    Mystery Message in message center.

    The message popped up today on my way into work this morning and I got it on camera. Just looked at it frame by frame after I got home. It pops up so fast that the other text like the "x.. miles to E" doesn't have time to fade away and ends up being combined messages. I was able to decipher it...

    Thanks for the idea. If you mean the system check by pressing the setup button then reset, I have done that. Everything comes up OK except it says the washer fluid is always low from a bad sensor/connector, and always a tire pressure monitor fault on account of I don't have any sensors in my...

    Mystery Message in message center.

    Thanks all for the ideas/suggestions. Update on the situation: I now have an el cheapo dash cam rigged up pointed at the message center in hopes to catch it happening on camera so I can play it back to see what it says. Of course it hasn't happened again since I posted this but when it does I'll...

    Mystery Message in message center.

    Thanks for replying. That is what I kind of thought. Is there a way to determine which door/liftgate switch is bad. Since it is only intermittent I feel I could end up chasing it for some time before I replace the right one. Unless I just change them all at once, which I think I would like to...

    Mystery Message in message center.

    Hi I've got a 2005 xlt 4.0 (170,000 mi) that has an issue with an unknown message popping up on the message center. What happens is while I am driving I hear the little warning beep from the message center and when I look down to read what it says I can see some message going away on the...

    I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I just ran into the same problem when trying to do my seals. Did you ever figure out how to get it off of there?

    4.0l Rough idle code p2195

    I have a 05 xlt 4.0 with a little over 145,000 miles and within the past few days it developed a rough idle. This morning the service engine soon light came on and I took it to Mr.Tire to have them get the code. They got code p2195 for an O2 sensor stuck lean. Bank 1 sensor 1. Any ideas on how...

    05 xlt message center "TEST"

    So my battery was dead last night and I had to put it on the charger. I started it up and let it run for 20 or so minutes then shut it off and let it sit overnight. Come this morning I go to start it and when I turn the key to the run position I notice the voltage was on the low side not dead...
