    2018 Limited showing P0012 code at 51k miles

    I figured I'd update.Took a few extra days to get the truck back due to a dealership covid-related staffing issue, but its all fixed. The provided loaner made the delay really not a big deal. They swapped the solenoid that was the source of the code and did the phaser replacement TSB. All is...

    Making a Sync screen theme change permanent with Lincoln theme?

    I finally got around to updating my Sync 3.0 to 3.4 using CynLabs. Totally painless. One thing I tinkered with after the update was the APIM Test Settings and looking at the different themes. While I wish it showed the Ford logo, I really like the the look of the Lincoln Black Label sync theme...

    How can I get the 2/20 map update?

    My parents cars both somehow did an OTA map update, which i had no idea was a thing. I was hoping there was some way to force it onto mine. i guess I’ll have to wait until September and see what becomes available. I’ve read a bit about the CynLabs thing, but saw people claiming the SXM icons...

    How can I get the 2/20 map update?

    I updated the maps in my 2018 Limited and got the 1/19 version which supposedly is the latest. While visiting my parents recently, I noticed both their cars had a new road visible that mine didn’t. They are both running 2/20 maps and both said the update downloaded over WiFi from the home...

    2018 Limited showing P0012 code at 51k miles

    So apparently email reply notifications are not working. Dealer diagnosed it as the VVT Solenoid needing to be replaced. As a bonus, they are doing that replacement along with the TSB repairs for the cold start rattle. I dropped it off today and picked up a loaner 2020 Expedition for a week.

    2018 Limited showing P0012 code at 51k miles

    Been seeing an intermittent check engine light while on vacation this week. Finally home this evening and was able to read the code as “P0012 Camshaft Position “A” - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1)” I did some searching and see a wide variety of posts about this code in older expeditions, but not...

    Issues with Sync software update not loading over wifi

    Yes. I have tried it several times. It connects easily, tells me there are not updates, and makes the 'last checked' date and time current each time. I just copied the files to USB for my next long-ish drive. I guess we'll do it like the map update :)

    Issues with Sync software update not loading over wifi

    Ford's web site shows me there is a software update for my Sync3 system (currently running 3.0.19205 and it is telling me 3.0.20204 is available). It offers me the USB option or the over the air option via wifi. My Expedition has my home wifi configured and there is a wifi access point in my...

    Replace AC Outlet on Rear Side of Console

    I need to replace the outlet on the rear side of the console. It works, but the outlet itself seems to be worn out as its loose and nothing will stay plugged in unless I hold it. I bought the truck used and just noticed the issue. I identified and ordered the new plug for just over $20, so at...

    Did you get your bearing noise resolved also?

    Creaking in door panel plastic

    I found a thread in this from long ago, tried all the fixes suggested and none worked. The driver and passenger door panels on my 2018 Limited creak when I or a passenger lean a leg against them. It’s terribly annoying. Previous threads suggested it’s the faux wood area rubbing against the...

    DIY Oil Change

    Pardon my ignorance here, but at 22k miles, you have had 5 oil changes? The Intelligent Oil Life Monitor (OILM) doesn't alert for an oil change in my truck until the 9,500 to 10,000 mile interval. The dealer told me it was not necessary to do oil changes until the IOLM said so, and this is...

    Is there a way to fix this without replacing the whole part?

    So it definitely looks like the outer shell has been torn from the long snap in channel. Honestly, if glue or tape will hold it, I’m good with that. Just gotta find the right product.

    Is there a way to fix this without replacing the whole part?

    I found a photo of the back on an eBay listing for a used part... it looks more like a rail than a clip. Not sure how I would re-attach it seeing this.

    Is there a way to fix this without replacing the whole part?

    Is there a way to fix this without replacing the whole bumper cover? Something snagged the wheel well and a small section of the clip area seems to have broken off. I have seen some plastic welding stuff, but never had much luck in actually using it.

    Name that noise... Whirring from front end

    Update... dealership replaced the LF wheel hub assembly under warranty and the noise has gone away. Thank you to all for the input.

    Drivers door hinge area crack in plastic

    Aside from aesthetics, is there any reason to fix this? It appears to be a crack in the plastic covering on the metal bar that actually does the work. (I have no idea the formal name or function of this part.)

    Name that noise... Whirring from front end

    Thanks to all for the input. It is definitely not the IWE since this is a RWD truck so I do not have those parts to go bad. A co-worker is a former (reformed as he puts it) dealership tech and he concurs with the diagnosis of a bad hub bearing. I dropped it off at the dealership this...

    Name that noise... Whirring from front end

    After studying this noise some more. I am convinced it's the wheel bearing. The only way I can affect the noise in motion is with steering input, which leads me to conclude its in the moving parts of the wheel and not on the engine. I was able to record a video that I think may make the noise...

    Name that noise... Whirring from front end

    I am having a bizarre noise from the front end of my Expedition (2018 Limited, 41k miles, purchased a certified used). I would describe it as a whirring type noise. It is not loud and, if the radio is up above 6, I can only hear it because I know its there. It does not seem to be there at low...

    Adding Ford trailer brake controller

    I bought my 2018 as a CPO and one of the things the dealer threw into the deal was installing the OEM brake control. It replaces the useless little pocket and then they had to program it. They had the part in stock and installed it in less than 20 minutes. I was fully prepared to DIY the install...

    Looking for Accessory Power for Dashcam

    I am looking to hardwire a dash cam in my 4th gen. Ideally, I would love to find accessory or delayed accessory power in the overhead console that I could tap. But anywhere behind the glovebox would work too. I'd prefer not to deal with one of those add-a-circuit things if I can avoid it so I...

    Sync Video Sound Not Synced

    I have experienced this on my iPhone as well. Makes watching stuff awful; I just switched back to the speakers on the phone.

    Moonroof cover open and close question

    Is there a way to open/close the moonroof cover all the way without it stopping in the middle and having to press the button a second time? I tried a double tap, a hold, etc. But no matter what, it stops at the midway point until I push the button again.
