    2005 Mountie rear door power window?

    I have a rear door power window that will not go up. I replaced the driver control switch and the motor, to no avail. Out of desperation I switched the polarity at the motor and the window went up smartly. Any ideas on where to look now? I've been told that there is likely a break in the up...

    Door hinge

    The bottom hole is behind the black tape patch. I used a 1/16" bit on both holes.

    Door hinge

    Not to worry. The remedy is cheap and easy.

    2006 Limited overhead console?

    I asked this question before but did not get an answer. Hard to believe that no one has this knowledge. This time I will include a picture. The passenger side light is intermittent. You cannot get to the bulbs thru the lens, you need to pull the console off the ceiling. I have tried, using...

    '06 front overhead console map light lens removal?

    I got a set of HF plastic trim tools that let me slide in between the console rim and the headliner fabric, then pull downward. I put a fair amount of tug on it from the back end near the corners but nothing popped loose. I am really afraid to yank any harder on it.

    '06 front overhead console map light lens removal?

    The passenger side map light does not come on when you press the switch. I assume the bulb is burned out. How do you remove the lens to get access to the bulb and socket? I've tried a 'search' to no avail.

    Early vs Late 3V V8 heads?

    Does anyone have a link to a cut-a-way picture of a late 3V head where Ford eliminated the sticking spark plug issue? In the following YouTube, about a 1/4 or so thru it, they show a very good cut-a-way of the earlier problematic head. It would be nice to see what Ford did to remedy the...

    What model year did Ford fix the sticking sparkplug ground tube issue. Was it in 2007 or 2008? This was for the 4.6 V8.

    2006 Limited 18" wheel construction?

    Do you suppose the 'skins' are removable/replaceable?

    2006 Limited 18" wheel construction?

    I have had my 2006 Ltd now for about a year and a half. I am just getting around to giving it a thorough detail. The 18" chrome wheels have a lot of grunge in the openings of the wheel, ie, road tar, dirt build up, etc. On close inspection, the wheel faces actually look like they are...

    2006 HVAC fan?

    I just noticed this yesterday. When first starting up the vehicle, it seems to take about a mile of runtime before the fan kicks in to its set speed. Is this normal or is something going on?

    2008 Explorer Drivers Seat Options

    I'd check with a local upholstery shop re: a repair. They could be way cheaper than the dealer and save you a lot of headaches on swapping out seats.
