    Power door UNLOCK problem

    Joval - thanks but the process you list is what I was referring to above. The dealer confirmed that I simply do not have this option and am supposed to get a sticker from Ford updating my manual.

    Removing face plate aorund radio - 2007

    Backup Camera Installation complete I just finished the install of my backup camera. I ended up wiring the camera to the reverse light circuit at the trailer hitch wiring. The monitor is wired to the reverse light circuit that is in the passenger kick panel wiring. The reverse light wire is...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    After looking at many wiring diagrams, I ended up copying the Ford diagram Chuck posted. What was confusing was where is the view taken from? I have attached a link to how I wired, just as a triple check form. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks - Mark...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    Update - Thanks to TK1971, I completed the same install as TK. I used two automotive wires (one 10 ga and one 12 ga.) and installed them into wire loom and ran them along the existing harness going to the rear. I purchased a Reese 7 way connector which has a 4 way connector and the extra...

    TK what is service entrance wire? does it have only two wires in one bundle (one 10 ga and the other 14 ga) or is it two separate wires? What color is it? Thanks - Mark

    Is 07' and 08' Trim the same for removal?

    While I do not know for sure, it appears that the photos of the dash look simular or even the same for the 07 and the 08's. Take a look at the Ford website and you will see what I mean. Mark

    UPDATE- My truck just came back from the dealer for the 18k service and they told me that my truck does NOT have this feature and my owners manual is wrong. Oh well...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    Its called "Winplus". My kids bought it for me from Costco. It is probobly a "you get what you pay for" unit, but I installed the camera on the hitch already and tested it. Now I need to wire the unit...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    Van- I agree but I still need a reverse light circuit in the cab because my backup camera monitor has one lead for 12 volt power and a separate lead to turn the monitor on and off automatically with the reverse lights.

    2007 HD Trailer Tow Aux Trans Radiator ??

    Hey Chuck - would you do me a favor- Can you take a pic of the regular radiator from the top looking down to I can see the width? If you look from the drivers side there is a small area which shows the plastic fan shroud and a view of how thick the rad actually is. I am questioning that...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    Ditto what TK said - I too enjoy working on cars/boats. Chcuk - If I bought it new I would definitely get the option! BTW I agree about using the $10 harness adapter to the brake plug. I have to be careful because one of those wires is hot all the time and the other is hot every time...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    After looking at the harness TK pointed out, it appears that this harness is the one that can be upgraded. After seeing this now and following it back along the frame, it doesn't seem too hard to replace. I also think that if I decide not to upgrade the harness, I can sneak a single wire...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    TK - Thanks - that helps me alot! I am going to see if there is a entry from the firewall that has a nice grommet already, that may allow me to sneak this wire thru. Now I know what to look for. BTW I went to the dealer last week and they said the wiring harness is about 160 bucks but they...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    Chuck - I have $1000 invested in my brakes which work great. I know it is easy to spend other peoples money... :) I also would never consider back-up lights on my trailer - I have an electric solenoid on my surge brake so when I go into reverse, the fluid stops from being applied to the...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    I am thinking of using the blue e-brake wire under the dash. I want to connect this reverse light circuit you mentioned under the hood, to this harness under the dash. Then, at the trailer hitch I will wire the blue wire to the reverse light circuit as I do not have or need electric brakes. I...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    TK and TR - I made a bracket picking up the opening in the stock 4-way mounting bracket and even eliminated any drilling. I have attached the link. http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/boatrboy/Expedition%20-%202007/?action=view&current=IMG_1709.jpg TK - can you elaborate on the reason...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    Wow - and I thought I was anal - :) I might do the same :) Although, I doubt (2) 1/4-20 tapped holes will really alter the strength of the hitch. I will have to think about this now.... Thanks -Mark

    TK - Can I ask why did'nt you just drill vertically (under the hitch) and mount the provided angle bracket to the bottom of the hitch?
