    Replace IAC or MAF??

    MAF issues Does anyone know which places take back MAF's? Carquest, Autozone, Checker, NAPA? I have 171 and 174 codes that come back immediately after clearing. They do not return when the MAF is unplugged. Is this really an indication that the MAF is bad?

    02 XLS Rear Speaker problem

    Yes. It is straight Kenwood harness to Ford connector. No amp. I am pretty sure that the 02 XLS did not have an amp or sub. The three RCA cables ran from behind the radio into the carpet on the passenger side of the console. I have not found the other end. If someone had installed an...
