Replying to: fordmangt350 (Jan 05, 2008 9:32 pm) fordmangt350, by Ford in your Owner's Guide; "Electronic Compass Factors affecting compass accuracy The compass reading can be affected when you drive near a number of things — such as large buildings, bridges, power lines, and powerful antennas. Your compass can also be affected by magnetic or metallic objects placed in or on the vehicle. If the compass is giving inaccurate readings, perform the following compass adjustments. Compass adjustments There are two possible adjustments to the compass: Zone and Calibration. Zone adjustment 1. Determine which zone of the country you are in by referring to the following zone map. Zone map 2. Press and hold the “MODE” button until the “VAR” indicator appears in the display (approximately 4 seconds). 3. Release the “MODE” button. The display will now show the current zone number that is stored in the compass. 4. Press the “MODE” button repeatedly (or press and hold in) until the desired zone number appears in the display (once it reaches 15, the next press of the button will set it to 1). 5. Release the “MODE” button when the desired zone number is displayed. After approximately three seconds the display will flash all segments and then return to normal operation. Zone is now updated. Calibration adjustment 1. Find an open area that is free from steel structures and high voltage lines. An open parking lot is a good example. 2. Press and hold the “MODE” button until the “CAL” indicator appears in the display (approximately 8 seconds). NOTE: You cannot perform calibration unless the display reads “CAL.” 3. Release the “MODE” button. 4. Once the “CAL” indicator has appeared, drive the vehicle slowly (less than 3 mph / 5 km/h) in 360° circles until the “CAL” indicator turns off. This will happen within 2 to 3 complete circles."   by Steve83 and Ford; Test it's sensor. If it's good, replace the module inside the console. But it has a built-in error.

#103 of 175 85 Bronco Noises by jmoney11 Jan 12, 2008 (2:16 am)
I have an 85 bronco XLT, inline 6, 4 speed, and it seems like once I drive it and get it warm, 5- 10 minutes, it starts making this sqealing sound almost like a belt is loose. It goes aways once I come off the clutch and am on the gas from about 1200 rpm 2200 rpm, anyone have any ideas to what it is? Replies to this message: miesk5 (Jan 13, 2008 11:03 am)

Replying to: jmoney11 (Jan 12, 2008 2:16 am) Jmoney   Hard to guess at from here, some some suggestions; ez stuff first   Could be just the belt(s); can you get a helper to listen for location of the sound using a piece of graden hose or cardboard tube (gift wrap, etc.)? Be careful of fan! and hot radiator, etc. Belt worn or stretched to maximum take-up length of system. Tension force not sufficient. next is the pulley pulley has been marred in belt tracking area. Pulley or tensioner are worn. Pulley does not rotate smoothly or has a sticky feel to it when spun Worn bearing   GL
#105 of 175 need help on wiring code by jmctague Jan 15, 2008 (8:02 am)
my son bought as is not running for $400.00 1990 Bronco11 xlt, 2.9litre. he had to buy a new battery, fuel filter and a new fuel pump. with sending unit for fuel gage. $139. + the plug for the fuel pump relay was bad. this is the help we need to find out where the color coded wires go to a differant pig tail. which of course are a differant color. i did'nt write down the poistion of the wires. (not wise) anyway the wires on the Bronco is blk-yel / org-blu / brn-grn /red - org-lite blu. the other plugs colors are three in a row are blk-red-brn. on the other side across from the black wire is a yellow wire. we need this information to get this vehicle running we hope. his work site is 16 miles twice a day it's killing me on the gas i have to use. i'm on a fixed income. so if some one could take the time to do some research or knows some one that has this model find out the code's? on this Bronco the fuel relay is on the passinger side. Please help us (JERRY) Replies to this message: steve_ (Jan 15, 2008 8:43 am)

Replying to: jmctague (Jan 15, 2008 8:02 am) Hi Jerry, I found some wiring diagrams at the Automotive Repair Reference Center database online via my public library (you may be able to access something similar - check the Online Repair Manuals guide for links).   Meanwhile, I don't see a '90 2.9l, just a 2.3L, a 3.0L and a 4.0L engine. I'll email you a pdf file of the 3.0 L one that has a wiring diagram. Hopefully you can make heads or tails of it!

I have a 96 Bronco with the 5.8. At times the engine turns over very slow. Timing is good, starter is new, battery is new & and alternator good any ideas ? Replies to this message: miesk5 (Jan 17, 2008 1:23 pm) 96xlt (Jan 20, 2008 10:46 pm)

Replying to: 96xlt (Jan 16, 2008 1:54 pm) yo!   check positive and negative cables & connectors at the battery -look at wire strands u\for corrosion here and all cited below; cable/connector may look good, but a lot of times, corrosion is within strands creeping up into connectors   NEG (ground cables) to the engine (pass side below intake manifold (ck ground "bar" (metal ) there for rust, corrosion and tightness) and then down to engine block/frame' also from "bar" to firewall wire   Pos (+) to the starter relay, to starter (sometimes they loosen/corrode). Check all the connectors too. Ck alternator wires to batty   GL!
