I haven't seen this before, though I have seen snow and ice in the door jamb and rocker panel area, either from blowing in or coming off boots. I would recommend drying it out then spraying the area with silicone spray. That may help with drainage of water/snow.
Just to add to my reply above, the problem came back. But, I found the problem in my case, which was a corroded liftgate switch. See: Power liftgate opens randomly - fixed (2016 Navigator)
In case anyone has this happen to them (may be Navigator-specific), here's the story:
vehicle:
2016 Navigator
symptoms:
- power liftgate would open upon startup and would occasionally open on its own when the vehicle was left unlocked
- it would open 80% of the time but eventually was 99+%
-...
Hey guys,
I have a 2016 Navigator Reserve and I'm trying to track down a leak. The fluid is thin and slippery, almost like coolant. It leaks off the truck at the bolt head on the body mount. But I haven't found a source beyond the mount yet ie. everything above the lowest part of the mount...
Found my pics. Attached for what it's worth. The first is a pic from the front seats aimed toward the back (the 3rd row is folded down). It's with the 2nd row centre console removed, which I usually do in the winter so I can throw snowboards in there without fear of ripping up the leather on...
Just wanted to add my experience to this thread as it was the only one that came up that had the same symptoms I had.
Background:
- 2016 Navigator
- power liftgate would not open, but you could hear the latch releasing and then a few seconds later latching again
- there was no noise, like any...
I've been meaning to provide an update to this thread but keep forgetting. I eventually went with the Husky and am very happy with them. I have a 2nd row console and the Husky mats have cut lines to fit around it.
I have Weathertech's in my car and find the Husky is a lot easier to keep...
I had 17x8.5" aftermarket rims with OEM-sized 265/70 tires on my '05 Exp for the winter. I forget what the offset was but it was close or exactly OEM.
My '16 Nav has OEM 22" and the 17" bolt right up with no clearance issues, tire dia. is the same, and the aftermarket Redi-sensor TPMSs also...
Late to the party but just to add another data point: I do all the work on my vehicles (minus the tranny rebuild) but with the last 2 I bought, they were still under warranty. So I got the Ford Premium Care warranty and $0 deductible. Sounds counter-intuitive, but I made my money back on them --...
Not sure which ones you have but as a data point, I bought some from discounttiredirect.com when I bought a winter wheel pkg for my 2005 Expedition (valve style). I now have a 2016 Navigator and they trained fine this past winter. I spoke with the manufacturer years back when I first got them...
I was just about to ask for help on entering TPMS training mode on my 2016 Navigator as I'm putting winter wheels/tires on it, but I got it to work. I did some searching on the forum here and found there was some information that may be useful to add for others, so here it is.
The Navigator has...
Plenty of happy people in both camps, so I'm concluding you can't go wrong with either. FYI, the WeatherTech 1-piece would be no trouble to install as it's split on the sides (basically shaped like an I-beam).
Thanks for the feedback. I just put an order in for the WeatherTech fronts yesterday (while there were a couple of promos the retailer had) and plan to order the rear one-piece shortly.
Thanks for the feedback on the Husky. I am leaning towards the Weathertech or the Husky Weatherbeater. I want full coverage for all the nasty snow/salt/water that's going to accumulate. Both have coverage on the outside of the 2nd row seats, which the Maxliner does not. Big savings though if I...
This is a great thread, so I thought I would add to it rather than start a new one. I recently replaced my '05 Expedition for a '16 Navigator and am looking at mats. I was going to go with the Maxliner, but I like the idea of a one-piece 2nd and 3rd row mat.
So here's the thing: my Nav has 2nd...
What was your first code? You might be missing a #. I hijacked this previous thread with a problem I had. It might have useful info for you: https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/o-d-off-light-flashing.28936/
Haha - yeah, I remember riding in my friend's Santa Fe or Mazda car of some kind a number of years ago with some dopey screen sticking out of the dash. He wasn't too impressed when I tried to fold it down.
Looking to possibly downsize from my Exp and have to tell you the 4Runner with its basic...
I had an erratic fuel gauge on my 2005. Seemed to happen more in the winter (started end of 2 winters ago and during last winter, would go away in the summer except for once or twice when it was really cold and damp), possibly because of moisture from snow/salt/water getting into the big...
For the spare tire, I would just lower it before spraying. They can drive it into the bay slowly (tell them in advance) and will have no problem spraying above it. I would also pull many of the access plugs and show them where they can get in to spray.
And like another poster said, pull the...
