    Air Bag Light

    Hi Gary, Nice to meet you by the way. A lot of my work is with military stuff and they seem to build almost everything with obsolete electronics since procurement to build times are long. My thoughts here are the key to longevity is using networks that remain forward compatible so we don't have...

    Rear end work ahead - need some parts help

    Hi Vurt777, Like you heard in the reply from Lemoguy, Get genuine ford parts for the struts and control arms. There are other brands out there such as Mevotech which in my opinion are better than Ford, and then you have Moog that makes most of the parts for OEM's, then Dorman, all being made in...

    2026 Tremor is worth it

    Please look for the post "Preserving My 26 Tremor" where I am going to chronolog the life of a new Tremor on the salted roads of the northeast USA. V/r SM

    Preserving My 26 Tremor

    In the northeast the first thing necessary to preserve your new vehicle is to have the bottom undercoated. Ideally the undercarriage should be undercoated as it reaches the dealer and before it is driven at all on salted roads. Not having that option I used a pressure washer, salt removing...

    Air Bag Light

    Hi Gary, I kind of suspected the same but I have found there are some pretty smart people in this forum. The new vehicles are going to be more about the electrical system and the operating system that manages everything that moves including steering. As much as I miss the simplicity of...

    2026 Tremor is worth it

    With the frame coating touched up, I am going to wash, desalt, dry and coat the undercarriage with fluid-film black today. Nature always wins but I am a survivor and plan to fight this battle with the elements. V/r SM

    Air Bag Light

    This was my first post, and it got no replies. I still don't have a fix for this but my best guess is some sort of current issue in the loop where the BCM senses current out of normal range. I will never know since I have traded this truck in for new. V/r SM

    Bilsteins and Alignment, Wow! 2018 Expy

    Attached is an image of where I started. I noticed this after I changed the calipers where one of the front calipers was frozen. More to come.

    2014, Turn key, all relays seem to close, no starter

    Sorry for the late post on this. That issue was with the starter, where there is the hot wire from the solenoid exposed to the elements. The hot wire was rotten (oxidized) and burned. I installed a new starter and closed the case. I have some photos and will have to post them in the next...

    Heated and cooled seats

    Hi Gumbyalso, You were right about the used unit bought on Ebay, it was DOA and pretty upsetting considering the pain it is to install it. After that experience I bought a new one, plugged it into the seat module connector and tested first. I did get a refund on Ebay for the DOA module, so the...

    2026 Tremor is worth it

    Thanks Tom, My 2014 was great but I did have a lot of factory unpainted parts in the undercarriage that rusted rapidly. I fixed most of that by replacing those parts with new powder coated parts and then coating with "Fluid Film". Although that was costly, it was rewarding to know that the...

    2026 Tremor is worth it

    I finally took the plunge and traded in my beloved 2014 Ford Expedition Limited for a 2026 Tremor. My 2014 was the best vehicle that I ever owned since she never let me down. Some people thought I had bought a new vehicle when looking at the gleaming paint just weeks before I traded her in. My...

    Heated and cooled seats

    Hi Gumbyalso, I did get a used fan from Ebay and swapped it out. And as you might think, it's used, but is it good? The fan came on but there was not change in temp on the air blowing out and the circuit shut down within a minute of operation. I might take a chance on new "New" module, but it...

    Heated and cooled seats

    Problem: 2014 Expedition Limited, driver side only, the heat/cool function switch will illuminate for about one minute then go out. I bought the connector and went to change it out but my driver seat has much larger controller with different connectors that have almost twice as many pins. All...

    2014 limited Expy heated seat switch won’t stay lit

    I have a 2014 Limited, Heated/cooled seats, same problem, light goes out on both. Seems like a resistance/heat issue with a connector/terminal. I am going to dig into it. Thanks for the insight so far.

    TSB 24-2188 - 2003-2020 Expedition/Navigator + F-150 - 4WD - Grinding/Clicking/Ratcheting Noise From Front Wheel Area July 23, 2024

    I found that the 4WD actuators at each front wheel fail over time. They are not that big of a deal to replace but you do have to pull the CV axles. They are vacuum operated and they can seize up over time. I replaced mine along with other parts during a front end rebuild.

    Transmission grinding noise gone

    I have a 2014 limited that I bought new. From the very early days of ownership I had this issue of a "chatter" (kind of reminded me of the noise you heard when a pilot bearing on a standard shift car was worn) around 30 mph. In 2015 I brought my Expy to the dealer and had them note my complaint...

    2014, Turn key, all relays seem to close, no starter

    2014 Limited, last night when I started the engine it hesitated on start. Today I go to start: Turn the key, dash indicators normal, I can hear the fuel pump and a series of relays click once but no started motor. I checked all of the fuses visually, swapped the 30 amp starter coil fuse with a...

    Bilsteins and Alignment, Wow! 2018 Expy

    It is good to hear some histories on front end tuning. I have a 2014 Limited (my fifth Expy) and decided to keep this one longer than the others for many reasons. I just went through changing all the brake assemblies and completely replaced or Upgraded the front end parts. I replaced the...

    Air Bag Light

    I have a 2014 4WD Limited with low miles and zero accidents. The air bag light is on and there is no indication of a fault on OBDII software. The airbag light came on after I had the front end aligned. Is there a simple check at the forward sensor with a DMM? My best guess is a wire was pinched...
