Can anyone help me in figuring out where the AUX plug is in my 2005 f150 Lariat ?! It has the button for AUX on the radio/CD player! Please help 😭

Last Saturday morning, I discovered a transmission leak under my 2010 F150 with 97,000 miles. I bought it new and am the only owner. There have been no accidents. Depending on the repair quote, I'm considering trading it in.

A few years ago, I had a small water leak from the third brake light (which I promptly fixed), which left water marks on the headliner. I never got it cleaned. The paint is in good condition, so I'm thinking about spending $200-$300 on a full detail to remove the water marks and make the truck look well maintained (which is it)

Do you think it's worth detailing before trading it in?

I am considering starting a buyback for my 2019 Edge. The transmission issue I’m facing affects every Ford Edge from 2019 forward and they’re unwilling to fix it since it requires governmental approval. The only way around it is to step up to an Explorer which is more expensive. Do they offer money to make up for the difference in purchasing another vehicle since I can’t just swap out for another Edge? How much negotiating power do I have or am I stuck with what they offer? I’ve been dealing with this since July and I’m exhausted trying to get things fixed. I don’t want to go down this rabbit hole with Ford blindly. Thanks much!

About a week ago I posted a question asking about my Ford Fusion 2013 SE that was having issues with the shifting. I decided to take it into a transmission shop today to get it checked out and quoted. Ultimately they quoted me 4300 dollars for a rebuild due to a "Hot shift from 1st-2nd" and gear slippage into the 3rd gear. The issue I run into is the fact that I bought the car for 5000 dollars. It has 155000 miles on it. The rest of the car is fully operational and in great shape. The transmission shop also mentioned they could "repair" it, which would ultimately be cheaper, however, they couldn't give me an estimate on it.

What I am asking if for your opinion, not sure what to do. I would be willing to spend some money on fixing it. (I like the car and would be willing to invest) Thanks!

Hi everyone, I just bought a 2025 Explorer Active, and I'm having an issue adding a Google account to my profile. When I press "Add Account" on the profile, nothing happens — just a blank screen. Also, I don't see Google Play, Alexa, or YouTube in the apps menu.

If anyone has a solution to this problem, please let me know.

Hello, I’ve been a ford tech for over a decade but this is my first time dabbling in this kind of upgrade. I have a friend that has wanted to upgrade his 2014 F150 from sync 2 to sync 3.

He has installed all of the necessary parts, but he used an APIM from a Mustang and he works at a body shop and that’s the one he was able to obtain.

His concern is that his HVAC buttons do not work, and the Mustang logo coming up on startup. and I believe it’s related to the Mustang APIM rather than a F150 APIM. Is this something I can correct with FORSCAN, or will they need an F150 APIM?

Any help or info on this is appreciated.

I purchased the Ford ESP extended warranty with zero deductible and the enhanced first day rental car coverage. Fast forward a year, my door welds are failing, causing the door check arm to fail in the door; there's been a recall now for it, and they're having to replace the whole door due to the check arm/door metal weld having completely failed. Multiple day bodyshop repair.

The problem -- Dealer is denying providing a rental as this work is due to a recall, not due to the warranty. What rubs me the wrong way is if there wasn't a recall, all this work would still be covered under the Ford ESP, entitling me to all those benefits. I pushed back on them to provide a first day rental, service manager said 'he'd check into it'.

Is this legit?

May be a recent update - anyone’s FordPass not working? Won’t remote start, unlock, etc

Hello everyone! I have an issue with my Ford Focus' auto transmission. My mechanic diassembled it and found out the Output Planetary has play in the gears. My torque converter was also shot. The model of the transmission is 8F35. We ordered a brand new torque converter from Ford, but we couldn't find an output planetary so I had to go used. We found one without any play but there is a difference of height in the housing of 2mm. The place I ordered it from claims it is allowed and it gets compensated "due to the thickness of the native bearings". The question is can we really use this part. I suspect it came from a 8F40 transmission. Other than the height it fits perfectly. Would appreciate any information from people familiar with this. Thank you in advance!

Why did I get a call saying my new maverick was ready to pick up, then 3 hours later after getting my check ready I'm told there's a recall with no time frame for a fix and they can't finish the sale. I call customer relations and marketing to see if I can get an incentive to stay because I'm driving a rental at the moment or just take my Check elsewhere. They proceed to tell me that they don't have enough people or resources to help and that management can't do anything higher than what a regular agent could do!!!

