    Dome light questions

    I noticed yesterday that it is not always that it stays on. Could it have anything to do with the driving lights? Here on Iceland i have to have both front and rear light on at all time. So I always turn the light setting to on.

    License plate light part number

    I tried the local repair shop and they couldn't understand the three wires either... I think I'll have to go to a Ford dealership and see if they can help. Thanks for the help so far. :-)

    License plate light part number

    Do I need to solder them to the existing wires? The ones that are in the car have 3 wires coming to it. Do you know why?

    Dome light questions

    The light bulb was blown. I had never guessed that there was three bulbs in the light. Thanks. :-) This is our first American car and things are a lot different than the European and Asian ones we owned previously.

    License plate light part number

    Can anyone tell me the correct spare part number for the left side license plate light power cable? I need a new because the socket in is broken in the one I have. I also need the number for the light itself. A previous owner broke one of them..... My local repair shop tried to look up the...

    Dome light questions

    I have a couple of questions about the dome light in our 2007 Explorer XLT. 1. Is there anyway to disable the dome light in the front so it does not stay on for 30 seconds after I start the car, but still works when the doors are opened? 2. Is it possible to do anything so the middle dome light...

    Number plate light not working

    I thought i had to remove the interior plastic to get to where the wire is connected. Is it enough to remove the one outside?

    Number plate light not working

    I went to the local repairshop who have access to the Ford Catalog but the one in the catalog is not the same as the one on the car. It seems I need to get the old ones out and so I can compare to the ones they think is the right ones. How do I get the plastic off the rear door? There are only...

    Number plate light not working

    I noticed today that my number plate lights didn't work. I have change the bulbs and checked the fuse but still no lights. The parking light works fine. Any good ideas? Also the rear viper is dead. Are these in anyway connected?

    Sudden change in fuel consumption.

    Refueled today at another station that sells octane 98. Still the same.

    Torque OBD comparison

    I have the Torque app on my (Chinese made unnamed) head unit. But can anybody tell me what readings is normal for a 2007 v6?

    Sudden change in fuel consumption.

    I noticed something today when I was out driving. If I'm driving e.g. 35 mph and let go of the gas pedal the throttle is (according to Torque) still around 18-19. But when I come to complete stop it drops down to around 15-15.5 Is this normal?

    Sudden change in fuel consumption.

    I calculate it my self. I always reset the trip when I refuel. The dashboard normally stands around 14 l/100 but is now at 18. And jumping a lot up and down where it used to be steady. The number on the dash is not far from what I calculate my self.

    Sudden change in fuel consumption.

    Here on Iceland we use octane 95 normally, but I do know that it's not the same quality as for example Germany or Denmark. I tried resetting the calculator but it is still the same.

    Sudden change in fuel consumption.

    I think we will drive it almost empty and then fill it up somewhere else than normally first. If that doesn't work then I have to take it in to the dealer. :-/

    Sudden change in fuel consumption.

    About 1000 miles ago it had a large service: plugs, wires, oil and a bunch of filters.

    Sudden change in fuel consumption.

    Our v6 is all off a sudden using a lot more fuel an normally. From 14 l/100 km to 18 l/100 km (roughly 16.8 to 13 mpg). It happened after we refueled at our normal gas station. Only difference from normal driving is that we drove about 20 miles with a 3000 pound pop up camper. There are no error...

    Buying 2010 V6

    The chrome on our 2006 has starting to go. We also had a lot of misfire, but new plugs solved that.

    Service Iceland

    I'm actually Danish but living in Iceland. ;-) But yes that was some very good games. When the match vs England was played 99% of the tv that was watch in Iceland was that game. ;-) and we do have more than one channel. ;-) Almost in every city/town there where big screens during all the matches.

    Service Iceland

    Just got our 2007 Explorer v6 back from the workshop after the first service while we own it. It needed a little more than an oil change: Engine oil and filter, transmission oil and filter, diff oil, air filter, spark plugs and new cables (don't know the correct word in English) ;-) A little...
