    Mechanical noise from center console

    Okay peeps, my 08 expedition limited runs fine, but I recently turned off the radio and realized I have a constant mechanical whirring noise (sounds like an electric motor that is constantly changing direction). My first thought was that it was the DVD reader in the navigation trying to read the...

    I have an 08 expedition EL limited, it has covers 200,000+ miles and looks great on the outside, all the inside looks fantastic (leather in great shape) but all the chrome trims around the cup holders, gear shift lever, etc look terrible. The chrome has lifted off and left just plain plastic...

    Juddering Brakes

    Guys, I wanted to ask for your opinion, about a year ago my 08 expedition started juddering every time I applied the brakes (it has done more than 200K miles and was on original rotors). I decided to check the pads and rotors and everything was within spec, but the rotors where close to the...

    I have a 2008 expedition with the TPMs system that is a small box mounted on a band in the middle of the wheel. I just purchased a set of 2021 F150 wheels to replace my wheels (they are plastic rims that are chrome plated and the chrome has all come off and looks terrible). The new rims don’t...

    TPMS Receiver location

    Okay Peeps, I have finally fixed my satellite radio and GPS, so I want to fix the random TPMS error messages that I get. I know all the transmitters in the 4 wheels are good (had a local shop scan each one and check the battery level (All >80% battery)) so I assume the problem is with the RF...

    2008 Ford Expedition Rear Audio Control Module (RACM)

    Okay Peeps, My local Ford dealer confirmed that my satelite radio issue is due to the RACM, They applied the new software (TSB 11-3-3) and it got a little bit better, but the radio still fails to find a satellite radio station and reports "Satellite Fault" or "No Signal" most of the time, so I...

    TPMS error message

    My 2008 EL expedition has started giving me a TPMS error message every time it rains or I drive for more than 2 hours. I assumed it was the sensors in the wheels (they are 13 years old) so I had all 4 replaced with new motorcraft units, but I still get the same error message when it rains or...

    Radar detector

    I know this will cause a lot of disagreement, but are there any good test on recent radar detectors? I know the Valentine was considered the absolute best for a long time, but it doesn't seem to have been updated for many years. I was searching on the WEB and most of the reports where just " we...

    Peeling chrome wheels

    My 2008 EL expedition has the stock 20” Ford wheels, I thought they where alloy wheels but I now have all the chrome peeling off, it seems they are actually steel wheels with a plastic chromed trim pressed on. I think it looks awful where the chrome has lifted off, you can see the white plastic...

    tyre pressure sensors

    I apologise if this has been asked before, my expedition has started reporting tire sensor errors when I drive it, I suspect these are the original sensors (so 12 years old!!).