I make sure that under the hood is always clean…

I'm hearing excessive road noise through the driver side door. The weather seals look fine and the window is fully closing. Is it possible the door isn't sitting flush? Is there an adjustment that can be made?

Mine has cracked, what is the best way to go about fixing this? I see some covers on ebay, but I didnt know if that replaced my current one or went over the top, or if the easiest was to buy a kit to repair the leather, or just go to a leather repair shop or something like that. Any input would be much appreciated!

Has anyone else experience after it raining, you entering your car and notice your passenger seat floor board is flooded with water? All solutions are welcomed

When I start my car it makes a weird squealing sound. Almost like nails on a chalkboard. It also happens when I shut it off. I just purchased the car 2 months ago - first owner. I am also sure I need to replace the motor in my drivers side window. The window stops rolling up twice before it goes all the way up. I'm a little disappointed in these things happening with a brand new vehicle.

Anyone else having issues like this? 😬

Hello internet!

I start with a caveat that in replies please speak to me as though you were addressing a small child or a golden retriever... I know nothing about cars.

I am looking at acquiring a Ford Explorer - electric version.

Two of the options are SUV and SUV AWD - quite the price difference - can somebody tell me the difference? Worth having?

Secondly. Heat Pump - I have been advised to get this added, again, worth it?

EDIT - For clarity, I live in the UK so the climate is as such, my usage is commuting where necessary (10 miles up to 110 miles depending on client) with a long range journey (200 miles ish) once or twice a year.

Thanks in advance.

Long story short my PCM went up on my F150 that I bought in march. I switched out the USB ports after seeing it would allow my truck to use apple car play. It worked without issue for months leading up to my PCM going up. I went to pick up my Truck yesterday because it was supposed to be fixed and less than a mile down the road it began to behave like it did when I originally had it towed to the dealership. They do not know I changed the USB ports after but I want to be sure that isn’t what is causing the issue. It was as simple as removing the old port and inserting the new one. The ports are from a ford certified seller not a cheap aftermarket brand. Thank you if you have an answer for me on this one.

Hi Everyone

Kindly help me on this one. I guess it is affecting gas mileage as well which is currently at 15L/100 km in city driving.

To me it kind of sense why I have to ask this but I just want to know. Why is the limited trim the top trim of the ford truck segment, shouldn’t it be platinum or the king ranch trim that should be the top trim?

My mom recently upgraded from the 2004 Ford Expedition to a 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and I’m very proud of her for buying her first big purchase but aside from that. Now that she doesn’t drive the expedition anymore I’ll be able to drive it because I recently got my drivers license and I want to know if it is a good first car even though the expedition has the notorious 5.4L V8 instead of the 4.6 even though it did give us a lot of problems before, it still keeps going after 170K miles as long as I actually keep up with maintenance there shouldn’t be a problem anymore right?

Many Fords with this engine were prone to PCM failure. I'm curious which Fords and which model years have the PCM issue or not.

Anybody know what the part in the red rectangle is called? I need to replace its rubber insert as it deformed. This is from a Ford Ecosport 2020

BRING IT BACK THE NEW EDGE YEAH YEAH IF YOU DONT like it it;s BLEH BLEH

when i get a car wash, my ford rear window leaks, i have like water droplets on the inside of the window and the seats get a little wet. is there any sealant thats recommended or is this a known issue people have with the age of the truck k?

I recently bought a 2001 f350 with the 6.8l v10. It has 80k miles on it. The truck just shut off while driving on the highway. I've had two mechanics tell me one of the timing chains broke. Im assuming I will need a new engine. The thing I don't understand is how does a ti.ing chain break on a motor with 80k miles? Is this a common issue with the v10?

Hi everyone, My boyfriend has a 2013 Ford Explorer that had some issues around 6 months ago so we took it to a mechanic that didn't know what they were doing- long story short after going through 3 mechanics and finally fixing the problem something called MyKey activated when we got his SUV back.

It doesn't allow him to go over 80 anymore, or listen to loud music over 30%. At first I thought it was a good thing, he tends to speed/ listen to music that is way too loud. I never drive in his truck either so it wasn't my problem, but lately I've been having to use his Ford and it's driving me crazy!!

Does anyone know how to fix it or get rid of it?
