    Power seat issue

    Mine is stripped I think too. Always was far back until the teen started driving and needed to move it around. You can kinda force it as the gear is turning. Maybe get someone in back pushing hard while the motor is going. You do hear the motor right?

    The heater not working but AC is working when switched from the heater to cooling in the 2000 Eddie Bauer Expedition 4x6

    Is the heat in back ok? EB has 2 sets of controls right? Heater core or blend door both are dash off jobs. Replace them both at the same time. Removing the dash is tedious but not super hard for your car.

    2001 Eddie Bauer constantly blowing hot air

    No temp control comes down to the blend door / blend door actuator. Depending on your model you may also have 2 blend circuits up front if there are left right controls. Probably not on a 2001 I guess. Just one in front and one in back. If it’s just the actuator, you can fix it without...

    looking for heater hose diagram

    99% It’s either the heater return hose behind the water pump or the upper intake manifold which is plastic and a common fail point. Check the valley on top of your engine for a pool of coolant. Edit: oops I just saw you got the manifold off. I would replace the manifold and the heater return...

    1999 Expy 5.4L v8 throwing multiple codes, help please!!

    Motorcraft plugs only for 1st Gen Expedition. I’ve used the off brand coils though without any troubles. Also, check for coolant back there. The upper intake manifolds are known to crack and leak coolant down on the coils and plugs. This seems to happen to me every 10 or 12 years between the...

    99 5.4L Trouble in the rain

    https://youtu.be/ldvmWtdGFEM Google GEM module but check your alternator too. GEM is behind the fuse block in the dash. They are super notorious for getting wet from windshield leaks. Water runs down from the rusty spots under the windshield seal on top of the roofline.

    Steering feels like its in 4x4 mode

    Just crank you wheel all the way to one side and drive some tight circles in the parking lot. You will be able to tell right away if it’s in 4x4 if it’s lurching and binding.

    Should it Stay or Should it Go Now?

    Shocks and tires and steering and run it for a while is my vote. Especially if it’s running good. You can do most of that and do a nicer job by being meticulous. Most mechs hate working on Fords for some reason. Personally, I like it and there is tons of good internet help.

    2001 Expy Windshield

    The notorious rust area is under the seal on top of the glass. I just assumed they need to cut out the pillars too to fix it. Maybe you can cut just up to the pillars and weld it back I don’t really know. I’m super curious what you find there tho! Poke the blade of a pocket knife under the top...

    99 EB, 5.4 heater box

    Don’t need to pull the dash anymore if you did the blend door and heater core. Start with the defrost actuator. Thread 'AC stuck on defrost' https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/ac-stuck-on-defrost.39532/ It sounds to me like you need to invest in ALLDATA.com. If you plan to spend a bunch...

    Can anyone help name these parts 97 EB 5.4.

    There’s a blend door (inside the plenum box) and a blend door actuator (under the box). Both parts are cheap at your favorite parts store from doorman. The door has an improved metal band to hold the fragile parts together. Best to start with the actuator underneath probably unless you’re...

    99 EB, 5.4 heater box

    I think all the other vents are controlled by vacuum lines. Did you maybe disconnect one while you were working on your blend door? I think they are just called registers.

    Starter Motor Average Life Span???

    Still on the original starter here from 2000. My fuel pump went out around 370K. That is one job I didn’t mind handing off at the time. Maybe I would do it myself now.
