    Anyone know how to get remote start, lock/unlock functionality in fordpass with the 2017 Expedition?

    Thanks for this link. Exactly what I needed! So it looks like folks have had varying levels of success. I'll read through the 400+ comments and start putting together my notes. First thing I need to do is figure out how the hell my Expedition is trackable in the fordpass application. According...

    Anyone know how to get remote start, lock/unlock functionality in fordpass with the 2017 Expedition?

    So I found a bunch of information when I googled "fordpass connect modem" and it looks like it is a plug in module and not a board swap. Looks like this may be what I need: DG9T-14F642-BB...

    Anyone know how to get remote start, lock/unlock functionality in fordpass with the 2017 Expedition?

    Ah... but this sounds to me like all hope is not lost. You imply there is a hardware update that I can do here? Do you have links for hardware and instructions that I can use? I'm a computer hardware guy and muck around in laptop and desktop parts all the time. A little modem add-on doesn't...

    Anyone know how to get remote start, lock/unlock functionality in fordpass with the 2017 Expedition?

    Hey Folks. Just wanted to update for anyone who reads this later looking for the same thing. I tried the master reset suggested earlier (thank you) and it did not resolve my issue. In case it was not clear in my OP, my problem is that I DO have Fordpass connectivity but it is missing some...

    TY! I'll try the master reset. Seems worth it for this.

    Anyone know how to get remote start, lock/unlock functionality in fordpass with the 2017 Expedition?

    Okay... So, the upgrade to sync3.4 DOES add back the missing options I need? It definitely was not there with the old version of Sync (2.0). I don't need to do any hardware upgrades? It's all dependent on the Sync version? My truck had Sync 3.0 when I bought it and fordpass had the options for...

    Anyone know how to get remote start, lock/unlock functionality in fordpass with the 2017 Expedition?

    Hey All, I just swapped my 2018 F150 XLT for a 2017 Expedition Ltd. I used to have a 2006 Expedition Ltd, but the engine died on me and I got the truck instead. Could not haul the family around in the truck, so I'm back in the expedition family again. :-) One of the features that I had with...

    Looking to purchase used 2019-2020 expy what to look out for?

    Yep. I'm hearing this from everyone. I'm buying used and will be getting something with enough miles it will definitely be out of factory warranty.

    Looking to purchase used 2019-2020 expy what to look out for?

    Hey Folks. I am coming from a 2006 limited expedition, and looking at the 2019-2021 models right now. My 06 had a very reliable 5.4L Triton and these new ones are coming with only the 3.5L Ecoboost engines now. I've heard horror stories about this engine on this forum and in my FB groups for...

    2006 - Limited Expedition - Ticking sound that speeds up when accelerator is pressed - and lack of power

    Just wanted to tell folks what my problem was eventually diagnosed to be. The dealership broke down the engine as far as they could with removing it. And they diagnosed it as piston slap and recommended a new engine. 8-10 week waiting period and $8-$9k. So I had to let the old girl go. Got a...

    Thinking of getting a 2016-2017 expedition with V6 - how are they compared to the older V8 5.4 Liter models?

    Thanks! That bit is confusing. I'm reading different things on different web sites. All the specs that I get with my google search are saying that the max towing weight for any of them is 6,600lbs. But Edmunds is saying a "properly equipped" model can do 9,200 lbs. Overall the specs seem to be...

    Thinking of getting a 2016-2017 expedition with V6 - how are they compared to the older V8 5.4 Liter models?

    Hey All, I just learned that a ticking noise in my 2006 Expedition Ltd is due to what the dealership is calling "Internal Piston Slap." They took off the valve covers and checked out the rockers and said those looked good to them. After they ruled out everything they could, they determined that...

    2006 - Limited Expedition - Ticking sound that speeds up when accelerator is pressed - and lack of power

    You know what?? That makes sense. I had a low power issue a few years ago. The problem was really manifesting when I was coasting. The car would lose power and I would have to give it gas. It was pretty bad. Took the dealer a long time to figure it out too. They eventually had to replace a...

    2006 - Limited Expedition - Ticking sound that speeds up when accelerator is pressed - and lack of power

    Hey Folks, 2006 Ford Expedition Ltd 156,000 miles 2 wheel drive I have my Expedition scheduled to be seen by the dealer. I'm not going to mess around with this on my own. But I was wondering if any of you might be able to give me ideas what the problem may be so I can be prepared in advance of...

    Can I swap the driver seat with the passenger seat in my 2006 Expedition?

    Bummer.... I was really hoping for a no cost option. But at least there is a cheaper alternative than replacing the entire chair! Thanks for the link.

    Can I swap the driver seat with the passenger seat in my 2006 Expedition?

    Hey All, The driver seat in my 2006 Expedition Ltd. is starting to look a little ragged and it has developed a "dip" where I slide in and sit on a regular basis. And the stitching is starting to pop on the seams of the leather on the door facing side. But the passenger seat is pretty much...

    Drivers side power seat will not move forward or back

    fdoval, I bet when you jump up and down on the seat that you are jolting the motor and moving the accumulated dust around in the motor that I referred to in my last update. When I took my motor apart, and blew the dust out with canned air, it started moving my seat again. My problem is that the...

    Drivers side power seat will not move forward or back

    I agree. I took the motor apart and it was full of rust and dust. Very simple electromagnet type motor and easy to work on. I blew it out with canned air and put it back together and it started moving the seat again. Still only get 2 seconds though before it shuts off. I'm going to order a new...

    Drivers side power seat will not move forward or back

    I've uploaded a picture of the bottom of my seat in case anyone is interested. In this picture, the motor that moves the seat forward and back is at the top in the middle. Not sure if this will work though.

    Drivers side power seat will not move forward or back

    Okay. More information here. Hopefully this helps someone who reads this later! The motor that moves the seat back and forward is a small, black cylinder, and is mounted to a bar under the front middle of the seat. On either side of the motor are two flexible, square "rods" that look a little...

    Drivers side power seat will not move forward or back

    Motor up at the front is definitely the one that does the work. When I unplug that one on the passenger seat, it stops moving forward or backword. The motor on the driver side seat that isn't working gets hot to the touch too after I try using it a couple times. I'm going to try taking it out...

    Drivers side power seat will not move forward or back

    Yeah... I have the seat off now, and see what you mean. There is nothing bent, and nothing in the tracks. I can see the three motors. Two at the sides which I believe are the tilt and raise/lower motors. Then one at the front which is in the middle and has a bar that connects to each track. I...

    Drivers side power seat will not move forward or back

    The motor really isn't all that expensive to buy new. I've seen it listed on several sites now for less then $200. And the dealer tested it yesterday and said it was working - or at least getting power and trying to work. I'm going to take the seat out of the car and see if I can take a closer...

    Drivers side power seat will not move forward or back

    Just got back from picking up my Expedition from the dealer. Here is what the diagnostic write up says: "Performed diagnostics and found that power was going to the Forward/aft seat track motor, however the motor would not run the track. The motor is only available with the track (and vice...
