    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    It's a shameful state of affairs with these dealers. I did the repair over the weekend using a repair kit I purchased off of Amazon... only needed one of the hose couplings, and used a hair dyer to heat the hose like in the YouTube video I shared. It still leaked a little after this, and so...

    Embarrassment?

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    Thanks for the reply. Unless I'm looking at the wrong part, it looks like the part I need is backordered. :/. Big surprise... it's probably a known issue, thus the run on the part. I've just ordered a generic repair kit from Amazon and will try to repair it in the manner shown in the YT...

    Actually, rather than buying the OEM tube from Ford and messing with their connectors, etc., I may just get one of these kits and do what this guy is doing. Looks like he's making the repair on a VW, but the tubing is similar: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X_f7mb-OXlQ

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    So here's another photo, taken after I removed the trim pieces from both the liftgate and above/below the jamb. This specific washer fluid hose that's split is the one that runs to the backup camera washer. In the photo you can see the hose run upward and out the large hole that eventually...

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    I'm posting updated photos below in a moment.... it's not a split loom, but rather it's the fluid hose itself. Some sections of the hose are corrugated like this. It's for back up camera cleaner, which has never worked... now I know why.

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    You said "that is surrounding the washer fluid hose", but that's not true. There is nothing inside the "wire cover", because it's not a wire cover, it's the fluid hose itself. There is no split that runs lengthwise on it, because it's not a wire cover. Strange, I know... it does indeed look...

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    So evidently this is actually a section of the rear wiper fluid hose. I've looked at the diagram(s) on Ford's part website. What threw me off was that: 1) the rear wiper fluid sprayer still works (maybe because when the liftgate is closed there is enough of a seal to still permit fluid flow)...

    Nope. At least, not presently.

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    I noticed this thing that appears to be a wire protector earlier today on our '22 Timberline. I've seen it dozens of times before, but upon closer inspection, I see that 1) it's broken/ripped (hanging on by a thread) and 2) has nothing in it. If it were a wire protector I would presumably...

    2022 Expedition - Cracked Roof Panel; Cracked Lift gate Spoiler

    So despite this (now disappeared) Special Service Message 51346, there hasn't been any sort of recall? I for one experienced a loud POP this last winter while in Richmond, Va and opened the liftgate in the early hours of the AM, with layers of ice on the roof. Having remembered this thread, I...

    New TSB for CDF drum, 10R60/10R80/10R80 MHT

    This is the procedure I follow every time I park even on the slightest of inclines. Watching (or feeling) a vehicle roll back and bounce on the parking pawl is like nails on a chalkboard to me. One nice thing about the Auto Hold feature (if you have it turned on) is that when you later restart...

    New TSB for CDF drum, 10R60/10R80/10R80 MHT

    So, if I'm going to have the same symptoms eventually, is there anything I can do now while I'm still under warranty? The only real issue I've had with the transmission is the clunking it does when going into gear on an incline. To mitigate this, I engage the parking brake when I'm parking on...

    Wow, even on a '24, huh?

    New TSB for CDF drum, 10R60/10R80/10R80 MHT

    UPDATE: Oops, guess this isn't a new TSB after all... and I'm not sure how to delete this post. Although Flying Wrenches' YouTube post is new, others were talking about this TSB earlier last year...
