Ok Im having a few problems and no luck with searching either. I have a 2006 Explorer Limited V* 4x4

1st:: I really really want to remove my 2nd row bench and put in buckets. Do any front seats work for that ? Do I need a certain year or anything . Also Does my 3rd row effect it ?

2nd:: I have a Bi xenon Hid kit and having problems with High beams , they wont turn on I just get an Error message. What Ive read is I have to swap wires around but that was for a different year then the 06-10 s.

3rd:: and I think last is My Reverse Lights don't work . Also just today I got message to check park aid ? Some Ahole bumped me a little I actually saw it and was not hard. I live in the city so its a normal thing.


Sorry for so much at once I love my truck .I noticed I've yet to put pics up. there is alot done to her . they will be inc

thanks in advance

So I think I can help with this one. My 06 was re-ended before I purchased it. It was minor damage, and the previous owner just traded it in, and that is where I bought it. From the outside, the only visible damage was about an inch long crack in the plastic bumper right around the hitch receiver, and a couple other little scratches on the plastic bumper near the same area.

When I purchased the ex, I pointed out to the dealer the system did not seem to work, and would give me the "check park aid" message.

After some research, I determined, that if you get that message, you either have a fault in your system, or it is deactivated. If you are unable to reactivate it via the "dash cluster settings", then you have a fault in your system.

I took my bumper apart last fall only to find the far driver's side park aid sensor (the farthest one away from the "damage" on my ex) actually was broken in two pieces. After looking around online, the cheapest I could find the sensor was about $118... Way more than I cared to invest. However I do believe many of the Ford vehicles from the early 2000s up to even early 2010s, seem to have the same part number for the sensor... So I have been waiting to find one at a local junk yard to save some cash.
 






I have buckets in my rear seating instead of the bench (one middle actually). Everything is custom. I used a seating bracket out of the same year exploder and bolted it myself. There's a thread where someone did 2 and put a center conceal between em to eliminate the gap. If your dedicated to doing so then best bet is look what others did then personalize it

cool I will search harder :) the console wouldn't be bad maybe . I think Id rather have the space to access the 3rd easier because of my little ones.

I found a Fix to the headlights btw , there is a canceler adapter for like 10 bucks and Boom , takes away error message and High beams go in lie they should.

Reverse lights Im still scratching my head ..... I guess I should of stuck my multi meter to it to see if Im even getting power . I should because rest of harness has power ....
 






Color/Material of Bench?

What color and material is your bench seat? I have perforated black leather buckets with console that I'm looking to trade for a bench seat. BTW, I'm getting the message "Park Aid - On/Off" for some unknown reason.

Still have them? What are they out of?
