    Name/Part number for this sensor on master break cylinder

    That pigtail was added as part of a recall. That leaking sensor was causing F-150's and Expeditions to catch fire while parked and shut off. Seems that sensor is "hot-at-all-times" and when leaking brake fluid would destroy the insulation, a short could occur and start a fire.

    Rear AC Warm but Front AC Cold - 1998 5.4L XL 4WD

    I think if you pop the cupholder out on the driver's side third row you may be able to get a look at that blend door actuator and possibly tell if it is functioning.

    Front blower motor fuse/relay

    There is a relay inside the blower control module. These units in the panther cars (CV/GM/LTC) suffered from bad solder joints on the board inside.

    Rear Air Conditioning

    It appears he doesn't have a full rear A/C system with roof vents, but an auxiliary blower inside the center console to the rear. Using the diagram Capn Don supplied above, the circuit in the center of that diagram needs to be checked for power to the aux blower.

    Tech questions

    Check the hose + rubber elbow from the PCV to the rear of the intake. That elbow deteriorates with age.

    Front blower motor fuse/relay

    Run a jumper direct from the battery to the blower motor to see if it runs. If should run full speed. If it does, the auto A/C uses a "Blower Control Module" as opposed to the resistor block. The module should be in the plenum just downstream of the blower. What you will see is just the tip of...

    ‘99 Exp 5.4 4X4 no heat?!?!

    Check all the grounds in each kick panel to make sure none were left off. When I did the heater core on my 99, I missed one on the driver side. Realized it when the radio went off and on when I drove the truck. Only other thing that didn't work was the parking brake light, go figure that...

    Door lights?

    Not the hinge, spray it on the LATCH on the backside of the door.

    Confused about front suspension

    What I remember was the 4 x 4's had torsion bars and the 2 wd had coil springs. The 4 x 4 could have air ride or not.

    Evap System Mon

    That Evap System Monitor takes the longest to set. It may take 200 or so miles depending on how you use the truck. It requires numerous drive cycles, it won't run unless the fuel level in the tank is between 1/4 and 3/4, and the ambient temperature has to be within a certain range. PIA.

    Front Drive Shaft Installation

    You said the previous owner replaced the front tires with smaller ones. This could be causing the issue with the A4WD. The front wheels and back wheels are turning at different speeds. This is what causes the A4WD to engage.

    Just picked up my first! A few questions...

    The rear window washer line runs down the passenger side on my 99. There is a splice /joiner behind the passenger side kick panel that came apart twice on mine resulting in a wet floor on the passenger side.

    Questions about Compatibility of putting a 2003 engine into a 1998

    Were the 5.4's coil-on-plug from the beginning? The 4.6's did not get it until 2000.

    1st Gen foglight install/aftermarket

    My 99 XLT did not come with foglamps. I bought the entire kit from Ford which included what appeared to be a complete wiring harness including a relay, and wiring to the switch. Upon installing the foglamps, I discovered the wiring and connectors already present behind the bumper, which plugged...

    3rd row seat question?

    Fold the top of the 3rd seat down. Pull the adjustable strap of the center seatbelt between the cushions toward the rear of the vehicle. Slide the buckle to the end of the strap. Rotate the 3rd seat forward leaving the front “feet” engaged in their attaching points. Toss the long strap over...
