Sold my 2004 4.8iS last week, it was on just over 112k miles.

Seeing as the dash lights stop working when the problem occurs, and unplugging the LCM fixes it, could my IKE (instrument...

iBus problem driving me nuts! 8 months, still not fixed

Sorry for not understanding, but does that provide power even with no key in? If so, is there a chance that would drain the battery?

What is the unused plug on my stereo cables?

Whilst swapping my headunit for an Android, I found this black connector with 3 wires (black, yellow and brown) which wasn't connected to anything.


Any ideas what this is for?
