    Goodbye 2012 EX XLT... Thank y'all for your insight over the years

    118,000 miles. I would have done like you, but per my discussion above for my tow desires (unfortunately for the reasons stated above) now seemed to be the time for me to retire our gem.

    Goodbye 2012 EX XLT... Thank y'all for your insight over the years

    As we've enjoyed this wonderful vehicle since purchased in April of 2013 with 25,554 miles on it, I finally concluded it met our needs so well that I'd drive it into the grave. It's not worth much for resale, despite the fact we keep it in excellent shape. I figured if the engine goes, I'd...

    Triton 5.4L 3V Engine Reliability

    To the OP - I had done some similar survey to the community starting a year ago. Here is the link. I see numerous of the responders to this post were also participating in that one. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/2010-2014-5-4-cam-phaser-parts-et-al-end-of-life.57564/page-2 On...

    How to program a fixed code in the Universal Door opener (on visor)

    Yes, I have the buttons on the sunvisor. Yes, I have programmed rolling code openers successfully using the remotes. That DOES NOT apply to fixed code devices, however.

    How to program a fixed code in the Universal Door opener (on visor)

    I just realized I posted the below in a 4th generation forum (DOH). It belongs here I have a vintage (1980's) Craftsman fixed code garage door opener that still works like a charm. I've decided to try and program my 2012 Expedition to open it. The manual has two sets of instructions - one for...

    2012 EXP EL HVAC front blower no air movement - electrical diagram anyone?

    Sorry to hear that! I understand the blowers/wiring do fail. I was lucky mine was only the relay. Very easy fix and quite inexpensive.

    I think thanks are in order ;). Are you saying that by putting an @ symbol in front of the poster's name, it sends them a notification?

    How to setup HomeLink with LiftMaster garage door opener?

    I have a vintage (1980's) Craftsman fixed code garage door opener that still works like a charm. I've decided to try and program my 2012 Expedition to open it. The manual has two sets of instructions - one for rolling codes (modern openers) and a different set of instructions for the fixed code...

    Towing Boat

    A little late to post, but most certainly impulse hydraulic brakes work in reverse. You have to correctly install them... You must install the solenoid valve in the trailer brake line that energizes to disable the brakes when backing up. "Impulse" brakes use the force of the trailer weight to...

    Brakes Preventing Vehicle from Backing Out of Driveway

    A little late to post, but if this is a trailer with hydraulic brakes, you must install the solenoid valve in the trailer brake line that energizes to disable the brakes when backing up. "pulse" brakes use the force of the trailer weight to press (energize) the master cylinder on the trailer...

    Best tires for 2017 Expedition EL

    With all due respect - going wider DOES give better traction in dry conditions, however in rain, snow and ice you want more narrow tires. Wider tires spread out the load over a wider contact patch, reducing the unit normal force, enabling a higher tendency to slip in winter snow/ice and rain...

    2012 EXP EL HVAC front blower no air movement - electrical diagram anyone?

    This was too easy. As I shared earlier, I couldn't understand why I got ZERO voltage on any of the pins. it made no sense other than a blown fuse or relay. I had not studied the fuse/relay chart enough in the owner's manual enough to realize there were BOTH a FUSE and a RELAY. This became...

    2012 EXP EL HVAC front blower no air movement - electrical diagram anyone?

    OK - will do. What little I've read about those recalls was for the later models - but I will check. Thanks. What's odd in my case is that I had no voltage on any of the pins of either connector. There should have been 12V on one of the two motor conductors. Yesterday and today I was...

    2012 EXP EL HVAC front blower no air movement - electrical diagram anyone?

    thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is wonderful. I don't feel that guilty because our extended family shares a home in Macon County, NC ;). I'll develop my troubleshooting plan tomorrow and fill everyone in once I've tested. For all of your information, the fan switch on the dash does a...

    2012 EXP EL HVAC front blower no air movement - electrical diagram anyone?

    I've read several posts on this - only 1 mention of similar symptoms - no remedy posted. We've got 115K miles on the OEM blower, resistor and wiring for the front AC zone. The other day it simply stopped blowing any air, in all fan settings. The 40A fuse is fine upon inspection. Inspection...

    2020 Platinum 7 pin wiring pin-out

    Hello. My son-in-law has a 2020 Platinum with the OEM 7 pin and 4 pin connections at the rear. Since my 2012 is getting long in the tooth, for our annual Florida Keys trip we'd like his vehicle to be backup to haul my 23' Parker boat if some mechanical issues come up with mine. I have...

    2010 - 2014 5.4 cam phaser parts et al end of life?

    From what I understand once the issue starts, the symptoms are the valvetrain clatter initially at startup (more or less each cold startup - perhaps 2 - 5 seconds). It's like an onlder car cold start with the simply hydraulic lifter noise. If ignored - eventually the clatter will be present...

    2010 - 2014 5.4 cam phaser parts et al end of life?

    As you likely know, I am the OP on this thread. Like you, I see the more modern cars as so complicated it's nearly impossible to avoid part or software failures. We have a '22 Lincoln Aviator that's had numerous warranty repairs, and I just posted on my son-in-law's '21 (I think) Expedition...

    2010 - 2014 5.4 cam phaser parts et al end of life?

    Not sure how many miles you have on your car - but if alot (like 260K), you may wish to consider an entire remanufactured engine swap. If I had that many miles, likely a reman engine would be my choice.

    Transmission

    As a matter of practice, I change my tranny fluid for vehicles that tow every 100K miles. When I did my 2012, the fluid was still good, but showing color change (I believe indicative of heat from towing).
