    Front & rear windshield washer NOT?

    It's fuse # 45, 20A (Front/rear washer pump), fuse box in the engine compartment. If the fuse is blown, any reason not to buy at Autozone or Carquest? Mark

    Front & rear windshield washer NOT?

    Don't think frozen. The car's in a garage and reservoir is totally liquid. I'll check the fuse.

    Front & rear windshield washer NOT?

    Just recently. Connie said the washer wasn't producing fluid to the windshield. I added fluid to the reservoir that was already at least 1/2 full so I doubted fluid level was the problem. And that's where progress stopped.

    Press/activate & no water comes out.

    LED Headlights- Unexpected “negative”

    Anyone know if Ford has come up with an LED low beam retrofit for 2018 XLT halogens?

    Anyone come across trash container that fits 'here'?

    I guess I asked the wrong people. I didn't think that I was the only person aware of auto trash containers of such a size as it would absolutely not interfere with a small woman's control ability--but then who am I to understand all the ways of the Ford forum cognoscenti ;-)!.

    Anyone come across trash container that fits 'here'?

    I think a trash container with a hook on the side just might fit by hooking onto the side of the ledge in the image. Seen anything that might work? Mark

    HID Headlight Conversion

    Well if you do please report back. From my perspective, I can't get my arms around the idea that any bulb will significantly increase visibility absent getting rid the (horizontal) reflector and doing as headlights have done for the past hundred years...aiming down to the left.

    HID Headlight Conversion

    When my dealer suggested to Ford that they wanted to install LED's in our '18 XLT (like the Platinum) to replace the OEM low beam, Ford shut them down period. Ford said doing so would require a software change and ++. Ford would provide no installation information. The intent was to get rid of...

    Manual 1st + 4WD

    Back out, put in D, tires spin/vehicle slides. Back out, put in M1, no slide/no spin, vehicle moves forward. Someone had said earlier in this thread that M1 should only be necessary to hold the vehicle in first gear that the vehicle was smart enough to figure things out. My experience is at...

    Manual 1st + 4WD

    This time, after backing out of the garage in 4WD/snow, putting the XLT in M1 I was able to (after a lot of very slow maneuvers) get the nose pointed toward the house so my wife could then back down the step part of the drive to the turnout then go forward down the rest of the drive. M1 was the...

    Manual 1st + 4WD

    Points 2 and 3 understood (I've done the same as you re 3). The idea is stay in the lowest gear going down and up the asphalt driveway. From the street, the driveway is up and straight @ ~7-8 degrees, then makes a 90 degree left turn for ~40' @ ~10-11 degrees then on the concrete garages apron...

    Manual 1st + 4WD

    3 Questions: 1. The XLT is in the garage. Driveway has snow. Before backing out, the vehicle's in 4WD/snow. If I place the transmission in manual first, does that have any + bearing on reverse traction or just if I'm going forward? 2. If I'm about to drive up the driveway that has snow/ice, is...

    Does the 'snow' setting 'stick' after on/off?

    About a foot of wetter than usual snow for this time of year last night. This morning, I pulled Connie's car out of the garage while in 4WD/Snow (forgot about the manual shift option and didn't also have it in low). Although we were plowed last night, her side of the garages can't be reached by...
