    Is there a way to keep the interior lights off while the doors are open?

    I have an 07 XLT and there is a rolling dimmer switch next to the headlight switch or if I recall correctly you can change the setting on the dash by scrolling through the options of mileage, mpg, etc and find the one that has more settings such as reset oil life, auto dim, auto lock, display...

    Would it be possible to snap a photo of your fix? It would be greatly appreciated from all.

    Misfire issues

    Check your ignition coil harness plug connections. I had a loose/unplugged one and wouldn't accelerate properly while giving shuddering. Check plug condition. Time to replace? Can you trust the shop you bring it too? Maybe they have a few screws loose and left some of yours loose intentionally...

    5.4 shuddering

    Check the basics first such as ignition coil harness connections and boots. I had a loose/unplugged connection and gave shuddering without codes. I've read someone having a cracked coil boot grounding the spark and not igniting properly. Next I'd suggest checking the spark plugs themselves. Time...

    Rear liftgate release 2011 Expedition (not the glass)

    I had a similar problem on my 07 XLT, basic pull handle lift gate not working. Me being a cheap bast*rd not wanting to spending OEM price on a new handle assembly because I knew it was electrical I removed the handle to inspect it for electronics and lone behold there is a microswitch the handle...

    Who has the Most Miles 2007 EL Expedition

    Our trailer weighs about 6500lb loaded and have had it several years. Things that went awry when hauling: A spark plug went bad with intermittent misfiring. A Prestone engine backflush coupler melted off, luckily I was able to limp to a hardware store and put a brass coupler on and back on the...

    Lifespan of 3rd Gen front struts?

    Like all parts, they don't last forever. Everyone's driving habits also affect the lifespan. My 07, has 306k miles and still has the originals and rides fine. I also like to partake in light off-roading besides the usual pot hole suspension eaters.

    2011 XLT. What is the correct coil pack?

    Based on my experience I can only recommend Accel as I'm only on my second set of coils with my entire ownership of this car. The coils I have in there now are made by ECCPP and I don't know their reliability. I got them off Ebay years ago for cheap as a backup set.

    Rough idle after new coil packs & plugs

    Make sure you connected the coils back to the harness fully. I recently did my 07 XLT and it was giving constant shuddering. After looking VERY VERY closely, I saw I missed one coil plug back onto the harness. Problem solved. Sometimes its the smallest things that make the biggest difference...

    2011 XLT. What is the correct coil pack?

    I'm your average 6' person and I can easily reach #1,2,4,5 easily, #3 & #6 are just a stretch while still standing, only for #4 & #8 do I require a stool to lay over the edge. I replaced all coils, plugs and #8 pigtail without removing anything. Now that I think about it, perhaps I'm biased as I...

    2011 XLT. What is the correct coil pack?

    No mechanical inclination required for this job as there are no moving parts. Proper tools, yes. Work space is just standing next to car, or lying on car to get to #4 and #8. Patience only required when something breaks.

    2011 XLT. What is the correct coil pack?

    Don't make it overly complicated. You CAN do it yourself, just be sure to have a broken spark plug remover tool just in case. I bought one, but never used it yet. It pays off to apply anti-seize compound to the plug threads. Coils can go 10+ years without issue. My last set, Accel, off Amazon...

    Which aftermarket stereo I should buy for my 2007 Expedition XLT EL?

    Does the height of this block the hazard light button?

    best performance mods?

    Can someone give some examples of manufacturers who make any full cat delete exhaust or the rear cat delete system? I want to open up this beyotch and let it rip. During summer I'm towing 6600lb trailer up mountains at 3k-4k rpm going 50-55mph. Not racing uphill, just slow and steady as to not...

    5.4l Overheating Problem

    Always start with the cheapest parts. Always remember that its the smallest of things that make the biggest difference. And if you have the Prestone radiator backflush kit installed, that is a choke point in the flow. Mine literally melted this year towing our travel trailer up a hill. Luckily...

    2008 Fan clutch to electric fan conversion

    I'm looking into doing electric fan conversion too. I think the Flex-a-lite 270 for the f150 might fit, but $575-$600. Carid indicates a guaranteed fitment for the UAC (FA50070C) $185. I know flex a lite is probably more reliable quality, but that price tag.

    2017 Ford Expedition XLT Tow / Haul Button

    Your drivetrain and PCM is most definitely different than mine. Mine is equipped w/ the 6R75 transmission, 6 speed. I watch the RPMs when the tow mode is on or off and throwing in my observations.

    2017 Ford Expedition XLT Tow / Haul Button

    On my 07 XLT, its one push. Just FYI, that mode cuts off gears higher than 4th. I only use it on hills. When flat i turn it off.

    2007 Expedition Radiator. Don't know how to pick replacement radiator. Help please!

    Sounds like you have a tow package. Measure the thickness of the core as there is a difference. 7/8" vs 1-1/4" thick. If you tow with the 7/8" you'll blow it like I did. I originally had the 1-1/4" and didn't realize I put the smaller one in. Had to replace it again with the 1-1/4" and now I...

    2007 radiator replacement

    *shaking head* Replacing your radiator is not terribly difficult. I can do it with only a few sockets, screwdrivers, and pliers. I've done it 3x now. Remove intake pipe. Unbolt and move fuse box to the rear with bungee. Remove headlights to access transmission and power steering cooling lines...

    Clock spring or switch block?

    I recently just replaced my clock spring as the horn stopped working, then the airbag light came on. Took 15-30 min to do. They are both cheap parts on Rock Auto. I'm sure a continuity test can be performed on the switch but not the clock spring. But I'm an idiot and no professional.

    Ignition coil connector wiring

    I replaced the pig tail on #2 cylinder not paying attention to which wire from the harness went to which side of the original connector. Does it matter if the wires got switched on the pigtail? The car runs fine after the fact. Just ordered an OBD scanner with live feed and such so I can clear...

    How do you test the ignition coils?

    I bought the Accel brand coils June 2012 off Amazon for ~$200 ($25 each). Its now July 2024. I've replaced #8 at some unrecorded date. At the time I didn't know much about the car nor functionality. I definitely overpaid for the Accel coils. It sold me on the yellow color and it stating heavy...
