My battery keeps dieing and I noticed that the light on the screen has a very dim backlight coming from it but does not turn off how do I fix it?

Agree, if those were holes, you'd have an issue going through a car wash - drain holes are typically at a low point and protected against water jets.

I believe those marks are from the manufacturing process. They are not holes, does not go all the way thru, at least not on my vehicle.

Made the mistake of not freeing the front wiper before the drive to the office this morning in -3 (celsius) temperatures. The wiper struggled, then proceeded to move across the windshield, before sticking in the up position. Turning the car off, then on again, the wiper resets as normal when starting and rests in the proper down position, but as soon as I turn the wiper on, it moves across the windshield and sticks in the up position again.   The fact that it can move, and across the full range, tells me it's not a fuse burned out or a damaged linkage, right?   Thanks in advance!

I have no buttons on or around the instrument cluster. And in the system check report, there are no other options to select after it reports the distance to empty. So neither instructions will work. Although I appreciate the copy of the owners manual, I will review it to see if there are alternate instructions that will help. In the meantime, if anyone has any other ideas, I would appreciate it.

I will have to check and see if I have those.

Doesn’t sound exactly like mine but I had an acceleration issue about 2 years ago. Mine would be fine until it warmed up and then wouldn’t accelerate at all. Turns out one of the plastic vacuum hoses had cracked. Ford wanted over $400 for the vacuum hose assembly but I replaced the rigid hose with some rubber vacuum hose and have had no problems since. Not sure if this is the same but thought I’d give it a try.    

I hope these help.  The holes are smack dab in the middle of each lens.  There is one hole in each lamp unit.  I've included a contour shot since I don't know if Ford modified it when they added the holes.  They aren't noticeable unless you look for them.  Just large enough for air flow.
