Hi everyone, Just a follow-up to my post last week on this subject. I took the ST to my Ford dealer and they said the fuse blew. That was it! I told them there has to be more to all the brake lights not working than a blown fuse. Something caused the fuse to blow. I did...

A similar thing happened to me about a year ago. However, in my case it was a downshift from 3 to 2 and the slipping started. Scared the crap out of me. Within a couple of months, the blinking light of death ( OD light ) started and eventually cost me $1,500.00 to repair the valve...

Thanks everyone. I'll check this out tomorrow. BTW, I never used the tilt feature until about a week ago. I took the ST to my local FORD dealer for repairs and the mechanic took it for a ride and put the wheel up 2 clicks. I lowered it and now this shows up. Some luck - huh? Steve

Hi all ! I have a fast question. I just had to return home with my 2001 ST because my brake lights aren't working. Could it possibly be a fuse? Or possibly a brake light switch? I need to travel tomorrow and I need to get this repaired immediately. As tomorrow is Sunday, it sort...

What I'd like to know is did both pilots on the Atlas Air B747 have their heads up their a$$ ! I fly every week. Things like this scare the crap out of me. As the slower moving plane, the 747 crew should have been watching better. What was the final outcome of this. Were the 747...

I want to do exactly the same thing, but have not found any help on this topic. Steve

Information ( knowledge ) is power. Obviously, Ford doesn't want educated customers. It makes their BS line tougher to sell, and swallow. I am very happy with the information I get in this forum. Ford can go pound it ! I can tell you that every time I mention this forum the my Ford...

Larry, I think the lettering font was more script than block font. It was very classy looking. This particular ST also had the cap over the bed and looked awesome. Steve

Hey everybody, I have a fast question. Last week, I saw a newer Sport Trac ( this, or last years model ) that had a very nice ID plate in the front license plate bracket. It read "Sport Trac" and looked quote nice. I didn't get a chance to talk to the driver as he pulled away before...

Hello to my fellow ST owners. I have a 2001 ST and my 6 CD stereo just crapped-out. I am currently having a Ford service center look at the stereo to see if it can be repaired. Since it is now more than five years old, I am considering buying an aftermarket stereo/CD player. I...

And on that note, I'm taking it in to the dealer next week ! Thanks all ! Steve

Ions, Thanks for the positive note on this subject. Just once I'd like to be the exception to the rule.:rolleyes: Steve

Bumper-to-bumper you say - huh?:blink: That's pretty much what the dealer's service dept. has been doing...... going from the front bumper to the rear bumper looking for something..... anything......:(

Hi Stonemiser, To the best of my recollection, it always seems to do this as soon as I let off the brake. It may happen sometimes once I start to accelerate. One sort of goes with the other, you know! ;) Steve

Hi Gavin, Can you please be a little more specific for me here? What exactly is the driveshaft slip joint? Is this a sort-of telescoping driveshaft mechanism of sorts? Guess I will have to inform my Ford dealer of this so I want to sound a little more knowledgeable.:rolleyes...

Allen, Thanks for the potentially bad news. How expensive are we talking about?:o Steve

Good evening all ! I have a 2001 4x4 ST and I have been experiencing a strange problem for about a year now. When I brake somewhat harder than normal and come to a complete stop, I often feel a slight thump, or shift, or unloading phenomenon once I let off the brake petal. You don't...

Hi everyone ! Got a strange one for all of you to comment on. The other day while driving home I noticed that the overdrive indicator idiot light on the instrument cluster was blinking. When I depressed the OD button on the end of the shift handle, the transmission would not alter...

Thanks! How might I get in contact with CoastieJoe ? Steve

Hi everyone, I started a thread here back on 8/7/05 ragarding adding leather seats to my '01 ST. Sorry it took me so darn long to get back to this thread. I've been away on a business trip from hell. To answer one question, my seats are the 2001 grey cloth. To answer another...
