    Goodbye 2012 EX XLT... Thank y'all for your insight over the years

    118,000 miles. I would have done like you, but per my discussion above for my tow desires (unfortunately for the reasons stated above) now seemed to be the time for me to retire our gem.

    Goodbye 2012 EX XLT... Thank y'all for your insight over the years

    As we've enjoyed this wonderful vehicle since purchased in April of 2013 with 25,554 miles on it, I finally concluded it met our needs so well that I'd drive it into the grave. It's not worth much for resale, despite the fact we keep it in excellent shape. I figured if the engine goes, I'd...

    Triton 5.4L 3V Engine Reliability

    To the OP - I had done some similar survey to the community starting a year ago. Here is the link. I see numerous of the responders to this post were also participating in that one. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/2010-2014-5-4-cam-phaser-parts-et-al-end-of-life.57564/page-2 On...

    How to program a fixed code in the Universal Door opener (on visor)

    Yes, I have the buttons on the sunvisor. Yes, I have programmed rolling code openers successfully using the remotes. That DOES NOT apply to fixed code devices, however.

    How to program a fixed code in the Universal Door opener (on visor)

    I just realized I posted the below in a 4th generation forum (DOH). It belongs here I have a vintage (1980's) Craftsman fixed code garage door opener that still works like a charm. I've decided to try and program my 2012 Expedition to open it. The manual has two sets of instructions - one for...

    2012 EXP EL HVAC front blower no air movement - electrical diagram anyone?

    Sorry to hear that! I understand the blowers/wiring do fail. I was lucky mine was only the relay. Very easy fix and quite inexpensive.

    I think thanks are in order ;). Are you saying that by putting an @ symbol in front of the poster's name, it sends them a notification?

    How to setup HomeLink with LiftMaster garage door opener?

    I have a vintage (1980's) Craftsman fixed code garage door opener that still works like a charm. I've decided to try and program my 2012 Expedition to open it. The manual has two sets of instructions - one for rolling codes (modern openers) and a different set of instructions for the fixed code...

    Towing Boat

    A little late to post, but most certainly impulse hydraulic brakes work in reverse. You have to correctly install them... You must install the solenoid valve in the trailer brake line that energizes to disable the brakes when backing up. "Impulse" brakes use the force of the trailer weight to...

    Brakes Preventing Vehicle from Backing Out of Driveway

    A little late to post, but if this is a trailer with hydraulic brakes, you must install the solenoid valve in the trailer brake line that energizes to disable the brakes when backing up. "pulse" brakes use the force of the trailer weight to press (energize) the master cylinder on the trailer...

    Best tires for 2017 Expedition EL

    With all due respect - going wider DOES give better traction in dry conditions, however in rain, snow and ice you want more narrow tires. Wider tires spread out the load over a wider contact patch, reducing the unit normal force, enabling a higher tendency to slip in winter snow/ice and rain...

    2012 EXP EL HVAC front blower no air movement - electrical diagram anyone?

    This was too easy. As I shared earlier, I couldn't understand why I got ZERO voltage on any of the pins. it made no sense other than a blown fuse or relay. I had not studied the fuse/relay chart enough in the owner's manual enough to realize there were BOTH a FUSE and a RELAY. This became...
