    2008 stereo upgrade

    I decided I wanted bluetooth and XM, so last weekend I replaced the head unit in my 08. I installed a Pioneer AVH-X3800BHS and a SiriusXM SXV300v1 XM module. I also used a Metra XSVI-5520-NAV wiring harness and a Metra 95-5812 double DIN mounting kit. I also needed a Metra 40-CR10 antenna...

    removing center roof console

    My 08 has a center roof console that has a sunglasses holder and a convex mirror to see the back seat. Does anyone know how to remove this from the ceiling/headliner? I might need to get in that area above the headliner. Thanks!

    Windshield washer not working

    I have a 2008 XLT. Went to use the windshield washer on Saturday and nothing came out of the jets. Filled the reservoir and the rear washer worked, but not the front. Undid the hose at the coupler near the firewall, washer fluid pumps out just fine. When I put an airhose to it, I can hear air...

    More a/c problems

    Hi, I bought my 2008 XLT in May and have slowly been working through some issues with it. My biggest issue now is that my a/c isn't working correctly. The front vents blow warm air most of the time, if I drive long enough it starts to feel a little cooler, but the rear a/c seems to be working...

    Leaky expy

    I bought my '08 XLT in May of this year. Haven't had any appreciable rain until the past week or so when we got some heavy monsoon storms in the Phoenix area. I noticed a small puddle of water on the driver's side floor mat after a couple of storms. I have read that these things are notorious...

    A/C question

    My 08 XLT has the manual temperature control. I have noticed that occasionally the vents on the passenger side of the dash blow cold air and the vents on the driver side blow warm air. Sometimes it corrects itself on its own and other times I turn the A/C off and back on to get it to work right...

    P1299 code

    I apologize for the verbosity here... This morning we had record rainfall in the Phoenix area, roads flooded/closed, freeways closed, but I still had to get to work. I was driving along and traffic came to a stop. We inched along for a couple of miles and I noticed my a/c started blowing warm...

    Aftermarket stereo

    A couple of months back, someone here posted a link for a touch screen double-din aftermarket stereo for Ford trucks. It was designed to look factory stock, and the price was around $600. I can't find that thread to save my life, does anyone else remember it?

    Adjusting the HVAC door actuators?

    I have a problem with my 2008 XLT where the rear air only blows warm. I was reading the workshop manual, and it gives a procedure for self-adjusting the HVAC blend door actuators. I don't have the book in front of me, but it essentially involves disconnecting the HVAC module for at least one...

    Aux climate controls

    My challenge for this week is the auxiliary climate controls (fan and temp) are not working from the rear control panel. They do work just fine from the dashboard control panel. I do not have the automatic climate controls, only the manual system. My first thought is that the rear controls may...

    Interiior lights

    I just bought an '08 XLT last week. The other night we were out in it at night for the first time and when my wife tried to turn on the map light, it didn't work. I played with the dimmer knob and it came on, but so did the other interior lights. The lights work when the door is opened or the...

    Holes in roof

    I just bought a 2008 XLT. I saw on the original window sticker that the vehicle was ordered by the GSA, so it had some kind of government use. When I looked it over prior to buying it, I didn't think to look at the roof. I was standing on the running board wiping the windshield today and noticed...

    TPMS fault

    I just took delivery of a 2008 Expedition XLT. It's in great condition and has been well cared for but has one problem. I get a TPMS fault on the display. I have never owned a vehicle with TPMS before. I checked the tire pressures and they were all above 40 psi. I dropped them down to 38. I'm...

    New guy from the desert

    Hi, my name is Scott and I live in suburban Phoenix. I currently own the Expedition's predecessor, a 1991 Bronco Eddie Bauer edition. I am considering buying an Expedition, so I thought I'd join up and do some research before I make the jump.
