If you're noticing too much battery drain on your 2016 Ford Explorer, the best solution is to inspect the fuse box using an electrical meter to find out if any components are consuming excessive electrical power when the vehicle is turned off. Numerous owners have reported facing this issue. Normally, a battery lasts between 3 to 5 years, but this can vary significantly based on factors like the battery's size, type, weather conditions, and how the car is driven. Major auto supplies retailers like AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts carry a wide selection of batteries. They can also put in your new battery for free, and offer free battery testing and charging services for automotive batteries.

Absolutely! When acid gases accumulate under the terminal, it corrodes the end of the terminal. Instead of the correct solution, the dealer who is not honest refuses to replace or sell just the terminal end, insisting on replacing the entire wiring harness. I managed to purchase a new terminal end on Amazon for $14, although it was a bit inconvenient, it resolved the problem. I have had enough of unreliable Ford vehicles!

I am experiencing a recurring problem with my car where the battery keeps getting drained, despite it being only 5 months old initially and then one month after that. I took the car to the Ford Service center, but they couldn't identify any issues, yet they still charged me $170. Two weeks later, today, the car has the same problem - a dead battery!
