Why am I on this forum? Just to point out the new X does not rise to the bar Ford set for it. Since we are discussing a review of it it seems to me all opinions should be welcome and discussed. If Bluetooth and on board nav makes your day you will be happy with it. I want a vehicle that...

I knew I would start a war with that post, but that is my opinion and I'm sticking with it.LOL If you are happy with it then by all means buy it. It is not my cup of tea. And as far as Iphones go I don't own one or want one.:) I have a simple cell phone that we use primarily on trips and...

I am not saying it won't sell, I'm sure it will, but it is not an X in the true sense of the word as far as I'm concerned. Ford set the mark for SUV's and it wasn't unit bodies and front wheel drive. I detest front wheel drive, if that was what I wanted I would drive a car with it that got...

The two most important things on the X was the rear wheel drive with four wheel on demand and the truck chassis it was built on. The 2011 X is a unit body and front wheel drive, neither of which is desirable to me. As far as I am concerned the new X isn't an X at all, it is just another...

X's did in deed have factory anti theft protection, mine has it. It may depend on what model X or Mountaineer you have but it was on at least some models. Mine works, I know when I set it off by accident. I had been under the hood and thought I had shut the hood tight. I locked the car and...

I had essentially the same problem you have. The problem was a dirty filter. The tranny would check full or even over filled but the dirty filter was causing the tranny to not get the flow of fluid it needed. If you don't know when the filter was last changed I would start there. Oh, and...

That is a serious short. It has to be something that doesn't go through a fuse or the fuse would blow and that eliminates a lot of things. What I would look for would be a shorted starter motor or something in the starter circuit.

That is dirt cheap, if that's what I priced from Ford they wanted $50 for it. Once you replace the cable put the truck in drive and adjust the wheel until the indicator is centered on D. Nothing to it.:)

If the cable is broken the only thing I know you can do is replace the assembly. How big a job that is I don't know, that was not my problem. The nylon bracket broke on mine and I was able to repair it without removing the whole thing. I'm not sure what the assembly consists of.

There is a loop in the end of the cable that goes over a lever on the indicator. Is it in place?

The picture on the right shows you where the power box is located with the fuses. The picture on the left shows you which two fuses to pull. My ABS light does not come on with the fuses pulled.

If you are looking for the door number keypad, that is located in the jack compartment of the truck. It is on the module at the front of the compartment and you may need a mirror to read it.

Normally a two door has a larger door. There is (or was) a two door here in Pensacola. If you can't find one I would assume they would ship it to you.

There is no difference in what filter to use for synthetic oil, but about everyone agrees to using the Motorcraft FL-1A filter.

Your front end alignment could cost you more than just the alignment if you have worn ball joints. Trying to align the front end won't be of much use if they are worn. I replaced my lower ball joints and upper control arms (you can't just replace the ball join in the upper control arms) and...

The only time I take the X to the dealer for service is if it's a recall. While independent shops are cheaper you have to be careful with them to. I was having a problem with my tranny and took it to a transmission shop and they told me it needed a rebuild. I didn't think so and checked...

I haven't had the problem and I don't know if you have to drop the headliner or not. I am wondering if you might be able to blow compressed air in the channel to clear it, but I don't know. You might also be able to pull the trim from around the seat belt and get to it. I just don't know.

There was a thread on that just the other day. I am assuming you have a sunroof as that is usually the problem. The drain channel gets stopped up with junk and the water leaks into the vehicle.

Since you don't have any service records I would drop the pan and change the filter. A dirty filter can cause problems, I know that from experience. If your fluid is red and doesn't smell burned you should be fine. It will take 5 qts to fill after replacing the pan. Add the last quart a...

There should only be power there with the headlights on and on low beam. It is possible the bulb is burned out on that little indicator light, but if it doesn't light I would check for power to the switch.

On my 95 they only work on low beams, I don't know about the 2001. Since you have checked the fuses does the little green light light up on the fog light switch when you turn them on? If not I would check the power to the switch, if you have it there you could have a bad switch.

I don't see why in any way it should cause a vibration, but it might help dampen a vibration somewhat if it were connected.

I don't think you can drill it without getting junk in the cylinder. I don't see anyway of getting it out without pulling head.

They are between the rubber and the outside of the door. You can't see it unless you look behind the rubber weatherstrip. I have one I know of that is at the very back of the door and it is a slot, not just a hole.

You can confirm or eliminate the ABS by pulling the fuses in the power box located under the hood. It's on the drivers side near the firewall. It will be two 10 amp fuses, but I can't tell you offhand which two it is. If with those fuses pulled the problem goes away then you have an ABS...
