    Sync Bluetooth Audio & Rear Media Console Issues

    When did this issue start? Did audio ever work from your phone over Bluetooth? Audio streaming uses a different protocol/mechanism then phone calls in the sync module. Maybe check grounds and connectors at the rear console controls and at the sync module. (2017 XLX) the sync module is under...

    2009 Expedition EL - Crank No start. Fuel pump?

    Unwise to buy a 2017 Exp XLT with 140K?

    Hello GreenRoomSon, Last Nov. 2023 I purchased a 17 XLT with 164K. I purchased from a used car dealer and I did buy the offered extended warranty (24K miles/24 months). I did a fair amount of research on the 3.5 Eco, have been a lurker for a long time. Coming from an 09 F150 SuperCrew with...

    Oil leak?

    Looks like the motor mount to me, but I doubt it is leaking. Usually the are made or hard rubber. Ford calls them: Insulator Assy - Engine Support Insulator Picture is disorienting. Is that on the driver side? Looks like oil is leaking from the sensor or oil filter adapter and blowing back...
