Just as new vehicles have no more power seats on the passenger side... not good. |
My 2000 F150 has one from the factory...Its positioned just above the engine oil dipstick...perfect when checking your oil at night in a dimly lit back alley...:)

My 2011 Limited EL has every option under the sun but no underhood light. So It would need to be added manually. My hood has a sensor switch that I suspect is associated with the factory remote start. It is on the drivers side about half way down the hood.
I'm not sure if it is installed in all Expy's but if it is it could be used to power a relay/light. Johnny |

Man,the coolest light I ever saw was on my 93 GMC that I owned...It was facory mounted on the right side inner fender.It was on an assembly that was a reel so that you could extend the light to where-ever you needed and the lights base was magnetic.When you were done,all you had to do was just reel it back in and turn off the light...."Reely" pretty cool...I might just go junkin' and see if I could find one and mount it somewhere with enough real estate...

My Suburban has one of those reel lights. It is a '96. It is awesome.
Here are pictures of the Hood Switch on my 2011 Expy. You should remove your email to keep down spam... http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x...5131612x-1.jpg Close up. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x..._77433692x.jpg |
If anybody is interested... This is what ecyrbh is talking about. The reel light is actually a second light that is switched. The light attached to the switch lights when the hood is opened. The reel light has a 7-12 ft cord. Very handy but I have used it seldomly as the Suburban has been extremely reliable.

I miss Mercury switches. Easy and reliable, just carcinogenic. They sell for dirt cheap at junkyards btw

Granted they've all been Limited/Lariat, but all my newer Fords have power passenger seats. The 12 Flex has it |

Yeah, none on the Eddie Bauer Expies.
My old Crown Vic had it though as well as 2 lights in the visors instead of one ;) |
Well my '11 Expedition Limited has a "plethora" of goodies including many-way power passenger seats.
It's a marketing thing and a way to separate the consumer from his/her money. And Ford did a remarkable job of doing just that with me. :) |
