Reads like #BraveNewWorld next level
Not pinball #repair today, but a car one. Every now and then I have a look at friends' car electronics issues and this one I had learned before. A Ford Focus would generate the weirdest diagnostics errors, but if you gave the cover over the dashboard a good whack and restarted, they went away until the next pothole. I have a #Ford Transit that has this specific dashboard and I had read up about the issue.
The massive connector will eventually shake these pins off the PCB and then cause really weird stuff to happen in its CAN bus. This one is so bad I didn't even need the magnifying glass to spot the problematic pins.
I reflowed them all and would you look at that, no more mysterious error codes!
undefined | Ford recalls nearly 423,000 vehicles over windshield wiper issue
Ford Motor Co. is issuing a recall for 422,613 vehicles because the windshield wipers may fail, a defect reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). A malfunctioning wiper can diminish driver visibility, especially in adverse weather, and increase the likelihood of a crash.
The recall covers several recent models: 2021‑2023 Lincoln Navigator and Expedition SUVs, as well as a range of 2022‑2023 Ford F‑Series trucks, including the F‑250, F‑350, F‑450, F‑550, and F‑600 Super Duty versions.
Ford plans to notify affected owners with a letter mailed on April 13, 2026. The letter will explain the safety risk and provide instructions for a free wiper replacement at any Ford dealership. The recall is identified as number 26S24.

qwant news | Weekend Round-Up: Tesla's Q1 Miss, Uber's Robotaxi Ambitions, Baidu's AV Safety Concerns, Ford's Bluecrui
This week’s tech and auto headlines read like a roller‑coaster. Tesla missed its Q1 delivery target, sending the stock down 5.4 % to $360.59 at market close, while former bullish shareholder Gary Black’s decision to exit his position last year proved prescient. At the same time, Uber’s chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi signaled enthusiasm for adding Tesla’s robotaxis to Uber’s platform, projecting that by 2029 the ride‑hailing service will operate more autonomous rides than any competitor.
Baidu’s autonomous‑vehicle unit encountered a setback when several Apollo Go robotaxis froze in Wuhan, raising fresh safety concerns that the company has yet to address. Meanwhile, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board blamed Ford’s BlueCruise driver‑assistance system for two fatal crashes, citing its failure to stop for stationary vehicles and its inability to detect driver distraction. These incidents underscored the growing scrutiny of autonomous‑driving technologies across the industry.
In aviation news, American Airlines is reportedly in talks with SpaceX to bring Starlink‑based in‑flight Wi‑Fi to its narrow‑body fleet, and the airline may also revive seat‑back screens. Neither party has commented on the negotiations. The roundup was compiled with partial assistance from AI tools and reviewed by Benzinga editors.
