    Brake light switch fuse?

    Well, I'm still lost. No voltage to fuse #13 either. Haynes manual I have is no help.

    Brake light switch fuse?

    Well, I have no voltage going to the #1 fuse so whatever happened, it's happened before that fuse. Relay?

    Brake light switch fuse?

    Thanks so much for the reply. The PDF helped me locate fuse #1. #1 fuse is good which is strange to me as the turn signals do not work either. Hazards do work though. I'm stumped. Any other advice?

    Brake light switch fuse?

    My problem started a about a year ago. The problem was my brake lights would sometimes not work. So I replaced the brake light switch on the brake pedal. Fast forward to about a week ago. I started to notice that the brake lights would only come on with the slightest brake pedal pressure...

    Shallow powered subs questions

    It's a matter of perspective. I'm in my 50s and I have two 18" subwoofers in my Expedition.

    Could it be the voltage regulator?

    Yes, letting us know what you are getting for voltage would help a lot in determining what your problem is.

    Shallow powered subs questions

    If I was in your shoes, I'd get this one. It's a larger woofer and has more output for about the same price...

    Is this too much rust? Need advice before buying.

    Check the radiator support, usually rusts out where it mounts to the frame. I did on our 2005 live in nj. also!! love the salt in the winter I agree. My 2000's radiator support was totally rusted out. Heck, the whole thing was rusting out. I finally had to send her to the junkyard.

    Gas mileage

    Wow, I'm surprised at the low mileage that are being posted. I drive about 75% highway, 25% city. My 2000 5.4 got 13.5-14 mpg combined. My 1997 5.4 gets over 14 mpg combined. It never seems to go below 14 mpg and I check a lot. Why it gets better mpg than the 2000 is a mystery to me as...

    Broke down abroad - alternator?

    I think it's common on these Expeditions. I change an Expedition alternator quickly though it can be a tad hard if doing by yourself as the tensioner is pretty stout. I've gone through so many alternators that I keep a spare on hand. It's not pretty when the regulator goes out as when it...

    Odometer stopped working

    Well, I f***ed up. Getting the new worm gear onto the motor's shaft is near impossible. It's just too tight. In the process, one of the gauge cluster ribbon cables pulled out. Chit! I'm still going to try to get that damn worm gear onto the motor shaft and pray I can get that ribbon...

    Odometer stopped working

    Well, I got the gauge cluster out and apart. Sure enough, that plastic worm gear is in two pieces. So I ordered a new plastic worm gear, $30.32 shipped to me. Freakin' piece of plastic smaller than a penny cost over $30!!!

    Odometer stopped working

    I know this is an old thread but my odometer just stopped working and a search brought this thread up. $25 for the itty bitty plastic screw seems a bit pricy but I guess I have no choice. Anyone got a link on how to get the cluster out? Happened at 127K miles, 1997 5.4 4X4
