2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid Questions & Answers
Hi
I have a 2011 Ford
Yes, there must be an electrical supply to the mirror, but it may only be a 5 volt supply, and you will have to split the mirror to test for it. The other thing is that with modern cars, any modification or addition to an electrical or electronic system has a good chance of blowing a very expensive chip somewhere. I would propose that you run a wire from the power point on the dash and try conceal it around the windshield somehow. Not as attractive as a hidden supply, but a lot safer and possibly cheaper in the long run.
My traction control lights on in my 2007 Ford Freestyle 3.0 and I want to know if there's a vacuum that hooks up to that where it's at
This could be two different issues. For the dash light get the vehicle plugged into an OBD scanner or a diagnostic system to check for Trouble Codes. These will give clues as to what and where the issue could be. Comment below with them and I'l try to help explain them.
Unless the problem is with the brake booster most traction control systems do not use a vacuum to operate it. It is usually a set of electronic sensors on the wheels that the ECU uses to monitor tyre grip.
As I cannot look at the car myself for that hose you will need to get a good mechanic to look at it. The vacuum hose could go to many things like the EGR system, the Turbo (if fitted) or possibly to the transmission.

This will sound a bit silly and obvious but have you tried a new battery in the transponder key? Sometimes the fix is that easy.
Have you had the vehicle plugged into an OBD scanner or a diagnostic system? Dashboard codes are commonly a bit vague about what the issue is. A Code 24 simply comes up as 'an Immobiliser issue' and thats all you get. The OBD scan will also tell you if there are any other issues with any of the other sensors on the engine.
Comment below with any trouble codes you get and I'll try to help you more.
