    Rear reversing sensors

    ladies & gentlemen, I have a 2008 EL and love it, the reversing camera still works perfectly but the sensors that detect when you are close to an object appear to not be working on the rear right hand side. I have never tried to get access to these, so i thought I would start by asking here. Do...

    Who has the most miles out of a set of spark plugs on a 3 valve 5.4,mines an 07

    mine is an 08 and I changed them at 123K miles and had no issues!! Was very concerned about them possibly breaking (given all the issues others have had, but they came out no issue at all, installed the new ones with some anti-seize copper grease, so hopefully i will still own this truck when it...

    2008 high beams only

    If you are only seeing 8 Volts, I would suspect a corroded wire/connector or bad relay contacts!! Have you tried replacing the hi/low beam relay? Gary

    Oil pressure guauge

    As stated it does not really show oil pressure, it just indicates if there is pressure or not, it doesn”t show how much pressure, the gauge only has 2 positions, 0 or about 70%. If you need or want to know the actual pressure you need to fit an aftermarket gauge..

    Mine will not read the latest Map DVD, I don't know why, the previous versions all work but the latest just gives an error and aborts, I have tried 2 different DVD's and got the same error each time. I tried cleaning the lens (the error message did not say anything about a dirty lens) but it...

    Can FORScan reset oil change indicator??

    Maybe I am being dumb, but on my 2008, the service light is not reset by the odometer button? I have a small panel on the right of the dashboard display (above the stereo), with 3 buttons that are marked INFO, SETUP & Reset. I just push the info button until it gets to the service menu and then...

    Tahoe to Expedition??

    If you are looking for cargo space rather than passenger space, you might want to try and get an EL (Extended length), gives a nice increase in cargo space (with the 3rd row seats down). I had a Tahoe before and much prefer the expedition, it feels and drives more like a car than a truck, the AC...

    Reprogramming fuel tank MPG (miles to empty feature) - Forscan

    I think my car (2008 EL expedition) has a 30 gallon tank and when I fill up I regularly get 28 or 29 gallons in it.. Don't know what the computer thinks the tank holds, as you say maybe that number is wrong, can the tank capacity or the MPG used for the calculation be reprogrammed with the...

    Reprogramming fuel tank MPG (miles to empty feature) - Forscan

    the miles to empty drops linearly as the tank empties and by the time I arrive at empty it is giving something close to 0 miles left so the level gauge is correct, just the conversion factor to convert gallons to miles (MPG) seems to be wrong.. I would love it to just use my actual average MPG...

    Reprogramming fuel tank MPG (miles to empty feature) - Forscan

    Okay peeps, I just invested in an ODB2 USB reader and installed forscan on my computer and it all seems to work. So for my first trick I want to fix a minor naggle that has upsett me for the last 10 years, and I am hoping someone on here can help. My expedition averages something around 14 MPG...

    Ford remote start problem

    Okay just completing this in case anyone else has a similar issue. I replaced all the interior light bulbs with LED lights and when trying to use the remote start, the horn would beep 3 times, indicating a door was open. replacing all LED bulbs with regular bulbs and the remote start worked...

    Brake upgrades...

    could you not take it to a tyre shop or Auto parts shop and ask them to test the brakes for you? They could probably tell you if everything was normal. How old is the brake fluid? If it is more than 4 years old it should be replaced and can cause the brakes to be less effective. Gary

    Need quick help, replacing rear shocks on 2011 Limited 4wd

    Nice impact wrench, all of mine run on compressed air, they work great but you need a big compressor as they really consume air when working!! Gary

    Ford remote start problem

    That problem is usually due to the dash board indicator lights!! If you car has an individual indicator light on the dash panel for left and right indicators everything works great, but if your dashboard has a single incandescent bulb to show the indicators are on, then when you turn on either...

    Ford remote start problem

    I am only guessing at the minute, but usually the door switch grounds the wire to the dome bulbs to make them light up. That means that when the door is closed that wire is floating, the dome bulb is connected between the floating wire and VDD, which if was an incandescent bulb would mean the...

    Ford remote start problem

    Thanks everyone, i used forscan and no error messages are being given. I went back and replaced all dome lights with incandescent bulbs and the remote start now works, so it is definitely due to the LED bulbs!! This weekend I will replace each bulb individually with an LED bulb and try the...

    Ford remote start problem

    Hi Everyone, I have a 2008 Ford expedition EL that I have owned from new. It has a ford remote start that has always worked fine. I recently changed the interior dome light bulbs for LED bulbs (I like the whiter light) and everything seems to work fine, the bulbs come on when the door is opened...

    Blower only works on high

    If replacing the resistor solved the problem for one day and then the problem returned, I would suspect the new resistor has failed (did you get a genuine ford resistor?). When on the high setting, no resistor is present in the supply to the fan motor, that is why it works for you on high, as...

    Car pulling to the right

    Okay peeps, I fitted new tyres to my expedition about 10,000 miles ago, they are rotated every 5000 miles. I just had them rotated and the car now has a slight pull to the right. I took it to my local garage and they checked alignment and adjusted it. I got it back and it still pulls to the...

    Adding functions to driver info display

    I had not heard about the FORScan software before, it sounds very interesting, the thing that has me worried is that you need an adapter cable (USB to OBDB2) and the FORScan WEB site claims that 80% of adapters are clones and dont work properly. They don't seem to list what adapters do work, can...
