    OBD 2 port intermittently working with Scan tool

    Almost certainly the $100 scan tool at fault than the $50,000 vehicle.

    2018 expedition headlight assembly ballast replacement

    Good info @HILLY - drivers I've heard of for LED, but not ballasts. I wonder why they elected to intentionally use the wrong term.

    2023 Expy Ltd. Driver side door power buttons stop working intermittently

    Maybe the fuse is loose and wiggling into and out of contact? Or maybe the fuse burnt out partially, and there's a small contact still happening? Best change it and see if that resolves the issue. It's certainly the cheapest thing to try first!

    2023 Expy Ltd. Driver side door power buttons stop working intermittently

    Have you checked all the fuses are seated correctly? There's 2 fuse boxes. One under the hood, and one under the dash. The passenger compartment fuse box, fuse 23, controls: - Power window switch. - Power mirror switch. - Left-hand front door zone module. Sure sounds like all the things...

    2018 expedition headlight assembly ballast replacement

    But... LEDs don't use ballasts... HID bulbs do, but not LEDs. You have a 2018 Platinum? That came as standard with LED headlights. And they all came with LED running lights. Your vehicle doesn't have any ballasts in it. Edit: I just checked, and no gen 4 comes with HID. Only LED and...

    Cup Holder Rattle - Only When Cup Present

    Watching this video, makes me think that some of the buttons on the bottom are loose. That's why slight downward pressure on the drink vessel will stop the rattle. He has a previous video showing how to remove the cupholders, but it's a 2018 and the trim looks different to my 2020 Plat...

    Approach Detection - MY2020

    When you approach the truck with the key in your pocket, the power running boards deploy. Puddle (and some other) lights come on etc. To my mind, our Expedition knows I'm standing near it with the key, because when I touch the door handle it unlocks the truck. I can't imagine an extra sensor...

    APIM shows no version or build number

    Flashing something that is not working properly is a sure-fire path to permanently bricking it. You need to get it working the way it is before you do anything as potentially destructive as flashing the firmware. What happens when you scan the truck with Forscan? Does the APIM respond and...

    Seatbelt extenders

    Certain trims do - Platinum for sure. Depends on how the logic has been programmed for these airbag seatbelts. None of us can test this non-destructively. Only the Ford engineers know for sure. If I had to hazard a guess, the risk of not firing the airbag for a belt that is buckled, is...

    APIM shows no version or build number

    Did all these problems appear before or after you tried forcing the updates?

    Integrated front wheel hub 4wd grinding $20 upgrade. “Save your front wheel hubs easily”

    Checked my 2020 Platinum yesterday and it has the blue check valve hose. I wonder if that was there from new, or if they swapped it out during a service...

    Approach Detection - MY2020

    We have a 2020 Expedition Platinum. A friend has the 2019 Navigator (Reserve I think). On his truck, he has approach detection. Is there a way to enable that on ours in Forscan, or is there a module on the Lincoln that isn't on the Expedition? I always thought of them as pretty much the...

    2021 limited Rear cabin heat/air

    Simply not true. Our 2020 roof vents in the 2nd and 3rd rows push heat out, not just cool air. The rear climate controls too have a button to direct air to the top only, which in the case of heating, would include warm air. What the tech is probably doing is poorly describing/understanding...

    Rear/Mirror Defrost for Longer...

    Has anyone figured out a way to make the rear window and mirror defrost stay on longer? It seems to stay on for maybe 15 minutes, then it turns itself off. Up here in the frozen north, that's just not long enough. I'll look back and the window is frosted up again. Is there a Forscan setting...

    Cup Holder Rattle - Only When Cup Present

    No, they’re all pretty strong springs in there. None have given out.
