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...
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...
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 -...
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...

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...
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.

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...
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...
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
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...
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.
