So now you admit you didn't pay $1000, you said you did pay the money. So you just proved that retro is correct and you are the one lying. This is copied from your post "You consider that an "attack" . Geez, you don't get out much do you. The kit didn't work, it messed up my car and cost me $1,000. " This is from the above post "I was lucky that Ford covered the repair to my SJB....very lucky ! It could have cost me $1,000 "

I just wanted to let you know that while those vehicles did not have a recirc buttom, that is what the max a/c setting was for. max a/c was recirc and a/c was fresh air.

The vehicle I was working on was an 07 SE without auto lights. There was no option to turn them on. On my 07 SEL with autolights I can go in and turn them on if I want to. I'm pretty sure other people on here have run into the same problem.

I just want to clear something up. Not all edges can have the DRL's turned on. I know because I've tried. I believe only cars with auto lamps can have them turned on. I don't know why that is or if its changed on newer models. The car I tried on was an 07 and this was back in 07. Just wanted to let you know.

The car should not make that noise. You really need to take it to another dealership to have it looked at. That tech should be ashamed of himselft to tell you something like that.

you need a 19mm socket.

It might be a programming problem. but this did not "toast" the transmission. most likely had a part failure. If the transmission did fail, it was not due to the programming.

Just curious, but what was the concern you brought it in to the dealership for?

It looks like maybe some kind of add on alarm, maybe with a kill switch. Where did you buy the car from, Have you asked them what it is for?

The old mirror is a Pain to get off. I actually broke the windshield trying to get mine off. I had the insurance replace it and then installed the new mirror. I wish I could give you a tip to get it off. But all I can say is be very carefull.

Its the module that cotrols the lift gate. I'm not sure exactly what the program does. I didn't read into to that much. I was just looking for what the other poster was talking about.

There is no recall, and I can't find any tsb related to that concern with his fix. There is a tsb for a reprogram to the LTM.

I got them from the workshop manual. The cover on the side is for access to the valve body. unfortunatly you can not access the filter from there.

I know you don't want to here this, and I'm not saying you don't have other problems, but down shifting to go faster, yes even at 50 is normal. Have you taken the car to another dealership for a second opion? If there truely is a problem the dealership should have no problem with fixing it. Also have you asked to drive another edge to see if it shifts the same as yours, if it does this is normal, if it does not then you do have a problem.

This is just for you Blazed UP. Its the best I picture and explanation I can find, but I'm sure its not enough for you. Transmission Fluid Filter The transmission fluid in the sump area at the bottom of the transaxle case flows through a transmission fluid filter to the pump assembly. The pump is bolted to the torque converter housing and is chain driven from a sprocket that is mounted on the stator support and turned by the torque converter. Fluid Pump and Transmission Fluid Filter Components Item Part Number Description 1 7A098 Transmission fluid filter assembly 2 7A103 Pump assembly 3 7G249 Chain and sprocket assembly 4 7J246 Stator support assembly 5 7005 Transaxle case 6 7005 Torque converter housing As you should be able to tell the filter is located inside the housing.

Here is a pic of the bottom of the trans. Is that good enough for you?

Here is a diagram of the flow path

believe or not, it is

Alright you got me on that. He is wrong about the drain plug, but right about the filter. At least I can admit I'm wrong.

No, unlike you he is 100% correct, as you can see from my other post stating the same thing. And no I did not read this one first. nice try though.

there is not a pan like your mustang. the plug is in the case. Also the filter can not be just replaced like old transmissions. the case has to be removed and split to change it.

Your welcome.

The only way is to disconnect the battery cables and leave them off for a few minutes. Only other way is with a scan tool. The light will turn it self off eventually. It has to see a number of drive cylces with the problem fixed before it turns off, but that can take a long time.

sorry, there was supposed to be pictures with that. Its on the bottom of the transmission. I can't get the picture to copy. It is on the bottom of the transmission. Sorry I can't do any better than that.

There you go again with wrong information. that is not how you drain the transmission. For the original poster, here is the correct information. This is straight from the workshop manual. Material Item Specification MERCON® V Automatic Transmission Fluid XT-5-QM (or XT-5-QMC) (US); CXT-5-LM12 (Canada) MERCON® V NOTE: In order to completely clean the torque converter, this procedure needs to be carried out 3 times. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02. NOTE: If an internal problem is suspected, drain the transmission fluid through a paper filter. A small amount of metal or friction particles may be found from normal wear. If an excessive amount of metal or friction material is present, the transaxle will need to be overhauled. Remove the transmission fluid drain plug and allow the transmission fluid to drain. Install the transmission fluid drain plug. Tighten to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). Fill the transaxle with clean transmission fluid. Start the engine and let it run for 3 minutes. Move the range selector lever into each gear position. Repeat Steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 two more times. After the transmission fluid has been changed a total of 3 times, check the transmission fluid level for a final time, making sure that the transmission fluid is at the correct level.
