
The entire job is somewhere around 2500
What do u charge to do this?
The price of the steering rack is about $1,700 and then the cost of the labor is somewhere between $700 and $800
1 1/2 hrs but what you charge the customer? You a real mechanic or a rip off artist? Just kidding buddy good job and great info!
Well let's put it like this if the general person can do a job in 3 hours and that's the industry-standard but I can come along and do it and 1.5 and you pay 3 hours
You're paying for an expert you're not paying for some Joe schmoe, when you have people that really really really good working on your stuff you pay for that just because I can do it in 1.5 doesn't mean you shouldn't be charged 3 I'm just good at what I do
Amen brother! Not hating on you one bit. I do the same and I’m just a backyard mechanic.
FFS , I dint know fred durst fixed cars lmao
Damn Right
Ford should not have done this lol
I just took mine out in two hours
I mean I could do it in less than 2 hours I'm just telling you what the average book time takes some people are better than other people and I could work circles around you I guarantee it and I'm a big dude but I've been doing this for a long time doesn't mean that I'm going to come to you and tell you hey man it only takes me an hour and a half so you should only be charged for an hour and a half
that's why we have Labor books make sure that people pay a fair price but not get penalized for a guy being good at what he does
Wouldn't the 3.0 liter V6 basically be the same as this for removal and install ?
It would be different because the engine is bigger than the 4 CYL
Same concept yes
can this rack be replaced with a used unit without programming
I've heard of people doing it but then shortly after that six months a year later it failing
@@FordBossMe thanks!!
