Have had my 2013 TC for a few months now (purchased at 45 k miles) and am outfitting it as a camper. I'm mostly satisfied, but there seems to be an awful lot of broken things on it for it's age. Haven't owned a Ford before. I've had it checked out by the dealer and what they want to repair things seems kind of crazy. If any one has suggestions, please let me know. Thinking of trying to see if parts can be purchased at a pick-n-pull. 1) The drivers side sliding door lock doesn't work with the key fob- have to crawl in to unlock it manually. Any one know what part number or description to use to have non-local pick n pull look for the replacement lock mechanism? The dealer says it cannot be repaired 2) Also, the left front blinker doesn't work. I replaced the bulb, but still a no-go. Ford dealer is telling me that the bulb housing unit needs to be replaced at a cost of $700 (something about contacts being bent; they unbent them, but said if you hit a bump it will stop working, which it promptly did 5 minutes later). Suggestions? Again, any one know what part number or description to use? 3) I want to temporarily remove the middle and rear headliners. Is there a tool for pulling the plastic panel plugs (I know they will break and I have to replace them). Can't figure out how to get them out. Thanks much for any suggestions-
