  1. Your dad needs some training. (me too) I have used my CD player twice. Discontinued my Sirius. Don't carry a cell phone except when isolated at 'the lake.' But....I do like my auto dimming mirror.
  2. My automatic Temp control works as bbf2530 indicates. My set points are in increments of one degree from 65 degrees up. But an increment of 5 degrees from 60 to 65. Is this 5 degree 'jump' normal?. It seems that sometimes I 'need' a set point between 60 & 65 degrees.
  3. Thanks for your post. On my non-hybrid 2010 Fusion I4 SEL, I did not have to disconnect the return cord in order to remove the cabin filter. The filter will just clear the cord. My filter was clean, like new except for a couple of mosquitoes. Regards, Bob B.
  4. Just in case anyone is wondering......the non-hybrid fusion can accomodate 10' planks with the trunk closed. I hauled three 2 X 8 X 10' planks in one load but needed a piece of carpet to protect the top of the dash. 9' planks would fit without using the dash. Regards, Bob B.
  5. Statistics aside. When passing a slower moving vehicle (or a line of holiday trailers/motorhomes) going in the same direction, on a two lane highway, I find DRLs a great benefit in seeing oncoming traffic. Drivers wake up real quickly when seeing oncoming lights in "their" lane. Regards from Canada.
  6. Frustrating for me too so I don't use that display. My 1993 Grand Marquis indicates a number.
  7. Yes, those are my thoughts too. I also removed the dealership license plate frame for the same reason.
  8. I had the same problem with a 1993 Grand Marquis. It became progressively worse until I had to deal with it. The problem turned out to be the brake light switch. This really surprised me and it was a cheap fix. I guess the brake light circuit enables the shift. Maybe a relay or some other gizmo.
  9. My thanks to all. The hair dryer and Goo-Gone did the job.
  10. I forgot to instruct my dealership to NOT apply their logo on my 2010 Fusion. This logo is clear plastic with black lettering and it is applied to the trunk lid, to the left of the license plate. Does anyone have a fix for this? I want it gone!
  11. Well, I have never seen that bracket installed. My 2010 Fusion was delivered with that bracket in a plastic bag in the trunk. (not needed in my location) If it is secured with pop rivets, they are easily drilled out. Aluminum rivets are very easy to drill and stainless steel more difficult. The same drill bit is used for Al and SS. Regards from Canada. Grey Cup Sunday.
  12. Thanks for your response. We do get a fair amount of snow here but not as much as in Calgary. I didn't think that you folks would ever see snow. Sorry to belabor the point regarding fog lamps not having a cover lense, but... If you get down on your hands and knees and with flashlight in hand, look throught the plastic (like expanded metal) beside the bulb and socket, you can see how the housing is like a funnel. This "funnel" has an opening at the back end. Wondering if this is to allow air into some area of the engine. If this housing funnel fills with wet snow, it will freeze in place. I guess that's not a big deal as long as the socket doesn't mind. The socket is exposed to rain. When bugs pack into that area and become baked, they will be hard to remove. Yes a cover lense would be great.
