    License Plate Light

    Thanks I ordered an original Ford part from Amazon. They are quoting a delivery date of October 26.

    License Plate Light

    From the pictures, that appears to be the wiring repair kit, which I already have & is not the bulb socket, which is what I need.

    License Plate Light

    I need help finding a source or part number for the license plate bulb socket. I got parts from my local Ford dealership, but not the socket. I received the light assembly that the bulb goes into and the wiring repair kit (pigtails & electrical connector) that the bulb socket plugs into, but...

    License Plate Light

    I'm having issues with the left license plate light on the tailgate of my 2016 Explorer Sport, I've tried multiple bulbs, both incandescent and LED, and it will not light up unless I apply pressure on the end of the bulb, which I can't do when the bulb is installed into the light lens and the...

    Music on Memory Stick

    O.K. I converted my music files to AAC and loaded them to a 256gb USB Memory Stick that I formatted to FAT32. Just tried it in the garage & my Explorer was able to play a song from the memory stick. I will be leaving on a week's ski trip to Telluride, CO that will be around 900 miles round...

    Music on Memory Stick

    If I remember correctly, a Mac can format a USB drive in either Windows or Mac formats.

    Music on Memory Stick

    Thanks Michael. I'm away from home at the moment, but will try that after I get home.

    Music on Memory Stick

    I have a 2016 Explorer Sport. Up to now, I've been using an Apple iPod that is dedicated to this vehicle for my in-vehicle music. It appears as though the iPod's battery is starting to fail, as it won't last more that a couple of days of the Explorer not being driven without getting a "low...

    A9 SD card

    I also got a letter from Ford & ordered the A10 Nav Update. Hopefully A10 will have my street & home on it. A9 didn't.

    A9 SD card

    I'm waiting for the next update (A10?). I moved into a new development in June, and my street is still not in the A9 update, let alone my house number on the street. But then Google Earth shows my home in the middle of a pasture and Apple Maps shows the roads graded, but no pavement or houses...

    A9 SD card

    Thanks Guys. Checked the card itself & it says A9, so I already have the latest & greatest... Mark

    A9 SD card

    So A9 is the latest release? I just received letter from Ford saying that my Navigation system needs an update. I updated my Nav Data Card back in May, 2018 prior to a cross country trip in June (moved from NJ to CO). I haven't gone out to check the card yet, but Packing Slip shows...

    Parking Lot "Crunch"

    I agree, but she is an idiot for: 1. Parking too close, as you mentioned. 2. Not knowing what a Parking Brake is.

    Parking Lot "Crunch"

    I always thought that was the best line in the whole movie (meanwhile, water & fish are pouring out of the just opened Porsche doors).

    Parking Lot "Crunch"

    Make that: I guess that she never saw Risky Business

    Parking Lot "Crunch"

    Just came back from a trip to Home Depot & lunch at a local Panara Bread. I pulled all the way through a parking spot to the adjacent spot (so that I don't have to back out when I leave), put the tranny into "Park" & set the parking brake as usual. I get out & while I'm zipping up my parka (hey...

    2016-17 Sport / Platinum Exhaust Tips

    I'm a little confused. Are these for a 2016 or a 2017? You mentioned that they didn't fit. Were you trying to put them on a 2016 or a 2017? Mark

    2016-17 Sport / Platinum Exhaust Tips

    The only chrome on the back of my 2016 Sport (I believe the only exterior chrome on it) are the 2 exhaust trim outlets, which I would prefer to change out. I'm trying to figure out my options on these. I guess that I could just remove them, but I believe that it does look better than having just...

    2017 Explorer Crash damage

    Took off on foot - In a tunnel??? Seems to me that he as only 2 directions to run. How far was it to either end of the tunnel?

    Electronic Flasher for LED Upgrade

    So, in order to cure the hyper-flash if I decide to replace my turn signals with LED's, I will need to download either Bootcamp or Parallels to run on my MacBook Pro, get a copy of Windoze (that should tell you how happy I am about that...) download a copy of Forscan, and what else? How does...

    Windshield Cracked / Replacement

    I'm aware of that. I even had my BMW take a look at it while it was in for the Tacata (sp?) Airbag Recall. They even tried a new sensor, no help.

    Windshield Cracked / Replacement

    My Explorer does not have rain sense, but my 2003 BMW 325xiT does. Had to have the windshield replaced a couple of times on it. The first time, no issues. I had gone to a local company & they replaced it in their shop. The second time, I had Safelite come replace the windshield in my driveway &...

    Courtesy Wipe & Reverse Wipe

    I just looked through my PDF version of the Owner's Manual for my '16 Sport & didn't find it in there.... My 2003 BMW Wagon has it & I like the feature.

    Switched fuse for dash cam in 2016 Explorer

    Hi, I had saved this thread earlier in the year when I was first thinking about installing a dashcam. It appears as though the You Tube videos that you had linked to are no longer attached to the current thread, but I had the links on my saved thread, and it saved me quite a bit of time finding...
