    Rear Driver Side Map Light Stopped Working

    Update... This morning when starting the car I discovered the interior lights would not shut off. I messed with the switch again. Made sure it wasn't the dimmer up front. Nothing worked. So I thought... Bypass the switch to eliminate if it's simply a defective switch. I cut the wires and pulled...

    2005 LS Suspension Squeak When Leaving the Car

    Sorry, I'm not that up on auto repair - I can to somethings myself and I learn as I go. I purchased a kit of 4 bars and I believe they were called links. Two each side. One is horizontal and one is more vertical. I changed them myself and then had an alignment done. Before the repair the rear of...

    2005 LS Suspension Squeak When Leaving the Car

    I've replaced the rear control bars and had the car aligned which was greatly needed. But I still have a loud squeak when I get out of the car and the suspension raises. It sounds like it is coming from the rear center area. Any ideas?

    Rear Driver Side Map Light Stopped Working

    I replaced interior bulbs with bright white bulbs without any issues until my last one in the rear map light over head handle. It's not the bulb. When I was removing the screws and pulled the unit out I noticed the old bulb started flickering. I made sure I didn't pull on the wiring to avoid...

    2005 -Headlight Switch Question

    Bought this car new... I plan to hang onto it for at least another year. Ever since I first brought it home, Ive noticed the symbols on the switch do not light up like the dimmer dial or any of the other switches in the car when the lights are on. Are they supposed too? Always thought this was...

    Rear Suspension Parts

    Replaced my brake shoes today and noticed the rear bushings and boosts are in need of replacing. After looking up parts, I now know I will need to replace the Stabilizer Bars and Tie Rods because the rubber bushings are all one piece and not sold without the bars. My questions are, how soon...

    2005 LS Audio Up Grade - Suggestions?

    I have had the standard factory 6CD in dash radio now since the car was new. After pricing new cars I've decided to keep my LS a little longer and do some updates starting with the Audio system. I figured that would make me feel like I'm in a new car. I have no clue what I should do. Any...

    HID Conversion Kit Ballast Placement

    Thank you... I probably won't use the HIDs in the high beams for that very reason. I get plenty of light output with SilverStars and hardly use them anyway. I am so pleased with the HID H11 Low Beams I put in. There is really no comparison with the amount of light output. But now I need the fogs...

    I've exhausted my search on this forum and all I can find are discussions about HID vs LED. and most from Mark VIII owners. I can't find anything for the LS.

    HID Conversion Kit Ballast Placement

    For those of us who have upgraded to using HID Conversion Kits, where is a good location for Ballast placement for the High Beams and Fogs? I placed the Ballast for the low beams on the underside of the headlight housing.

    New Fog Lamps - 05 LS

    I just received my new fogs from FORD. Is this going to be an easy thing to do - appears there are three bolts on the back. Are they easy to get to laying on your back on a garage floor? Thanks for your help.
