Papa Hotel

I am a bit bummed. Ford has been building cars for 110 years or so. Why have they made them more difficult to work on over the years? My '22 has had a few modifications to get them produced, and one of them is an anemic single-tone horn on my Titanium edition. I decided to enhance it with a more robust horn. The original horn sits under the driver-side headlight. It is easy to see it there, but to work on it, one must remove the entire front bumper. I'm not sure I want to get that deeply involved. Next I decided to add a dash cam setup. My model has a parking feature and it needs to be hard-wired, which normally is just bringing 3 wires to the fuse panel and plugging them into existing fuses (This should be easy-peasy.) On the Edge, they have mounted the fuse panel about 15 inches behind the panel and the owners manual states "To access the fuses in the body control module fuse box, contact an authorized dealer." It could have been mounted where one can see and replace fuses easily, but Ford chose to mount it in a nearly impossible-to-reach area. I'll probably be able to do these mods, but it certainly is not in the DIY category for most owners.

There are multiple options to reduce the 2" receiver to a 1.25. The last bike rack that I purchased actually had that reducer in the box. https://smile.amazon.com/BougeRV-Receiver-Adapter-Insert-Converter/dp/B077D25HQL/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=V22731SL8VDB&keywords=trailer+hitch+adapter+2+to+1.25&qid=1649593626&sprefix=2%22+to+1.25%22+trailer%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzTTZTOE9HNTVBRUJKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDM2Mjk0TkZNV1BZS0g1Rk0wJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4NDM1MTVMSzg1UklJQUtUR1cmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
