    Driver Door Lock

    Mine did this same thing and it was the actuator. It had broken lose from its mount. Part was not that expensive, but I ended up having the dealer replace it as I could not get my big hand in there easily and not knowing the exact layout inside the door (you cant see once you put your arm in...

    horn not working..

    Check the horn relay (or is it the cruise control relay?). I had an E150 that the horn relay got full of water some how and blew the coil in it. Took out the horn and the cruise -- evidently your horn must work for your cruise to.... Don't know if it is same in the ST or not, but maybe.

    Cassette Problems

    Agree with TJR. I went through 3 of these adapters on my ST -- they just get so hot and start making weird noises or the cassette player tries to eject them. I got the FM adapter for my XM and it worked pretty good, not great, but not any worse than the cassette adapter. Obviously, a direct...

    Looking at new ST

    Try the USAA buying service. No haggle deals..... you should just be able to ask the dealer what the USAA price is also, but they make make you go online for the certificate. I did this on last 2 vehicles and was happy as it takes the haggle out of the deal. I either like the price or dont.

    She's totalled

    I am glad you are OK and sorry for your loss.... nice ST. Glad the dog is ok too. USAA is awesome!! But, still watch your deal..... make sure you are taken care of and are happy with the settlement. If not, don't sign anything and hire a lawyer. My neighbors next door had some...

    Another Toyota RECALL

    Lets not forget the cruise control switches on how many different vehicles...... and the BS to get them fixed. Love Ford; have owned 10 over the last 28 years, have 4 of them in the family now, and would buy another; they just didn't have one that fit my taste this time when I bought a...

    Wife's new car is a '99 Mercury Sable, what's the bolt pattern on those?

    Check your heat!!! lots of heater core issues on this year. There was a TSB on it. If coolant jug is stained brown, you may end up having to backflush the heater core about every 3-6 months to keep heat. Had one, and my neighbor did, both had the same exact issue and were well maintained.

    not a trac, but it's a ford......

    wont idle, wont start half the time. he's got about 40k in it (including the car) and now has no cash to keep dumping in to it. Motor has been rebuilt, turbo is about 3 times the size as stock, ecm is custom, fuel managment, cams, etc, etc. Was built to race, but hitting 3rd instead of 5th did...

    not a trac, but it's a ford......

    My son has had lots of issues with his Neon SRT4 - all self inflicted, so I bought him a "new" ride so he can quit using up his shoe leather..... 98 Eddie Bauer w/v8 and AWD. Only issue so far is it needed a new door latch and inside door handle. 100k miles and was owned by a school teacher in...

    ST Owner No Longer

    Sorry you had issues, my 01 lasted for 8 years and no issues at all until the ac crapped out (my fault, overfilled). I replaced it with another brand and am happy, but would buy an ST again if I did not need a full size bed. Dad has an 09 F150 crew cab 4x4 and loves it... hint, hint.

    Traded the ST

    Looks familiar!!! [Broken External Image]::cool: I have averaged 16.8 mpg since owning the truck.... so the mileage is on par with what I got in my ST. You are going to love the room of the full size truck, but hate it when you have to park. The 5.7 ROCKS!!! One word of caution, the...

    Where were YOU when the world stopped turning, eight years ago, on this September day?

    i was aboard a fine naval vessel off the coast of FL in the middle of a training scenario with assessors on board to grade. As soon as the first tower was struck, our intel guy came in and said the skipper wanted tv "now" -- and that we were headed for the beach at best speed. It was eerie...

    A Question For Retired/Former Members of the Armed Forces

    How about falling into step with the person you are walking with? I do it all the time. Drove my spouse nuts, now do it with the GF. :) Been almost 28 years since boot camp, 16 since I pushed boots, and I still do it. GP
