Description of the problem | C0 detector went off on a 3hr drive on 08-18-17 with ac and air recirculation on. After opening the windows the detector stopped beeping. The detector is a glui cigarette-lighter powered device w/ two usb ports (https://www. Amazon. Com/gp/product/b01g2yj3zu) and has been installed in the center console cigarette lighter (facing the second row seats) since mid may. No other time has this alarm went off. At the time of the alarm the detector was partially covered with some fabric from a bag and the detector was warm to the touch. We were camping in a place with no cell service so we did not get a chance to contact ford/nhtsa. We drove home w/ the windows open. After coming back home i tried intentionally setting off the co alarm with a can of co. After warming up the detector by letting the car run i sprayed co into the detector but i was unable to get the alarm to go off again. It is unclear to me whether this was a false alarm from the detector or a legitimate issue with c0 emissions in the vehicle. There are not many active co alarms on amazon for cars, the glui one is the most reasonable one i've found. Any advice would be appreciated; i'll be contacting ford today as well. |
