Hi,
I just bought a 2005 KR and I noticed it did not have seatfold buttons to fold the 3rd row seats. I looked under the seats and saw they are motors that read Fisher 40% and 60% Power Mech Assy. They are no cables in the sockets. Why is this part missing? Is it something that the manufactory making a mistake when assemble the truck? Can I ask the Ford authorized dealer to fix it with free charge?
Thank you,
Quoc

Welcome to the Forum.

Are you even remotely serious?! No dealer nor Ford itself is going to repair anything on a 2005 vehicle for free, especially if you are not the original owner.

Now let us verify something, you are saying you don't have a pair of buttons to fold the left 40% seat down and one right beside it to fold the 60% seat down? You do know its in the back and not up front at the drivers position don't you? They are ALL the way in the back. To reach the controls, one has to lift the rear liftgate or the rear glass and the two buttons are on the passenger side half way down between the rear side window and the rear cargo floor decking. If you don't have those two control up/down buttons in the rear passenger side cargo area, you must have bought an Expedition that somebody re-badged as a KR. Having said that, my research on both the 2005 2X4 and 4X4 KRs show power 40/60 split third row seats as standard.

Hope that helps. 2005 KR Expedition is a nice looking truck!

Hi, thank you for your prompt reply. You may be right about someone re-badged it to look like KR because the second row seats are now captain seats. The door panels have some stapler in them to keep the leather trim in place and visible. The exterior has KR emblems. The truck should have heated seats too, but there are no control buttons either.
I did check everywhere in the front driver side and under the lift gate, I did not see anything. I attach some pictures for you to see the motors are not hooked up.

On my 2003 EB 4x4 there are TWO sets of buttons for the rear seats.
One set is the very rear passenger side corner above the power outlet.
The other one is on the driver's side on the wall just behind the 2nd row seat.

Wow! you have for switches and mine has none. I think Ford made a mistake on assembling the trucks.

I called Ford support and they checked he VIN number, they said that it was built with the buttons. But I could not find the buttons anywhere. I'm wondering if I can get the connectors, switches and panel to put in myself?

You could but I would still look at the ford etis site see what all was on it when built

Is it possible that the expy had suffered some damage and has been repaired
I would think that the original owner or even any owner would have had that problem taken care of long before you purchased the expy

Carfax looked clean when I bought it. Even if repair, the connectors and the panel should still be there. Only the two motors under the seats are there.

For etis site does not show "With Third Row Power Folding Seat". I guess it was never built.
