    Liftgate / Hatch Elec Button Inoperable (non-power)

    I'm still in the fact-finding phase here. I have a 2008 XLT that has a button for the liftgate / hatch, but not a "power liftgate." The button for the liftgate / hatch glass works perfectly. FACTS : The entire rear hatch locking actuators (window and liftgate / hatch) have a healthy 20amp fuse...

    Running Boards

    I haven't even looked under the Expedition. It has (3) mounting points also, or you had to be creative to attach the Raptor's 3rd point?

    Running Boards

    Did you have to do any fab work at all, or were they plug-n-play directly with existing structure and hardware on the Exp?

    Running Boards

    What other Ford (SUV & Trucks) has running boards that are plug-n-play on a 2008 Expy? I have a SSV with no running boards at all and I want an easy solution.

    Ignition Coil Plastic Wire Connector (2008)

    If anyone has replaced your ignition coils then I'm sure your plastic wire connection tabs broke when removing the old coils. How did you resolve the absence of a locking tab? I cannot find a way to zip tie them snug, nor have I discovered a method to keep them connected tightly. I'm talking...

    HVAC Actuators - number in dash?

    I have replaced the one above the drivers foot and the one behind the radio. When I switch from upper vent to lower floor, I seem to still have some air flow on the passenger dash. I'm trying to determine if there are any specific actuators that affect this. I do "not" have dual zone temp...

    HVAC Actuators - number in dash?

    JimR_TN >> the "* Mode Door Actuator — Air Inlet Door: RH lower A pillar" Is this above the fuse panel of the right side of the passenger floorboard? You have any kind of visual diagram for these?

    Reset / Calibration of blend door actuator

    My wife is "swearing" that the ventilation is not switching to provide heat on the floor on the passenger side...although, it is functioning appropriately on the driver's side. I replaced the actuator above the gas pedal a few weeks ago. I just want to make sure the actuator is reset and...

    Reset / Calibration of blend door actuator

    What are the steps and fuses that need to be pulled to reset, or calibrate, the blend door actuator? I've read older articles that are referring to the previous generation of Expeditions and they suggest pulled the 5 and 13 fuses at the passengers footwell. What is appropriate method for the...

    HVAC Actuators - number in dash?

    How many actuators does a 2008 ford expedition have in the dash? (1) Above driver's gas pedal (upper/lower blend door?) (2) Behind the radio (hot/cold blend door?) (3) Rear storage area/3rd row passenger side behind plastic cover (hot/cold blend door?) (4) Is there another one somewhere in the...

    Suggested Engine Replacements Sources (2012 2WD Limited)

    Just talked to a guy I work with who is "very" knowledgeable of the Triton engines through all the generations of Expedition. He owns 2. He recommends that Frazier engine rebuilds. Almost right on par with quality, etc., of the Jasper, but significantly cheaper.

    Suggested Engine Replacements Sources (2012 2WD Limited)

    Did you see a number of bad reviews (in relation to the good ones)? I look at reviews in Amazon when I'm purchasing there too. But if there are some scathing reviews, they get 4.5 stars, and have 10k reviews...then I side with the stars. That's how I'm looking at the Jasper. Also spoke with...

    Suggested Engine Replacements Sources (2012 2WD Limited)

    I got strong recommendations for https://www.jasperengines.com/ and have been reading their site. They have a strong warranty and I've heard that their remans are "better" than from the factory (or crate). They address all the issues that are problematic for failure and issues (too many to...

    Suggested Engine Replacements Sources (2012 2WD Limited)

    I recently purchased a 2012 2WD Limited (195K) for $1500. Bought it for parts for my older 2008 4x4 SSV, but once I got it home I started considering an engine replacement for the 2012 and selling the 2008. I've had suggestions of getting a Jasper rebuilt motor (probably $10-12 installed)...

    New radio install on a 2010 Expy SSV - help?

    @ JimR_TN, I agree with you on the stock radio having the "switcher." There are "no" 12v switched at all behind the stereo console area either. I had to chase one out on a connect down by the fuse panel. It was close and easy to run the wire.
