    Bad Battery in 2005 Expedition

    $350 is a good price? I guess you didn't open the above link for a refurbished unit for $150.

    Bad Battery in 2005 Expedition

    Unless you load test the battery, you are just guessing. The problem could be with a faulty starter motor, cables, connections, etc. If the truck is idle for periods of time, connect a maintainer charger (($20 +/-) Make sure you are working with a reliable battery. If you are a Costco...

    Bad Battery in 2005 Expedition

    My experience with batteries has been that they have lasted 8 to 10 years. Most (many) batteries are manufactured by Johnson Controls, or their affiliates, and labeled as directed by the dealers. Criteria for battery failure can be attributed to corrosion, wiring, or loose connections...

    From a search: "The tow/haul mode changes a vehicle's transmission shift patterns. Pulling a heavy load requires a lot of power. The tow/haul mode reduces shift cycles. Depending on the truck, it may also boost torque and engage an engine braking mode to help drivers maintain control while...

    My tank won't take fuel... Help!!!

    Experienced this condition with my wife's 2006 Mustang. Solved the problem with a new canister. This is not an uncommon problem. Some times heat build up in the tank will cause a slow/no fill condition. Some times reversing the fill nozzle (position the trigger on top) will help. Went...

    FROM A GOOGLE SEARCH - MAY HELP (?) "Your Expedition 's engine creates vacuum when running. This vacuum is carefully controlled. If the vacuum system gets a leak, it will cause a shake when idle.

    Doom light.

    Just a wild guess, but I would bet that your roll switch is faulty. There is a UTUBE video showing how to remove dimmer switch, but for some reason, other than my stupidity, I can't share it.

    Doom light.

    Some internet replies have included spraying lubricant on all the switches, doors and dash, related to the interior lights. If you intend to trouble-shoot this problem, you will need a 2003 Expedition Shop Manual (2 volumes) available on CD or print (check eBay), or internet download. The...

    Doom light.

    The switch on the dash (panel dimmer control) will cause your DOME light to be on at all times when it is in the very top position. Locate the switch, and see if it is in the very "top" position.....(rolled to the top).
