Small possibility that they were not the correct screws? Too long a screw would short into the circuit boards and trash the radio. Been there done that....Odds are the connection is loose as 06FordFX4 stated above.

I suppose it depends upon how long he waits to repaint it. Long term, any primer absorbs water. Painted vehicles for a living for 15 years. True that it MAY cause issues when/if he puts REAL paint on it. The right primer at that time can solve those issues. Any hidden spot, the farm paint will...

Watch out because primer will absorb water and rust if left on for long periods. I say paint it with the farm paint. From the rust belt.....

Good luck

I checked the box and they were the standard ones. At least that's what the box said...

These are heat shrunk and soldered also. I had difficulty heat shrinking the light socket. I went this route for several reasons. I could have cut the original harness and soldered in the L1224R sockets but I want to be able to move these to my next Ranger. Also if one of these happens to blow...

Yes, they are close to the rear lens. The clear dome is just a lens itself. I don't think I would want to use these for parking lights. As reverse lights they will be fine. I do need something for the front parking lights. I may have to hook a set of these to a battery and see how hot they get...

Got the upper control arms installed today. I ended up with made in China ones. Not what I wanted but, when you deal with internet, sometimes things don't go as planned. I think Rockauto misrepresented them, but it's not worth me fighting over it. I needed them in and done. Inspection is due the...

Intake manifold leak?

L1224r's are in...They are about twice as bright as the standard filament bulb. Nice even light. I am pleased with them. The last photo is with the L1224R on the passenger side and filament bulb on the drivers side. Photo is with 4 way hazards on.

Thanks Bob. That's the precise information that I was looking for. They will stay at 11.28" then.

I am going to need front rotors the next time I do brakes. I want to get them ahead of time. Rockauto lists various sizes. I am in my air conditioned house at the moment and feeling too lazy to go pull a wheel. It's (well it started out as):) a 2003 2wd EDGE. What diameter should the rotors be...

Yes, I think so too. Bought them at Rockauto about a year ago..I was suspicious when they were so hard to get in. I don't remember the ones I put in my 97 being so tough. I can check the boxes tomorrow, but that doesn't always mean much. It's done and they are in. Now I need to replace the...

Just a heads up for anyone who reads this in the future...I just did lower balljoints in my 03 2wd w torsion bars. DO NOT get the MOOG problem solver lower balljoints if this is first or second time someone is changing lower balljoints on your truck.. The MOOG prob solver lowers are slightly...

I would start with replacing the rusty panels with good used parts.

I doubt that it's a problem for reverse lights. They are not on that long.

Thanks for the video comparison. I enjoyed that...I really need the chrome front bumper....

The bulbs I bought did not light at first. I flipped them and they still did not work. I had to flip the connection wires to the opposite side to make contact with the Ford socket.

Here is a photo of the bulbs. I did not like the black so I used some aluminum tape to cover it and add reflectivity. Here is the link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151032796649?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1424.l2649

Some photos..LED backups and 06 tails.
