My work car is a 19 Fusion SE Hybrid. I put like 50k per year on it running between Jacksonville and Tampa and I kinda love it. It’s a boring appliance but it’s quiet, comfy, has radar cruise, and gets like 42mpg average. It’s the ultimate commuter car.
Master key code is on a sticker on the fuse box under the driver side dash. Takes body contorting and a camera or mirrors but it’s there and it will work to get the doors to work.
Seeing uploads from you always brightens the day, JR. But please don't overwork yourself, especially if your back is injured. Take time to rest and heal. I hope you get better soon!
Some of those hybrid systems use the pancake assist motor as a starter motor for the ICE engine, in that case you'd need the hybrid pack to make it turn over since the 12v is just used to keep the CANbus active. Pretty interesting tech, those pancake motors act as an assist, regen, and starter all in one.
I feel for you as I have crushed a vertebrae and had it fused and that was in 93 and I am having problems again at 59. All of the previous said I had a hard life military and later going back to Security in Section 8 and hospital led to even more issues. I hope you don’t have any of the issues that I have experienced, praying for you.
We owned a 2017 Fusion Hybrid Titanium (not the Energi). We absolutely loved that car. FYI, it doesn't have a conventional starter in it... It uses the transmission internal generator to spin the input shaft, which then turns the flywheel through the damper to start the engine.
I owned a 2013 Energi SE a couple of years back. As you said, it was a great car to drive around. I averaged 38 MPG during my commute. The reason that I got rid of it was a family of mice made a summer home on top of the main engine harness and snacked the soy coated insulation. Insurance coved the repair, but the last thing that I wanted was PHEV with a potential wiring issue. I'd get one again.
I was a owner of two Ford Fusion cars, first one was a 2013 SE 1.6L model had it for 5 years 240,000 Miles then the transmission went out, I sold it and got another one 2019 Titanium 2.0L and loved it more power and fully loaded with everything. Right now, I have 171,000 Miles on it, and it is still like new change the Oil every 6,000 Miles and the transmission Fluid every 47,000 Miles. The car is still like new and runs great. Both of my Fusions were White and Tan interior.
Maybe I missed something, but how does a company agree to sell you a car then proceed to sell parts off of the car to other people and then refuse to lower the price?
In 2017 the top trim was the platinum. Only offered for 2 years from 17 to 19. Think the biggest difference was the sunroof and leather trimmed interior. And yes, I love mine. Only reason I know these things!
Salvaging cars is nowhere as interesting as fixing a car. It might be more profitable, but I was hoping for house updates “the major concrete work you were going to have done to the foundation or quick mini-resort update. But I am just one guy and I don’t even have a channel
Thanks for the Fusion content!... 2017 Titanium EcoBoost owner here. Very underrated car - great cruiser, fast enough, good on gas, comfy and stylish. Dunno why Ford stopped making them, they're really good. I'd like to get a '20 MKZ next if I can find one...
Also a '17 Ecoboost Fusion owner. It's been a good car and a competent road tripper. It's the SE Luxury package - "Titanium Lite" - doesn't have Sony audio, cooled seats (heated, yes) and the pattern in the seat leather is different. From the outside the only difference is the SE badge instead of Titanium.
The only sedan they will continue to make is the Mustang, everything else is going to be a crossover SUV, SUV or truck in their lineup. They are getting out of the car making business, not enough profit vs SUV/Truck's. Really too bad because some people like a good cruising sedan for highway and better handling on the city streets. Guess Kia, Hyundai and Honda etc will fill that gap. I believe GM and Chrysler are also moving in that direction.
I have an inversion table, 15 minutes a day for a few weeks and i'm so much better. I get lazy and stop and eventually the pain comes back months later but it's a game changer for my sciatica. Reading your phone upside down though ...
I have a 2017 titanium hybrid fusion, not the larger battery energy, but it was nothing near $50k new. Sticker it was $31k. Still driving it, 100k miles now, but looks and runs great. Took it cross country from NY to CA doing Route 66. Did great except for the mountains in CO - it struggled a bit, but comfortable car. And mine has the moonroof.
