    Recommendations for parts cleaning products?

    Simple Green will clean a lot, as will Zep Industrial Purple. You can buy the Zep at Home Depot.

    '09 Not Starting Because of Security System?

    Have you tried to start it in neutral?

    2015 expedition Blower motor wont shut off. Remote start dont work. Rear wiper dont work. Ive checked fuses an seem to be good.

    Open the lift glass and see if the wiper turns freely. There are old threads here about how to take it apart and lube it if you need to. You'll need a code scan tool to reset the check engine light. The tool will also tell you if you have any other codes.

    2017 EL Limited, water in doors (safe to leave the plugs out?)

    Yes you can leave them out. You can stick a screwdriver up the hole and move it around a bit to move dirt out of the way and let them drain.

    Going crazy

    Have you tried starting it in neutral? Jumping the neutral safety switch?

    rapid clicking at fuse box

    The clicking should be an automatic reset circuit breaker. You should be able to find out which one by feel. Pull it out and tell us what position it was in and what changes in how the vehicle starts or doesn't.

    Windshield washer pump weak

    Plug the line to one nozzle and see if the other sprays better. Then look for leaks. Maybe have a helper run it while you look at all the hoses for leaks.

    Key FOB will do everything but lock

    If you press the 7-8 and the 9-0 on the door at the same time it will lock the doors. Unlocking them with this method is more complicated unless you got the code with your owners manual. This might make your new spare more useful.

    Won't Shift Out Of Park HELP!

    The PRNDL. Or in this case the PRND21. If the P doesn't light up when in Park but the others will light when it's in those positions you may have a problem in the solenoid that lets you shift out of Park. If the P does light up the problem is most likely your brake light switch.

    My 2008 with 237k problem

    My '08 runs okay if you disconnect the battery and then drive without doing a computer re-learning, but gas mileage suffers. Here is general advice on re-learning that I was told for another vehicle and seemed to help. Start the first time after re-connecting battery and let it idle in Park...

    2007 Ford Expedition EL SLT Climate Control Blower Speed Issues

    You could try using a voltmeter to check from the wires going to the resistor to ground, but I suspect you will need a new switch.

    How long did your Battery Last?

    Mine is a private brand from a parts store that was installed when I bought the Expy. It's maybe 5 years old. I traded my '09 Hyundai with 150k and the original battery in it recently.

    Rear wiper motor... not working

    Open the liftglass and see if the wiper moves freely. I'm assuming the wiper is in the glass and the motor is in the liftgate like it is on my '08.

    2009 Expedition Brake lights not working!!

    Do you have a meter? Check the brake light switch and fuse. The switch has two circuits. When mine went bad the brake lights still worked but the shift interlock didn't so I couldn't get it out of Park.

    Front wipers frozen

    Went out yesterday and started my Expy. Hit the wipers after it warmed up to clear water drops. Wipers came up halfway and stopped. Ran my Hyundai instead, but wife would rather ride in the Expy. Today I used a heat gun until I thought better of it and switched to a hair dryer blowing down at...
