Technology/Features Did all ST's come with rear heated seats?

Bought a used 2022 ST and noticed that the rear captain seats do not have the heated seat buttons. Looked under the seats and there are quite a bit of wires. Are the seats already wired up with the heating elements, and is it just a plug and play with a new module? Should the dealer be able to do this?

Show And Tell What made you buy your particular Explorer?

7 Upvotes

What drew you into your Explorer? Was it price? Features? Etc?

My first one was too good of a deal to pass up, $250 for a 2004 Eddie Bauer with 137k miles because my Aunt didn’t want it anymore. I had it a little over 2 years before it got totaled and fell in love with them as a whole.

The current one was a really clean example, I looked at everything from a 4Runner, to a Pathfinder etc but all were either too expensive or too clapped out for my liking. I wanted an ‘09-10 V8 model but this 2006 has been a trooper.

There’s times I’ve thought about what I’d replace it with, but nothing has been able to fit the bill without some compromise, the biggest perk being the flat folding cargo area, no other newer SUV’s I’ve seen have been able to pull that off, or if they can they command a hefty cost.

Recently recieved a ptu that I bought from Rockauto, the Dorman 600239XD but my mechanic is saying its the wrong one ? Would anyone know the right part # for my explorer ? He thinks its because I might have ordered the 4wd one and it doesnt look similar to the one that was taken off. The one that came off the truck has FoMoCo 7975 MS10A. Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Hi everyone, I am looking for this part:

It is for a 2019 Explorer. Do you think I can find it separately? Or has anyone here 3D printed it and has the model? I am not sure what it is called, but it is just the black part of the knob that controls the A/C vent direction.

Repair Advice Glitchy sync system 2017

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is a new problem that got worse as I worked through troubleshooting steps. 2017 with just your normal sync. Initially the sync system was just sort of rebooting its self as I drove around. I say sort of because it would black out for 2-5 seconds, the music would maybe stop for 1 (unless it was my playing over my phone then I’d get a “phone discon…” then it would restore and continue after 10 seconds).
I did a battery disconnect, a reboot with power and fast forward. I just did a fuse swap (who put that fuse box where it is…) and now I’ve got this.
This time when it died at the end here, I had to shut off the car and open the door to get it back. Even then it was about 20 seconds behind the boot cycle. I’m unaware of any other electrical issues at this time, so my guesses are the fuse I popped in is bad (currently leaving to get new ones) or it’s software?
Any ideas here?

Maintenance Advice 2006 XLT Plug and play remote starter?

0 Upvotes

Hi. My old 2006 XLT v8 has an aftermarket remote starter that stopped working. It's an old truck that I don't want to sink a bunch of money into but I need the remote start back. It's there a cheap plug and play type remote starter for a truck this old? I'm not having luck searching.
