I have a scanner and there are no codes related to that. I also hear a relay clicking from my interior fuse box on the passenger side kick panel. I'm not sure if the clicking relay is related to this issue but it's happening more and more now. I have more times were my gauge cluster and radio...
Hey guys. So something strange has been happening since I was forced to drive my vehicle the other day. I started off driving the lights were dim and the voltage Gage was low. I floored it and within 2 seconds of revving the engine fairly High the voltage gauge shot up past the half mark and the...
Hey guys. On top of the alternator and charging issues and having, for the past year I've been having issues with my gauge cluster and radio shutting off and on intermittently and me having to pound on my steering wheel or smack the top of my dashboard above the gauge cluster to turn it back on...
So we tested that and there was no change. Still only getting around 12 volts. The strange thing I can drive it for 15 to 20 minutes and it'll stay around 12 volts. It should be dropping to 9 but it's not. I haven't driven it more than 15 to 20 minutes cuz I'm afraid it will die on me.
It...
Yes I have. And there was no change at all. It was measuring at 12. 4
I'm absolutely baffled. We've checked the wire going to the PCM, I even took this new alternator to a specialty shop that tested it and it works 100% fine. I literally can't think of anything else the diagnosis issue.
The reason why I replace the alternator is because I did the same thing exactly one year ago but was in a pinch so I needed to grab a used alternator from an auto wrecker. For the past 3 to 4 months to check charging system light has been going off and on but for the past two weeks has been on...
Perfect I'm going to test that today the next hour. We didn't do that before we tested it with the wire harness plugged in. A 12.4 voltage and draw from the battery was tested at the battery. The reason why I replace the alternator is because I did the same thing exactly one year ago but was in...
Thanks for the reply as guys.
I purchased a new DB Electrical AFD0128 135 Amp Alternator.
We got a consistent 12.4 to 12.6 volts with it running at 2000 RPM. I'm confused because I've never had a new alternator like this not work. We checked all the fuses and we even check the clip going into...
Hi everyone.
I'm almost at my wit's end with this thing LOL. I just got in a brand new alternator and installed it on my 2003 Ford Expedition with a 5.4. The alternator is not charging the battery and there is a power draw instead of a charge. I checked the fuse numbered 106 for the charging...
Does anyone on here know anything about factory or dealer installed remote start issues? I can't find any information on this topic. I have the key fob that has 4 buttons on it and the remote start button is a blue button on the bottom right of the key fob remote. I've done what I think is the...
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I finally took it to a muffler shop a couple of weeks ago and got my cats tested. Turned out my passenger side cat was completely plugged which made perfect sense. I got them to cut off the cats on both sides and weld pipe in. Now it runs and sounds great.
My mechanic friend who had the scanner and fuel pressure tester did those for me. He checked the fuel pressure for me while I revved the engine and said it was perfect so I don't know. He used to be the head service advisor at Ford so I trust he knows what the fuel pressure should be.
I...
Thanks everyone for the feedback!
Yes there was a transmission issue due to having approx 600-700 mls of the wrong fluid in it as well as 1/3 bottle of the thick Lucas transmission fix, and it was a hair overfilled... Was driving around like that for a month. A week ago I took off the...
Hey guys. I've been having issues with my 03 Expidition. Currently it has had an issue with major power loss and decrease in gas mileage. Tested the fuel pressure and it appears to be solid. I purchased the Expidition back Ju e 2018. I had an issue with the a misfire due to ignition coils 1&2...
Last night while I was driving my 03 Expidition my entire gauge cluster went dark (gauges all dropped to zero and airbag light started to flash ) and my radio stopped working along with my power windows. I don't have a good manual on hand and need to figure this out asap. Does anyone one here...
350,000 kms on it... As you can see from.the pics it did show a coil code so I'm not too sure what I should do. Will it be worth buying if I had to do the gaskets and coils? I can get all of the parts cheap and do the work myself. I've been fixing vehicles for 20+yrs and have done bigger jobs...
Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this forum and wanted to get some advice on a purchase I am about to make. I'm looking at getting an 2003 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4. It has no valve noise. But.. the engine is running terribly and there is a misfire in cylinders 2&3 and a major loss in...
