4 quick questions
Hi All, we have a 2004 Ford Freestar (base, 3.9L, automatic trans) and we have 4 quick questions that we hope folks here may have some suggestions and advice on:
1) What light bulbs go in the headlight (above the headlight bulb). I know the turn signal bulb is 3357, the headlight bulb is H13, but I don't know what the top light is? I think it is a running light but appears to be in an amber display.
2) Any suggestions on how to repair the dim odometer in the instrument cluster? We have the basic model so we don't get the whole display (that tells you when an oil change is needed, etc). Ours just shows the mileage but that is almost impossible to read in the daylight. I remember seeing something on YouTube long ago on how to fix this issue but I can't find it now. I can see it at night, when it is dark outside, so I know it is working. Just can't see it during the day - even with the brightness turned up all the way
3) Our back hatch wiper and 3rd brake light have never worked (bought the van used). My understanding is that they maybe wired together or even have the same fuse. Is this correct? Does anyone know what fuse, or fuses, to check? Or is there any other reason why they both may not work?
4) Our electric door locks do not respond at all anymore(we have to lock/unlock manually). When we first got the van it didn't come with a key-less entry remote. Once we got one of those online (and had it programmed) the locks worked for about a week or so. After that they would unlock OK when we hit the remote, but not lock. Now they don't lock or unlock at all (none of them). The car horn still sounds when we hit the lock button on the remote so i know the signal is getting to the van. I am sure that there are a lot of people have had this problem and i hope some can give some suggestions and advice on what or where to look or to trouble shoot.
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions and advice and any links to articles or videos that might help!
