Stoney871 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Two things- Is it a silver calcium battery. Is the alternator working properly. Sent from my SM-G900F using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
137699 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 There is a TSB article about flat batteries in 2006-2007 S-max's. Your car needs to go to ford for a software update - you will not solve it until this is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
