    problems associated with fuel pump replacement?

    If I had to guess, they kinked the vent hose when they reinstalled the tank. That's why you're having difficulty filling it. I can't answer the second question, though.

    Door lock actuator

    The solenoid is not able to overcome the friction of the lock mechanism. That could be due to either a mechanism problem (maybe as simple as lubing it) or the solenoid could be failing. Either way, once you pull the door panel, it should be fairly obvious.

    Ran into a Deer. . .dang!

    Had the same thing happen to my F250, ended up at about $8500.

    Towing my '16 Expedition

    Yep, got all that. I've been towing it now for 3 years with some add on lights and it tows very well. I'm just trying to clean up the whole system. I had my Explorer and my F150 set up with every thing and they worked well and had minimal fuss to hook them up. I'd like to do the same with...

    Towing my '16 Expedition

    I am towing my Expedition behind my motorhome and would like to set it up like I had my Explorer set up with all the lights functional. I had 1 connector at the front of the Explorer that I connected to and was able to have the running lights, turn signals and brake lights work while being...

    2015-2017 console wiring?

    IAM, Does that Expy have the Intelligent Access system? If so, would you start it, take the key fob away from the vehicle and then go back to it without the fob and see if you can put it into gear? This may lead the rest of us to the Secure Idle settings. tia!

    How do you remove the shift column?

    There's a couple of screws on the underside of the column that when removed will allow the lower (underside of the column) cover to be removed. The top cover can either be snapped into place or it may have screws holding it down. You'll have to look once you get the lower cover off. If the...

    Dinghy towing behind motorhome

    Yes it can, IF it's 4WD. I don't know what year they added the capability, but I've been towing my '16 for 3 yrs now without any issues. It works great! Put the transmission in neutral, shift the transfer box into neutral and tow away.

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    So I came home this evening and immediately went to my '16 EL Limited with the computer. My BCM line 726-42-01 line already had a "1" in the second spot. So I tried changing it to a "0". That seemed to give several error messages (brakes, hill descent and a 3rd, but I don't remember it), but...

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    That's interesting your 17 doesn't have the 726-41-02 line, as my 16 Limited EL has it and I did the change to stop the double honk. It also appears to stop the horn from honking at all when the engine is running. Meaning when I leave the vehicle and double punch the fob lock button, I do not...

    Keyless Start Fob (17 Platinum)

    Hawk, This link may give you what you need, but a very quick scan also may tell you you're forced to the dealer. I did not read the entire thing to see if there is a resolution. https://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=839&hilit=programming+a+second+key After scanning that a bit more...

    Radio reception suddenly stopped

    I'm pretty sure the aerial is in the passenger side rear window on my 16. Check to make sure the cable connection hasn't been knocked loose there. That's probably more likely than the cable coming out of the head unit.

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    HawkX66, That's correct, updating he APIM line 7D0-02-01, space 2 from the OEM "5" to a "7" does activate it. I don't use my Expy a lot, but when I do, I'm usually traveling with a passenger who can then use it to it's fullest. I try not to do stuff like that when I'm by myself. So the...

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    As a follow up to my prev post, I had not updated the sync in some time and the older version somehow did not allow for the in motion nav. Once I updated it, it the nav is working in motion. So if you're having some weird issues, try updating sync to see if that fixes the issues.
