Check under the hood in the main fuse control panel

Normally your need to click the resume button on the steering wheel after brake use.

The switch on the steering wheel cause trouble,check.

Have a good Auto transmission repairer give the box a service and this should fix your problem. Do not put additives into oil as if they were required Shell Mobil Caltex BP Castrol and all other manufacturere would have put the additive in when ther were refining the oil

1/2 the fuse box is controlled by that. Ignition system mostly.

run the fault codes and look for accelerator position sensor and/or throttle position motor or position sensor

Depends on the set up. It will supply 12v power to any accessory connected to it when the radio is turned on. By accessory, I mean : powered amplifiers with relays, motorized antennas, additional audio components. Most likely it is to power an external amplifier or sub woofer.

Possible wheel bearing/hub assembly. Have it checked by a pro

If all of the windows do not work and the fuse is fine, the problem is either the window switch on the drivers door or the wire is bad that provides power. Remove the door panel and meter the switch, if you get power to the switch but not through the switch the problem is the switch. If you are not getting power to the switch you know you have a wiring problem.

Hi Paul, Im AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair Paul, please take this word of caution, if you swap a theft module from another vehicle to yours it could render all the other module useless and you my have to replace all the modules it affected. For your question about you doing it yourself, unless you have a very expensive scan tool that allows you to program the PIN # into the module its best you take it to the dealer. Hope this helps and please visit my auto-repair website and check out my satisfied customers testimonials and give me a shout while your there. http://www.bigasautorepair.com/

P2106 - Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited Power. The throttle actuator control system is in the FMEM mode of forced limited power. This DTC indicates the FMEM action is in effect due to a failure in an ETC related component or module. This DTC is an informational DTC and may be set in combination with a number of other DTCs which are causing the FMEM. Diagnose other DTCs first.

Some of the sensors are going bad or are too sensitive. A motion sensor or lock sensor can be intermittently setting it off. Do you have access to a scan tool ?

The original code assigned from the factory can not be changed. If you added another in addition to that one you can look in the manual for the instructions.

This is called the MAP I think. Any parts store should be able to show you on their parts locator chart.

? ? ? ? what do you want to know , how to change it , where is it ? what ?

Yes either under the hood or under the dash

Sorry but , Ford is noted for not recalling the Pinto exploding gas tanks. Internal memo said, "Cheaper to let people burn in 15 MPH crash than accept responsibility" Also look at Explorer exploding tires. On my Ford, the steering arm snapped off. Zero steering control!! Lucky I was 100 feet from home not on freeway

High fuel rail pressure.

The theft system can usually be reset with the key fob by locking and unlocking the doors. You can try disconnecting the battery for 30 seconds if the key fob does not reset the system
