    parking brake pedal not fully releasing - pedal assembly?

    Update: So now that weather is good, I could investigate comfortably. AWAR was bang on. The right side parking cable had broken, near the plastic end cap (the piece that clips onto the wheel spindle at the rear brake and holds the housing in place). Replaced the right side parking brake cable...

    parking brake pedal not fully releasing - pedal assembly?

    Thanks for the info AWAR. Here's an update... Convinced it was the pedal assembly, despite not seeing anything wrong with it, but not willing to pay $500CDN for a new one, I pulled one from the junkyard (for $30). It was from a 2008 Expedition and the only difference I could find is mine had a...

    parking brake pedal not fully releasing - pedal assembly?

    Hmm... after reading what I wrote, I guess the opposite is true in that I want as little tension as possible on the cable to fully release the pedal - duh. I have some visible cable sag along the frame, and first cable that runs from the pedal can be easily pulled in the sheath, so I'm pointing...

    parking brake pedal not fully releasing - pedal assembly?

    Hey guys, 2016 Navigator, 130k kms (80kmi) with a parking brake issue. When releasing, the pedal no longer returns all the way back (I have to manually lift it say, with my foot to activate the switch get the parking brake light off and to get the pedal to move the last little bit up). Parking...

    Ice in door jambs

    I haven't seen this before, though I have seen snow and ice in the door jamb and rocker panel area, either from blowing in or coming off boots. I would recommend drying it out then spraying the area with silicone spray. That may help with drainage of water/snow.

    Power Liftgate Troubles

    Just to add to my reply above, the problem came back. But, I found the problem in my case, which was a corroded liftgate switch. See: Power liftgate opens randomly - fixed (2016 Navigator)

    Power liftgate opens randomly - fixed (2016 Navigator)

    In case anyone has this happen to them (may be Navigator-specific), here's the story: vehicle: 2016 Navigator symptoms: - power liftgate would open upon startup and would occasionally open on its own when the vehicle was left unlocked - it would open 80% of the time but eventually was 99+% -...

    what kind of body mount is this (2016 Navigator)

    Hey guys, I have a 2016 Navigator Reserve and I'm trying to track down a leak. The fluid is thin and slippery, almost like coolant. It leaks off the truck at the bolt head on the body mount. But I haven't found a source beyond the mount yet ie. everything above the lowest part of the mount...

    Weathertech or Husky

    Found my pics. Attached for what it's worth. The first is a pic from the front seats aimed toward the back (the 3rd row is folded down). It's with the 2nd row centre console removed, which I usually do in the winter so I can throw snowboards in there without fear of ripping up the leather on...

    Power Liftgate Troubles

    Just wanted to add my experience to this thread as it was the only one that came up that had the same symptoms I had. Background: - 2016 Navigator - power liftgate would not open, but you could hear the latch releasing and then a few seconds later latching again - there was no noise, like any...

    Weathertech or Husky

    I've been meaning to provide an update to this thread but keep forgetting. I eventually went with the Husky and am very happy with them. I have a 2nd row console and the Husky mats have cut lines to fit around it. I have Weathertech's in my car and find the Husky is a lot easier to keep...

    2017 wheel compatability

    I had 17x8.5" aftermarket rims with OEM-sized 265/70 tires on my '05 Exp for the winter. I forget what the offset was but it was close or exactly OEM. My '16 Nav has OEM 22" and the 17" bolt right up with no clearance issues, tire dia. is the same, and the aftermarket Redi-sensor TPMSs also...
