    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...

    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.

    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.

    Know where I can get an elbow pad?

    I purchased a set of two elbow pads for my 2011 Explorer from AMAZON. Search Amazon for ELBOW FRIEND AUTOMOTIVE BLACK. They charge $19.99 plus 4.95 shipping for a set of 2. I've had mine for about two years and on long trips they are great. They attach with velcro to the door arm rest.

    I have a 2011 Ltd with 33,000 miles and I recently had a problem inserting the fuel pump nozzle into the easy fuel filler fill pipe. I finally got it to open but I had to really push to get the filler pipe to open. Has anyone else had this problem?

    LED Reverse Light Upgrade

    I bought both the red and the yellow LEDs and I preferred the looks of the red ones. And it's true that the red LED brake lights do get bright they don't blink so they do not cancel out the turn signal. Also, these LEDs are very bright. Should I get rear-ended because of my choice I'll let you know.
