Newb from pa, first ex

Noob from pa, new to site, fairly new to the ex. I just picked her up from the stealership last night, I'm in love! It's an 05 limited, v10, 71k. Loaded. Still tryin to figure out all the bells and whistles. It has one issue, I think it's minor, but looking for a bit of help: the drivers side power seat works intermittantly, heat and movement. Being an electrician I believe it's probably a bad connection, but if you guys can point me in a better direction, I'm all ears.

Congrats on your acquisition. You will meet some of the nicest most informed people regarding the ex on this site.

Some of them stayed in the Holiday Inn Express last night, others not so much.

Welcome aboard.

D@mn it Jim

I am a doctor not an electrician.

Welcome to the site and congrats on the new X!

Not sure about the seat, as mine also has issues with the seat heat, and I have yet to track down the cause.

Hope you keep enjoying your X as much as the rest of us do!

Welcome to the forums!
Nice ride! I really like the painted '05 grilles. And you got the very rare two tone Black/White edition! What part of snowy PA are you from? Is the EX going to be tow rig?
Be carefull how much time you spend here, you may catch EX modding fever, there is no cure and the only treatment involves spending money and skinned knuckles!
