    How do you turn off the Interior Lights

    That 03 should have an interior light defeat in the dimmer switch. Roll it all the way down until it clicks. My 03 had it. One of the best features, IMHO.

    Where do you mount your brake controller?

    I didn't mount mine at all since I use it in both trucks. The wires are long enough that it will sit in the open part of the center console.

    Logging off the Expy forum...

    I'm getting back into an Excursion. I've missed ti since I sold my last one. My 03 will be traded in for an 2005 XLS, 2WD, V10, 9-passenger Excursion. It's simple and roomy! Now...what did I do with that number to Banks Power Products?? Nice chattin' with y'all! :D (Of course, if...

    Changing Brakes.....

    I never took pics.... :) BUT! I do have an article for you that has pics. It is not an 03 but brakes are brakes. http://www.ford-trucks.com/article/idx/13/163/article/Installing_High_Performance_Brake_Rotors_Pads_and_Lines_on_a_19972003_F150.html

    Painted cladding and grill on my 03

    Lights are a simple swap but the HALO part required some splicing into the parking llight power wire. Very easy to do. I removed them as I didn't care for the light pattern. I could improved it by replacing bulbs to better ones but lost interest. :) Want 'em? $75 plus I'll ship 'em to you...

    04 Expy, A/C Doesn't blow cold

    If the charge is too low then the compressor won't kick on at all. Sounds like the clutch is bad or needs some spacers. (That is all listed in the service manual.) The AC eventually gets cold though, right??

    Changing Brakes.....

    It is very straight forward. Have you changed brakes before? -------------- -->Pull the wheel. -->Remove the two bolts that hold the caliper on. -->Pull the outside pad off. (There is a spring that holds it on. Don't bend it or lose it and make sure you notice how it goes on...

    Well I picked up a 99 Expy. Pics and a question inside.

    Dial-up folks can open pics, it just takes forever with such large images. :)

    Re: Re: Well I picked up a 99 Expy. Pics and a question inside. Yeah, but for dial-up users (not me) waiting for those huge images to download sucks. Posting links is always a more...courteous... thing to do. :)

    Troubleshooting the remote entry system

    Are you sure that the keyfob battery is good?

    No Oil Pressure!!

    Sounds like your oil pump is going. But it could be as simple as the sending unit. I do not know how to test the sending unit but imagine that it cannot be too expensive. The oil level doesn't have anything to do with the oil pressure light/guage. And there is no sensor for that function.

    New '05 - reverse sensing too quiet?

    Well, mine if aftermarket and it'll make your ears bleed! I [i]wish[/u] I had a volume control! Maybe the speaker on yours wan't mounted properly.

    Wow!

    The ENTIRE link was missing?!? The bushings are known to be crap but I've never heard of an entire link to be gone.

    I was thinking that it could be the actuator until you said that you cannot push it down yourself. Try pulling the panel to inspect it's operation (or lack thereof) visually. Nice truck! :)

    97' Differential Grind

    You can look at the axle code of the door jamb label. If it is two digits (numbers) then it is an open diff. If it a letter followed by a number then it is a Limited Slip. Friction modifier can be purchased at NAPA. You gotta go to the more "hard-core" auto parts stores versus the...