Ford's higher trim level cars were pretty loaded with features. I bought a 2013 Ford C-Max SEL last year. I didn't expect it to even offer all the features it does for a 2013 Ford. I still love the Fusion look. I test drove a 2013 Fusion Hybrid but ultimately decided on the C-Max for what I needed it for at the time, though if I do get a replacement car in the next couple of years I will probably go with a Fusion. I wish we got the Fusion wagons in the US though.
I have a 2017 Lincoln MKZ hybrid and its been the best car i've ever owned. It's one of roughly 5000 made for that model year, not many of them around.
Had a fusion hybrid rental car. It felt to me like the whole hybrid system is an after thought partly because there was a noise whenever the car was doing highway speeds on electric mode, but mostly because that battery occupied most of the trunk space. And somewhat because every time I shut it off it thanked me for driving a hybrid. I did get over 50MPG on it though.
I just had 2 disc's replaced in my back this week. I know the pain well. Still dealing with for now hopefully. I suggest you get it fixed before it gets worse.
Gotta make money for the new projects. That's what he is doing. I started watching because he was taking cheap cars and flipping them while he was still a IT tech.

Look in the owners manual on the glove box, there might be the code for the door key pad. if so when you use the code you hit at 34 to open other doors, 56 to open the trunk and when you want to lock the car you hit 78. That is how they worked back in the early 2000's.
at 2 minutes in. There looks to be a collection of old gas engines across the street. Looks like a place you should check out. They're no 110 case, but awesome.
The 6x9's are used as subwoofers.I used to have a 2017 with the Technology package. It came with power everything and a 10 speaker stereo system. It was a nice car until I traded it in for an F150.
I had a 2020 Ford Fusion SE as a company car. I had to get rid of it after a year. If I drove it more than 20 minutes my right leg would lock up and be in pain for days. 20 minutes in Atlanta traffic doesn’t get you very far. Perhaps if it was a higher trim the seats would have been better. Even if it just had adaptive cruise I think I could have done it. The constant on/off gas and brake is what did it I think. Felt weird to complain about a “free” car, but it wasn’t worth being in pain all the time.
So in 2017 and 2018 the highest spec for the fusion was actually a Platinum. I had a 2017 platinum fusion energi. Very nice car. Pretty much a Lincoln MKZ with ford badging.
@@williamegler8771you are correct. The reason I said that is because when the fusion came out in 2013 as a plug in hybrid there was talk that ford was going to make a plug in MKZ as well. They never did. The MKZ was only ever available as a hybrid or a regular ice vehicle. So I said that because when the fusion came out with the platinum trim for those 2 yrs it really was like driving a Lincoln.
Even without the hybrid battery this is going to be interesting. When I was last in the market for a car (spring 2016) I rejected an electric car quickly (nowhere to plug it in at home was a non-negotiable non-starter) but looked closely at hybrids, including Ford and Toyota. With most of my driving on the highway I concluded a hybrid wouldn't have that much of an advantage and bought a VW Golf. If I was to buy a car now I might decide differently.
JR buy a couple of cheap keys and use your forscan to program them and the car has a regular starter motor so no need for the hybrid battery to start it then you can sell the ecu with keys for more money and make sure the motor and gearbox work even more money if they do a couple of cheap keys maybe 50 bucks but the reward is even more cheers from down under
Fyi thats a base model Titanium Energi. In the US you can get them missing a lot. In Canada Titanium Energi came with sunroof, heated &vented seats and more standard. Ive owned a couple of these
I'm excited to see what you think of this car as I have a 2019 Fusion Energy Titanium. Surprisingly it does not have the auto parking option. I do appreciate the driving aids and the superb fuel economy especially in three season driving. Love mine, but it has under 60 000 km, under 40 000 miles.
I get making money, makes sense. Looking for some updates on the lake house. And some insight on what ever happened to the crawler you had forever ago…..it just vanished.
