    Parasitic drain / Battery Monitoring

    No, that is good idea though. Thanks. On another note, I was able to perform the BMS test. It told me that my vehicle is not going to sleep properly AND that the wrong battery is in. It is expecting a 950/85 battery and what I have is 850/80. Is there a means of updating or changing the...

    Parasitic drain / Battery Monitoring

    Today's update: Got a multimeter with amp clamp and ability to switch between 20 amps and 2 amps max. (2nd one... first one didn't have enough precision as it was capable of up to 600 amps and no reset/zero/tare button). Here are readings on the negative battery cable. Time is after engine...

    Parasitic drain / Battery Monitoring

    @itsaguything - I realize that the reading while it is running isn't the actual battery voltage and is coming from the alternator. And that the reading immediately after engine shutoff isn't super valuable. I was just checking/writing down everything I could. Thanks though. I appreciate any/all...

    Parasitic drain / Battery Monitoring

    2026-01-12 update Auxiliary battery has been ordered and should arrive tomorrow. Exide EK151. Further research and chat says that could be a contributor to the electrical issues we've been experiencing as the auxiliary battery "covers" the difference in voltage at times? Not sure I totally buy...

    Parasitic drain / Battery Monitoring

    I've got some weird electrical stuff going on, so I figured (1) I may as well document it here as I go and (2) it's likely that I'll get some good input from all of you. We've had our 2015 LR4 HSE for at least 4 years and it has almost always given the low battery, start engine warning. Side...

    LR4 "Gearbox not in Park" - Dial shifter stuck in Drive

    Do you have a good test for this? My understanding was it was tied to the brake lights and if the brake switch was bad, your brake lights wouldn't work either.

    LR4 "Gearbox not in Park" - Dial shifter stuck in Drive

    Yes, because I'm not going ready to spend $1000 for a new one right now.

    Good news. Thanks! I may look for a used one then.

    LR4 "Gearbox not in Park" - Dial shifter stuck in Drive

    Anyone here replaced the TCS? Some of the other online content that I found states that it requires a "re-coding" which has to be done by a dealer. True? I also came across a service xemodex.com where you send it to them and they repair it, send it back, and it is then plug and play, no coding...

    Battery life

    OK, so what I gathered from all of that is switch out my battery to an AGM and then if still having the same behavior, look to replace the Altenator. Frustrating that the Auto Parts store wouldn't have the correct battery type in their system. My quick research tells me that PG stand up better...

    Battery life

    Rather than starting a new post, I'll resurrect this one. Purchased a new battery January 2, 2025 and it was installed into my (engine failing) LR4. Purchased an AC Delco 94R/PG - 800CCA. It then basically sat around until March 15 when our engine replacement was completed. Charged up the...

    2010 LR4 Air suspension need advice

    Ours will occasionally "settle" after locking the doors. Typically this seems to be to level out.

    Beep beep

    If the battery in key fob fails, there are three raised lines on the bottom side of the steering column. Hold the key fob up against these three lines and the key fob will be sensed and allow vehicle to start (even with no battery in fob).

    Beep beep

    Here is the behavior with our LR4. If the fob is anywhere inside the vehicle the door buttons will not lock the doors and the "beep beep". If the fob is outside of the vehicle all of our door buttons work as expected to lock the vehicle. Seems to me it is a feature to prevent you from leaving...

    LUX vs Vision package

    OK, good deal. So basically you can get either HSE or HSE LUX with about any mix of the options. lol Thanks for the clarification on all of that. Everything I can find based on VIN and documentation says our vehicle is HSE. I don't have premium leather, memory seats, nor center cooler. I think...

    LUX vs Vision package

    Is Vision package a thing or is that just describing that an LR4 has the 360 camera system? Our LR4 HSE has a lot (if not all) of the features listed when I search for what the LUX package includes with the exception of the center console cooler, the memory seats, and the premium leather. We...

    Fuel Related Issue at Start Up

    FOMOCO is Ford Motor Company. Interestingly enough, I've found other sensors, etc. in the LR4 are marked FOMOCO. Camshaft and Crankshaft position sensors were the latest that I discovered. Can't remember off hand some of the others that I've seen.

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    @Tapps33 - Correct, not (enough) time or tools. I looked for a few independents and most didn't have the tools or comfort level with the LR4. In the end I couldn't find any options other than a dealer. I tried reaching out to lostcauseranch, but no response... and I'm even a fellow Iowan. :(

    Bad ECM or something else?

    That's the same part # that I put in when I replaced.

    Auxiliary Battery

    What is the name of the ebay seller? Those links aren't working for me. I've run for 3 years with my auxillary battery disconnected, but I've always contemplated getting a new battery to get rid of the light. I wish there was a way to change the default to "off" or that it would remember the...

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    So as mentioned before, I'm getting the engine replaced. I'm going to ask if I can keep the old engine. Would that be odd or do you think they have some type of "core" cost already subtracted? I figure it never hurts to ask.

    2011 LR4 HSE Coolant Leak Help

    Do you have skid plates on the bottom side that could be making the leak appear to come from the driver's side when it is actually somewhere else? Until you said driver's side by the front axle it sounded just like the issue that I was having that was caused by the front crossover.

    Need some help from the experts to identify this ticking on a '16 LR4

    I have 2015 V6 and timing chains puked on me. Oil changes were @ 5000 miles. 130,000 miles

    2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts

    The chain was definitely loose. I was able to see and push it through the oil cap. This was the image that they said was the most telling. Here were the words of the service advisor, "On this you can see the gapping is off and there is a chunk out of the bottom piece" That and the sound it...
