    A couple of things

    Hey all

    Been wanting to address a couple of minor annoyances on the Marauder, but have not had luck with some of them.

    1. Attached is a pic of the front bumper. The obvious thing is where someone backed into the car with a tow hitch ... . That is not being fixed at this time. The second thing to notice is the small hole in the bumper The other three holes are filled with a plug. This one decided to that it no longer wanted to part of the Marauder and jumped ... Ford does not have a part number for them. I have been to a couple of local parts stores and they have nothing like these. Does anyone have an idea of where these came from and/or where to get another one?

    2. My headlights come on after the car is washed. I can not located the thread on here telling me how to address that. I already had the LCM fixed, before I had an issue, so I do not believe it is that.

    3. And lastly, my heated seats do not work. The fuse is good, the buttons get power. Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the heated seats? I would love to start tracing those wires to see what I can find. Maybe I will get lucky and find a chaffed wire, or a disconnected wire somewhere.

    Thanks!
    Anthony

    It gets dark in the car wash. Is the headlight switch in the AUTO position?

    Those are just plastic push pins that were painted.

    Sounds like the heating elements in the seats just plain wore out of you have power.

    Not dark when you wash the car in the driveway ... and no, I do not use the Auto Switch. I wish it were that simple.

    I know they are plastic pins ... but I can not find them. The ones RubberCity might work, but expensive is right. $28 for two of them, though I guess they do come painted.

    And the seating elements are probably worn out, but was hoping to see a wiring diagram to see if I could find something simpler ... Kinda like my Ford Tractor that died recently Classic symptoms of the injector pump failing. Those are very expensive to repair. As we ran the wires, and took a look, we found where a mouse had chewed through a wire - fixed wire, injector pump now has power and works. Much cheaper!

    $28.00 for 2 painted plastic pins is absurd!!

    Bumper - get plastic push rivets, plastic adhesion promoter and paint.

    Headlights - check the harness at the left front under the headlight, known problem area.

    Heated seats - check the relay in the BJB (Battery Junction Box) under the hood and behind the battery. Try swapping it out wwit j a known good one. Check under the seats, make sure the connectors are tight..
