    Automatic Running Boards

    What is involved in installing the OEM automatic running boards onto a 2014 that has static running boards? Is it simply a plug-and-play process, or is there more involved since these can be enabled/disabled via the gauge cluster?

    Front Washer Hose Under Cowl Link Broken

    @99WhiteC5Coupe: Never responded to this, but thank you, even belatedly. Replaced with a junction, no check valve, and restored operation - almost a year later, it's still working beautifully.

    Tires - Any Experience With BFG Trail Terrain?

    Looking at new tires, the 275/55R20 Toyos that came with my 2011 are getting bald. Thinking about BFG Trail Terrains in 275/60R20 - a bit taller, but the same width. Anyone running these tires, any issues? Anyone running this size, any issues? Virtually everything about my Expedition is...

    Front Washer Hose Under Cowl Link Broken

    Did you replace with the proper valve? Is there any benefit to doing so?

    Front Washer Hose Under Cowl Link Broken

    Update, was able to easily fix this. Once I dug in more, and removed the wiper arms and the cowl, I was able to disconnect the hose at other junction points, and was able to snag a cheap hose barb/junction at NAPA, and replace the broken junction/check valve, and my front wipers work perfectly...

    Front Washer Hose Under Cowl Link Broken

    Lost front wipers a couple weeks ago, and am just now getting free time to tear apart/diagnose. The hose from the reservoir to the front washer seems to be broken or disconnected under the cowl. I don't have pictures, but it appears the hose popped apart at a joint, but it doesn't seem...

    Anyone repair their frame or am I boned pt2?

    Just going to chime in with my admittedly not-expert opinion, but that doesn't look like acute "damage" - it looks like rot.

    New Aluminum Radiator Issues - 2011 Limited

    I bought this radiator for my 2011 Expedition: https://www.radiatorexpress.com/product/227790 Model 227790, which now appears to be superseded by model 228897 (https://www.radiatorexpress.com/product/228897) Anyhow, I bought this at the end of May, received early June, and it sat until about...

    Help! 2011 Expedition Locked In Park!

    As I detailed in post #5, I already tested the brake light switch, it's not the brake light switch. I've pulled mine and put it into another Expedition. I put the known good one from that other Expedition into mine, and it didn't resolve anything. It's undoubtedly something else electrical...

    Help! 2011 Expedition Locked In Park!

    PERFECT, this is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you! When the dawn comes, I'll pry this thing open!

    Help! 2011 Expedition Locked In Park!

    No brake lights after reconnecting battery and those connections, but I did validate that I do not have a blown fuse, and I also pulled/tested the brake light switch. I do suspect the electrical interlock, of course, but the immediate culprits aren't presenting themselves.

    Help! 2011 Expedition Locked In Park!

    So, I'm part-way through cooling system maintenance. Replacing: Radiator Upper/Lower Radiator Hoses Thermostat Water Pump I've got the front clip torn off, and had disconnected the battery and the front-of-engine-bay fuse box assembly. Ran into an issue that stops my progress, and I needed...

    Which headlights? Help me choose

    I just replaced my OEM headlights with the same style (no frou-frou fake projector/LED strip nonsense), just aftermarket "crystal clear" instead of the OEM lame fogged/blacked out look. Along with a superior bulb (Philips XtremeVision 9008), and it's a huge improvement.

    Can someone suggest a good walkthrough for removal and replacement of the radiator in a 2011 Limited? Thank you!

    Limited Slip Differential *AND* Traction Control?

    Yeah, as I thought. From the owner's manual:

    Limited Slip Differential *AND* Traction Control?

    I thought you just had to hit the button once to turn it off? That's how it seems on my 2011 Limited. When the icon is not illuminated, TC is on. When it activates, the icon blinks. When it's solid (due to a button press), TC is off, and I can spin the tires on wet pavement. When the icon...

    Limited Slip Differential *AND* Traction Control?

    Can anyone educate me on how this combination would work? My 2011 has traction control, but does not have a limited slip differential. Were any of these beasts sold with both? I'm not super thrilled with how my traction control system works, compared to other vehicles that I own with a...

    Gauge Cluster Theft Light Solid - Battery Drain

    So, I recently detailed my '00 EB to give to my dad, since I upgraded to a '11 Limited. In the past month, the '00 has manifested some kind of power drain that depletes a fully-charged (and brand new) battery over the course of a day or two. Additionally, the theft light, which normally...

    leak.....electrical issues.....

    A competent glass shop should know what they're doing, but make sure you explain what's going on, and make sure they properly clean up any rust/corrosion when they remove the old windshield, and take extra care to properly seal it, especially at the driver side. That said, I think the bigger...

    leak.....electrical issues.....

    Yeah, I wouldn't have thought so, either, but I seem to remember some claims that it could be done without replacing, hence my comment.

    leak.....electrical issues.....

    I had this issue crop up 3-4 years ago. I was able to park my 2000EB under cover, extricate the GEM module/fuse box assembly, and dry it out completely (space heater). After reinstallation (and elimination of the acute issues caused by water short-outs), I was able to get my Expedition to a...

    2000 EB - Theft Light Lit-Up Solid

    Because I'm not an idiot who ignores warning lights? It's an abnormal condition, and I don't like ignoring abnormal issues with my vehicle(s). Given that it reset itself with a battery disconnect, then re-faulted later, something is obviously throwing an error somewhere, and I'd like to...

    TID: $42 CID:$12 ??

    Playing with Torque, seeing if any DTCs were stored due to my Theft light issue that I posted about in another thread. No DTCs, but when I ran the tests, I get this error: TID: $42 CID:12 Max: 32,768 Current: 32,835 "Not OK" The test right above it, TID: $42 CID:$11 reports the exact same...

    2000 EB - Theft Light Lit-Up Solid

    So, I'm in the process of fixing a few issues with my 2000 EB in preparation of gifting it to my parents, and a new issue has cropped up. The "Theft" light/indicator has lit-up solid, and is staying on, even when key-off/engine-off/key-removed. I ran the previous battery dead while replacing...
