You bought pee, off Amazon? You are pouring pee into your HVAC?

How do you like the way your Transit Connect rides in the rain?

That dealer is probably correct. You will find very little in the way of aftermarket upgrades and accessories for Transit Connect. Transit Connect specific aftermarket parts are almost limited to floor mats, vent visors, and maybe seat covers. There is a dash & install kit if you are interested in an aftermarket radio. There is a K&N filter which works for late model Transit Connect, some other Ford with the same engine and airbox. No exhaust kit or intake. I've found 1 aftermarket wheel with the same exact specs as the OEM wheel. I'm still looking for the curtains, which are popular in other countries, but never seen in The USA.

I've never seen that on Transit Connect.

High 5. I'm in The City. Just look for the white Transit Connect, with OEM hubcaps. I'll try to waive back if I don't have a drink in my hand.

Easily? No. I don't think you'll get all 3 seats from the 2nd generation into the 1st generation. But you should be able to install 2 out of 3. Nothing will be easy. But you can drill holes, and probably weld them in. They won't be perfect, or pretty. But someone will be able to sit in them. Now your problem will be the seat belts. Middle seat in a 2nd generation has a seatbelt & buckle. Driver side seat will have a buckle, but the belt is attached to the "c pillar" of the van. You will not have airbags to protect those passengers. It may be easier for you to buy generic seats.

Serramonte Ford was not able to do it for me. I will look for another dealership. Maybe a different tech at a different shop.

GBL, you are absolutely correct. Actually, a lot more should be made available to the owner of the vehicle. Wouldn't a lot of us like to be able to see real time temperatures, and diagnostic values? Maybe even see the Diagnostic Trouble Code instead of just a "check engine light". Since OBD II protocol became a standard in 96 or 97, people have been buying code readers, software, OBD II to USB cables, ScanGauge, SCT LiveWire, HonData, and everything else to allow them to view information which is already on the vehicle. I'm sure that there are very good reasons why they don't want the owner to have access to this information. Every manufacturer has the technology to allow us to read the information.

Your write-up was awesome. Speaking only for myself, I appreciate your contribution. Thank you very much.

Some people would rather suffer the worst case scenario. A blowout is preferred, in lieu of safety features. When the safety pin was invented, those same people would have argued that it wasn't needed. They have eyes. They could see the pin stabbing their infant through the diaper. They could have seen the blood and heard the infant crying. Your phone has more technology, than what went to the moon. But do you really believe that man actually went to the moon? ??

Of you are ready to remove the center console, you can make it fit. Still new holes for bolting it in. Weld it if you have to. I have thought about removing the console and installing jump seats from an old Jeep. Wildly impractical, uncomfortable, and illegal.

That was an awesome tutorial.

Factory HID are great! Drop in HID kits, not so great. Same with LED. Some cars now have factory LED, which are awesome. Drop in LED kits, not so awesome.

Any chick who rode in a Subaru Brat, will also respond to, "I've got a bottle Quaaludes in the pocket of my Members Only jacket."

When I used halogen headlights, I tended to favor the Hella brand. Just a little more wattage. Just a little brighter.

I've always thought that the Mustang was the perfect platform for building an electric Tesla Fighter.

Good idea. Don't wait on it. Especially the transmission. Although you never really hear of it, the coolant is important. You don't want electrolysis in the cooling system.

Try jumping pin 7 to 2, first. With any luck, that should release your door. If that works, you will know that everything from there, to the door, is good. Take a good look at the below diagrams, and make sure that what you are looking at on your car matches what you are seeing on the diagrams.

You shouldn't cut the entire door off. That's a waste of a perfectly good door. ?

Check everything electronic, check

That is suppose to be a safety feature.

You're probably right. I don't own one. I just recall seeing those in truck stops as I traveled. But there are probably similar devices. I also recall that some of those lithium battery jump start packs have attachments which are suppose to feed power into the car via the cigarette lighter port. I wonder how well those work.

The 12 volt cigarette lighter style power outlet between the front seats is always hot on my Gen2. Over the years, I've seen a lot of odd things in truck stops. Not just Lot Lizards, but things you might actually want to buy. I recall seeing devices which allowed you to plug into a cigarette lighter, which allowed for boosting the battery and/or jump starting the car. I also recall seeing car-to-car cigarette lighter booster cables.
