Small Button Under Dashboard 1989 F:250?
So i own a 1989 Ford F:250 gas 7.5L 460 engine. So i found this have little black push button under my dash that tries to turn engine over(like when turning the key to start) but it doesn't start the engine it just keeps trying (I think)? It would be fantastic if someone could inform me on this.
It is likely a "hot wire" switch to the starter. Put the key to On, shifter in Park and press the button and see if the truck will start.
It's to activate the starter and pump the oil BEFORE firing up the engine using the regular key, so the engine is lubricated after being parked for a long time. Otherwise all the oil will have drained into the sump and the engine will suffer horrific wear if fired up to fast idle speed right away. Perhaps the truck was used only rarely because it's a fuel hog, so spent weeks parked between being driven only rarely. Or perhaps the ignition switch or park/neutral safety switch is defective, so this was a way for the previous owner to bypass those switches and activate the starter with the black button.
You'll have to ask the person who put it there. It's NOT a factory installation.

- 1986 ford ranger dashboard warning lights? I have a 1986 ford ranger 4 cylinder and on the instrument cluster i can see all the light bulbs for the warning lights. The cover that actually tells you what each light is has been missing since i bought the truck used. If anyone can tell me the order of the warning lights so i can wright it down and make a chart so i know what it is when it lights up.
- 2008 Ford Mustang - The passenger side under the dashboard recently leaked I took it to a Firestone recently and they said I had to take it to the dealer or to Ford directly. Called Ford and they said it would be $130 just to even look at it. The dealership I bought the car from is closed for good now. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to fix this yourself rather than having it fixed? The passenger side leaks everytime it rains but it rained heavy the other day and now the carpet is flooded.
