    Front blower won't run, even after replacement of many parts

    Same deal here. On my second blower motor…also had the melted wiring harness. All under recall.

    Rear Parking Aid Sensor- Retainer Clip?

    Can confirm. When one of my retainer clips broke off, the entire bumper needed to be replaced. I used JB Weld instead, still holding to this day.

    Anyone know how to get remote start, lock/unlock functionality in fordpass with the 2017 Expedition?

    Yup, this was the “Ford Custom Accessories - Remote Access” application. Third party servicer; Voxx International. Worked great, until AT&T decided to deprecate 3G bands and left us in the dust. I got way further into their support team than I expected, to the point where I was offering to use...

    2017 Expedition Center Console Removal

    Ok so the good news is I have torn the console down pretty far. (Not to the point of replacing an airbag module, but pretty far) The bad news is I need to find the research I used. Let me see what I can find.

    100 Octane

    Unleaded, correct. It was the Sunoco 100, sold at a Sinclair station. (We don’t have Sunoco stations here, so they sometimes resell via Sinclair or Chevron in separate tanks). Good catch though.

    100 Octane

    Pulled up to the pump yesterday and happened to land at one that had a separate nozzle for 100 octane “race fuel”. It was $9.99 a gallon. No, that’s not a typo, 10 bucks a gallon. I was at 3/4 full (I always try to keep a full tank, especially these days…) so I put in a quarter tank. Yes, it...

    Well, that explains a lot…. Get a carfax

    This really ticks me off, shows how common this kind of garbage is. Not hard at all. If it’s an analog style, the rest of the car (i.e. the ECM) has no way of knowing what the odometer actually says. You can also rollback the existing odometer without replacing it. There is a special alignment...

    Well, that explains a lot…. Get a carfax

    This. No matter the size, every dealer should provide a CarFax and many do by default. Sometimes you have to ask for one, which is understandable for small shops, as they do cost money. CarFax is the de facto standard, but AutoCheck from Experian is number two on the list. (Yes, the credit...

    Well, that explains a lot…. Get a carfax

    With the price of new vehicles continuing to skyrocket (mostly because of all the technology in them today), easy access to hack tools and parts that age much more gracefully (i.e. plastic versus metal) rollbacks are back with a vengeance. CarFax (and the like) are only as good as the reports...

    Over-rotating Passenger Mirror Fold

    Let me preface this by saying I am a stubborn SOB...I am reluctant to admit defeat and always want to learn how things work out of sheer curiosity. That said, my Expy is my daily driver and occasionally I will get to a point where I have to say "stop". Accessing the power fold motor was one of...

    Best headlight replacement..

    LEDs are tough to get a full beam pattern out of, as they are bidirectional instead of omnidirectional. HIDs do a better job at mimicking omnidirectional light, but then there’s the reflector discussion. I’ve spent way too much time delving into the world of automotive lighting. Below is a...

    Front Plate Bracket…

    Some moron before me put the front license plate bracket on upside down…the tabs for the bottom of the plate are on the top and the idiot created two new screw holes instead of fixing it. The thing looks like it’s riveted on with plastic rivets, so I’m assuming I’d have to drill those out to...

    Over-rotating Passenger Mirror Fold

    Ugh, this is driving me nuts. For a while everything was working fine, both mirrors would fold and unfold properly. Tonight the stupid passenger side started acting up again; same story and behavior as before. Took me about an hour of screwing around with it to get it at least in the out...

    Weathertech or Husky

    WeatherTech…hands down. I’ve had a set in every car/truck I’ve ever owned.

    Power running board issue. Not Stuck, retract early.

    Good to know, let me know how it turns out!

    Power running board issue. Not Stuck, retract early.

    Here's way more information then you probably want. Have you tried a battery pull for 10+ minutes? My boards always need to be re-enabled after a battery pull. - Pull battery for 10+ minutes (even overnight if you like); then reconnect battery.** - Open driver door after reconnecting battery...

    Center Console Armrest Storage Light - Don't Touch It

    A Public Service Announcement If you have an Expy or Navi with the nice courtesy light which sits inside the center arm rest storage bin, unless it's inop, don't touch it. Ever. Leave it be, it's perfect the way it is and to my amazement it's already an LED (at least on my 2016) I on the...

    Aim LED Fog Light (2015-2017)

    Found it! On the back of the housing, there's a black bolt with a "gear" around it (see picture)...throw a socket on there and viola, up/down pitch adjustment. Interestingly enough...I searched through the 80000 page Ford shop manual, not one mention of this. It does provide instructions on...

    Aim LED Fog Light (2015-2017)

    Dumb question….how does one change the vertical pitch of the LED fog lamps? (Or can you even do this?) I looked up and saw what I thought was the bottom of an adjustment wheel; messed around with it for about 20 minutes and stopped because I didn’t want to break anything. My issue is the...

    Chrome Accent on Floor Shifter

    Hey All- Quick question; is it possible to replace the chrome accent on the floor shifter? I have minor scratches and such on mine which is just annoying. It looks like one might be able to pop off just that piece? I didn’t want to go to town with a plastic pry tool and risk breaking a clip...

    Puddle lights falling out

    I ended up using some hot glue on mine. If I ever need to replace them, I figure I can always use some heat (carefully) to loosen the glue or worst case, gently pry and buy a new lens. On my '16 the factory bulbs were halogen; I replaced them with LEDs which are indeed, much brighter.

    EcoBoost Badge Replacement

    The EcoBoost badge on the hatch of my 2016 always bothered me. The blue/green colors and the mismatched font always looked out of place to my eye. The Lincoln style badge (black and silver) was tolerable (see here), but I wanted something different. Leaving the space blank was also an option...

    Over-rotating Passenger Mirror Fold

    Yeah, the one in the owners guide that says unfold/fold until you hear the loud click? Tried a few times, no dice. What’s weird is it’s sporadic. First unfold, it over extends. Refold then unfold, works fine. Another thing I observed.…so let’s say I park, fold the mirrors and turn off the...
