    AC Actuator Door Replacement

    Thanks sir! Ordering now. I actually still have a Windows 7 PC at home with a DVD drive that should run this. My work laptop no longer has a DVD drive, and my other computers are all Macs :). But I've even BUY an external drive to access this.

    AC Actuator Door Replacement

    Thanks! I am on the lookout for a repair DVD. I had one for my Taurus ages ago, and it proved helpful more than once. I loved your comment about y'll teaching me more than $800 worth of knowledge. That's already been the case as I've used info from this site to remove the steering wheel...

    AC Actuator Door Replacement

    Thanks R W. Good to know that it MIGHT be the actuator motor itself and NOT the door. The tech who looked at it admits that it's difficult to determine EXACTLY what it is without removing the dash. The video I watched noted that you could replace the actuator motor in just a couple of hours...

    AC Actuator Door Replacement

    Hi Fellow Expedition Owners- My 2004 Eddie Bauer has what appears to be a failed actuator door, so my AC is not working for the front. Rear AC still works fine. I tool it to a repair shop, and they were the ones who diagnosed the actuator door being broken. I found one detailed video online...

    Courtesy wipe. Seriously?

    On my Ford Fusion, "Courtesy Wipe" can be turned on or off using the settings menu that shows up to the left of the speedometer (controlled by the left set of buttons on the steering wheel). The owner's manual was thin on what the heck a "courtesy wipe" was, but the best I can tell is that after...

    Leak when raining...beneath dash by brake release

    Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a check. I've removed the weather stripping in a few spots and have been amazed at the amount of gunk behind them...it's just dirt working it's way in over the past 13 years!

    Leak when raining...beneath dash by brake release

    Hi Wolf! Yes, the clogged sunroof drain :-). I am quite familiar with THAT. Have to clean that out about once a year. She used to be garaged but is now parked outside, so that makes it worse, even with a car cover. Maybe I should just cover her with a HUGE plastic tarp??? This time, I know the...

    Leak when raining...beneath dash by brake release

    I used to have that problem at our last house. I parked the Expy on a slope nose pointing down, and that was when the first leaks ever occurred. Those turned out to be due to a clogged sunroof drain, and I ended up blowing that drain out with compressed air about once every 18 months or so. Now...

    Leak when raining...beneath dash by brake release

    Thanks Mike! I wonder if that is the cause. I had the windshield replaced last year. No cracks, but it was pitted after 12 years of driving. I removed the cowling a couple of years ago to fix a break in the washer fluid line that led to the windshield sprayers. I had purchased some of the...

    Leak when raining...beneath dash by brake release

    You know, that's a good idea if I can't find the leak. I like how you think! The water is already gathering under the plastic panel that covers the door sill. I could potentially drill a small hole there to get the water out. If I could park the car in my garage all the time, it wouldn't be an...

    Leak when raining...beneath dash by brake release

    I've dealt with rainwater getting into my Expedition before. It almost ALWAYS was due to the sunroof drain lines being clogged. I'd blow them out, and all would be well. It's happening again, but this time the water is not coming in at the roof but from right below the parking brake release. I...

    Steering wheel audio/cruise button fix

    I had the same problem with my buttons, and I also ordered a replacement set off of eBay. Same thing with the replacements...only one or two items worked. Seller sent me several replacement sets, none of which worked. By that time, I had cleaned my original ones with electronic parts cleaner...

    Part number for Oil Filler Cap

    Hi Folks- I'm having a hard time tying to find a replacement oil filler cap for my 2004 Expedition. It's the Eddie Bauer with the 5.4L V8. I ordered part EC787, but although the dealer said it SHOULD fit, it does not. It looks like it should, but it's too wide. I went to the local auto parts...

    PRNDL Indicator Replacement

    You're just up the road! We go by Cartersville whenever we head to my in-laws. They live in Guntersville, AL, and we go right by Cartesville on the state highways headed that way. Love the Ross Diner in downtown! I had the PRNDL adjustment "thingy" detached today (the white block secured...
