jm98 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) My original plan was to take US 395 between I90 - I40 via Band OR. But it was too tight for my travel time-frame. I took US 93 instead and was able to enjoy NFL games on the route casinos. Edited December 4, 2021 by jm98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I took the 395 from LA to where it crosses the 20 in OR (Stayed in Lakeview) , went west from there to Bend, then south on the 97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjewel Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 My 2014 hybrid has 165,000 on the odo. All troublefree miles. Until NOW. Problems with pano roof and not the console controls are whacked.

The console/audio control issue is most likely due to a failing/failed FCIM (Front Control Interface Module). It is not an unknown issue. The FCIM will need to be replaced or rebuilt. Keep us updated and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjewel Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Thanks for that. Yeah probably need that. Can u tell me where it is located in the vehicle. I heard that it is no longer available? That would suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are companies/individuals who rebuild/refurbish the FCIM's for far less than that. Some will rebuild yours. You ship it to them, they rebuild it and ship it back to you. Others will sell you a refurbished one. Members here and on other forums have replaced theirs in that way. You may want to check around for one of those companies/individuals. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjewel Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I will certainly look into that. Concerned now about getting it out without screwing up my dash. Downloaded a ford service app but haven't gotten it to work. Yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded a ford service app but haven't gotten it to work. Yet? Hi heyjewel. Here is a video demonstrating how to disassemble the center console and center stack area. While the instructions are aimed at upgrading MyLincoln Touch to SYNC 3 (something you may want to think about), following them will also allow you to access and remove the FCIM. Keep us updated and good luck. Edited July 20, 2023 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjewel Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Wow thanks for that, bb. So the screen and brain is what would be sent off for repair? I'd need to buy a new one if I want to change to Sync 3? What advantages are there to 3? Next, please post the procedure to remove the pano roof sunshade! ?

That would possibly be the case if repairing/replacing SYNC (according to the underlying issue, of course). In your case, it would seem you need to replace/repair the FCIM/control panels for the audio and climate controls which are malfunctioning. The advantages to SYNC 3 are numerous. It is faster, more reliable, etc. etc. etc. It may be easier and you will find more information if you Google "SYNC 3 versus SYNC 2", "Advantages of SYNC 3 over SYNC 2" and other similar phrases. Let us know who you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjewel Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Ah yes my problem is with the volume control. Though sometimes it affects other functions. So fix would be applied to the electronics behind the black plate below the screen. Must be the FCIM. And I'd either send that or the complete bezel to FCIM repair shop. If I would upgrade to Sync 3 now would be the time so I'd order new sync. I wonder how many mkZs are in boneyards around here. I wonder if Fusions have same hardware. Best to you.

heyjewel Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Just to get some closure on this topic - * I bought a service manual DVD and can now see what I need to do. * The FCIM problem(s?) are intermittent. The volume goes crazy sometimes. I found somethin that helps. Turns out the MyKey function can limit the maximum volume. Perfect cause when the volume randomly hit max it was blowing my ears out. Has worked so far. * Sunroof shade issue. I've found I can 'jog' the shade closer to closed by momentary pushes of the close button. Now I have to schedule a time to pull down the headliner and fix that shade somehow. Thanks for all help and advice I got here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