My Hybrid Escape starts from the hybrid battery not the regular car battery because the starter is inside the trans evidently uses the electric motor as a starter because where the starter would go on a regular car there is none
Whatever happened to the black Mustang ragtop you were working on earlier in the year and did Ford ever fix you r girlfriends Focus with the trans problem under warranty?
Man back thing hurts. I popped mine just putting a plate into the dishwasher. Was instantly flat on the floor and done for a couple days. Any little thing can do it.
Hey JR, I’d recommend seeing a physiotherapist and/or chiropractor asap. The older the better, as they probably have more experience. I had a few weeks in December with a lot of pain caused by my Psoas muscle. Now I do a few stretches a day and I’m good as new. Keep grinding ❤
The salvage yard turn for the channel will be interesting to see how it goes. I get trying something new to try and boost views. I really enjoy watching you fix up cars that wouldn't otherwise have a chance at running again if left alone. I'd assume others feel this way as well. At any rate, I hope you get healed up soon, and the ad revenue pushes you back to working on cars again.
@@WatchJRGo yeah. That’s what I would have thought as well. But I’ve had 3 different ford hybrids and that how they do them. Maybe cheaper since it has an ice to create vacuum sometimes. 🤷♂️ love the content bro. Keep it coming. 😁
@Astrand1 One of Toyota's big fails with their hybrids is a persistent reliability problem with their electric abs/brake system. They die all the time in gen2 to gen3 Priuses, and Toyota rakes in $600 - 1500+ bucks for just the (slightly updated) parts to repair their unreliable design. There have been some warranty extensions on them, but for my older model Prius customers, it's a huge expense that can happen at any time.
friend of mine has no clue about cars - his parents picked up a new car and i asked him on the phone what it was. He just paused for a minute and said 'titanium' kinda confused. from that day i only refer to his parents Escape as the Titanium and always point out the lesser models when we are out on the town 😂 'se... not as fancy as barb and dave'. Titanium.. gut damn
Platinum is the best of the best. Titanium is the next lower spec. (2017 Titanium Fusion....I have a sunroof) Fuel door (like the mustangs) is a push to close/push to open
So this channel has become a "car parting out" channel. No more fixing broken cars to make them run again? No more fixing houses? This channel has jumped the shark.
Why is the depreciation of cars in the US so insane? A 2017 car would not be considered old here in Europe. My youngest car is 2012 and has 30.000 miles only...
Part of it is just how much so many Americans drive. 10k miles per year is average, so a 2012 model car could easily have 120K miles, double that if someone has a long commute or drives for work purposes. Out of the 4 vehicles in my immediate family I have the only one with less than 150K miles on it.
@@stevenreynolds2327 it’s a shame he was just breaking even on the fix em flip cars. They were fun. Yeah, the neighbors probably think something shady is going on at JR's place.lol
Wow so many salty comments about the salvage videos! I say keep them coming. But not toooo many as I don’t want parts car prices to start going up because of you JR :)
If ford is still using a licensed Toyota hybrid system then you've got two ev motors. One sandwiched between the engine and the transaxle. And one built into the transaxle. The one that's sandwiched starts the engine.
My work car is a 19 Fusion SE Hybrid. I put like 50k per year on it running between Jacksonville and Tampa and I kinda love it. It’s a boring appliance but it’s quiet, comfy, has radar cruise, and gets like 42mpg average. It’s the ultimate commuter car.

They don’t have a starter, they use a traction motor in the eCVT.
Very correct. Have 2013 cmax (same drive line)
Can you do some car flips? Maybe pepper them in? House flipping?
The hybrid battery is used to start the engine because there is no 12 volt starter.
yes
Will 2024 be the year when this legend reaches 400k subs 🙌🏼
The interior seems very much fantastic plastic. I figured the Ti trim would be a bit softer I guess.
Check under the back seat there's a section of the hybrid battery in the plug-in version there's two
Neat to see you tinkering with inexpensive cars again! Too bad about that battery!

The Sync 3 can be sold for around $1000. Lots of people are upgrading from Sync 2 to Sync 3.
It's worth about 300 tops ......it's not an upgrade kit and doesn't have factory navigation
