2005 EB expedition

[Rooster1978]

I have a 2005 EB 5.4L 3v the tach nor speedo do not work, have several trouble lights on ( check eng, abs, brake, charging, traction control) as well the info center is reading the following messages. Check suspension, charging system data error, engine temp data error. The 4x4 lights blink and the 4x4 doesn't work either. Also the memory seat and mirrors do not work. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Did you buy it like that or did it slowly started acting up day by day?

It was this way when I bought it a couple weeks ago. Was wondering if this could be a bad ecm. It runs good for the most part except for a small miss

Welcome to the Forum.

Have to codes read and then post them on this thread Knowing what the codes are will help in getting better advice.

Just curious as to why you purchased this vehicle with all of those issues?

Did the previous owner give you any information about the expy that would help us help you?

How many miles on the expy?

130122 miles and I bought it because the price was so low I couldn't pass it up. Going to read codes today and will post as soon as I get them

Figured that was the reason Just maybe by the time your done you may find out that it wasn't a bargin price after all.

When I purchased my 04 it had some problems ABS light was on I thought maybe it was just a bad sensor The sensor was good but the rear wheel bearing was shot the good wheel bearings can cost over $300.00

Hopefully it won't cost half the national debt to fix mine. I have been a mechanic for over 15 yrs so that is gonna save me some money as I can do all my work myself. The price of parts is the killer though. Gonna buy what I can at my local junkyard and use rock auto also

Get yourself a copy of the FORD Factory Service manual on DVD

When you get the ABS codes if it is a wheel sensor Jack up each wheel and check the hub bearings. The sensor is located in the hub assembly On my 04 the right rear hub bearing was bad I did replace it with one from a wrecked 04 and so far it has been ok Cost for that was only about $25 to $35 with me pulling the part and that was a PITA
