    Heated / Cooled Seats not working properly

    Starting from the beginning ... Current issue in bold if you want to skip the long history. Prior to taking possession of my truck the selling dealership found that the heated/cooled seats in my vehicle would shut off immediately after pressing the button. They (allegedly) replaced the DSCM...

    Heated seats

    Prior to purchasing my truck, the dealership that sold me the vehicle replaced the heated seat control module and relay as part of the CPO (certified pre-owned) process. The problem at the time was that the heated seats were shutting off immediately after being turned on. That repair got...

    License plate bulb replacement ?

    Answered my own question. The pins (which look like screws) pop out just like the ones on any trim panel. Then just work the cover loose (sticks if it's never been touched) and twist the socket out of the cover housing.

    Oil leak after oil pan/timing chain cover repair

    A couple weeks ago I brought my '11 EL to Ford to get a few warranty repairs done, including repair of a small timing chain cover leak. FYI this leak was discovered by an independent mechanic; I have never had so much as a drop of anything other than water under my truck. When Ford had the car...

    Does your blower whistle?

    The blower in my Expedition whistles. The higher I turn up the fan, the louder the whistle gets. The dealership took a look at it, said it was defective, and replaced it. However, the (allegedly) new one whistles as well. Does the blower in your 3rd gen whistle, especially at high speeds?

    '11 EL - 3rd row vent?

    I've got a vent at the right rear of my '11 EL (right before the liftgate). Am I supposed to be getting any airflow out of there when the rear heat is on or is that simply ventilation for the auxiliary blower motor?

    2nd Row Seat Removal in 3rd Gen [Brief how to]

    Previously, I posted asking how to remove the 2nd row seats in a 3rd gen Expedition and it seemed no one knew how. One guy actually posted that he just tore everything out and superglued it back in. :D Well I didn't want to go that route so tonight I took another look at it and as it turns...

    Backup camera not functioning

    When I test drove my 2011 Expedition EL a week ago, the backup camera worked fine. However, about 2 hours after I took delivery I noticed the camera wasn't working. It seems that at some point during the certification process, someone stuffed something up (or it's a huge coincidence). The...

    Grille Guard pics for 3rd gen ?

    I know this topic has come up several times in the past, but I didn't see anything recent. I'm looking to get a grille guard for a little urban bumper protection since roughly 3% of the population is truly able to drive. :p What kind of grille guards are you guys using for your 3rd gen...

    Would you buy an Expedition with a limo history?

    We went to look at a 2013 Expedition EL yesterday with about 70K miles on it. It is, unfortunately, a smoker vehicle (though not Marlboro man level) and does have a 2 (barely noticeable) areas on the tailgate that are starting to bubble (each about the size of an eraser). That aside, it...

    Charcoal black seats - carpeting color?

    What color is the carpeting color on models with charcoal black seats? In some pics it appears a light to medium gray, whereas in others it appears black. I'm Expedition shopping right now and want to avoid black carpets because it's been a nightmare in our Mazda 6 with the number of dogs we...
