[QUOTE="Keshka, post: 1912733, member: 59199"] Last week I started getting a "Drive modes not available, service required" error on startup. Using Forscan I was able to determine a communication problem with the left front shock. On inspection I found the shock control wire was rubbing against the CV joint boot and had worn the cable in two. This is an item on the "what to check upon delivery list" and I know I had done it at the time. What I think happened is the wire stay that plugs into the bottom of the shock had fallen out, alowing the cable to drop. While waiting for Ford to send a new cable I removed the LF tire and soldered the wire back together, taped it and drive modes are back to normal. After the new cable is installed, I am going to make sure that cable stay is secure. It looked like it's just pushed into a milled detent in the bottom of the Fox shock and could easily fall out with age. If so I plan on applying some 3M Black Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive, 08008. That should make sure it does not fall out. [/QUOTE]
