    Second Row Middle Console

    Check out the factory console from the 2007-17 Navigator. I bought one of these new (NOS) a while back but never installed it. With the console in place and the 2nd row seats folded down you don't get a flat cargo area and I need that on occasion for hauling, so I held off putting it in. Mine is...

    Aftermarket steps/running boards

    I might be able to help you figure out which power steps or running boards will fit. While I don't have dimensions for the fixed running boards, they should be roughly the same as the power running boards. I do know the power running boards that fit our expeditions are as follows: 81 inches...

    Power Fold mirrors -- how do they work?

    Here's another question for those who have power-fold mirrors. Do they work from the switch even when the ignition is OFF? That is what I'd expect since for decades electric mirrors have always been powered by a circuit that is live even when the ignition is off. I'm not 100% sure, but I think...

    Passenger side mirror freaking out

    For decades electric mirrors were powered so they worked with the ignition on or off. I always expected something like the fold control to operate the same way. The module that controls the mirrors (the Driver Door Module) does indeed have constant power. As I recall in some other Ford models...

    22s on a 2017

    Overall tire diameter is the same for the OEM-spec R18, R20, and R22 tires. The R22's are low-profile and will give you a harsher ride. Ford only put them on trucks equipped with CCD suspension.

    Passenger side mirror freaking out

    As far as I know, yes. Here's a quick question related to the mirrors. For those who have power-fold mirrors, will they fold using the switch when the ignition is OFF? I don't drive our '18 very often, but I seem to recall not being able to get the mirrors to fold/unfold with the switch unless...

    Ride Quality 18" vs 20" w/o CCD

    I tried Eco mode today on a bumpy/bouncy road and didn't notice a difference, but I'll keep trying.

    Massage seats

    Well, as of today our "intermittent" problem with the passenger seat controls is no longer intermittent. I can bring up the screen to adjust lumbar and massage, but buttons on the screen for the passenger seat do not respond -- either for lumbar or massage. This is true no matter how many times...

    Does anyone know how to remove a 2015 dashboard?

    I've heard about blend doors failing on really old models. But, the actuator itself is more typically at fault. Either the internal gears strip or the carbon traces wear out. The older designs had weak gears. To save money, they left out limit switches (which would have made the actuators...

    Does anyone know how to remove a 2015 dashboard?

    Yes, I would disconnect the battery negative cable before proceeding. I haven't done this on an Expedition, but I have pulled a dash to replace a BDA in a Mercury Grand Marquis. The steering column is likely heavy making it even more difficult to get the dash out so it's best to remove the...

    2010 front seat upholstery

    If repairing or replacing the seat *back* be aware it requires special expertise due to the presence of airbags in each front seat. This requires not only special fabric in that area but also special stitching to ensure the airbag can safely deploy in the event of an accident. There's a company...

    Dome light question

    I find the dome light controls on 2018+ to be a bit of a PITA. Every time I turn the truck off all the lights come on. There's no setting I can find to stop this from happening. If I'm parked and staying in the truck while someone else goes into the store, etc. I have to push the button to...

    Massage seats

    Looking forward to getting this TSB number. Our 2018 Platinum has similar symptoms. I can press the lumbar button on the side of the driver's seat to access the screen, but the passenger controls won't respond to touch. After an ignition cycle, the controls start responding again. This is an...

    Electronic parking brake engaging on its own

    I've noticed our 2018 Platinum parking brake seems to come on by itself as well but I never paid attention to exactly what the conditions were at the time. It always goes off as soon as I put the truck in gear and start applying throttle. It's never become an annoyance.

    Noise in console or lower dash

    Very likely the Blend Door Actuator (BDA). Do you have manual HVAC or dual-zone electronic control? If it's manual, you're in luck because the fix is easy. Start by changing the position of the temperature dial to see if the noise goes away. On my 2009 EL XLT, if I put the dial to full cold I'd...

    Ride Quality 18" vs 20" w/o CCD

    I did not know that. Will have to give it a try. Thanks very much!!! :D

    Ride Quality 18" vs 20" w/o CCD

    There is no CCD "Comfort" mode for 2018+ -- "Normal" is the softest setting. I wish Ford would allow a software upgrade to get "Comfort" mode back! Tire sizes and model selection can make a BIG difference. In addition, I've found EL models have a slightly smoother ride due to the longer...

    Ride Quality 18" vs 20" w/o CCD

    All the R18 tires I've seen are specified to be 35 psi cold. 39 should make the ride a bit more harsh. We've owned three Expy's -- two XLT's and one Platinum -- and I've test driven dozens more. My first XLT had 17-inch wheels. I got an extra set of 18's and ran Summer tires on those and...

    Factory 18" wheels and Blizzacks for my Platinum

    All the R18 tires I've seen recommend 35 psi cold.

    Ride Quality 18" vs 20" w/o CCD

    18-inch wheels will allow for greater sidewall height. Depending on the tires selected, ride smoothness should improve. The overall tire diameter is the same for 18-, 20-, and 22-inch wheels.

    Does anyone know how to remove a 2015 dashboard?

    It's from my 2009 Factory Service Manual. It's several pages worth of material, so not very practical to scan. It also doesn't provide a lot of step-by-step illustrations. There are some diagrams, but not really that thorough. I recommend going to AllDataDIY.com and getting a subscription. You...

    Does anyone know how to remove a 2015 dashboard?

    I'm still wondering when a lawyer is going to initiate a class-action suit against Ford for designing Blend Door Actuators (BDA) that require removal of the entire dash -- often at a cost of $1000 or more -- even when they are known to fail quite frequently. AND, even when they redesign/upgrade...

    Does anyone know how to remove a 2015 dashboard?

    I haven't seen any videos on the Expedition, but here's one for the driver's side actuator on the F-150 where he does it without removing the entire dash:

    Does anyone know how to remove a 2015 dashboard?

    I only have instructions for 2007-14 but 2015-17 should be very similar: Move adjustable pedals (if present) to the full forward position. Remove floor console. Remove steering wheel. Remove right instrument panel insulator (disconnect lamp). Remove LH and RH lower cowl trim panels: Remove...

    2010 front seat upholstery

    Yeah, I figured out in principle how to do it, but it was/is beyond what I can manage right now. Hooking up the new Driver Seat Module (DSM) and new Dual Climate Seat Module (DCSM) seems pretty straightforward. That *might* get you a working memory option. But, since the seat climate controls...
