    No engine power after water pump replacement

    Thanks for replying. I saw a video on replacing that valve. I think I'm going to do that. One thing I didn't consider until just now. Though the pipe is still attached, maybe it blew a hole in it or split. Gotta check that. Thanks, again.

    No engine power after water pump replacement

    I previously posted about my 2015 not developing typical ecoboost power. It was running great, as usual, until I replaced the water pump. It hasn't developed the power it is supposed to have since. A couple of responses were turbo related. I used an OBD2 scanner to check it. Of course, it is...

    3.5 Ecoboost not developing power

    I'll double-check all my airflow connections. Of course, the check engine light is on, but I haven't had it checked, yet. Otherwise, no codes are displayed in the dash. Thanks for the replies.

    3.5 Ecoboost not developing power

    I recently replaced the water pump, myself, on my 2015. Of course, I had to remove the throttle body. I watched a couple of YouTubes on the throttle body replacement. Since then, the engine runs smooth, but it no longer has the power it had. I called a local shop about calibrating the TB. The...

    Engine dropping to idle at speed

    My '15 Expedition has begun randomly dropping to an idle at any speed during various levels of acceleration. The throttle becomes totally useless. I can turn the engine off and back on and it will run fine. The first time it happened, the dealer replaced the throttle body. I recently took it in...

    Removing fuse from fuse block.

    Well, I assume the others will be the same issue, if I try to remove them. I don't want to have to replace all of them to change one. I used needle nosed, as well. I got it out, but it chipped pieces all around. Thanks for responding.

    Removing fuse from fuse block.

    Thanks for the link. https://www.electricalhub.com/littelfuse-0895030-low-profile-jcase-fuses?_vsrefdom=adwords&_vsrefdom=adwords&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkNWlya7c4QIVgrbACh2WCwymEAQYAyABEgIgUPD_BwE It's no bigger than 1/2" on its widest dimension, pushed almost flush to the red cap.

    Removing fuse from fuse block.

    No, there are a bunch of them. All in the same situation. Very low top above the block, all too close together to get a grip with anything. Using piers, or otherwise try to pry them out will break the top off and break pieces of the sides.

    Removing fuse from fuse block.

    Good idea on pushing down. There is absolutely no wiggle room. It's down in the block with only the top and a mini-smidgen of the case showing. Any pressure on the case and it breaks off. Nothing otherwise to move. Same fuses on both side. Total design failure. Thanks for replying.

    Removing fuse from fuse block.

    Been there, done that. I checked a couple there with no problem. Well, I did that. I needed to see if it was blown. Broke it all up, but at least, it would plug back in. Gotta replace it for sure. That is my starting point on most all car work. Thanks for replies. I was hoping someone knew...

    Removing fuse from fuse block.

    You would think, but there is absolutely no room to grab it. It's almost flush with the block, except for the cap that pulled off, breaking part of the side case.

    Removing fuse from fuse block.

    I need to remove a 40 amp fuse from the fuse block under the hood on my 2015. It's one of those little fat, square fuses, with no apparent grab place. I tried piers, but all that did was break the top off. I can't get a grip anywhere on it. How is this done without damage?

    Hill Descent Control

    Thanks for the info. Guess I'll have to go find a hill in the rice fields around here to try it. Hope I don't forget this in July, when we go back to Colorado.

    Hill Descent Control

    Back on flat land in Texas, now. I'll give that a try next time.

    Hill Descent Control

    I'm beginning to think so. I agree.
