Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Installing JBL - MS8 Amplifier
I am in the process of installing my JBL-MS8 amplifier.
I am having a hard time finding a source of switched power. I thought I could easily access the cigarette lighter power. When I removed the side access panels, the seat heater vent was in the way.
Any good place to access switched power? Is there an easy way to get to the cigarette lighter power?
Ford Wiring/Electrical :: 1985 F150 - Location Of Cruise Control Amplifier
Where is the cruise control amplifier located on an 85 F-150? The Chilton manual just says "behind the instrument panel". No pic or further description. Just looking up from the bottom of the dash I see a "black box" with 2 wires going into the top of it located just between the steering column and the wiper switch.
Is this it?
Ford Excursion :: Amplifier Install Complete Diagram?
I've got 2 amps/ subs I'm trying to install. I've got a couple of questions. How have you ran your power cable? Is there an opening or access that is pre-existing or did you have to drill an area in the firewall? With the factory head unit, which wire do I need to tap for the turn on wire? Also, just a side note. The second row headrests have been replaced with monitors which I plan on removing. I'm assuming they have some type of power cables already ran for them? Would they have the turn on wire as well? I haven't had time to see how they're wired up yet. If the wires are large enough I may just add a fuse in-line and call it a day. I guess it depends on how they are wired in. But if I can use the pre-existing wires there for either the power or the turn on wire it would make the install a lot easier.

The stock radio in my 2003 X seems to have lost a lot of volume. I assume there is a stock amplifier but where it would be. Is it internal to the radio? I did check all fuses that were related to the radio.

Ford Excursion :: Installing Fuel Pump?
I just got my Bosch fuel pump from Riff Faff and will be installing it this weekend.
I want to add a Pre and Post filters to the pump and had a couple of questions
1) the threaded end that's under pressure what is that connection.. I would like it hard connected to a filter and then the stock line connected to the out put of the filter.
2) for Pre Filter its a push Lock connection... Should I keep it or look for something that works better under Vacuum?

Ford Excursion :: Installing 3 In 1 GlowShift Gauge
I am in the process of installing this gauge and I am having a heck of a time finding the right power points at the fuse box. The gauge requires both a switched 12v power supply and a constant 12v power supply. I am going to use one of the power outlets as the switched supply but cannot determine a constant supply without running wire all the way to the battery. Wiring and electrical stuff is just not my forte!
View 5 RepliesFord Excursion :: Installing A Rear Door Glass?
I just had a heck of a day. I was using my weed whacker to clean up my front yard before the city got on my case- we got a bunch of rain so the desert is oddly very green. Anyway, I was working on the other side of my yard when I hear a sickening, loud pop sound. I turn off the trimmer and go to look at the Ex, thinking a rock somehow hit the door panel pretty hard. No damage. Weird, I think.
As I'm turning around, my eyes glance up to see... my driver's side rear door window in a million pieces being held together by the tint. Holy. Dang. My trimmer kicked up a rock which flew a good 25-30 feet and shattered my door glass.
So, I am planning on ordering a replacement glass online. I's it a very difficult job? I have done window glass before, but just in old trucks and cars- 1960 Falcon, 1969 F100, 1970 F500, 1976 Jaguar XJ-12. Never did a new truck.
Ford Excursion :: 2000 - Installing Water Pump?
I came out of work to see a fair amount of fluid on the ground under my excursion (2000 limited 7.3l 4x4). So I checked my fluids and found the coolant low and all the other fluids were good,. I had some in the excursion (not sure why I had it but it was there ). Filled it as much as I could started the truck and there it was a pretty big leak from my water pump. I was able to get one (new one lifetime warranty from an auto parts place, Ford was closed) so now on my day off instead of relaxing I will be installing a water pump. I guess it was about time. I figured since I was there I might as well flush the system. How many gallons of coolant this will take to refill the whole system?

I found that both my headlights was out. I went and replaced one of the lamps and found that it still did not work. I started troubleshooting and it led me to the headlight relay. Where to find it?
*When I turn Headlight switch on = No Headlights
*When I turn the switch to auto = No Headlights
*When I turn the switch to headlights and hit the function switch to turn on brights = No Brights either
*If I pull back on the function switch to momentary = Brights come on until I release the function switch
I have 13v on Red/Yellow wire when I switch to headlights, but I do not have any voltage at the Headlamp wires.

Ford Excursion :: Heater Duct Location?
I am preparing for an automatic to ZF6 speed swap and would like to know if a heater duct runs along the transmission hump?
I have seen other swaps and the owner had to cut the duct.
Are there any models that won't have the duct?
