    Condensation Drip onto Electrical Wire?

    So - I opened up the hood again today to try to get a better look at a few things - and I found where my actual BURN Smell is coming from, and likely that little plume of smoke I had experienced prior... On the very back passenger side at the firewall is an AC Condensate Drain (or appears to be...

    Burnt Smell + Oil?

    Thanks - Yes - I have a very miniscule leak back there it appears - hopefully it'll bide it's time for weather to warm up and us to get our own home then I'll just rebuild it. Can't be as bad as the oil filter housing on my wife's pentastar with those rear bracket bolts - my arm tore something...

    2016 3.5l Ecoboost Expedition EL Reliability?

    Thanks ya'll - I guess I just wanted to know if I should keep working on it or get something different., I can deal with small stuff like the valve cover/ vacuum pump seals but did not want to get into Timing Chains and Cam Phasers etc. until I'm more settled down. Looking at Suburbans - it was...

    2016 3.5l Ecoboost Expedition EL Reliability?

    Hey Ya'll - I've been a spammer of noob inquiries on this thing so far lol :( - But I've gotten by for a bit now with it. Overall, I like the oomph and the pizazz of this Expedition and appreciate everyone's assistance to date! I wanted to see - from other's perspectives of their opinions on...

    2016 3.5l Ecoboost Coolant Fluctuation

    Thanks for your responses everyone...turns out I've been diagnosed by my closer friends has having anxiety related to issues and just watching everything like a hawk and listening to it too closely reading into things that aren't there. To reiterate - the temp fluctuation was normal as it was...

    2016 3.5l Ecoboost Coolant Fluctuation

    Howdy Again Everyone! Well - here I am again for some friendly advice. 2016 Expedition EL XLT with 3.5l (that's all they made for these years anyway) - Coolant temperature readings have become erratic (it appears to warm up fine, temp creeps above the "C" mark on the gauge when I run it via...

    Mirror Signal Aftermarket Replacement

    Hi All - has anyone by chance located aftermarket (preferably) LED Mirror Signal Housing replacements - I am finding whole mirror assemblies (don't need) and bulbs of course - I've had my 2016 Expedition for a year, and the passenger side signal lens is broken and now just falls out all the time...

    Burnt Smell + Oil?

    We are in Lexington at the moment, but hoping to buy a house somewhere later this year. Somerset is in the potential area of that. It is nice here, we are originally from multiple generations in Colorado - it got so crowded and we got priced out of everything. I connected a vacuum line at the...

    Throttle Body Hoses

    Howdy - On the Throttle Body of the 2016 Ecoboost - what's the top hose? I will see if I can go out and trace it, but I am curious as to what would occur if it wasn't connected for a while....

    Burnt Smell + Oil?

    Thanks for that ! For some reason I always just need affirmation that I am on the right track...understandably nobody can "diagnose" a vehicle from across the internet really lol. I'll see if I can get a hand back there tonight and at least feel it - if I do feel oil back there I'm going to go...

    Burnt Smell + Oil?

    Hi Ya'll - please ignore my prior water post :). More concerning issue now. I got the smell of burnt oil in the cabin while taking my kiddo to school this morning. Will have to poke my head up in there, but it's definitely passenger side. Research indicates potentially either a valve cover or...

    Water Under (Only Water apparently) - Driver Side near Trans Crossmember

    Ok - went for another drive, while sitting idle waiting for kids to get out I saw a small plume of white smoke exit passenger side of the hood, was a quick plume then gone. Interesting. I think I have a very slight oil seep next to the alternator at the timing cover - have to wait until this...

    Water Under (Only Water apparently) - Driver Side near Trans Crossmember

    Hi Again Ya'll - I've noticed for a bit after running the vehicle there's a small water puddle under the driver side by the trans crossmember. I jacked it up today - but by the time I did get it up to crawl my butt under there it looked like where it was dripping from had dissipated. I've seen...

    Do I need a new PCM?

    Do I need a new PCM?

    This is the fun in troubleshooting on a forum, and I love it when the ideas pour in :0) - All good places to check...told you I was a backyard mechanic :0

    Do I need a new PCM?

    Sorry - for some reason I don't get e-mails of new replies to a thread I've chimed in on lol. I cannot give a "definitive" answer to that...with so many checks and electronics, I am inclined to believe if the alternator was not connected it would not start - because of all the electronics checks...

    Do I need a new PCM?

    sorry not sure why I looked up p1636 again, obviously I can't read...If the MAF sensor went bad - that's a fairly cheap and easy replacement - did you check your filter? Take that filter out and shake it really good and see where that gets you - I wasn't joking :0 .Lol

    Do I need a new PCM?

    Also follow your ground wires down below - not from the PCM up top - but check the frame area grounds. If there's a fault there it'll stand out.

    Do I need a new PCM?

    Did you take the alternator for testing? - p1636, from the few moments I was able to look it up, can be specific to a low voltage - so disconnecting your alternator may have done that one! Could be another sign of an alternator issue - If you have not tested the alternator, I'd remove that and...

    Do I need a new PCM?

    It's worth hooking up a tester and just checking the alternator that way - but it won't always identify a bad alternator. But I'd start with battery voltage, and then move to Alternator. In the past my lights would Christmas Tree for a SPLIT second while driving - it was so easy to miss, and...

    Do I need a new PCM?

    Also REALLY stupid - but my wife did have a '99 Chrysler Town and Country that stopped starting due to a very dirty air filter...of course no codes popped up - it would turn over similarly to yours though and just not want to get going - I felt the filter looked ok, but obviously it wasn't -...

    Do I need a new PCM?

    Not familiar with this deep in - but willing to give my .02 in hopes of helping! One stupidly basic suggestion - what's your battery reading at if tested with a voltage meter? The next step is I would get the alternator tested...the thing that leads me to point to battery/alternator is those...

    2017 strange heat issue

    On my 2016 when purchased, they claimed they replaced the water pump - less than 3 months later water pump leaking (bought used at 140k miles 3 months ago lol) - took it in to them saying what the heck, and they called me back saying they replaced the auxiliary water pump not the mechanical...

    2H/4H/4L shift knob fell off

    Oh if you look at those pictures I already see those extended clip arms, so you put in a small trim tool to start pushing those in towards to the switch housing, and then pull out on it and it'll start to pop out :).
