    Chrome Bevel on center console

    What about vinyl wrap for the shiny parts? Automotive wraps have come a LONG way in recent years and I bet a skilled vinyl person could apply a solid piece over the console then trim it out to only cover the chrome parts and look pretty good. They even have metallic films that could make it...

    Anyone tried the Bolt brand receiver locks?

    I am looking at getting a Bolt 7023585 receiver lock. They seem to have ok reviews and I like the concept of not adding another key into my life. I am wondering if anyone has used one and, if so, will the Ford side cut model work correctly with the pop out emergency key on the 4th gen Expedition...

    LED License Plate Lights

    Agreed. That was my initial purpose in doing it, and I think if the inside of the little light housings was metallic the light throw would look a lot better. It certainly can be seen, but I just wish it was more uniformly lit. I am retentive like that.

    LED License Plate Lights

    I ordered some Sylvania W5W LED Lights for the license plate and I’m not pleased with the light pattern. They work well, and certainly look better than stock in terms of color temp, but I was hoping for more even lighting across the plate. Has anyone tried these, or anything like them? They...

    Temp Disable Automatic Engine Shutdown?

    Hard to say, but mine is Jan 18 build and, as we saw above, it's definitely not there.

    Auto/stop Jumper

    I don't think it is as simple as a jumper, disabling it requires a computer input. I installed an Autostop Eliminator behind the button. There are other solutions, but having met the owner of this company and seen his dedication to quality, I will support him whenever I can. I have one in my...

    Gasket behind door handle deterioration

    On my 2018 Limited, I’ve noticed that the gasket behind the drivers door handle seems to have deteriorated pretty significantly as compared to the other doors. I’m concerned this would lead to undue wear on the handle as well as water intrusion. Has anyone experienced this? I assume they would...

    anyway to add front camera to an XLT?

    I’m really interested in seeing the 360 cameras added. Even at $2,000 to $2,500 for brand new parts, I’d still do it. It’s the one feature my 18 doesn’t have that I would really like to have.

    Temp Disable Automatic Engine Shutdown?

    Mine is an ‘18 also. I feel better knowing I’m not alone in being unable to find it. Now I wonder, does the engine shut down on its own in ‘18’s and there’s just nothing we can do about it? What is this missing roof trim issue? I’m new to 4th Gen Expeditions.

    Temp Disable Automatic Engine Shutdown?

    That’s where it should be, but it’s not. I also opened all sub menus and it’s not in any of those.

    Temp Disable Automatic Engine Shutdown?

    The manual says I can use the Info screens to temporarily disable the automatic engine shutdown feature on a per start basis. I’m referring to the one that stops the idling engine unless you interact with the vehicle, not the auto start/stop feature. When I loaded a Sync map update the...

    Condensation in CHMSL; warranty?

    Fun you mention failure, I have not actually looked to see if its 100% functional still. I should probably do that.

    Best place to tap an accessory power circuit on the passenger side

    I am looking for a good/easy place to tap a switched circuit, preferably an accessory delay circuit, in or around the front passenger compartment on my 4th gen. I am looking to install a power adapter for a dash camera. The fewer panels I have to pull, the better. Bonus if I don't have to stand...

    Condensation in CHMSL; warranty?

    I am wondering everyone's opinion on whether the dealer will warranty this amount of moisture in the CHMSL (image attached). The part is not super expensive, but I have read mixed reviews on what various dealers/Ford consider to be normal or acceptable levels of condensation in light modules...

    Updating the maps on Sync 3

    I have what is, I am sure, a really dumb question. I just bought a CPO 2018 Limited. I want to update the maps on the Nav as they seem really, really out of date. There is an entire section of my neighborhood, built in 2016, that is missing among a number of other things. In a search, I found...

    Add keypad entry to an 05 Expedition?

    Back in 02, I added a keypad to my 2002 F150 XLT. The wiring harness was already in the door all I had to do was replace the handle and add the keypad. I am wondering if the same mod is possible on an 05 Expedition XLT. I would obviously need the widow sill and keypad but will the harness be in...
