    03-06 Positive Battery Terminal Repair

    So my truck was plagued with the positive battery terminal issue as many of you may have experienced where the terminal will no longer tighten enough to prevent the terminal from spinning. It would consistently loosen and caused intermittent starting problems. I decided to do something about...

    AirBag Light Code 42 Fix

    I am in the rust belt... north Twin Cities in MN. I own five vehicles and this is the first one I had that I've needed to replace all of the lines on. This is also one of my newer vehicles. Perhaps I should park it and drive the Contour year round or the Camaro lol. That said the new sensor...

    AirBag Light Code 42 Fix

    Well I figured I'd update this thread again... so here I am once again experiencing the SRS code 42. Ugh. This is ridiculous. Pulled the same sensor out and the pins still look good this time. The dielectric grease I had placed there back in 2011 was still doing its job. No corroded pins...

    Heated / Cooled seat Problem

    Alright as I thought unplugging the fuse or the battery does not wipe the EATC or the seat control modules. Unplugging fuse 118 reset the seat control modules on both seats and now my passenger side heated seat is working OK again. Just thought I'd update this thread so that people would not...

    Heated / Cooled seat Problem

    This seems ridiculous. I've got it so that my passenger seat doesn't work, switches turn on driver seat works fine... never had battery problems. Although I haven't really diagnosised it further, just decided to do a quick search online to see if anyone else had the same issue. So...

    Sounding like diesel.. Cam Phasers?

    So my truck has sounded like a diesel since I bought it used. Never thought a thing of it. But my mileage has sucked lately only getting about 12-13mpg. I would expect to get 15-16 since I drive a short run on the highway with it every day to get to work. After doing some research I found...

    AirBag Light Code 42 Fix

    I just thought I'd update this thread... I went ahead and changed the sensor on mine and it fixed the issue as well. However mine was a simply diagnosis... when I unplugged the harness from the sensor one of the pins from the sensor was still in the harness. Apparently the pins corroded and...

    AirBag Light Code 42 Fix

    Good find... truck just started doing this last week... looks like $60 and it'll go away. What a joke. Sensors should last the life of the vehicle now days.

    OBDII Diagnostic Port - Not working?

    Well I hate wiring... but at least I understand it and can read schematics pretty easily. After chasing through pages upon pages of schematics and checking continuity of connections across the truck I found no problems. However as it turns out Ford decided not to support the standard ISO...

    OBDII Diagnostic Port - Not working?

    Yea that was the first thing I checked. All of my cigarette lighter ports have power as does the OBDII port. There is just no communication. I noticed there is a 4-pin gray connector taped back behind the OBDII port and was wondering if something needed to be plugged into that as well to...

    OBDII Diagnostic Port - Not working?

    So I wanted to run a diagnostic check on my 05. I plugged in my scanner to the OBDII port, turned on the key, and no dice. The scanner powers up but says 'Error' when I try to read the codes. Not having faith in my scanner, I grabbed my SCT X3 programmer and tried using it, same thing with an...

    Transmission lines... which one is the return?

    Figured I'd respond to this seeing as I just finished the flush and fill, which for those wondering there is a 'How-To' in the how-to forum for it now. The return line is the one leaving the radiator and coming back to the transmission, which I believe ends up being the top port on the...

    03-06 4R75E Transmission Flush & Fill, Filter Change, and Pan Drain Plug Kit Install

    Thanks. I did a ton of searching before I finally figured everything out, and felt I had a good enough idea on everything to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Hopefully having this stickied will save people the time I spent researching. Having done this now, with the drain plug...

    03-06 4R75E Transmission Flush & Fill, Filter Change, and Pan Drain Plug Kit Install

    Installing the Filter: Now before reinstalling the pan remove the old filter. It should come out really easily. However be careful that the seal of the filter has not come off into the filter bore (you can see the seal in the picture of the filter under the parts section above). When you...

    03-06 4R75E Transmission Flush & Fill, Filter Change, and Pan Drain Plug Kit Install

    Changing the Filter: At this point if you are going to change the filter (If you are not skip down to the last section 'Filling the Transmission') you can drop the pan as you have evacuated most of the fluid in the pan. To drop the pan you will need a 10mm socket, 10" extension, ratchet, and...

    03-06 4R75E Transmission Flush & Fill, Filter Change, and Pan Drain Plug Kit Install

    This is merely a guide for a process that worked for me. I am not responsible, if while following these steps, something is broken or damaged. Alright well I've seen a few How-To's around here but nothing with a great deal of actual on vehicle pictures. Also I have not seen any on the later...

    Transmission Service / Fluid, Filter, Gasket for 4W70R transmission

    Just thought I would add to this... Transmission code 'B' is for a 4R75E I had a hard time finding this as the typically Ford decoder does show transmission type. Also for what it's worth my Expedition has the selectable 2H, A4WD, 4H, and 4L. EDIT: This is only for 03-05 Expeditions. In 06...

    Transmission lines... which one is the return?

    So I'm about to tackle the transmission flush and fill, but I'm not sure which line is the return line? Here is a diagram below of what my setup looks like. I know I can disconnect one line and then start the truck to see which one is which, but I'd rather get it right the first time. So if...

    Transmission types

    I guess the first question is... was it maintained? If it wasn't it doesn't matter what transmission you have in it... If I were you I would just replace what was in it and do the proper maintenance. i.e. fluid change every 50k with a filter change every other fluid change. If your beating...

    05 Transfer Case Capacity Issue?

    Alright so I'm taking quite a long trip with my Expedition and I wanted to make sure everything was up to snuff. Since I'm the second owner I didn't know the maintenance history because I picked up at a dealer and of course they didn't know squat if it wasn't brought to them for service. So...

    Confirmed the Eddie Bauer Gold Trim paint code

    Good find on the Eddie Bauer lower trim paint code! I'm going to have to go pick some up. Someone scratched my truck in a parking lot. Looks like they dragged their bumper or something across the drivers side rear door trim and into the wheel arc trim. I got a quote for a pint of the paint...

    Window Switch lights

    Did anyone figure this one out? I had to take my drivers side rear door window switch apart because it wasn't working. Found out that the contacts inside the switch had crap built up on them. Took the contacts out and placed them in a glass of acetone and then dried them off. Switch works...
