As far as I know they are just pass throughs from the hinge area to next to the fuse block. There may be a keyed hot wire in the group, I didn't poke around that much, just used one of them. Great idea really.

The 4 wires just pass through and are not connected to anything (and just fyi, I found the interior side of mine next to the brake controller plug).

There is yet another wire under there that is switched 12v (apparently, I didn't see it but then again I wasn't looking for it)

Finally some weather nice enough to work on the Ex a little. Installed my Air Lift air springs today. I am going to put together an on board air setup, but haven't bought a tank or compressor yet. Going to just use the Schrader valves to inflate for now. Installed the valves on my trailer plug bracket.

I found the separate white w light blue stripe that is above and to the right of obd2 plug.

Pretty sure it's keyed on hot from first hand experience from previous poster.

What I still can't determine is taped with the RED / WHITE / BLUE / BLACK wires in interior is 3 smaller gauge wires that I cannot find on the engine side where the other ends of RED / WHITE / BLUE / BLACK wires are.


Currently I'm trying to get the key code off the sticker by the radio area.....not being successful

Will do!









So back on the tire hunt.

Saw these on Kijiji...

Hercules 285/75r16 new! | tires, rims | Bathurst | Kijiji

They are however load range D...

http://www.herculestire.com/tire-gal...terra-trac-dt/

My question is would these work on a stock rim and would they be heavy-duty enough for the Ex. They are rated at 3300 per tire.

I think I could get him down to the $700-800 range.

What do you guys think?

As always I appreciate your help and incite. I rarely tow and when I do its just a 14 ft runabout boat.

Thanks,

Nate

I'm an idiot.... after half hour dicking with getting the cup holder out due to lack of correct tools at my home, I realized the code I was trying that I found via the mirror trick was correct.

While "reversing" the individual numbers as appear on the sticker, I failed to reverse the whole number sequence...

Must have been that long straight shot from Disneyland that we landed at midnight on that has me screwed up...

I can say one thing the fact there is no "keep the domelight off" feature is a real dumb mess up on Fords part.

I will be doing that Mod soon. 900 miles straight thru with having two kids in car seats getting blinded and awaken up unnessarily at the crack of a door being opened is pretty irritating.
