    LED Headlights?

    Just curious if anyone here has switched their headlights from OEM to LED. Reading on the website (link below) they seem to imply you can just take out the old ones and plug in the new LED's and you're good to go. I'm assuming the light would be much better. I have a 2003 LS Sport. Thanks. 2003...

    A/C just stopped working

    I recently had it charged up and it was working fine and yesterday had the a/c on and went to adjust the fan speed and it just stopped working. I can hear the unit turn on/off under the hood as I turn it on/off in the car. It just does nothing, could that still be a fuse if the unit is engaging...

    Question about switching from air struts to coils

    I'm having a Arnott coil kit put in this week and taking out the air struts. Is all I have to do is turn off the switch in the trunk after the kit is installed so I don't get the warning on the dash about the air suspension? Is there anything else I need to know about when having this done? Can...

    Hot air from A/C - DVVC?

    I tried searching as I know this subject has come up on here, but I couldn't find much. If the passenger side 2 vents blow cold, or a mixture of cold & warm, but the drivers side 2 vents blow hot/warm, does this mean it's time to replace the DVVC or could it have something to do with a blend...

    Ford Etis Website

    Does anyone know if they have changed the website so you are no longer able to get any free information about a Ford/Lincoln vehicle when you insert a VIN number? Lately all I'm able to see is the year/engine size/exterior color. FordEtis home page

    Should CEL come on with oil change warning?

    The check engine light came on the same time the time to change your oil warning popped up, is this normal? The change oil setting was reset but the CEL came on when starting the car again. If this is the cause, is there a way to self turn off the CEL? Thanks for your help. 2003 V8

    Best OBDII Scanner?

    I tried doing a search here but there wasn't much current on OBDII scanners and with how fast technology changes, thought I would get some current feedback. Do any of these show all the Ford codes? What have you had good/bad luck using? Here are some of the ones I noticed: Eocean: $18.99 -...

    P0174 & P0171 - MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor)

    Well it's been 1 year ago today when we got our '03 V8 LS. 48k miles on it and now 59k miles. Ahh...and it's been the gift that keeps on giving. We were on a trip to LA a few days ago and the check engine light came on, stayed on for a day or so and then went off. Car always ran fine, we drove...

    Humming Noise

    So is a humming noise coming from the rear of the car when going say 40-60 mph rear bearings that it appears is another issue with the LS? I hear it more with my foot on the gas, if I let off the pedal and it seems to get quieter. I read something about a half shaft also, not sure what that is...

    Windshield Washer Problem

    I've read through many threads on this in the search, but not sure that I found the answer for mine. Washer fluid just stopped coming out one day. Replaced the motor with a new Motorcraft one. (no low fluid warning ever came on, fluid was not low) It shot some fluid out once then stopped...

    Won't Start

    Well I was hoping that my 'vacation' from here would last a little longer, but it's just short of a month since I was last here. Can't seem to catch a break with this LS. Since I was here, on July 31st we had all the coolant system parts replaced. Zerex G-05 antifreeze used. Used all OEM...

    What Differences Are There In Antifreeze For The LS?

    What type of antifreeze/coolant do you use in your LS? We're told to use a HOAT like Motorcraft Gold or Zerex G-05 for the LS. I'm wondering if the HOAT coolant is what is causing the plastics to not last in the LS? My Mark VIII uses the conventional green as that is what is recommended and...

    Loss Of Antifreeze Questions...

    We drove just a few miles yesterday (5 miles maybe), stopped to eat and when we came out about 1 hour later, I noticed a leak under the front drivers/middle side of the car. I could see some slight dripping from now what I recall as around the middle/front (?) of the engine underneath. I took a...

    Mark VIII Correct Power Steering Fluid?

    Hello all, thank you in advance for your help. I was not able to find what I wanted to know in a search here. The owners manual says to use Mercon ATF power steering fluid in a '98 Mark VIII. Can you use Mercon V today in it? If so, is it ok to use Mercon V if some of the original ps fluid is...

    Mobil 1 Oil Specs

    I'm putting up a link to the current specs of Mobil 1 oil as it appears they no longer have a SL rated oil as mentioned in the Oct 2016 post below that the 2000-2004 LS's came with from the factory, while he says the 2005-2006 came with SN rated oil. Most Mobil 1's have the SN but no SL rating...

    The car alarm goes off on occasion when it shouldn't. I have been standing by it and no one was near or touching the car. I've went through and read many of the posts (search) on car alarm problems, but I want to run my issue by here as I'm not sure I found the answer in the other posts. What I...
