Is a Sport Trac worth more or less to a dealer / buyer with extras on it? The extras I am thinking about are: - KUAT brand roof carrier - Backup / rear PIAA aftermarket lights attached to roof basket - Westin Bull Bar - PIAA round fog lights attached to bull bar - OEM bed cover - OEM...

Police Interceptor SUV (Explorer) wheels on Sport Trac? Hi. I have a 2005 Sport Trac XLT. I have access to a set of 2015 Ford Police Interceptor SUV wheels. Does anyone know if they will fit? The Police steel high performance rims are 18" but I don't know the bolt pattern, offset, etc...

I don't know if this is cold weather related or not. Last year after a snow strip my remote mirrors failed. After a week they came back to life. This year, same thing. After a trip to the snow the remotes failed. After two weeks I replaced the switch, no improvement. I checked the fuse, it...

DELETE. DUPLICATE.

2005 Trac in good shape, well maintained. This winter I took my truck to the snow. While there, the remote control for the side mirrors failed. When we got back to warm weather, I was going to take it in to the shop but the day I was going the remote function returned. Went to the snow a...

I use both a bicycle and motorcycle rack (at separate times) on the back of my Trac. They block the rear license plate, even if no bike is on the rack. I wanted to relocate the plate to the upper left corner of my tailgate: <img...

2005 ST. I have an Optima battery, less than two years old, installed and it usually works fine. Last week after two days of not being started, I went to use the ST and it wouldn't start. It had this strange, rapid clicking sound (sounded like it was from behind the dash) and the gauge needles...

I am installing a PIAA wiring harness for a set of the 510 lights. I would like the fogs to only be available when the headlights are on, but not to turn off (like the original built-in fog lights) when I hit the high beams. Which wire should I tap into for my "switched power" in my 2005...

Just noticed that the outside temp indicator was reading way high, 115 when it was maybe 72 degrees out. :banghead: Tried cycling through the info panel modes, turned the vehicle on and off a few times. The compass is right. This is from my 2005 Trac XLT. Any ideas? I did a search here...

For a couple of years I've been reading on this site about how big a difference shocks made on an ST. Alot of testimonials about how much the ride and handling improved, to the point that I was becoming skeptical. Well..I had a Sears rebate card from a recent washing machine purchase and...

I did a search without success. My driver's side rear door window stopped working on my 2005 XLT. Neither switch (driver's door, rear door) get any response. I assume that since all the other windows work fine, it is not a fuse problem(?). The lock function on the L/R door works. New...

I started up yesterday and noticed my scan gauge was blank, then blinking. After a couple minutes, it was fine. Coincidentally the mileage was 60,500 miles ('05 XLT). Was this a reset or something? Everything was fine after that. Is there anything I should have checked now that I am past...

I bought a dual connection (top posts and side connectors) Red Top Optima battery for my ST. My intent is to tap into the side connectors to run accessories. What is availble (and what are they called) that will allow me to tap into those side connectors and attach wiring of a much smaller gauge...

Several months ago I flashed a regular gas performance tune. This week I replaced my battery and while the terminals were getting cleaned, the car was without power for about 1/2 hour. I thought I read on another thread here that tunes should occasionally be re-flashed. Did I misinterpret...

Time to replace the OEM battery from my '05 XLT. I did several searches under Optima and also Battery without finding much info. What is the best possible Optima model (red top, yellow top, etc.) and what specs (group number, model #)? I understand I need an adaptor of sorts to make it...

I'm a regular visitor, as a cop, of the Skywalker Ranch which is where George Lucas and his people produce films such as Star Wars, Indy Jones, etc. Pretty incredible place, just beautiful and welcoming. Tough security to keep corporate spies and obsessed fans out. Drove my Trac out there...

One corner of my Ford rear window shade is seperating. The rest seems rock solid. It was new from Ford wen installed, and I followed the instructions carefully inc. the cleaning of the rubber. Is there a way to reattach the corner without taking off the shade and starting over? It's only a...

The cargo / third eye light I got through Zabteck is doing something strange. I only mention Zabteck because I have their custom plug assembly which differentiates it from other Recon lights. Facing the light from the rear bumper, the lower right set of three white lights blinks while the other...

When I owned regular cars, I always had a decent place to hide my off-duty gun and/or badge & ID wallet, usually deep in the trunk under something. With my Trac, I am always concerned about the smash and grab thief finding my toys while I'm parked at the gym, etc. I was thinking about a...

Going around corners, etc. that involve a weight shift causes my driver's seat to make a cracking or snapping sound. On cursory inspection, nothing seems out of the ordinary and the seat mount bolts are tight. I am of average weight so I don't think it is an overload/overstress issue. It's...
