I certainly need help writing an essay, but it's not like I'm posting a link to it on this site. While I thank you for the good resource, it's where cars are discussed.

Somebody on a Bronco Sport forum had a vehicle that wouldn’t start and they didn’t know how to get it out of park for the tow truck. I politely pointed out (as politely as I’m capable of) that the answer to both of those issues was in the owner’s manual and was promptly called as asshole for trying to educate people. Excuse me for trying to help someone not be stranded for hours waiting for an answer they could find themselves in less than 5 minutes.

You mean like how my 2022 explorer manual still says my explorer has front window de-icer when it in fact it doesn’t? It was only in the 2020. Yeah, those manuals are real dependable and have all the answers. Edited December 12, 2021 by st8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand. I don’t want anyone to get in trouble. I was looking for the info because ford tells me my 22 ST with 401a should have leds ambient lighting in the cupholder. But I don’t. And my dealer is worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand your frustration but can tell you that eSourceBook won't help with why your vehicle doesn't have the Ambient Lighting feature included with the #401A High Package on the 2022 Explorer ST as noted in the 2022 Explorer Order Guide. If your Dealer hasn't submitted a Misbuilt Vehicle Claim or tried submitting a warranty claim, or is unable or unwilling to assist you further, I'd suggest calling Ford and filing a complaint regarding the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, this is no different than someone coming on a forum and asking a question that has been asked dozens of times and not using the "search" function first to find the answer. Instead, they are IMO lazy and always want others to do the work for them. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to know something I go to the manual first either physically or find it online. Only takes a few minutes. I only ask if I can’t find the answer. But it seems some people would rather just stay in the dark before they spend 5 minutes finding the answer on their own. And if you call them out they get nasty and say “that’s what forums are for”. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
