Power Fold Mirrors...

[smoakncop]

Ok, I have a 2008 Expedition EL King Ranch...
(1) I just recently purchased a power fold mirror switch. My KR has the heated, memory mirrors already. My question is this (1 of many) do I need to purchase a different motor to operate the power fold option? I also have Vol. 1 & 2, and the Wiring Diagram FORD OEM service manuals. I tried to initialize (if you will) the power fold option after installing the switch and nothing. Or do I need to have my computer flashed?

(2) My second issue is this, we recently just replaced both driver and passenger side power window motors and regulators. Now, I have tried the reinitialization for the Auto window function and the auto function works very infrequently. Does this mean a bad switch?

(3) Also, can anyone tell me why I hear a ticking sound coming from the engine area when I accelerate? I thought maybe a PCV valve issue, but that brought up another topic...do the 2008 Expo's have PVC valves? The ticking only occurs when accelerating.

I apologize for all these questions at once...I'm trying to keep from taking it to the dealer until the last resort!!

Thanks,

Matt

Hey Matt,
1) The powerfold mirrors have a motor inside the mirror assembly specific to folding. You would need to swap out the entire mirror and maybe do some additional wiring to get them to work. Also Im a bit surprised because I would have thought the King Ranch version came factory with the powerfold mirrors.

2) Sounds like something is up with the switch not activating the "auto" feature.

3) Have you checked for an exhaust leak, specifically at the manifolds ?

Thanks RI-Matt, I appreciate your help.....

Found out the hard way, what the ticking notice was!!! Cam phasers, a new engine later the truck runs great! Still working on the other two issues!
