Hey there!!
Did you find the FPCM?
Are there pictures in the reply above that haven’t shown up on my phone?
And when you say left front control panel are you talking about under the drivers side or passenger side?
Update!! Thank you soooo much!! We just saved a couple hundred and fixed it ourselves. Took about 15 minutes! The FPDM is in the same spot on the 2021 Explorer XLT in case anyone’s looking!
