    How to wire LED tail lights

    Instead of installing resistors that get really hot, I simply used t5 instrument cluster bulbs for each circuit, and since they don't get burning hot I tucked them in behind the trunk liner. They only pull 180ma's each, which is enough to fool the lamp out warning. I also didn't spend a lot of $...

    Difference in console armrest?

    The arm rest for the phone option is 2" longer and is thicker all the way around. You will notice in the pic's that the hinge is also different because the arm pad hangs over the rear vents.

    acceleration problem

    remote start If you just remove the modules(depending on what system you have), yes it is possible your car won't start. If you have the remote start only system, then you can remove the modules, because it only piggybacks the wiring to the ignition and starter. If you have the remote starter...

    acceleration problem

    there is nothing with the remote start..... no need to rip everything out. There are two options when installing the Ford remote start (tach or tachless) the reason the wire is connected to the cop is for the tach.(the LS does not have a tach wire, it send the tach via the SCP data wires to the...

    door latches: lock actuators & door ajar switches

    You said that you tested all the latches and they worked as designed (clicked twice & locked in both positions & did'nt release until you pulled the handle) & no door ajar warning when you manually closed them & wiggled the latch striker w/ a screwdriver, so why are you putting electrical tape...

    door latches: lock actuators & door ajar switches

    door ajar switches First off, no amount of grease will make a difference to the ajar switch. The micro switch is at the top of the latch unit in a small pocket. It is sealed in epoxy with a rubber boot on the plunger that is only moved about 1/8" by the plastic latch striker. The latch has...

    door latches: lock actuators & door ajar switches

    Door Latches I found some pic's of a passenger front door latch that I cleaned up to keep as a spare, it's a rather simple mechanism(no parts come flying out when you open it). I can't seem to get pic's to load here, so if you still want them, PM me w/ an email address. There's no way all 4...

    Question about audio system

    No, only the factory radio's can read the SCP data(for turning on the illumination, reverse signal, etc..). You will need to make your own connection for illumination.

    Dead Car, no way in

    The very 1st LS that I test drove in 1999 had a dead battery and the driver's door would'nt unlock with the key and I remember that the salesman had to crawl through the trunk to open the door. I was only going on what I saw, I personally have never had a dead battery in my 00 LS, but the key...

    Dead Car, no way in

    The driver's door will not unlock with a dead battery.... The key cylinder has a mechanical link to an electrical switch ONLY on the door latch, the electrical switch is wired to the driver's door module, which unlocks the driver's door and sends the signal to the REM for the 3 other doors...

    Anybody ever officially lose their keys?

    Even if you have 2 working keys you can't erase the lost key. The dealership or locksmith will have to access the I/C with the NGS to erase all the stored keys.

You can also access connector C311 pin#8 white/blue wire that is on the passenger side roof pillar(behind the trim piece that the...

    Intrument Cluster LEDs

    With the way the cluster was designed for incandescent bulbs(diffusers to keep the straight on projection of the bulb from being brighter than the rest of the cluster) I don't think just replacing the (7) bulbs w/ LED's will give you an "even" color illumination. However, there is room between...
