I was always told in trailer light wiring White = ground wire ( improper ground either side of plug = many problems) Brown = tail lights - can not write nasty thoughts that were mentioned here. Yellow = left signal ( also brake ) think yellow centre line on highway Green = right signal...

If you find a fix let me know, I have been getting " Tire Sensor Fault" and " Tire Monitor Fault" for about 3 to 4 years now on my 2008. They usually come on after about 20 minutes of driving. I have been to several FORD dealers and they will rest sensors the same as tire shop but they actually...

My 2008 started do exactly the same at about 2 years old (60,000 Km - 37500 miles ). It has been to several dealers, I do not think any of them know as much as I do and I know nothing. Internet research has told me there is a special tool for diagnosing this system but no one here has one. My...

2008 ST LTD 4.6 V8 Message center in dash just come up with "Check Park Aid" in orange. The distance measuring at rear of vehicle seems in active and no signal in cab. Does anybody know where I should start to look. I like this feature when it is working.

When people say they want a diesel in their ST, it is not that far from realty. 5 years ago I saw a "Ford Everest" in Mausi Mara Kenya. It looked like a then current Explorer with right hand drive and 4WD. And it had a 3 Litre diesel engine. Never got a chance to talk to owner about...

My 02 is much better in the deep snow than my 08 LTD. Good snow tires make a difference but I believe the 02 design just works better in deep snow. 08 seems to high center or hang up much sooner.

Find Peavey Mart or Princess Auto (also online stores) store They usually have remote automotive type heaters but you would have to run antifreeze heater hoses and power supply from engine compartment. Have seen them hooked up in truck box to heat truck campers when moving. they worked good.
