I’m having the same problem. I picked up my new classic today and was told by my dealer that the Ford F150 2002 model would have issues backing up step hills due to the brake on the trailor locking. I went by the Ford dealership and they looked at me like i was an alien. Can someone help scot and i.
To be honest, i think i did a horrible job explaining what was going wrong to the Ford dealer, it could of been partly my fault. Thanks BassCatboats and Chris for the great informative replies. I will go back to the Ford dealership tomorrow with some HARDFACT information. About the boat, WOW is all i can say! the best purchase ever made!! BTW BassCatBoats, i was given the coupler lock out tool, i just wanted to confirm there was a permanent fix.
Thanks again
Hey chris, just to let you know i contacted FORD and asked if they had any of the relays in stock and they informed me that the relay was no longer stocked and discountinued. I thought i was screwed until i checked the users manual and just borrowed the relay from the horn
Who needs a horn anyway! lol
Thanks again
BCB, yeah i’m assuming there is a retro relay. I’m going to talk to them in person on monday morning. The “over the phone” service can sometimes be lacking w/ dealerships.
If ive ran them dry will caping off w/ water help? or am i scewed?
Thanks BCB
Jignpig- Its a 07 Optimax, at WOT ive had the alarm go off a couple times… which i think is close to 5900 or so.
Thanks JW!
I could use the blue XL vest, how about $70 shipped? email [url=mailto:[email protected]][email protected][/url]
Hey Showdawg, i never got your email? Did you send it to [email protected]?
Thanks everyone for the GREAT advice! I will be sure to try out all my new tips. To answer the question of how far im putting the trailer in the water, i usually make sure the smaller boat bunks are sticking out of the water a few inches. I will use my rear tire as a guage next time… Thanks again
Thanks Ward, that fixed her right up!
Also, both gps signals are shot as well. Not sure how both pucks can go bad
can you send pictures to tipmontana@hotmail.com
are you saying that the reason its not filling up is because the water is draining because the lever isnt all the way in the “Auto” position?wouldnt it still drain if i used the auto fill then? because the water in the well stays at a constant level after i auto fill it. I just cant flip the aerator on after my first fish and forget it because the water level is super low.
