A few days ago I turned on the AC and set it at 70...and it was HOT. I turned the fan all the way up, and hot air. I let it run for a minute or so just to see what happened...nothing but hot. I had to bring the temp down into the mid 60s before it started to get cold, I then brought it back up...

I recall reading somewhere that removing some of the badges on the STs are a pain in the ass. Has anyone encountered this? I am looking to remove all of the badges/lettering minus the ovals...just want to know what I am getting myself into and if anyone has had success with any particular method.

Does anyone have a preference of run flat tires? Does anyone have them on their ST?

All, Other than performance improvements, does a tune provide any other benefits or noticeable changes / improvements? Thanks!

TIL... If you lock the car with the B post keypad (hit 7/8, 9/0 at the same time), it overrides the car feature that prevents the car from locking while the keys are in it. Picture, if you will, a 6'4" 285lb guy climbing into his car through the sunroof, which I just happen to have forgotten...

Between 5 and 30 miles an hour I started noticing a metallic rattling sound, like sheet metal loose. Started all of a sudden around 4k miles. After a bit of research I found there is a TSB on it regarding flex pipes getting loose. Simple fix, put worm clamps on it. Took the car to the...

I know there are a lot of us around, I see at least 2 STs a week in the DC Metro area, and recently I keep seeing the same white ST with DC tags in NW DC and a grey one with MD tags on DC 295. Anyway, lets do a meetup. I think it would be cool to meet at the Pentagon and take a drive up or down...

I took a break driving in the snow yesterday, parked in an empty lot and turned the car off. Woke up 45 min later, turned the car on, noticed android auto was not starting. After some investigation it seems that neither the USB-C or A ports are working anymore. Not for charging, not for android...

Driving in snow....annoyances... Drove from Philly to DC yesterday, just got to the Northern edge of Philly when it started to snow, encountered significant snow and freezing rain at the DE/MD border. Problems I encountered... At first lane keep assist was working more-or-less OK, occasional...

Has anyone looked at how the red "ST" logo puddle lights are actually constructed? I wonder if anyone could look into making different graphics / filters for them?

Hey all. I am an emergency service professional, working for a Federal agency, I also own my own company. I am not real big into performance mods (anymore). I am into functional utilitarian mods. I've owned it for a little under 2 months now, so far I have not done anything. I have a new set...

FYI there is a great write-up on installing an aftermarket sub and amp over on explorerforum - https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/forums/modified-2020-explorer-aviator-tuning-mods.200/

Because I bought it in PA, where there are no front license plates. I live in VA, which does have them, so I asked the dealership to put one on. I made the appointment Monday, brought it in today, After waiting for 45 minutes (after my appointment), I was told that they did not have it in stock...

Does anyone have an idea for putting some lights in the rear cargo area? My apartment garage is pretty dark, and I cant see a damn thing in the rear of the car when I am in there. Is there an overhead light of some sort anyone is aware of that might work? LED light strips or something?

I was going to post this in the midatlantic section, but there is not much activity there. MODS feel free to move this... Do you fellow DC/NOVA/MD guys want to meet up in the next few weeks? I know there are at least 6 of us on here.

This is an offshoot of the thread regarding the stock B&O system... For those of you planning to change it, what are you planning to do? back 20 years ago I used to be into car audio and did a fair number of installs, but nothing with "modern" integrated infotainment systems, but I cant...

Does anyone know if anyone has messed with "rooting" or accessing the actual hardware that sync runs on? TBT this is the first car I've owned with an actual infotainment system (Im 33 and this is only the 4th car I've owned). I am casually into various .SECs and am just curious of some of the...

Has anyone done this? How much does it block/cover?

Hey all. I spend a lot of time outside of the US for work, and as a result my vehicle is left unattended for long periods of time. Does anyone use, or have used an aftermarket security system that can send you alerts to your phone? So say I am in Africa somewhere and my car alarm goes off, I...

Overall, I am happy with everything, however sometimes some of the driver assist functions just get in my way, so to speak. This afternoon, for example, I was backing into a space and I kept getting a proximity warning for the left rear quarter panel when there was nothing there but a shadow...
