Problem Seeing Guages
There doesn't seem to be a forum for the 2008 Expedition, so let me ask here. I always had trouble seeing the gas guage on the 2004 that I traded in. Had to use a flashlight in broad daylight. I just assumed the prob would have been corrected, but my new 2008 Expedition has the same, or even worse, lack of illumination. Black backgrounds. Is there any way to rewire so that the guages and info screens are lit up whenever the ignition is on? The dealer says no.
Thanks
Thanks

That 300Hp is pulling waaay too much. She is seriously slow. I must have something wrong with mine as the BEST she has ever shown was 15.1. Slam the pedal on the Titan, at the crappyest she'll make is 12 MPG-mind you 305/390 at about 6000lbs. The Expy EL 300/365 at about 8000lbs. If everyone else is getting over 15.1 on the highway I really do have something wrong. Last trip we took I left the cruz on 72mpg and she got 15.1. In town it is just about 10.3. Does anyone else have low numbers like mine? I am really convinced something is wrong. I drive this no different than the Titan and the V8 is a 5.6L and the Expy's is a 5.3L. Any feedback would be great...sorry to thread jack but I am worried.

Now my gauges are VERY easy to read in the day and night too. I really don't what Ford was thinking with using red on black.
Verrrry strange.
