    Build Sheet vs. What's parked in the driveway

    I adjusted everything, followed the instructions provided, then pressed set and #1 while in Park with the engine running. Removed the key altered the driver's side mirror. Inserted the key and the mirror did not reset (seat moved forward as it's always done). So what am I doing wrong? Is there a...

    Is this an aftermarket remote start?

    I'd be surprised if a locksmith supplied the key and did the programming and cutting if the bill exceeds $125.

    Build Sheet vs. What's parked in the driveway

    I'll do that tomorrow. Didn't I read somewhere in the manual that you can also program the settings such that it can activate the memory function based on the fob used to unlock the doors. I'll re-read that whole section later as well.

    Build Sheet vs. What's parked in the driveway

    I think so but computer color images can be deceiving. Depending on the lighting I would better describe it as dark brown metallic.

    Build Sheet vs. What's parked in the driveway

    I moved the driver side mirror to a different position without the key in the ignition. When the key was inserted the seat moves but the mirror didn't reposition itself. I seem to recall that when the seat tilt positions are changed the only adjustment associated with inserting the key was for...

    Dash pad inserts?

    If there was ever one it's not there now. Probably kept by the previous owner.

    Build Sheet vs. What's parked in the driveway

    I had expected them to work like the ones on a '04 Jaguar. Not only do they fold in when the car is locked but they dip down so you can see the rear wheels and pavement when you shift into reverse. I guess the rear view on the Nav system (which I don't have) is the substitute.

    Dash pad inserts?

    Here's a pic. Probably explains the higher C$ price.

    Build Sheet vs. What's parked in the driveway

    Yes there are buttons 1 & 2 next to the set button. I didn't try to see if the mirror resets to a driver's selected position. I was thinking when I asked the question about the auto mirror retract feature where the mirrors will fold in when the vehicle is locked and the alarm is set. So...

    Build Sheet vs. What's parked in the driveway

    Here's the link with the vin added. The door sticker reads "EXT PNT HS". If I were to describe the color I'd say dark brown or dark copper metallic. That I assume is what Ford calls Earth metallic. Looking at color chip for the Stone Green it is definitely a dark green metallic. Stone Green CC...

    Build Sheet vs. What's parked in the driveway

    I downloaded the build sheet today from this site. The first thing I noticed was the color mismatch. The door sticker shows the code HS (Earth Metallic which is correct) but the build sheet says Stone Green CC Metallic. The other difference was related to the exterior mirrors. The build...

    Power running board broken arm casting.

    The bracket looks like it can be removed. If it can, I'll bet someone could fabricate one fairly inexpensively.

    '08 Door Panel Removal

    Got to do both front doors yesterday. Sprayed white lithium grease into the cables and onto glide tracks. The nylon glides seem to scrape the grease off the tracks though. In any event the windows now move fairly quickly. Before doing the second seat windows I was wondering if I should use a...

    Expedition broken into

    Some low life broke into mine by breaking the passenger side window within 12 hours after I bought it. They were focused on the centre console and missed the GPS under the glass on the passenger seat. When I was covering the window with some plastic sheeting the paperboy commented that my Expy...

    '08 Door Panel Removal

    Are the panels just lifted up or are there tabs that need to be released? Is there a "hidden" screw? Need access to see why the windows are sooooo slow in both directions, especially on cold days.

    Switch Illumination

    Thanks, I suspected such but couldn't recall for sure. I'm guessing it's the same with the garage door buttons on the sun visor.

    Switch Illumination

    On an '08 can someone tell me if the headlight switch and the 4x4 selector switch knobs are supposed to be illuminated so you can see where they are pointing at night. In daylight it's not an issue as the white line is visible. If they are illuminated how do you access the bulb to replace it?
