I have been doing some rocker panel work on my 04 EB Expedition (slip on rockers). I went with rivets and metal auto adhesive since I have never welded thin metal and did not want to practice on this project! So, as I drilled some holes along the top where the big weatherstripping sits (where the big bundle of wires sits behind-driver's side) I poked the wire bundle a few times before I smartened up and put a piece of wood behind it. After that, I discovered some things did not work. So from searching this forum and others, I think it has something to do with the delayed accessory relay.
What doesn't work: electric windows, gauges (instrument lights do work), radio, interior lights, vanity light, under hood light, moon roof, vent windows, automatic headlights, 4wd indicator)
What does work: high beam indicator, headlights (high and low), tail lights, brake lights, instrument panel lights, heater blower, signal lights, door locks, wipers, daytime running lights.
There is no power to fuse #22, so I am guessing it is a wire problem that gets power to the fuse. I assume then the power goes to the delayed accessory relay. I did try swapping relay #02 and 03, but with no power to it I guess that probably was a useless test.
I did notice by the rear door (driver side), there is a green wire with a brown stripe that has a nick in the coating. The wire is not broken but the drill bit clearly glanced across the coating. I plan to cut that wire and put it back together.
So, which wire am I looking at that gets power to fuse #22, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I also tried disconnecting the battery for a while hoping that would work-it did not!
Thanks to everyone who posts such great info on this forum for us do it yourself kind of folks!
