A battery tender would be good for you. They are cheap and will keep your battery happier longer.
Grabbed one of those, then connect the positive to the positive battery terminal, and the ground to the strut stud. Works great....
If you are near or belong to Costco - 
Every 30 months it lasts - I bring the old one in get whatever credit and swap it.
i set a reminder in my phone, if it lasts 30 months, claim its defective and get a new one for that price.

I’ve never heard of an AGN battery. I’ll make sure to get one when this one needs replacing. I dropped the car off tonight at the dealer so we’ll see what they say.

Did you have the FCIM replaced?
No.

So the dealer has said the new FCIM is bad. They determined that by running the same test on the original FCIM. Should get back next week. Wonder if what they got was a refurb that was not. do they still make these parts or have new "old" stock i wonder.
Sorry to dig up an old thread. I think I have a used FCIM on the way, finally. I can't seem to find who is repairing these in my searches here. I'd like to send the replacement off to be repaired so that I am only changing this out once. Any place you chaps can recommend?
So the only way to get one is to find a used one?
I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to find a new one and have never been able to locate one. I paid for a used one that will need some refurbishing as a last resort. Assuming it shows up, now I just need to find the place that repairs them.
I'm still on the fence as to whether I want to upgrade the APIM and go with Sync3.x while I have it apart. I'm not sure what functionality I would gain for the $ vs. what I actually use the car for. I generally just use my phone for navigation and music. But I NEED the freaking climate control to work reliably.
Understood
What's the part number? I want to make sure I find the right one. And did you order the module or the interface, I'm assuming the module. I'm thinking of replacing both. And I'm interested in any updates you have whenever you have them.
I purchased the panel itself. All roads point towards a short in one or more capacitors being the issue. I'm going to look at the replacement and see if I can detect a burned/defective capacitor and MAYBE fix it myself.
Ford sells these at over $500, they send them to a reman facility and when I was asking about specifics they had absolutely none. I ended up going with a $80 ebay junkyard unit and my hvac has been perfect since.
The one guy on YouTube that repaired one of these said he was not interested in taking in mine to experiment with and possibly repair.

That's the route I'll be going
