    2007 Radio knob needed

    Hi, I have a 07 with the factory radio+nav (touchscreen). The radio know broke @ the stem from fatigue, and I was surprised to learn that Ford no longer supplies radio knobs! They suggested I get a rebuilt unit. Does anyone know if there another source I can contact for a replacement...

    Towing, tow package?

    5 hrs to install may be flat rate, but it's actually an easy install if you are mechanically inclined. Biggest issue is the bottom radiator hose with Ford's odd twist connector. Also be careful not to cross thread the transmission cooler lines. I did 3 in my old Expy before we discovered the...

    HID Power from fusebox

    Found that all the large (square) relays in the fuse box in the engine compartment are powered. Add a fuse and a power out wire and it's good to go.

    HID Power from fusebox

    Hi, Am installing HID bulbs in my 2007, and they require a always on 12V connection for a relay. Would like to take power from the engine compartment fuse box. Can anyone suggest best location? Ideally, would like to use a connection that is separate from existing fuses. (an existing...

    Killed my cig lighter - help!

    Hi, Was adding a USB port to my expy, when I touched the wired to the cig lighter, and heard a pop and saw a spark. Put in a new fuse, but it did not come back. What else can I check to get power back to it? Fortunately, nothing else seems to be affected. I should have disconnected the...

    What is temp range for transmission fluid?

    Hi, Have a '07 Expy and have added a OBD bluetooth transmitter mated to the torque app on a tablet. One of the available features for the app is transmission fluid temperature. Since I lost our old expy to transmission failure, It's important to me to not exceed the operating range of...

    2007 Expedition trailer wiring

    Reverse light color is brown. See my thread on this issue here: http://www.expeditionforum.com/f45/replacement-contacts-rear-loom-connector-29460/ Note that if you go the clean route like I did, you may have to drill out the holes for the orange and brown wires on the Ford plug. It's easy...

    Replacement contacts for rear loom connector

    D-U-N Done! new wires going through the factory connector, through the loom, to the 2015 Expy hitch and 4 + 7 pin connectors. All circuits tested and perfect on the first pass. Installation is a true no excuses setup, and the next owner and shop may never know it did not come from the factory...

    Replacement contacts for rear loom connector

    Got them! The connectors are weather pak, and pull out if you put firm pressure on them The other sized connectors are different mounting, so will not respond the same way.

    Replacement contacts for rear loom connector

    OK, got the connector from a great junkyard Saturday. Astro Auto Wrecking in Long Beach, CA had a 2015 that was hit hard in the front and I got the connector from an earlier Navi that was next to it. Anyone actually disassemble one of these things? I got the rear hitch and rear wire loom, as...

    LED bulbs for 07 Expy Gauges?

    Hi, Was noticing that the lights in the instrument panel(IP) were a little dim, and am thinking about replacing w/LED bulbs. I saw that accessing the IP on a F150 was pretty easy, and looking @ the expy dash, it appears to be the same engineering. Has anyone done this update, what kind...

    Replacement contacts for rear loom connector

    No joy @ the dealer Hi, I'm adding two more wires for backup and battery charge for my 7 pole trailer hitch. To do this, I have to continue two wires that go into the rear loom at the connector for the loom that reaches to the hitch. I've identified the wires and that they go into the...

    Replacement contacts for rear loom connector

    Thanks, I was afraid that that would be the case. Have been going to an independent shop, but he was in the clueless column. Capistrano Ford is about 5 miles from my home, going to stop by there and see if they have their head on straight. I worked in GM and VW dealers growing up in...

    Replacement contacts for rear loom connector

    Hi, I'm upgrading my expy from a 4 wire to a 7 wire trailer tow connector. Two wires need to be added to the male side of connector C139 (as seen on page 150-8 of the 'Wiring Diagrams 2007 Expedition, Navigator' reference. Inside the connector, the male connectors are little flat blades, and...
