#3 of 69 Re: LS Electrical Problems [wib64] by eckhard Mar 17, 2006 (10:13 pm)
Replying to: wib64 (Mar 04, 2006 4:37 pm) Did you ever find the cause of the electrical problem that caused the sunroof to open by itself? Did it ever recur? We had this happen this week during a rainstorm. The doors unlocked, all the windows came down, and the roof opened. Otherwise, it has been a good, reliable car.

Replying to: eckhard (Mar 17, 2006 10:13 pm) I think if you press and hold the unlock button on your key remote, your windows will come down and your sunroof will open. It's in the manual and it happened to me once.

#7 of 69 Heated seat element by brucelinc Mar 23, 2006 (5:57 am)
We know early LSs were prone to heated seat element failures. I have been knocking on wood and patting myself on the back for having a 4/99 build LS that seemed immune to this issue and the others that have been documented. Well, my luck just ran out. Drivers side was cold as a stone this morning! Passenger side is still toasty. Seven years and 104,000 miles in Minnesota has finally taken it's toll.   Anyone ever tackle the element replacement themselves?

Replying to: brucelinc (Mar 23, 2006 5:57 am) I think one person did, but since you have seat mounted side airbags it's risky. It's about $300 through the dealer or you can get any upholstery shop that does car seats to do it since most of the work involves removing the seat and the upholstery.

Replying to: akirby (Mar 23, 2006 6:46 am) Thanks, Allen. I will do some checking with local shops who add heated seats.   They say problems come in "3s." Let's see....COPs a couple of weeks ago.....heated seats this week.....OH, BOY! I might get to put in new power window regulators next week!!   I still can't complain - except it would have been nice if the seat heater had failed while under warranty like a lot of my fellow LS owner's did.

Replying to: brucelinc (Mar 23, 2006 7:57 am) Yep - most (including mine) failed within the first 2 years.   If you need regulators you can now get just the regulator by itself for < $30 (check with Bill Jenkins at Team Ford in Las Vegas). You reuse the motor from the old one. First one takes about 2 hours to do but after that it's a 45 minute job.
#11 of 69 Changing 3rd brake light bulb by shyoung Apr 09, 2006 (10:04 am)
I have a 2000 LS, and am wondering how I change the 3rd brake light bulb? I can't figure out how to get in it! 5 years and 200,000 miles isn't bad! Steve Replies to this message: gkarg (Apr 11, 2006 8:40 am)

Replying to: shyoung (Apr 09, 2006 10:04 am) Steve,   To change the 3rd brake light - I believe all you have to do is push down on the plastic housing and then pull it toward you. If I remember correctly there is a little step in the groove and once that is released, it should slide right off.
