Generally the problem is mostly just annoying. If I did not need the 'check engine' light off to get my SMOG, I would let it be. That being said, the radio turns off when the car is put in Drive/ Reverse and sometimes on braking. The problem normally stops after awhile. The general voltage of the vehicle is compromised also. Dim headlights that get dimmer after turning on anything that requires power. Fortunately, the 'Check Engine' light came on shortly after this problem began. After having a friend do a diagnostic, this code was received: "P1633 - Keep Alive Power Voltage Too Low" The way I hear it, is the only way to remedy the problem is replace/ reprogram the PCM (computer). Ford conveniently made the PCM difficult to reprogram. I am told only one of their certified mechanics can have it done. I have yet to find out how much this will cost. I am currently doing yoga in preparation for the major ass rap I am about to receive.
