Ford ThunderBird Ford thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

Default 93 Lx auto lamp?

This migth sound stupid for some of you but. How can I tell if my T bird have or not have Auto lamp???
It has some sort of sensor on the dashboard near the windshield, but I never seen my lamps work automaticly. I had a 91 Lx Taurus and it has it too and worked well but it also had some little lever near the emergency break. My Tbird doesnīt have that lever. By the way Once I change my odometer and took a look ath that "sensor under the dash and it has some wires but I canīt follow them. Are those wires functually or not?

Those wires have to "function" for something, maybe someone else will chime in and tell us what the front dash sensor is for.... =o/

if its like my 94 lx, you should have 2 dimmer switches to the left of the headlight switch. the one closest to the steering wheel turns the autolamps on/off and controls how long they stay on after you shut down the car.

Your REALLY shouldn't post your email address. It's a sure way for spammers to spoof it. Once that happens spam looks like it's coming from you. After a while, ISP's start blocking your email address, preventing you from using it at all.
