    Swapping steering column

    This question actually applies to a 2010 F150, but it is probably the same for an expedition. My original steering wheel is not set up for radio controls. I need to replace the steering column. Will one from a vehicle with radio controls fit? Are the clock springs the same? I'm not asking about...

    back up light switch

    My Expedition is a former police car, with the column shift. Don't know if that makes a difference.

    back up light switch

    Thanks, but according to the website, that doesn't fit my car.

    back up light switch

    I've not found anything on the forum. Nor have I found one listed on the Internet. Even went to foreparts.com and they don't list one.

    steering problem

    My 2008 Expy is getting hard to steer. This started a few days ago, and had gradually worsened. The pump is full. I flushed it 18 months ago. I've never experienced this sort of problem without the fluid level being low in the power steering pump. Any suggestions?

    Passenger door lock

    Thanks. There is no noise at all when I push the "lock" button, so I think the problem is electrical, if there is a problem. Joe

    Passenger door lock

    The passenger door lock feature doesn't work on my 2008 SSV (police model). I replaced the switch with a new one to no avail. The passenger cannot lock the door from the inside. With the door open, the door can't be locked. I'm wondering if this is a feature of the police model only. Any help...

    Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow.

    Voltage drain through cluster

    From last night to this morning, with the instrument cluster installed, the voltage dropped by .21 volt. Over 13 hours, that is .016 volt per hour, or a drop of one volt in about 60 hours (assuming linearity). I removed the cluster after taking the second reading this morning, and 10 hours...

    Voltage drain through cluster

    Without the cluster, it is drawing less than .01 volt per hour, and with it installed, it is drawing between .04 to .05 volt per hour. I don't have the amperage figures.

    Voltage drain through cluster

    My battery has been going dead in two to three days of sitting. The battery has been checked out and is good. I've narrowed the problem down to the instrument cluster. When I remove the cluster, there is no parasitic draw. Any idea of what I can do to fix this problem? Thanks, Joe 2008...

    Still trying to sort out brake and reverse light problems (2008 Expy SSV)

    Thanks. According to my reading of the wiring diagrams Richard sent, the brake lights are on a separate circuit from the turn signals and the hazard lights (on the 2008 model). The trailer lights are on the same circuit as the brake lights. I took the car to a shop yesterday where they ran a...
