2018 expedition wheel bearing noise/blinker issue
For the blinker issue. I would assume 2018 vehicles to be LED lights. that means they are direct current circuits only. Older style lights can backflow current through the system but LED's cannot, as they usually contain a voltage limiting, blocking diode (zener). This is to prevent spike...- Andrew McDowell

Techs? Possible link between A/C and ignition coils??
Cylinder #1 on the 5.4L is on the Right Bank (passengers side). The AC system components are situated across the passengers fender inner liner. If I remember correctly the pressure sensor switch for the high side AC line is located, in that general area. You probably moved the connection...- Andrew McDowell

03 misfire
The tell tell sign to me is engine misfire on cylinder # 3 (Passengers side, next to the last cylinder). I had the same issue... it was the classic 5.4L timing chain tensioner gasket blow out, which caused low oil pressure on the passengers side cylinder head... and therefore damage to the...- Andrew McDowell

Computer Issue
One of the items in your list of warnings is "power steering assist", being that your power steering is electric and not hydraulic, therefore, it makes sense that the tech faulted the electric steering rack.- Andrew McDowell

Randomly going into limp mode (wrench symbol) and no codes
The focus points for me: 1) You are experiencing failure without codes being set "Never throws any codes" 2) The failure occurs during vehicle movement or non movement "at idle" (so that would remove power train as suspect) 3) The condition is reset by turning off the ignition switch and...- Andrew McDowell

Intermittent misfire
Your codes P0301 and P2270 are caused by the non functioning coils P0351,0354 on cylinders 1 and 4... maybe bad coils, but also could be wire harness issues.... a NOID light would confirm a harness failure. you can make your own Emergency NOID light using an LED 194 bulb and socket or wire and...- Andrew McDowell

vibration at 50 mphs
Shaking can be caused by many things other than tire balance, such as worn steering components, and worn brake components such as rotors. You failed to mention if the balance took care of your issue. If it didn't take you vehicle to an ASE certified mechanic and have that person evaluate your...- Andrew McDowell

Help with Driver seat trim
I have the same issue with a 2006 Navigator. The observation was people exiting the rear often toe kick the front seat shield and break off the rear attachment support post (plastic). The seat shield can be had for about 34US plus shipping. Or... one could get creative knowing what causes the...- Andrew McDowell

How many miles on your 2nd Gen Ford Expedition?
Service mechanics for fleets have stated the 5.4 can easily reach 350 to 400 k miles before requiring a full tear down. That said, one should expect to service timing components and oil pump, inspect the cams and liters for wear, every 90k to 100k miles. Further, one should inspect plugs on a...- Andrew McDowell

DVD Removal
Finally got the DVD to eject from my Navigator, by letting down the screen, starting the movie, then bumping the bottom of the DVD player with my fist (closest to my pinky finger) while selecting eject.... the stuck disk was a DVD RW.... original DVDs were tested afterward and inserted and...- Andrew McDowell
