Someone please tell me I’m not crazy here! I’ve got a 2017 Ford Explorer Limited and within the past month, I noticed that my exterior lights were no longer working according to which setting I had the control knob on. I will explain in as much detail as possible below. Before I go into that though, I wanted to mention that I took my vehicle to a local Ford dealership, and they told me there was no issue and that the lights were working as intended. I swear it’s not right and am hoping to get other opinions to either tell me I am, in fact, crazy, or that there really is an issue here (and what a fix might be if anyone knows). Here's what’s happening. There are four settings on the exterior light control. A. Off (Daytime Running Lights on – DRLs) B. Parking Lamps C. Headlamps D. Auto Lamps From the owner’s manual: Note: I have the Conventional (Non-Configurable) DRLs When I have the vehicle in Park (P), all 4 settings work as intended. However, once I put the vehicle into any gear (Reverse, Neutral, Drive), both the Daytime Running Lamps and Headlamps are always on regardless of the control setting. This is the part that I don’t believe is correct, as the Headlamps specifically should only come on if I have the control set to either “C” – Headlamps, or “D” – Auto lamps (AND it is dark enough for the lamps to turn on). Otherwise, only the Daytime Running Lights should be on. And I know they used to work this way, up until about a month ago. Here are pictures of what I just described: 1. Vehicle is in Park (P) and the setting is on either “A”, “B”, or “D” (and it is light enough for no Headlamps): 2. Vehicle is in any gear (Reverse, Neutral, Drive) and the exterior light control is on any setting (including “A” - Off). Both DRLs and Headlamps are always on: Hopefully that all makes sense. If there are questions or clarification needed, please let me know. I’m planning to try and take it to a different Ford dealership for a second opinion, but I wanted to also see if anyone else has experienced this or knew of what the issue might be. I know it’s a minor issue, but I like my vehicles to work correctly. But if I am really going crazy, please let me know, ha!

My driver side window will not roll down. Nothing happens when I push the button down. When I pull up on the button I can hear the relay switch click, but nothing at all when I push down… Anyone know what’s wrong? or how to fix this? ** It’s warm where I live so it’s not frozen

Hey everyone, I have been searching for specs on the turbos used in the 2017 3.5L V6 ecoboost. I’m looking to add a bov if compatible. Any info would be appreciated. Google has failed me.

earnings Q2 results war: FORD vs GM
bank_on_carrie posted a topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
According to my analysis of the recent news and results, it is clear that Ford is kicking GM's behind. General Motors not only lost to Ford in revenue, but also ended up deciding to shelf the CHEVROLET brand in two emerging markets — India and South Africa. Meanwhile, Ford is relatively untouched by the American auto industry slowdown. What do you guys think of this?? Will Ford continue to batter GM? Will GM make a comeback? -
Fox business news channel did a piece yesterday December 8 on the new raptors coming to dealer show rooms. They mentioned a software problem as reason for delays. Can be seen as video report on FBN by searching 2017 Raptor FBN
