    Driver window

    New parts are “new”, not necessarily “good”, so I suspect a bad part. Can be verified by connecting directly to a known good 12v power source (preferably not the car’s own battery, unless it is disconnected).

    Catalytic Converter code and white smoke

    My 2016 had similar white smoke symptoms as you describe. No codes, though. Coolant was being consumed at such a low rate that I had no idea it was happening. Chalked it up to cold-starts on muggy mornings. (I should have been more diligent about tracking the coolant level than casually...

    Which Scan tool?

    I have 3 OBD scanners that are sub $100. Most used is my dirt cheap Veepeak WiFi scanner with OBD Fusion (iOS) using the enhanced scan. Next up is Forscan, and it gets used less due to my scanner needing a laptop for the USB connection. Last is Blue Driver because I can’t even get it to tell me...

    Wiper blade replacement for 2015-17

    Yes, the Dorman 42651 is what I used on my 2016. Fits perfectly.

    Wiper blade replacement for 2015-17

    The struggle is real. I gave up and replaced the arm on my 2016 to accommodate a slightly longer blade so I could buy silicone.

    Body roll when turning

    I have a 2016 Limited and felt the same when I first got it years ago. It does not have air suspension. Vastly different ride than the import brands I was used to, and turns out it’s a normal characteristic. Test drive a similar model year and suspension type if you can, and you’ll know right...

    Ford Expedition has water leaking in second row after a rainy day help

    I only knew about 2 drains - the obvious ones at the front corners. Where are the other 2? Can they also be snaked with trimmer line?

    Mystery sound from rear panel

    Been there, done that with my 2016. It’s the rear blend door actuator. I went with DIY (YT videos) and got lots of cuts and scratches in the process. My arm looked like I was fighting a cat!

    2017 expedition roaring

    I hear what you’re saying. My thought process is that worn suspension components can cause create issues downstream. I experienced a roaring rear bearing on a newish sedan that had wide low profile tires. Digging deeper found the inner rim of the wheel was bent, so that got fixed at the same...

    2017 expedition roaring

    Sounds like the front suspension has an issue. From the parts list you’ve mentioned, I would try a different mechanic for a diagnosis. Some mechanics will use a very persuasive looking pry bar to make the suspension give up its secrets. Could be a worn ball joint, loose strut, tie rod, bent...

    2015 wrench icon/catalytic

    My 2016 Limited uses iridium plugs. When replacing them at 100k, 2 of 6 plugs needed very slight gap adjustments. Did not use the old $.99 keychain gapper tool, and instead used the newer tool design that only touches the ground electrode (which is not iridium plated). The tool sort of resemble...

    Replace ‘17 door keypad

    Yes, it’s a bit of work. Need to remove the door panel, then remove the trim piece to which the module is attached. Hopefully the plastic clips survive, or MacGyver a way to re-mount the trim securely. The closest YT video I can find is a 3 parter. Here’s part 1...

    Replaced battery and now camera not working

    Just went through this myself for my 2016 Limited. Forscan can bring them back with about 5 minutes of effort. Pretty straightforward, and does not require the paid license to do it.

    Battery charge and recommendation

    Does the 2012 come with an AGM battery? I ask because my 2016 Expy has FLA, non-AGM. I assumed the charging profiles are different, so have replaced with FLA when mine have a subpar SOC.

    2011 Lack of power and acceleration

    If the 277k miles are on the original engine, my guess is the engine could simply be worn out. Between 3 shops and the dealer, someone would have located an issue if it was repairable.
