Problems with Ford B MAX 2017: Weak battery and flickering lights - looking for experiences and suggested solutions

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2015 Ford C MAX petrol car, I have a bit of experience with cars but I'm not a professional. At my garage, they explained to me that the emergency battery was already completely discharged and I paid 110 euros to have it fixed. Is your B MAX still under warranty? Are all the lights and electrics still working well? With a little more information, I might be able to help you better.

Hi, thanks for your insider information. Unfortunately, my warranty has expired and the electrics generally seem to be ok. I last had the car inspected at 136652 km and everything was fine then. I will probably have to make a short stopover at the garage. Thank you!

No problem, we car enthusiasts have to stick together! At my garage, the replacement of the emergency battery worked well and the problems you describe didn't occur again afterwards. However, it is always advisable to get several opinions and be sure before you spend any money. The price also seems to be within the norm, depending of course on where you live and which garage you choose. If the overall electrics are otherwise okay, I would tackle it next. Good luck solving your problem and feel free to report back on how it went!

Sure, I'll be happy to report back. Really nice of you. Your experience and advice are worth their weight in gold. Thanks again for taking the time. I'm going to visit my garage tomorrow and talk to them about the emergency battery. Hopefully that will solve my problem. Keep your fingers crossed! See you then!
