Hi I think someone has mentioned this but curious if someone knows how to turn it on.

So transport mode if you don't know is a mode that will shutdown or hibernate the modules so your battery will drain much less I think the big ones is the module for sensing the door touches and if the keyfob is in radius.

Recently thought of this when I was driving a Jeep compass off of transport when it said it's in transport mode

I'm also going to try possibly pulling fuses to see if I can get the drain lower by testing with a volt meter see what's on and if I can remove it.
Also guess some modules can get locked up from going into hibernation mode so might be worth probing and seeing if Ford can do anything to help I hate needing to put the car on a charger. My subaru can sit without needing a boost for months and in -40f no garage and still turn over. This taurus sits for a week without being turned on and it needs a boost to start.


Anything you guys do when you leave your car garged for the winter?
Recently got a job detailing at the Dodge dealer.

Here is a history of my battery drain don't drive it far enough to charge the battery.

Seems like a battery tender is a MUST in your situation.  But the TM is intriguing.  If it can be easily done without wrecking anything, why not!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
