Stupid Question

Yeah ok first impressions I didnt do so well, let me try again. The Excursion is the perfect vehicle for me and I love it. I cant see myself driving anything else ever. That being said I just like reading information on vehicles especially diesels. I have been lurking here for a while and really like the large knowelegable community. I do have a really stupid question though.

The temperature on the dash is it possible to change it from Fahrenheit to Celsius? I read the owners manual front to back looking for info but nothing, I've scoured the internet without much help. Here's the kicker, my husbands crew buggy is an Excursion '05 Limited and one of the guys on the other crew(being a ford mechanic in a previous life) was able to change the temp. Now what did he do?

Try jumping on one leg and at the same time, turn the fog lights on and off three times then cover one eye and yell "celsius" really loud at the climate control.




If that doesn't work try this:

Tells you how to do it and where to find it.

Mommadiesel,

On behalf of most of the members of this board, I'd like to apologize for the immature responses from my esteemed compatriots. They're also the kind of folks who like to do childish things like blowing the doors off of rice burners. At least, that's what my wife calls me when I do it.

I get 36" parking cones stuck under my truck once in a while. Sometimes they end up standing straight up tucked right next to the engine where the exhaust comes down. Thats when I have to go drive over a curb to pop it out.

Rice Burners: The best look on the young punks face is when you are at a red light and they are reving up that little rice burning to sound like a hive of pigme hornets in a daisy patch. You are sitting there watching them knowing your exhaust is bigger around than their pistons. And when the light turns green you fill their car up with soot! Priceless! Or even better than that start racing them to the next traffic light and for three or four blocks fill their car up like a DPF! Then they know they aint SH%#. But I would never do anything like that, never, I promise. But it sure is fun to watch in the side mirror! Have a nice day!

Other than your description, I haven't a clue as to what a hive of "pigme hornets in a daisy patch" sounds like.

You must have done some mission work somewhere that you're not telling us about.

No, I haven't been on a mission before, but they are all over the place, Big cities, small towns. They also can be found at high schools, shopping malls, and anywhere they can spend their parents retirement!
