I even tow a 19' boat short distances all summer to the ramp and back. It's a little bigger than I should be towing with it, but it's done fine for 3 years now. :shades:
Also is there any way i can turn off the dome courtesy lights when the hatch/rear- is opened. I have looked for aswitch or button all around the door seal .
thanks
Any advice would be appreciated.

Another thing to look at; The "Mass Air Flow" sensor goes bad on Fords,it will cause poor performance and stalling !
also,under the hood, look in the fuse box,(small square boxes)Replace them,
cost about ten dollars !
one=Mass Air Flow goes bad,causes stalling, and hard starting!
two=under the hood,fuse box, there are small square black boxes,they go bad,causes no start !
Three= pluged catalitic converter, needs replaced,you could unhook the exhaust
then try to start, converters are costly !
Also check ign. fuse !
Both keys I am using are the ones that came with the car. What you are saying about the theft system makes sense. It seems like the car has shut down since there is still power to the starter solenoid!

Never really paid that much attention to check engine lights. Not sure how all this relates, but I pull the valve cover just a bit ago. 5 broken rocker arms, looks like some of the retainer clips for the valve springs are broke, one valve higher then the others ( not sure about that) and there was some of the plastic chain guide plastic in the cam chain!!!! Not good. I'm sure there is some rod or piston damage also. Can't tell yet.

Good Luck !
I am new to this site and trying to figure out how to navigate this site. I am interested in hearing more about this problem.
Also check the o2 sensor,There is a sensor on the transmission that will
cause the engine to stall out when it goes bad ! Hope this will help! Good Luck

It's extremely loud and i can hear it (and so can anyone outside near the vehicle) when the vehicle rocks left to right when hitting bumps, going over uneven pavement, speed bumps, etc.
If it rains outside, the noise will go away for a couple of days do to the moisture. The sound was gone the entire winter and now has come back in the last week or so do to the rise in temp here in the midwest.
any ideas what this is? how much it'll cost to fix?
thanks for any help
Let us no what happens ! These SUV's have a problem with the same thing
you are experiencing !
On a side note, I noticed that the only time my car stalled was when I had cruise control on at appx. 40mph, on a number of hills. I live on a mountain and there is one long road that goes up and down and so I think my problem may actually be caused because cruise control is not designed to be driven up and down hills. I have never had a problem with the car stalling except while I was using cruise control and on the mountain. I am beginning to think my problem is because cruise control is not intended for driving on slopes. Live and learn : )
Good Luck!
