    DTC Code P1131

    I cleaned the MAF sensor wires - cleared the codes - no more CEL - and it is running better and gets better mileage.

    DTC Code P1131

    Tonight when driving home from work my 1997 Expy Eddie Bauer with 5.4L check engine light came on. I noticed no change in performance - no shuddering, hesitation, etc. I went to Autozone and borrowed the code reader and the code pulled was P1131. Where would you start on the list below...

    Running Boards

    Can't find any specifically for the EXP - but there is the PowerStep for the Excursion, F150, F250, F350....maybe you could make that work.

    New Info on 03 Brake dust problem

    Here's bringing up an old thread, but on the early Expy's the Parking/E-brake does not use the disc brake pads - on the inside of the rotor hub is a mini-drum brake set-up - complete with its own set of brake shoes - so this suggested fix won't work on my truck - not that I have noticed a...

    Sweeeeet. I would be tempted to get some black rims on it - personally I am not a fan of chrome.:)

    monochrome 2004 Eddie Bauer?

    What color was it? The only thing I could find that looked monochrome from 2004 offerings was the dark grey looking paint with dark grey cladding.

    New to me 97 EB 4x4

    Nothing special about this EB Expy - it's going to be my tow vehicle for hauling around the race bike trailer - and our general trip machine for road trips/camping, etc. So far I really like it (except the gas mileage - which is no worse than my Bronco was). Usually I commute by motorcycle -...

    Brake lights not working

    Hmm was there corrosion in there that looks like it could have caused the short? Seems a little strange for it to just short out, unless it just plain mechanically wore out on the inside and shorted. Maybe I will grab my tube of dialectric grease and start coating some of my under dash...

    monochrome 2004 Eddie Bauer?

    From http://www.ford-trucks.com/specs/2004/2004_expedition.html In order to be consistent across Ford?s SUV lineup, Expedition trim level names have been changed for 2004. Five distinct series now will be offered. XLS replaces XLT as the value-conscious model. XLT includes ordering...

    blown engine???

    Timesert makes a nice kit for just this purpose - my friend had to do it on his F250 with 5.4L - said it was a good kit and relatively easy for a home mechanic to install. http://www.timesert.com/html/ford_sparkplug_faq.html

    Satbilizer Pins (Sway Bar links) - can cause noise in your suspension

    Stabilizer Pins (Sway Bar links) - can cause noise in your suspension I just bought a 1997 Expy EB with 70K original miles on it, and it is in excellent shape. One of the points that came up in the prepurchase inspection was that there was some clunking coming from the suspension. (Got the...

    which wax do you use?

    I use Meguairs as well, and in between full waxes use the quick detailer. I use it on my motorcycle as well. Detailing tip similar to using the Rain-x on the chrome to help with bug sticking - Lemon Pledge. Great for removing bugs and protecting from bug guts sticking - doesn't hurt the...

    Fuse Box Breakdown

    Should be in the owners manual, right? I thought there was a diagram or 4 in my owners manual. If there is and you still need it I could scan it for you. I have a 97 EB

    Brake lights not working

    Was the connector on the wire side in any way defective or were the connectors on the original brake switch obviously worn?

    Heater Blower does not shut off...

    Did you find the source of the leak? Was this the engine compartment fusebox or the in-cab fuse box? Glad it was something simple!

    Heater Blower does not shut off...

    Wierd! Did you take the dash off and check the switch? Did you try pulling the fuse just to see if it would shut it off?

    lights go dim at stop lights

    Get a new battery quick - or check your alternator.

    1999 Oil Filter

    That's weird that you can put the old filter back on with no problems. If the threads on the oil filter boss are messed up then nothing should really screw on there all the way. What filter did was the old one? When you say it was tougher to remove - did you do anything that might have...

    4 wheel not working on 98 exped

    Sounds like the solenoid that should be activated by the switch is not working, or the switch might be bad.

    Thanks, when the snow finally stops I will crawl under there and take a good gander.

    Trailer Adapter Plug for 1997 Expedition

    Where is the Factory Ford wiring harness on the 97 Expedition? I have just picked up a used 1997 Eddie Bauer with the tow package (someone took off the hitch though) and I can't locate the trailer wiring at the back of the truck.
