    Mirror, mirror on the wall ........mirror motor fails

    So today, w/o warning the right mirror malfunctions. Dealer checks it. The motor is toast. (mumble) None in the TX region. It is coming from the hermit kingdom I guess. Oh well, such is life.

    Map update

    So how often does Telenav push out updates? Based on the roads I drive, the current version is several years old. It has me driving through several stock ponds where in fact the road is paved. It is also showing as paved roads in my county ones that are actually unpaved field roads. :rolleyes:

    Ford just announced 0% for 72 mos in the TX market. Covers the entire enchilada. To bad I can't take my clear title to the dealer and take advantage of this offer. :angryfire:

    Check your nuts ........... Seriously !

    There are two black, 10mm flange nuts, right and left side that screw to the studs mounted to the small lip spoiler over the rear hatch glass. The left one fell off when I raised the hatch earlier today. The right one was finger tight. :rolleyes: Needless to say, both are now installed with...

    Audio Upgrades

    My plan once BestBuy reopens their audio install dept. is to replace the stock speakers. As I can't afford a driver, I will start at the front and work towards the back as funds allow.

    Ford Splash Guards

    Ordered from Benny at Levittown last week. They came today. It started raining just as I finished the rear install. EZ to do. You will need a 7mm short socket to remove four self tapping hex head screws with flange washers. I hand tightened the top first then installed the bottom inside. Then...

    Center Console 12V Power Source

    Not covered in the OM. Is it constant on or, is it tied to a timer so as to cease functioning after the ignition is shut off ? When asked, sales peep had the classic deer in the headlights look. Mike

    LED Turn Signal Mod

    If you have done this or, are considering doing this, take into account the following: 1) The LED replacements on the market are not DOT approved. Installation in all states (I checked) is considered an illegal lighting modification. Class C Misdemeanor level. 2) The OE bulbs are brighter. They...

    Dana Safety Supply

    I spent some time this morning at the new install center. Huge is an understatement. It is divided into two sections. One side is being set up as a distribution center for the SW. The other half is for vehicle installs. They do the entire enchilada here. From lights to decals, radios, etc. They...

    Puddle Lights

    Inquired at the same three dealers ......... Puddle lights are married to the BCM. Unplugging will cause a code issue and CEL. Nor, can they be turned off using the IDS tool. Time for black nail polish ............
