Help!!

Hey forum,

I have an issue with the AC where it repeatedly keeps resetting to LOW and on full blast every 3-ish minutes.

What can I do to fix this problem before I take it to the dealership. I have a baby with me and having this issue is becoming a nuisance...

Already tried: Resetting Ford MyTouch system; Reinserted fuse

Any help will be appreciated. :D

I have that remote and it works great call the tech support there very helpful

I tried calling and emailing. Nothing... :/

Hey guys my remote starter has been acting up lately. Three clicks on the lock button and it switches to ON, but doesn't fire up the engine like it used to.

Any solutions to this you might have?

Without knowing the make of the remote starter it will be difficult to diagnose. You can check under the instrument panel on the driver's side for a module that might indicate the make of the starter. Also, do you have the door ajar issue? Where the vehicle still thinks the door is open? Or the "Shift to Park" issue? Where the Vehicle thinks your not in park. Both issues would probably affect the remote starter.

No I will check over the weekend. But I don't have any of the other two issues.

Will report here once I get the name of the brand

Hey guys

I got my 12 SEL a couple months ago and the previous owner has an aftermarket remote installed from what I know. Its not the slick key fob with the push button ignition.

When I click the lock button 3 times. the car turns on fully. But now when I click 3 times it turns all the way on TILL the ON part, but doesn't actually fire up and start running.

It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated

Well, first you want to see if it has factory HIDs. If so, problem solved. If not, an aftermarket HID kit is an option although I would not buy a sub-$100 kit, especially in Toronto (because everything is so much more expensive in Canada). There are some really good HID kits available and then there are inexpensive kits such as sold by DDM Tuning or eBay. You can get a quality kit from daytimebrightlites.com for only $119 US - not that much more than what you were looking to spend. Get a 5000K kit to get white light without tending toward the blue end of the spectrum.

Yeah a few extra dollars won't be an issue being it lasts me longer. So this plug and play kit on daytimebrightlites.com will good enough?

Also I read somewhere where they conflict with the LED strips. What's that about?

Thanks in advance

Edit

No, chances are that a 2012 does not have factory HIDs. HIDs were optional equipment even on the Limited so it is more likely that your SEL will have halogen headlights.

 

You probably know this but just to be sure... 6000K is the color ("colour" in Canada) of the light and has no direct relation to the output (brightness) of the light produced. In fact, 6000K capsules produce less usable light than lower color temperatures because they are more blue and the human eye does not process blue light well. That's why factory HIDs are always in the 4000K - 4200K color temperature range. They want effective lighting not just someone's idea of a preferable color.

So what would you suggest in my case? An HID kit? Which one would you recommend? (Looking for under a $100)

Hey forum,

I'm looking to change the headlight D3s bulb to a 6000k output. I was wondering if changing the bulb itself would do the job?

Getting my 12 SEL in the next few days, I'm guessing it comes with factory HIDs?

Thanks,

Hey forum,

Getting my car tomorrow for the winter season. Was looking to get narrow but high tires (larger side wall) to fill in the gap. What would you guys recommend?

Cheers.
