Please excuse me if I am posting this to the wrong forum site.
I am rather new to sport trac forum I do have fairly good mechanic skills, including upholstery, but I am trying to find any posts as to R&R of:
1) lumbar support in seats. The switches work in my 2004 ST EXT PRM 4x4, the pumps so7nd l8ke they are working, but the lumbar bags/pouches do not inflate. Where does one start to troubleshoot repairs for this? And, where can one find replacement lumbar bags?
2) the seat back and bottom foam could really stand to be replaced, are there any good suppliers of new foam replacements?
Are there any safety precautions to take as far as air bags go?
I wish to thank anyone in advance for their knowledge on such matters.
Also, how does one:
1) find the pictures to previous projects that have been posted? Many refer to “photo bucket”, but I am unfamiliar in navigating successfully to such pictures?
2) (Lastly), as a new owner of this 2004 Explorer Sport Trac XLT PRM, w/V6 4.0l SOHC flex fuel 4x4 w/5 spd auto O/D tran, how can I tell/ find out if it is a “1st” or “2nd” GEN vehicle? I did find, once, and “somewhere” a VIN decoder, but it mainly confused me. There is a engine VIN sticker, I am assuming that only refers to the motor, but how can I tell if it is the original motor for my vehicle?
