Help to identify a part please

[effingpot]

Hi,
The plastic moulding on the side of the driver seat has broken on my 2015 Expedition XLT 5.4L (not a US model but physically the same as the 2015 smaller engine models). I've looked on RockAuto and other places but can't seem to find what I actually need to order. I live in the UK so it's not that simple to pop into a Ford Dealer for help so, if anyone here can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.
Photo attached.
Thanks
Mike

There is another post on this forum about the seat trim piece you show.

It lists the part number and how to replace it. If you do a little searching, you’ll find it.

I own a 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4 with the Dune interior.


EDIT: Here is a link: https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/2015-expedition-drivers-seat-trim-repair.40558/#post-358661

Thanks - I'd seen that thread but clearly missed the part number info which I'll need to order it. I'll dig further.

4.5l, seriously? That's a thing?

Link to specs please, wanna satisfy my curiosity... google seems to think it doesn't exist, most of the links are to typos of 4.6l and 5.4l

He meant 3.5. Thts the only motor made for 2015s

 

[Adieu]

Ahh I thought it was some EcoEuro thing...

they got a lot of oddballs like 3 cylinder engines, sports sedans with two digita of horses on the base models, etc there

Haha - you sound like my local Ford Dealer who looked at my car and the VIN and then told me it didn't exist! Even though he could see it!

I meant 5.4L actually. You are right though - it doesn't "exist" as far as I can tell either! The story goes that there were a small batch of them made for a Middle Eastern order that fell through (hence the Arabic writing I see), they were put into storage until a mate in Liverpool bought most of them and I got one. I've also tried to find the spec but not managed to. So I own something that doesn't exist. How exciting!!

Physically parts for the 2015 3.5L seem to fit, though I still can't find the p/n or order details for the seat trim

 

[Flexpedition]

That is pretty interesting. So your 8th digit in the VIN is the letter L (for 5.4L) and not a letter G (for 3.5L EB) ??

Is there arabic outside of the owners manual?

 

[effingpot]

The VIN 8th digit is actually 5 and there is Arabic on the rear view mirrors for example.

Anyone know the answer to the question in post one while we're here?

Here's a good place to start

There were a batch of 2015 models made with 5.4L Triton engines? I’d have to see it to believe it, pop that hood open.

Also that part # should be the same for 2007-2017 models as far as I can tell if that helps.

 

[Flexpedition]

For dune interior, it appears to be part GL1Z-14A707-AA.

Might be wise to remove yours and see if you see the same on the backside.

Have a peek at this diagram:

The above part is #7 in the illustration.

07-14 had the multiple driver memory buttons on this panel. 15-17 that button is elsewhere or the results are achieved by another means.

I thought the OP had a 2015 XLT which would mean no 10 way power/ memory drivers seat unless option box was checked. That may explain the lack of buttons on his seat. On images they both show buttons for me but I could be wrong.

Here is a 2013 memory seat:

And a 2015 memory seat:

Blimey this is fun - mine defo only has 3 buttons so not sure that one will work. If anyone wants photos of the engine to address curiosity, just shout.

(PS asking me to check the 'backside' translates quite badly into 'British English' but I think I know what you mean ). I'll see if I can get the thing off - it's a bit fiddly! Appreciate all the suggestions!

 

[effingpot]

Blimey this is interesting - didn't realise the PN was actually printed on the part. That makes life easier - it's 8L14-14A706-B.
I wonder if the '14' means a 2014 model and not the 2015 I was sold or just a co-incidence.
Either way - googling the new PN comes up with a 4-button panel not the 3-button I have. Mysterious!

Open the hood and snap a pic of this 5.4L in a 2015. Still skeptical

It's dark now!! Let's put $10 on it eh? I'll take a pic in the morning

I just need to see it to believe it, not betting lol. There’s zero information online about any 2015 having anything other than a 3.5L
