    Blower control out of control- any ideas?

    Hi Eric, @Ericcccccc Thanks for sharing the links, I received the replacement resistor today, it has the aluminum extruded heat sink. Amazon says that it fits, but it doesn't fit my 2011. I'll exchange it for the flat plate version. Check out the one in your Expedition before ordering...

    Rear quarter glass sagging

    I'll share images of our 2011 EL. I didn't notice anything about the window alignment before, but I may have trouble sleeping now. The lower edge looks fine, but the upper edge of the windows are no where near parallel to the surrounding body. As far as I know, this vehicle has been in and...

    Total Meltdown - Help! - 2022 Expedition Max Limited

    Hello mdexp. I'll share a story that may or may not be relevant. Upon returning from a week of business travel, I found that I was not able to unlock my vehicle (not a Ford) with the keyfob. There was no sign of anything electrical going on at all. I had locked the physical key inside the...

    Catalytic or cat lock DIY?

    Do you think that they'll notice? The big question is "Will they care?". I suspect that they'll hack up the exhaust either way out of spite. I used VHT Flameproof paint - https://www.vhtpaint.com/high-heat/vht-flameproof-coating It's worth noting that this is what they call "Red". I used a...

    Catalytic or cat lock DIY?

    Hi Eddie, Sounds like a reasonable plan. I'm still waiting to get a date when I'll be able to bring it home and crawl around underneath. I want to see if it would be easier to custom make the whole thing or start adding on extensions. Of course starting with something makes use of the bolt...

    Catalytic or cat lock DIY?

    The adjuster reviewed the situation with the garage - ~$2,600 worth of damage/theft. Looks like I'm going to need to crawl around under there with some sheets of cardboard then start talking to the local water-jet shop. Does anyone have any thoughts on attaching to the frame with riv-nuts and...

    Catalytic or cat lock DIY?

    Got a call from the Pennsylvania State Police yesterday... Our 2011 was at a garage for power steering and state inspection work, had to wait 2 weeks for the rack and a spot in their schedule. By the time that they went to pull it back in the cats were gone. The thieves got them off our...

    Bypass oil filter installation

    Hello, I guess that I am feeling impulsive this morning. I usually let these things go. Welcome Larry! Congrats on the new, to you, Expedition! I recently got mine and am still sorting it out. Sorry that I can't help answer your question, I've got the 5.4 and I don't plan to use it enough...

    Liftgate won't open with outside button, but will open with remote

    I've had my lift-gate apart several times. I don't think that I'd recommend it in cold weather. I had to yank on the plastic panels pretty hard. If the 2014 is similar to my 2011, then this switch should work. I repaired mine, though it was a hassle and I wouldn't do it to save $18. I did it...

    Quick temporary snow traction?

    Hi Boostedbus, I totally hear you about staying out of the ditch. For that I can't do better than CallMelshmael. I'll say that even cable chains on my Nissan Leaf will get me through anything that I can drive over (4 -5"), they make a huge difference! You mentioned your winch, but not having...

    Leather cleaner / preserver

    Hello star-art, I know that this is an old thread, but I'll still thank you for you comments about the coating on our leather seats. I replied to an even older thread with this same question. I'm trying to strike a balance between creating a new thread for everything and reading all existing...

    Out of curiosity.. Leather care

    Does anyone know if Lexol conditioner gets old? I used some from my wife's stash for her saddles. A quart goes a long way, apparently. It could be years old, neither of us remember. When it was cold, it seemed lumpy. I warmed it up and it seemed normal. Though, when I wiped down all of my...

    Opinion on 2012 w/20k miles

    Tonspike, Best of luck on the purchase and your trip! I assume by now it's a moot point, but I'll add my recent (August 2020) purchase of a 2011 as a reference point. XLT, EL, 4wd, NJ, NY, PA, 2 previous owners, 135K, rusted out passenger rocker panel, about the same surface rust on the frame...

    Bilsteins and spring seats...

    Yep, did the lug nuts thing too. Two days after I bought my 2011 it was at the dealership for PA safety inspection and a bunch of catch up maintenance so that I could start with a clean slate; coolant, trans filter, flush, axles, T-case. After the first day, they said that they couldn't get...

    Bilsteins and spring seats...

    T-Bird, Thanks for sharing your progress and especially being specific with the part numbers! Despite the banter (that wastes pages and time), I'm going to file this thread for future reference. BTW, I agree about Bilstein's reputation, I have had good luck with them in the past ('96 Passat)...

    Cigarette Lighter Question

    I'm trying to track down a common cause for all 3 of the accessory outlets in my 2011 EL not working! I think that the wiring diagram likely changed between 2007 2011, but I think it will generally be similar. Does C2031 refer to a relay? Seems possible that a detective relay or yet another...

    Oil Life - What would you do?

    My worst experience with an oil change was a Toyota dealer in Oshkosh, WI changing oil in a Prius. They put the next change sticker on and changed the rear struts for a big bill. We had beat it up pretty hard loaded for a week of camping, towing a trailer (getting 30 mpg, not counting the oil...

    Rear Wiper replacement - driving me crazy

    I think that I used a cheap Harbor Freight puller to get mine off. There really isn't much to pry against. As soon as I was able to pull straight, it popped off. Good luck!

    Rocker panel time, 2011 EL

    Steve, They did a great job! Almost makes me want to find a reason to come to your area for a while. I got mine through PA's state safety inspection, that's going to have to be good enough for me for now. Though, it is really nice to see that it is possible to have it done right! Thanks for...

    Auxiliary CAN BUS Module

    Hi Jimmy, I just started reading on the forums to find confirmation of the Motorcraft oil filter part number and eventually found this lonely thread. I am intrigued and impressed! I don't think that I have every heard of someone adding a new module to their vehicle's HS-CAN bus. I understand...

    2018 42K Miles 3rd set of Phasers

    The video link provided by Carl does have V8 phaser sounds. Thanks Carl! 5W30 next time (Now I need to dig into whether to use full synthetic. I'm sure I'll find plenty to read on that, love these forums! Heading back to the 3rd Gen section now...).

    Rocker Panels

    My Passenger outer rocker looks a bit better now. Patched with galvanized steel that I could bend without a brake (26 ga.). These have been glued and riveted in place. Since these pictures, I have bondo'd over this and painted it black for now. Also, I stripped most of the surface rust...

    Rocker Panels

    Hi MrSticker, Thanks for the reply! Sorry I wasn't clear. Should these holes be covered? - This thread seems to say, "Yes". Is it OK to cover them with aluminum flashing and liquid nails? Additionally, I would love some feedback on my other post (Question about factory rocker panel holes)...
