Just bought this sport trac and have to say so far I'm not very impressed.
All sorts of little issues and now the interior light is coming on and off (I mentioned this in another thread) and now the fan is coming on by itself (from nothing to full bore without me touching anything) and then the lights in the climate control unit and the stereo are going out randomly. The issues with the fan and the in-dash lights happened together today. When I messed with the dimmer switch, it sometimes turned the lights back on and sometimes didn't. What's up with this Sport Trac? Is it possessed? I don't want to put hundreds into it when I just bought the thing.
Any thoughts? Any help would be much appreciated. Frustrating! This is my first "new" truck in 18 years and my 1992 Nissan ran for the entire 18 years without ANY problems except a slight oil leak which cost me about $300 to fix. That was IT other than regular maintenance.
I think I'm starting to regret this purchase . . .
Plus I'm hearing a weird squeak squeak squeak (randomly) at low speeds which seems to be coming from the left rear. My dad thinks it's a brake noise. All these problems are manifesting not long after buying the dang truck.
