    Short Circuit?

    Drat. Another thing for me to worry about on my '03.

    Engine fail safe light

    Things that can cause it to go into limp mode: Over heating, low oil pressure....all I can think of. Either take it to Auto Zone or O'Reilleys and get them to do a free scan, or buy an inexpensive scanner from Amazon and see what codes are present. That should at least point you in the right...

    Just bought a 2010 EL limited. Shudder, help.

    If you are going to spend thousands on a transmission build anyway, at least try this first. Nothing to lose but about 10 bucks and it might fix it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002JMLQU/?coliid=ICTCAHQD0LJWM&colid=AWLOT5KHO12E&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

    A Question About Washer Fluid

    Probably the same thing that happened to my 2003. Do you seem to have to refill the washer reservoir more often than necessary? Mine would go empty without using it all. What Hamfisted said in post #2. Check out this thread...

    Broken spark plug !

    Wouldn't that strip the threads out of the head? That was a problem back when the 3 valve 5.4 were unintentionally blowing plugs out of the engine. Then you had to install helicoils to repair the threads.

    Is A/C cold at idle/around town in 2015-2017’s?

    I agree with Jonathan M. Have the refrigerant level checked.

    Stuck oil filter

    Take it to Jiffy Lube and tell them you need an oil and filter change.

    AC Pressure High before filled to capacity

    Yes, he added a new photo and edited the post after my post. See post #6.

    No crank/no start after oil pressure light

    Over full oil, milky oil. Both signs of coolant in the crankcase.

    Bypass pipe driver's side gasket leak and replacement

    Looks dry to me. Can you describe what's happening. Or do you mean that tiny bit of seepage above and left of the idler pulley?

    AC Pressure High before filled to capacity

    What I'm seeing in your photo of the gauges is Low side: 110 High side: 110. Low side is way to high, high side is way too low. When your vehicle’s air conditioning (AC) system behaves unusually, such as having high low-side pressure and low high-side pressure, several factors could be at...

    Decision Dilemma: Keeping or Parting Ways with Our 2019 Expedition Max – Seeking Insight and Opinions

    With only $14k left on the loan and only 44k miles, I would keep it. Any repairs you have from here on out would be way less than $80k. Toyotas have a great reputation but that's no guarantee of 100% reliability. Maybe once you reach 100,000 miles, think about a new vehicle. Ha, of course by...

    Are we NO for ignition?

    What sounds like an exhaust leak could possibly one of the spark plugs worked a little loose and is getting ready to blow out of the engine. A known problem with the Gen 2 Expeditions.

    Am I being paranoid?

    Out of curiosity, I'd like to hear more about that generator. I didn't know that was an option any more but mostly...why?

    05' EB Radio does not work and PHONE is lit up draining Battery

    I've never seen the "phone" symbol on my 03 EB. Have you looked through all the settings to see if there is a way to toggle the feature off?

    Coolant system cleaners

    Pretty much how I did it on my '03 with 5.4 engine. Used 10 gallons of distilled water to drain and fill 5 times. After the last drain, I put in two gallons of concentrated coolant and topped it off with distilled water. Coolant meter shows a 50/50 mixture. Good enough for our Central Texas...

    Oil Change Interval in Winter

    IMVHO...yes. 20w50 is too heavy of an oil for Expedition. What does the owners manual and the oil fill cap call for?

    2005 Ford Expedition 5.4l - Half the coil packs don't work

    I had 3 coils go bad by 90K on my 03 Expedition. Just curious, how do you know it's coils 6, 7, and 8? Did they all stop working at the same time?

    Coolant leak

    Just curious, but how do you know you have a coolant leak if you can't see a leak? I don't think its wise to just throwing parts at it. If the water pump or thermostat housing is leaking, it should be very obvious. Hopefully it's not an internal leak like a head gasket.

    2022 SPP: Flashing Check Engine Light

    You are correct. A flashing check engine light means an engine misfire. Why not invest in an OBD II reader and find out what codes, if any, it's still showing? The dealer may not be willing to do anything since the problem appears to be gone, albeit perhaps temporarily.

    I forgot to post my new member check-in so here we go.

    Very nice! Welcome to the forum.

    Bad coolant flush/replace by dealership?

    Just spit balling here, but it is possible they only used 2 gallons of the concentrated coolant and filled the rest with water. That would give you about a 50/50 mixture.

    Battery died

    So, just a bad battery then?
