1997 Expedition XLT 4x4: Is it worth the effort/ money?
Depends on what you're going for. If it's just an off-road beater vehicle then repair / rebuild what you have. If you're going for a performance off-roader I would look for a post-2000 5.4 2V motor and rebuild that. Check the motor mounts while you have the heads off. Much easier to change...- Hamfisted

P0435
Do you know what weight oil you're using in the motor ? Some people have had good luck switching to a heavier oil, like a 10w-40 to regain phaser operation or at least minimize the missing or rough running. It's a relatively cheap option to try. So if you try the new cam sensor and have no...- Hamfisted

09 lighting module location
Ok, but really there's just the circuit board in the fusebox and the steering column stalk switch assembly that control it. Do you have a multmeter that you can check for voltage at the bulb socket ? 2009 Expedition Exterior Lighting Circuit Diagram .- Hamfisted

Tailgate ajar alarm
$100 isn't an "investment". Here in the States we call that a tank of gas. Ok here's a Chinese knock off for $50 on eBay. Knock Off Tailgate Latch Assembly on eBay .- Hamfisted

Weird random burning smell, small leak?
That doesn't look too bad really. Do you notice a oil stain in your driveway where you park it? If you want to freshen up the seals you can get a bottle of that ATP-205 and pour it in the crankcase. It works very well to rejuvenate oil seals and gaskets, without harming the rest of the motor...- Hamfisted

Tailgate ajar alarm
The door ajar switch is integral to the door latch itself. You can replace it and fix it right for $100 . That's what I would do. Ford 7L1Z-7843150-D Liftgate Latch Assembly .- Hamfisted

Oil leak?
Yeah looks like it's just coming from the oil filter and running back. Clean the area off with some degreaser or carb cleaner spray and make sure your oil filter is snug and recheck it in a week or so to see if you can isolate the cause of the leak. Are you using a Motorcraft 820 filter ? .- Hamfisted

2003 5.4 no start, PCM issue?
Is the security LED flashing high speed when you try to start it ? That would indicate a PATs problem. Like it doesn't recognize the key. Pop the hood and move the PCM harness around and look for a loose wire in the harness, especially the red one that powers the PCM. Why did you hotwire the...- Hamfisted

Short Circuit?
The only thing directly behind the glovebox that might smoke is the AC blower and it's speed resistor or that harness plug to the resistor. But I don't know how your "aftermarket equipment" is wired in. Does your AC blower still function normally ? All speeds available ? .- Hamfisted
