    2004 Power seat won't lower

    I searched the forums for answers before posting this and found one thread about a power seat issue, but mine is a bit different. I got into the truck this morning and pushed the memory button like I always do. The seat made a very loud vibration, much louder than usual (almost sounded...

    No cold air

    Truck is at the mechanic right now. The air stopped blowing cold this past weekend. He just informed me that there is a "bad connection at the plug in near the compressor". He says he is waiting on a call from Ford to find out if he can cut the bad part out and splice the new part in. Does...

    Strange electrical problems after hurricane

    Here's an update. After haggling with the insurance company and not getting anywhere, my husband decided yesterday to work on it again. Once again he cleaned the battery terminals and everything associated with the battery and alternator, and he was able to get it started this time. He tested...

    Strange electrical problems after hurricane

    Hi all. Fairly new here but I have posted once before. I live in New Orleans. Just went thru hurricane Isaac. My 2004 Expedition 5.4L EB, which I have had for six months, has worked fine up until the time the hurricane hit. Once the storm had passed, we got into it to drive around and get...

    A/C repair?

    How much can I expect to pay a shop to replace my A/C compressor? The trusty mechanic we have used for years is giving me an estimate of around $1000. Just want to be sure that's on par. I have a 2004 Eddie Bauer 8 cyl 5.4L.

    New here; need help with a low idle issue

    Well, I never did find out what the issue was, but it stopped doing it long enough to trade it in - on a newer Expedition!

    New here; need help with a low idle issue

    Wow, 05Bandit - that sounds like a simple and easy fix. I'm going to show this thread to my husband so he can try this if he hasn't already.

    New here; need help with a low idle issue

    Callee11 - you are so right - every single time I bring it to the mechanic, it stops acting up. Every time. I had an appointment with him a couple of weeks ago and the night before, it started running right. It's very frustrating. markanthony - I will show my husband your reply...

    New here; need help with a low idle issue

    5 months?? That's crazy! Husband replaced the battery, but it's still acting up. Now he thinks its the starter. Of course, that won't fix the low idle issue. I really love my Expedition, but there are so many little things that are starting to come up lately that it's probably time to get...

    New here; need help with a low idle issue

    Had the alternator replaced in Feb of 2009; how long are they supposed to last? I'm not having the same symptoms I did when it went out the last time, but I'm sure that doesn't mean anything. My husband agreed that the alternator could be the problem. It just stumps me why the mechanic...

    New here; need help with a low idle issue

    Unfortunately, cleaning the throttle body didn't work. My husband has mentioned bad coils, but says that half of them are hard to get to, and it's hard to tell which one(s) are bad? Seems like the mechanic would have been able to tell if that was the problem, though. Maybe I just need to...

    My husband replaced the IAC, but there was no improvement. I will tell him about the throttle body cleaning.

    New here; need help with a low idle issue

    Hello everyone. I just joined; I am having a problem with my truck and I'm looking for some opinions. I have a 2000 Exp 5.4L engine. When I start the truck, the RPMs immediately go down to around 400. I have to rev the engine up around 2000 RPMs for a few minutes, or else when I let off the...
