    Front and rear camera washer.

    Thanks for the help. No obvious leaks at either the front or rear spray nozzles. I'm going to try some compressed air and if that doesn't solve the problem I'll trace the rubber hose feeding those two nozzles to see if it has developed a leak. Ronn

    Front and rear camera washer.

    Recently drove our new 2018 Explorer Platinum from Denver to Salt Lake. After arriving in Salt Lake I discovered the front and rear camera washer no longer sprayed fluid on the camera lens. The regular windshield washers, front and rear, work fine. We did run into some snow and rain on the trip...

    2018 Explorer Sport with Adaptive Cruise

    My daughter just purchased a 2018 Expedition Limited and it has both Adaptive Cruise Control and Stop & Go. Loves the Adaptive Cruise, hates the Stop & Go.

    OEM Hankook Tires, Like or Dislike

    Recently replaced the Hankook's at 50,000+ miles with Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus. Never had a problem with the Hankooks. Quiet, smooth riding, and responsive under all road conditions. And Colorado roads can be a challenge. I've logged almost 5,000 on the Pirelli's and they are doing...

    Touch-up paint for aluminum wheels

    I went to PaintScratch.com and ordered a 2 oz bottle of Sparkle Silver M-6389 plus a 2 oz bottle of clearcoat. The paint was a perfect match for my 20" wheels. I still have over half of the 2 oz bottle and have used it numerous times.

    DRL (Daytime Running Lights)

    I've done this a few years ago also. Mine are still working. I went to page 84 of the owners manual and followed those instructions but also unscrewed two additional screws which allowed the headlamp assy to move a bit. Good luck

    High Mount Brake Light

    Anyone know if the high mount (third) brake light can be programed to flash, or pulsate, thru the vehicles' computer system, like you can turn on the DRL's? Or, has anyone installed one of those aftermarket devices to make it do that.

    High mount brake light

    Thanks for the information. First I have to find out where to splice into the high mount brake light wiring.

    OEM Hankook Tires, Like or Dislike

    I too have 40,000 miles on my tires with a 50/50 ratio of highway vs city driving and tire rotation every 5,000 miles. The tires have held up very well. At my last service I asked the dealer to take a close look at them as they are three years old and I wanted an estimate of how many more miles...

    High mount brake light

    I've noticed that on many of the new Explorers in my area that the high mount or third brake light pulsates. Is this something Ford has added to the newer Explorers or, are the dealers or owners installing the electronic switch that makes them pulsate? If any of you have installed this switch...

    DRL (Daytime Running Lights)

    When I had mine in for the MFT update last month, I asked my service advisor to have his tech turn on my DRLs using the amber parking lamps. They did it, no problem, and no charge. I had already converted these lamps to LEDs and the DRLs work and look great.

    Air intake hanging off chasis

    I have had mine drop off three times. I've had the dealer reinstall it after each drop. You would think Ford could come up with a good fix for this.
