Glad to hear you like it. Due to the high gas prices I've been driving good and babying my Taurus and I kid you not tomorrow will make 2 weeks since my last fill up and I'm now between half and a quarter. $62.00 to fill up vs $35 a few years ago is a huge difference March 11th 2022 I filled up during my lunch break and March 25 2022 I still have little over a quarter tank. Currently I take off slow from red light and I only sped like twice 😅 maybe 3 times l. This car is a beast when it come to fuel economy
Awesome to know! Your very welcome. Yeah i was overly excited when i found this... the dealer never told me this... things like this makes a person feel their car is complex and it saves space (one less switch)
Go to the Ford owners site, there are numerous videos about how to use all the special features such as this. Did you know if you have the digital entry code on the B pillar, you can go to the beach and leave your keyfaub in a special compartment in the center arm rest and lock the car. Then use your digital code to get back in.
I have a 2013 lincoln mks since 2017 and i did not know this . Anytime i needed the interior light to turn on i opened one of the doors. This video has been very helpful. Thanks.
You just got rid of my headache sir! I've been looking all over in my car trying to find some sort of interior light switch and it has been driving me nuts because the dome lights have been staying on and I couldn't figure out how to turn them off. And this fixed it. Thank you very much
Yooo thank you I’ve been trying to figure that out too. I was so upset I couldn’t turn the lights on when someone needed it but now I know. Good looking out bro
Im going to go pick up my new to me 2011 limited. Just remember about ford they’ve been making cars for a very long time and they have mastered adding little amenities. Look into the old fords from the 50s and 60s. They were loaded. The downside is that they cost a lot to maintain and that has hurt their reputation. Chevy was cheaper and could be repaired by the common working man.
Seem like the best option is just yank out all the lights. Seems like every car has some dumb @$$ flaw and this is one RIDICULOUS flaw that should be standard to have option for dark mode. Maybe it’s an American car think. All my foreign cars do it 🤷🏽♂️
@@ohjuniorboi02 actually I found out you can take it to a Ford dealership and have them put it in Police Mode. The downside however is that this will also kill the exterior entry lights that come on so you can see around the car when you walk up to it.
It's different from the usual roller style. Quick press for adjusting the odometer and infotainment system. Press harder and long the interior lights will turn on (up) or off is (down)
Has anyone here had the bad fortune of replacing the water pump on a 2013 Ford Taurus, Flex or Edge...if so look into the class action that has been denied by a judge in " Detroit Michigan" its a $500 job at most that turns into a couple of thousand!
Did you know you have 7 LED interior lights??? I have a 2010 Taurus Limited. Almost every Ford Taurus owner I met they don’t know about the LED interior Lights.
I didnt know we had 7 to be exact but yeah I knew there are LED available for replacement but I havent change them out because I dont like my interior bright at night... feel like people be watching lol 😅 I am considering going LED from halogen with the trunk light (I currently have 2 LED stripes in there) and LED with the side mirrors. I just ordered a part today for my car will do a video on it in a week though... lol that if it works out to be nice
If you dim your dash down to just 2 bars, then go into vehicle settings on your center screen and dim it as low as you can. Then turn the interior under dash coulourd light to DARK BLUE or RED, you'll find night driving in low light areas 100% easier to see ahead.
I hope these are the right specs but you can Google it to be more sure, you should be able to use any photo as long as its 800x384 pixels and under 1.5 MB I think and JPEG is what I used. so if you have the USB slot in armrest area upload photos to your flash drive and plug it into the USB slot, then turn the car ignition to accessory or to on (just be mindful to start car if the process takes longer than say 5 minutes, so you don't get the "Battery Saving Mode Screen") once the Flash drive is plug in go to Settings-Display-Background and load the images from there. This might help ya also. I have SYNC 2 you might have SYNC 3 so It might be different. owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-technology/myford-touch/settings/setting-a-wallpaper-display.html
I like buying things that no1q has from hates to shoes to cars. I Shhhh you NOT. LIKE ON EVERYTHING, I LIVE LIKE 35MIN FROM SEATTLE (south of Seattle) and after I got my 2011 FORD TAURUS I shhh you not, like 7months later I started seeing everyone and I me everyone has em. But I was the 1st to have one. Anyone around the are feel free to reply and maybe you will even know lol
i get bad mpg on the 2016 taurus17mpg I just got, what do you get on yours? it's funny i had a 2006 ford five hundred for 10 years, I just traded it for the 2016, I miss my five hundred. I hope he's doing well...
Neomis 01 Wow! I miss my 2006 Five Hundred Ltd too, it was roomy comfortable, just had way too many problems for me to pay up. On my 13 Taurus it really depends on my driving style. On a speedy week I can get 18.4cty and 22hwy but taking my time I get 19.4cty and 27hwy. It takes extremeness to make 21cty/29.7hwy. Here's what I do, reset one of my trip measures on the left menu and drive easy (take off slow and on both highway and city utilize cruise control) One time I went 9 days on one tank of fuel... but with a car this bad (cool style) I'm overtaking everyone! Lastly I have a feeling it's the difference of engines, my Five Hundred had 3.0 direct inject with 203hp and weighed some 3400lbs this Taurus is VVT with 288hp weighing in at around 4000lbs+ or so (FWD, AWD)
I just a taurus sho, does anyone know how you turn on the fog lights? I've never owned a ford before so this whole car is the most confusing thing I've ever owned
Yup I hear ya! I added two 12" subs and still havent got around to removing the limiter but i was thinking i might leave it because I'm almost always up there so if i adjust it to 130 then il be doing that. Plus 110 is safer for us and easier on the engine
The word "learnt" is usually used in the United Kingdom. Are you British? If you're an American then "learned" is more proper. You can continue saying learnt, but most people will look at you like WTF.
lol yep im from the Bahamas (a ton of things are still done under British) so that's how we are taught. that's why I had such a hard time in school here

