    Key fob and key shank re-programming issues

    One of my remotes was intermittent; it wouldn't work until I lighty tapped it. I originally thought the battery was dying, so I opened up the the fob to test the battery. It turned out the battery was good, but it wasn't making proper contact with the circuit board. The connections had sheared...

    Is this our same brake switch?

    I also looked up the 2005 and 2006 LR3 on the NHTSA website. There was no mention of a switch related recall.

    Is this our same brake switch?

    Did a search on the NHTSA website. Here is what came up under 2005 Ford Ranger: Summary: FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 RANGER TRUCKS BUILT FROM JANUARY 25, 2011, THROUGH APRIL 25, 2011 AT THE TWIN CITIES ASSEMBLY PLANT, AND SERVICE PARTS DISTRIBUTED TO DEALERS FOR CERTAIN 2004...

    Is this our same brake switch?

    The article says Ford will start notifying owners August 15. Would be nice to know before then if this does affect us.

    Bushing Questions

    Question about step 8 Reviving an old thread. I tried removing the control arms to replace the bushings about a month ago. I got stuck on step 8 of the directions which says to free the ball joint from the control arm. I am assuming this step is referring to the lower control arm and ball...

    Faded exterior trim

    I'm in the process of using Forever Black on my trim, and so far I am happy with the results. I've only done a couple of the trim pieces so far as each piece needs to be washed with the included soap, dried, and taped off to prevent getting FB on the paint. It seems that you need to apply a...

    05- LR3 ->Water leakage after drive thru Car wash & Sunroof remote will not work

    One other area that water can enter is through the windshield wiper cowl. With time, the black plastic piece begins to warp and pull away from the windshield, allowing water to seep in. Underneath the cowl is the fresh air intake, which now brilliantly doubles as a water scoop. You can verify if...

    HDC Fault, CC Fault, Speakers cutting in and out

    I had a similar issue with the speaker cutting in and out. At low volumes, the woofer would stop working, until I cranked up the volume and then the speaker would "pop" back in. This seems to be a common issue on other forums. I was able to fix the problem by removing the driver's door panel and...

    Suspension Fault

    I believe the compressor rebuild kit only address the dryer, seals, and other non-moving parts. When my compressor died, it was the motor that had burned out. It all started with the yellow suspension light, and a week or two later evolved into a red light with the vehicle lowering to the bump...

    Suspension Fault

    ALL-STAR1, your suspension fault will need to be addressed at some point, otherwise you will eventually find yourself driving a very bumpy lowrider. Have you tried raising the vehicle to off road height? That would be one way to test if the suspension compressor needs to be replaced.

    Suspension Fault Warning Light-freaking out!!

    Take a look at your brake lights and make sure they are coming on properly. Also remove the suspension compressor cover and take a listen to see if there are any unusual sounds or if you can feel air leaking. Those are a couple of good places to start with.

    Who Has Changed Transmission Fluid????

    The LR3 doesn't have a transmission fluid dipstick. To check the fluid level, you have to get under the vehicle. Here are the official instructions for checking the fluid level. As mentioned in the directions, the car must be idling in order for the fluid to be checked. Otherwise, fluid will...

    Who Has Changed Transmission Fluid????

    Somebody in this thread mentioned the dealer wanted $2600 to do the fluid change. Somebody in this thread mentioned $275 for the dealer to do ALL the fluids. The real price for a transmission fluid change is probably closer to the second quote. If you can do your own oil change, you can...

    Who Has Changed Transmission Fluid????

    I just changed my transmission fluid yesterday at close to 80,000 miles on my 05 LR3. The dealer fluids being way too expensive, I did some research and found what I think is close to if not the same fluid, Pentosin ATF1, at a very good price. When I opened the fill plug, a lot of fluid...

    Front Diff(s)

    Eightlug, is it possible you overfilled the diffs? The rear takes 1.1L and the front 0.61L. When converted, that is less than 2 quarts. The "official" directions indicate not to fill up to the filler plug level...

    Has anybody ever bought anything from www.roverpartswest.com?

    Ordered some ARB bushings off the site and they were delivered pretty quickly. Looks like they are the online arm of a Las Vegas LR dealership. The prices are very good, particularly with shipping factored in. Just discovered today that they also sell fluids, but you have to search for those by...
