    Photo cell mod '03 Expedition

    How to put it back Snap on the connector snap into place Modification complete! Now I admit sometimes the lights come on when I'm in the shade on a not-so-bright day, but when that happens, the dash is still easily viewable. I used one 20# white, unprinted "hole" -...

    Photo cell mod '03 Expedition

    Drop the hole in the cap, and then drop the circut board on top of the upside-down cap (so the hole doesn't fall out) Pliers can snap the board back into place Slide the pins carefully back into the holes on the other plastic piece How it looks right before they snap together...

    Photo cell mod '03 Expedition

    Here is the tricky part - as you can see, I've SERIOUSLY bent the plastic out of the way to get the circuit board to release... Unfortunately, I see no other easy way to do this, so proceed with caution. If it breaks, I think it can still be assembled fairly easily because the wires could hold...

    Photo cell mod '03 Expedition

    The inside slides out... (needs just a little force on the "dome" to release Closeup disassembled I removed the "dome" so have something to push on (later). Can be removed with a smaller flathead screwdriver on the one side...

    Photo cell mod '03 Expedition

    This may work on other Ford trucks... please let me know if you have a similar setup. I have always had the complaint that the automatic headlights don't turn on early enough... it has to be downright dark for them to turn on - probably 30-60 minutes after when I would like them on. Ford...

    New Brake Pad Review

    Brake pads, rotors, and finally resolution Interesting experience with my '03 Expy... I've been complaining about the brake dust and squeaking brakes since we got the truck 2 years ago... at 15,000 miles they "inspected" everything and said we had 60% of the OEM pads left, and the squeaking...

    Played burned DVDs on stock '03 DVD Player

    I do this all the time, but I found that specific manufacturers blank DVDs work better than others... Also, the player doesn't like DVD+Rs as much as DVD-Rs... the DVD-R format is slightly "more" compatable than the +R format... and forget +RW and -RW... Even then, occasionally it gives the...

    Can your "stock" DVD player play "backup" copies of DVD's?

    My DVD-R Discs recorded on an external Sony 510 work in my '03 Expy!

    2003 Expy in the shop - can't handle rain!

    Ran through a 1" puddle yesterday on the passenger's side... LOUD metal scraping sound afterwards! So... get it towed to the dealer and gave them the following list: 1. Metal scraping - undrivable now... looks like the passenger rear tire "drags" a bit. 2. Driver's rear taillight has 1" of...

    power 3rd row seat

    Buttons are disabled when the doors are closed. Safety feature. I do wish it was faster (and one-touch as I already said) but it's definitely a neat feature!!! Now, if only I had a power liftgate. :)

    2003 Ford "Eddie" Expedition (56k beware)

    I'll have to check, but I think the specifications did not list wireless headphones, although that was an option later in the year. If the specs have wireless listed, I'll definitely pursue it!

    2003 Ford "Eddie" Expedition (56k beware)

    Heh... actually, it is - that is a friend's remote. I have not been able to program two rolling-code type remotes on homelink - whenever I program the second, it wipes out the first. Non rolling-code multiple-programs work.

    Window Tinting

    I did the legal limit here in KY for the front - 35%. Left the rear stock. I should have put on 20%, but didn't want to run the chances of getting a ticket. It does help the heat, though:

    power 3rd row seat

    I've got botht he climate seats and the power-fold third row. I LOVE the climate seats - I'm always hot in the summer, and love the cooled seats. (My wife doesn't like the cooled seats, but loves the heated seats!) As for the power-fold third row, thankfully that isn't an issue in mine...

    Problem with side mirrors in reverse mode

    I have this issue on both sides - dealer replaced the passenger side, but refuses to replace the driver's side with the same issue, telling me there's a TSB saying it is currently being worked on. In the mean time, EVERY time I unlock the doors with the key (which sets the mirrors) they go...

    shaking at 70+ MPH

    Same issue here, and it's still there after 15,000 miles!!! I am planning on writing Ford an official complaint. If I didn't owe more than it's worth, I'd be tempted to sell my 2002 Expy... it's sad to say, because the rest of the vehicle is great, but I can't take it on highway trips (one...
