My stuck CD came out on its own a day or two later. Craig R.

It was not an aftermarket lock but a lock for a different tonneau cover. It turns out the original lock cylinder that is appropriate for the '02 is available again! Part number is 1L5Z-3543262-BB. Just Google that number and you will see who carries it. Turns out I didn't have to replace my...

I have the exact same issue with my wife's '06 Escape. With her car it appears to be a nozzle design issue. I have no problems at certain service stations. At others it's a time consuming process! My "sort of a solution" is to hold the nozzle up and not let it rest on the filler neck edge...

Before I take my '02 ST back to the locksmith I wanted to run a couple of things by members of this forum. The rear lock on my factory tonneau cover is broken. The key will not go down all the way. My locksmith played with it for awhile but had no luck. This was back in November of 2021...

I posted this back on December 8th. https://sporttrac.org/threads/tonneau-cover-lock-assembly-is-available.123311/ Craig R.

No problem as I actually realized that is was a completely different lock assembly. Turns out the factory original lock cylinder for the early ST's is available again. Hooray! Craig R.

About a week ago I decided to do a Google search AGAIN for the elusive 1L5Z-3543262-BB lock assembly for the early factory tonneau cover. Much to my surprise I found it to be listed as available through more than one Ford parts source! I ordered one from Cheaper Ford Parts out of Sacramento...

Congrats on a nice find! Anxious to see some pics. Craig R.

I'm looking for a factory tonneau cover lock for my '02 ST. Working condition preferred but I will take a non-working one also as I would try to have the latter rebuilt by my locksmith. Unfortunately, there are apparently no viable replacement lock choices available at this time. Thanks very...

I need to replace the lock on the rear of my factory tonneau cover. The vehicle is an '02 ST. I've attached a couple of pics of the lock assembly. Will the above referenced aftermarket lock cylinder work? My locksmith will key it to match my existing key. Craig R.

Sometimes the keys need some gentle persuasion to turn in the lock cylinder. Mine are like that. I have to wiggle them around to get them to work. A little shot of powdered graphite into the lock cylinder can be helpful. Craig R.

I know exactly what you mean. I had to do the exact same thing with my wife's 6 CD player in her Escape. What a PITA! I've told her to please only load and play one at a time. I don't want to go through that again! Craig R.

The problem fixed itself! Went for a walk at the track this morning. When I finished and got back in my truck, I discovered the CD had popped out on its own. Now I'm not sure just how often I'll be using the CD player down the road. Craig R.

The factory Pioneer 6-CD sound system in my '02 Sport Trac won't eject the CD. I've only owned the vehicle a few months and this is the first time I've used the CD. It plays great but now I can't get the CD to eject. In browsing the web I see several approaches to CD removal (disconnect...

Thanks for the info! I'm not much for gambling and always head to the gas station before it gets to that point. Just nice to know how much leeway I have. Craig R.

According to my 2002 owner's manual this light will also come on when the fuel is low. Does anyone know approximately how much fuel remains when this warning light is triggered? Thanks! Craig R.

For some unknown reason all of my factory visor decals have been torn off. All that remains is some of the adhesive residue. Are these available anywhere. Thanks! Craig R.

Thanks, my friend! Great info as that was just what I was looking for. Searching the web yielded minimal info. Craig R.

I'm going to purchase a DashMat for my 2002 and need to know if my dash has any sensors before I order. I came across this hole just to the right (as you're sitting in vehicle) of the defroster duct. Is this a light sensor? I've searched the owner's manual from beginning to end along with the...

My CarFax verifies that the mileage is original. As an aside, it is actually a one owner vehicle (if you don't count the original dealer that sold it). Craig R.
