I am new to this forum and would appreciate any info or direction for my problem. I have a 2008 Expedition EL with 60K mile, and up to six months ago have had zero problems. Now it seems that everything on the left side of the car is starting not to work and the dealer can only tell me that there are no problems and that there is no relation. Here we go:
1. After a car wash the left rear blinker frequently goes rapid fire and then stops and goes back to normal.
2. The left driver mirror goes to the wrong setting and even when recalibrated moves and make a clicking stuck noise.
3. Just recently the rear camera has been going in and out (gray fuzzy field), the dealer said it was broken.
4. One day the navigation wouldn't make any sound to the directions even though the screen still kept moving.
5. My wife was trying to adjust the driver seat and none of the controls would work.

I don't think this is all coincidence. If anyone has any ideas, that would be helpful. The dealer just keeps telling me that there are no problems with the electrical but that each piece is going bad. With so few miles on the vehicle, I think that there is another problem.

Welcome to the forum. Don't know if your generation suffers from the wet GEM / Fuse Box syndrome but do a search in that forum to see if others have had similar issues.

I can understand the dealer shying away from transient electrical issues. Would you be willing to pay for 8 hours of trouble shooting to find one wire that was the problem? Then it take the mechanic 15 minutes to fix it once found. They should be more enlightening on what is involved and let you decide.

Were I work that is standard fare on the school buses of today.
