    Tailgate paint bubbling/corrosion resolved?

    That's not encouraging that the new TSB covers through model year 2016 Expeditions, Explorers, and F150s....that tells me they are expecting them to continue having the issue. I'm starting the pickup truck shopping process and can't even imagine buying a '15-up F150 where the whole body could...

    Tailgate paint bubbling/corrosion resolved?

    Hi guys. My wife and I are seriously considering a 2016 or leftover 2015 Expedition. Our 2011 has been a great truck for the 5 years we've had it, but it has the typical tailgate corrosion making the paint bubble up. Does anyone know if this issue is still happening on the newer...

    2011 Remote Start

    I believe if you check the changeable options chart, making the remote button need to be pushed once vs twice is on there. I'm assuming the dealer toggled this on you. If that's the case you should be able to toggle it back to a 2-press start command. I don't know if that will return the 2-way...

    2011 Remote Start

    This is what I went by. http://youtu.be/fQHb0mU0rvI My programing button is up too high to access like he does in the video, so I had to remove the plastic trim piece under the steering column and the piece that the power foot pedal adjustment button is in. I was in a rush, but one day I'll...

    2011 Remote Start

    Yup, David's videos were really the only help I was able to find anywhere. It's not a hard install, but after spending the coin on the system and not getting any instructions with it , I wanted to make sure I at least had some sort of guide. I too still have to do the program changes on the run...

    Need install instructions Ford remote start, plug and play

    Nevermind. I read a sequence to try out to get PATS to "authorize" the remote start. Put one key in the ignition and turn to RUN position. Wait for PATS light to go out. Quickly back to off and remove. Do again with key 2. Then hit remote start button twice. It's working now. Hope it wasn't a...

    Need install instructions Ford remote start, plug and play

    I went ahead with the install. When I lock the doors with the fob, then press the remote start button twice, the lights come on like they are supposed to, fuel pump powers up, etc, but the horn honks once and a few seconds later it starts beeping every other second, as if the panic button had...

    Need install instructions Ford remote start, plug and play

    PM sent as well. Got starter #AL1Z-19G364-A for my 2011 Expy XLT and don't know where to start. Foolish me figured there'd be printed instructions lol!

    Warming Chime randomly sounds

    UPDATE: We took it back to the dealership a couple of weeks ago. They replaced the rear tailgate latch. She told me there was a TSB out for this exact issue. I couldn't find anything online about it, and nobody here seems to have had this issue, so I'm surprised she said there was one...

    Warming Chime randomly sounds

    Yeah I'm thinking chasing the door switches is a good place to start. We had it at the dealership all day today but of course, just as I knew would happen, they couldn't reproduce it. However, when my wife was driving it home, the chime happened. It was the first time it has happened to...

    Warming Chime randomly sounds

    Our 2011 Expedition recently began having an issue where the warning chime (the one that sounds if a door or rear hatch is open, or your washer fluid is low, etc) but when it does, there is no message in the info display, and no dash idiot lights lit up. Sometimes it will do it 2-3 times...

    2011 head unit replacement

    There are 2 plugs in the back of my stock head unit. One larger one (which the adapter from our 2006 Explorer clicks right into, but a couple of the wires are different) and one smaller one. I'm not sure which wired are for the factory sub (mine has no sub anyways) but those are the only wire...

    "Don't try to replace spark plugs!" 2008 Why not?

    To echo what was said on the last page, a lot of people on the F-150 forums claim the air ratchet or impact works very successfully. A lot of guys say to run Seafoam or some similar addative to the last 2 or 3 tanks of fuel prior to doing the change, which theoretically cleans out some of the...

    2011 head unit replacement

    Ok so for the hell of it I removed the factory head unit and the adapter harness that was used to put the Kenwood in the '06 Explorer snapped right in place to the factory plug. Through trial and error I found that the only thing not making it to/from the Kenwood is switched 12V power. The wire...

    Need help with spark plugs!

    Did they actually change the plug design?? On the F150 forums the general consensus I always got was that somewhere in the 2007-2008 range they simply began applying anti-seize of some sort to the plugs during assembly, which helped but didn't eliminate the plug breaking issue. I just had the...

    "Don't try to replace spark plugs!" 2008 Why not?

    Even when that procedure is followed to a T, plugs can and do still break. It has been a well known problem on the 3V 5.4 since 2004. I just had mine done on my 2007 F150. Killed me to take it to the dealer for it but for $350 after the truck not costing me a dime for 100K miles, I just said...

    2011 head unit replacement

    Well, it sounds like this may be the wiring harness adapter I have to go with, along with the ASWC or PAC adapter to install the Kenwood, do away with SYNC, and maintain the steering wheel controls. http://www.installer.com/item/display_item.php?it=XSVI-5520-NAV

    2011 head unit replacement

    Hmmm, interesting that when you look for available wire harness adapters for a 2011 Expy with sync/ no sub to install an aftermarket head unit it says no products are available. Well there's a $200 kit that will work but it's to maintain all the sync functions to work with the new head unit.

    2011 head unit replacement

    I plan to replace the stock head unit in the 2011 XLT we just picked up. Base sytem, no sub, no DVD, has SYNC and rear audio controls. We have a nice Kenwood touch screen/DVD head unit we took out of our Explorer before trading it in, along with the iPod adapter and XM tuner/adapter...

    New Guy from MA

    Hello! My name is Sean and I live in southeastern Massachusetts. I just bought a lightly used 2011 Expedition XLT with 23K miles on it for my wife's daily driver. Here's a crappy cell phone pic. She has always driven mid-sized SUVs but even with the 3rd row seat her 2006 Explorer was...
