It was one of the last hot days of summer. The car was parked in the shade and it was plugged in in the parking lot of the ZOO and I forgot to crack the windows and open the sunroof.So while the seals were swimming, I got my phone and tried to cool the car before leaving. All I got was an error message.
I tried to lock the doors. It worked. I tried to set the GoTime and the temperature. No luck.
It’s not the best app on the market. It is sometimes frustrating but it is definitely the only app for the Fusion Energi. It is a little bit confusing and many times all I got was an error message.
This time the error persisted for days.
The coolest feature of the app, the remote cooling was not working. I tried the heater too, but no luck.
I returned to my basic computer experiences determined by the Trinity of ALT-CTRL-DEL.
I updated the app.
I powered down my iPhone and turned it on after half an hour. No luck.
I signed out from the app and signed in again. Nothing.
I deleted the app and installed it and IT WORKED!
Later I learned that as a desperate fourth try I should have been doing the same thing with the car. Power down the car. Disconnect the car battery in the trunk. Seriously. Wait four minutes. Connect it again and reprogram every lost settings. (In case of C-MAX before trying this you can look for the fuse box under the glove compartment. Remove fuse F67. Wait two minutes. Reinsert the fuse and pray.)
Now I’m just wondering whether can we add a RESET button to our computerized cars.
