    Tow/haul location on 99 Expedition

    I have owned multiple expeditions from 1995 to my current 2012 model, none of the models prior to 08 had a tow/haul button, you just have to turn overdrive off when towing..

    Rear glass replacement

    I don’t see how you can adjust the glass and those hinges don’t look like they could be bent, are you sure it’s the correct glass for your model of expedition? Window heights/sizes have changed over the years, I think you have the wrong glass.. sorry.

You...

    SJB (Smart Junction Box) modification - separate turn signal bulbs

    when I lived in France with my expedition (back in 2000 to 2005), I had to modify it to have separate yellow turn signals, it actually required me to run one additional wire from the steering column to the rear brake lights. the brake light switch and the indicator wiring all meets at the turn...

    Remote Start after starting

    You are sure you are not touching the brake pedal whilst getting into the car? The minute the brake pedal is touched the engine will stop.

    Which wire is the rear turn signal wire?

    On the rear brake light bulb, the one that you changed to LED, there will be 3 wires, one is a ground wire, the second is a tail light wire and the third is the brake/indicator wire. I don’t know the color of those 3 wires, but you have to connect the supplied resistor between the ground wire...

    Mechanical noise from center console

    Okay peeps, my 08 expedition limited runs fine, but I recently turned off the radio and realized I have a constant mechanical whirring noise (sounds like an electric motor that is constantly changing direction). My first thought was that it was the DVD reader in the navigation trying to read the...

    2008 Front Brakes

    When I changed mine, the steel pin pressed out (very easily) then I was able to remove the rubber boot. Install was the reverse, installed the new rubber part and then pressed the steel tube (by hand) in, and that was it. My rubber boot had all dried up and started crackin, so I just replaced it...

    2007 Limited steering wheel replacement

    I am the same, trouble is that all the steering wheels I find on eBay are either cheap covers (which I don’t want) or they are original steering wheels that are in as bad or worse condition than mine.. I have been trying to find a place that can remove the split leather sections and put new...

    Fuel pump on a 2008 EL

    Stating the obvious, but you have replaced the inline fuel filter first. If it’s the original it could be getting blocked, it’s very easy to change as it is outside of the gas tank (it’s located underneath the car, about where the drivers seat is). You need quick release pliers to undo the...

    Satellite radio antenna for 2008

    That’s how I had to do it! replaced the antenna first (but I thought it would be okay as the ford navigation worked), when nothing changed I got a used tuner box of eBay and after I changed that it all worked perfectly. This forum was great, I had thought the satellite antenna connected directly...

    Satellite radio antenna for 2008

    On my 08 it was the box that failed not the antenna!! Got a new box from eBay and all was good.. there isn’t much to fail in the antenna, so it’s unlikely to fail!!

    Replacement internal chrome trim

    I have an 08 expedition EL limited, it has covers 200,000+ miles and looks great on the outside, all the inside looks fantastic (leather in great shape) but all the chrome trims around the cup holders, gear shift lever, etc look terrible. The chrome has lifted off and left just plain plastic...

    2017 Exp - power running board only retracts when engine running

    Mine started doing the same thing (08 model), I suspect the drivers side gets far more use than the passenger side. I tried foot assistance for a while, but in the end I decide the brushes in the electric motor must be worn as they would not close reliably. Got a new motor of eBay for $60...

    Complete change of engine on Expedition 2017

    The biggest issue is if the coolant mixed with the engine oil, the oil lubricates the turbos, so if the turbos have been seeing a mixture of oil and water, it could have done serious damage to the turbo bearings. So the simple answer is yes, this failure could have seriously damaged the turbos...

    Prolonged un-driven Expy concerns!

    I personally would just flush all the fluids, (brake fluid, engine oil, coolant) and do a visual inspection of the rubber hoses for cracking), I would also try to add fresh gas to the tank as the gas will have gone bad in that time.. then try and start it and do a couple of gentle small drives...

    Can Someone Identify This Cable

    Looks to have too many wires for a brake controller, and neither of the plugs match any brake controller plug that I have seen!!

    2000 expedition - rear wiper not working SOLVED

    I would start by looking at where the wires cross from the roof into the rear door, those wires get flexed every time you open the tail gate, so if a wire is going to fail, I would suspect that would be a prime location!! Do you have a voltmeter you can use at the wiper motor to find out if you...

    Battery charge and recommendation

    I bought my battery 4 years ago (die hard gold) with a 5 year warranty, it just died, despite having a year to go, the warranty paid $32 (on a $200 battery!!). The autozone guy said they no longer offer the 5 year warranty as most of the batteries fail before 5 years!! I got a new one with the...

    Real world MPG results

    I have an 08 expedition EL limited, it had covered about 160,000 miles and was averaging around 9 to 10 mpg, I thought it was normal, but I then towed a small enclosed trailer for about 800 miles at fairly high speed (85mph) and the engine really had to work to hold the speed (I just set cruise...

    Trailer Brake Problem, I'm out of ideas

    I suspect you need someone with a more modern expedition. Mine is an 08 and only has 4 wires (but it’s an aftermarket controller, I don‘t think ford offered factory controllers back then). my guess is that the 2 large wires (yellow and blue) are the main 12volts in and the trailer brake wire...