oh wow sorry you had to go through that all this time, your very welcome!
Haha I was so excited when I found this on my 2012 limited Taurus
I came from 06 Five Hundred as well. Thanks so much, I had no idea you could do that haha!!
Sure thing your welcome

Taurus is really a neat car
I agree! The world needs more positive people like you, thanks
Im so glad you showed me this. I was trying to figure out how to turn mines off and on.
Cool cool your welcome
I absolutely didn't understand what you were trying to say
Man technology has came a long ways! Good stuff
indeed, yes indeed
Omg... I have had my 2014 for 2 YEARS. And always wonder how I get them to turn on. Lol. Thanks
Samething I learn when I brought my car as well. I was wondering about the samething. I found it out now.
I have a 2011 SEL and I just now figured out that 😮 thanks
same here, loving this car day by day.
Yooo thank you I’ve been trying to figure that out too. I was so upset I couldn’t turn the lights on when someone needed it but now I know. Good looking out bro
Yeah man you got it
Pretty sure all my interior lights are burnt out because previous owners didn't know how to turn them off.. glad I found this
And I'm glad you found this video tooooo
@@Jerone5740 update.. previous owner took out every single interior bulb including trunk light 😂. Makes no sense at all.
Found this on my own the other day and was amazed
Awesomeness

Read it......LOL
Great video! Very cool! THANK YOU!

I found that out too awesome
What about the 2011 and 2012 models. Do they also have this feature?
They should but I havent been in a 2010 through 12 in years, if I do come across one I will try to do a video
Man no shit im just watching this. An this video was posted 6 years ago. I went out to my new to me 2016 tarus an it works .🤣
Make more videos your a life saver.
they're coming
Soooooo, now how do you keep the lights off when the door is open? I don't want the dome lights to come on when I open my door
ah ha! yesss (sad face) i actually dont know) i have wondered the same thing

wow yeah that must have been annoying
3.5 minutes I will NEVER GET BACK!!!😢😢😢😢😢
What’s new about interior light dimmer switches? They just moved it from the headlight switch.
It's different from the usual roller style. Quick press for adjusting the odometer and infotainment system. Press harder and long the interior lights will turn on (up) or off is (down)
Love that feature on my fusion!
I tried this but my interior lights won't come on
I just try it and it works

Has anyone here had the bad fortune of replacing the water pump on a 2013 Ford Taurus, Flex or Edge...if so look into the class action that has been denied by a judge in " Detroit Michigan" its a $500 job at most that turns into a couple of thousand!
Dang that stinks
Yep! Cost me $1,800. Engine had to be removed. Hopefully trading it in soon for a Tahoe.
U r scaring me
It was cheaper to put an entire new engine in for me. $2606 in labor and $1100 of engine. It’s bullshit man
Class action was thrown out by a Judge in Detroit about 6 months ago...🤔wait a minute. Isn't "Ford"the state capital of Michigan!?
I love this products work on contact with my hair
Oh okay cool
Nice thanks

Well 3 hours later to get the lights working turns out it doesn't work for a 2013 police ford taurus😔
Lol. Most cars have that on the dimmer. The cars with the roller dimmer have an extra click up after the roller stops.
I just a taurus sho, does anyone know how you turn on the fog lights? I've never owned a ford before so this whole car is the most confusing thing I've ever owned

@@dennisu7645 you probably could go with regular but I’ve always used premium
Read the owners manual!!!!
I’ve been struggling to find that!
Gettin all emotional over a button that turns on a light. What in hellfire?
lolol I had a long day at work that night and this was my highlight lololol
Been on cars since 1950. Read the owners manual you learn how your car operates.
i have a 2017 I really wish i can add an extra subwoofer or maybe a mod where i can remove the 110 mph limiter
Yup I hear ya! I added two 12" subs and still havent got around to removing the limiter but i was thinking i might leave it because I'm almost always up there so if i adjust it to 130 then il be doing that. Plus 110 is safer for us and easier on the engine

i’m trying to figure out how to turn it off when the doors are open
Me too, to this day I havent found a switch I like to ride up on people headlights off, doors open and they dont even see me!
