#11 of 30 Air Conditioning problems by misty83 Apr 06, 2006 (10:02 am)
I have a 1998 Ford Expedition (Eddie Bauer) and just recently I have been having problems with my air condition. It doesnt blow cold air. It blows fine but there is no cold air. I have gotten the a/c looked and they said the hose was fine, but it was short on freon. I added freon and it was back to normal. However wthin about a month, it is back to not blowing an cold air. It still blows air great but it just hot air. I also noticed that when the a/c gets turned on it makes a noise. It does it until you turn it off. It sounds like a rumbling. It starts for a few seconds and stops for a few seconds. I am not sure what the problem is. All I know is that when it starts blowing hot air, and I take it to get it looked at they always tell me the freon is low. Any advice is greatly appreciated Replies to this message: marlone (Apr 28, 2006 5:23 am)

Replying to: misty83 (Apr 06, 2006 10:02 am) misty83, i have experience this air con problem on our Ford Chateau E-150. Twice we injected freon and it was okay for two weeks but back with no cool air. Culprit was a pin hole freon leak at rubber hose and fitting for the air con system. Refer to a car air con techn and pinpoint the leaking hose.
#13 of 30 Low Idling RPM at 500rpm by marlone Apr 28, 2006 (5:26 am)
We have two 2003 Ford Exped. One has a normal idling of 1000 rpm but the other one has only 500. Usually, the engine stops during heavy traffic w/ the engine on idle mode. We replace spark plugs but didnt work. Anybody who had experienced such trouble? Pls help.
#14 of 30 2001 Expedition oil by dipdabear May 10, 2006 (9:41 am)
2001 Expedition calls for 5W20. I use Mobil1 Synthetic. Could I use 5W30? It seems to be more readily available and easier to find. Could it hurt to switch?
#15 of 30 Removal of front caliper 2000 Expedition by azmike99 May 23, 2006 (7:57 pm)
After removing the caliper bolts, the Chilton manual says you can just lift it away to get to the pads. I can't figure out how to do this .... what's the trick ?? Any help would be appreciated, THANKS Replies to this message: sparky1990 (Nov 02, 2009 4:17 pm)

#17 of 30 door ajar light on 2003 by sts Sep 02, 2006 (5:47 pm)
I have a ford exp 2003(eddie bauer). My door ajar warning sign stay on quite often. Now when I insert my key to the ignition, the driver seat either hesitated to move forward to the pre-set position or does not move at all. Does anyone has an idea what might be the issues here before I take it to the dealer? Thanks for your thoughts & suggestions Replies to this message: alwaysfords2 (Nov 02, 2006 3:01 pm)

Replying to: sts (Sep 02, 2006 5:47 pm) of course you asked this two months ago, but if you still have the problem spray a little WD40 in each of the latches. They tend to get gunked up. Spray and cycle the doors. It has worked on mine twice in the last 3 years.
#19 of 30 Quick Question by tyson1010 Nov 04, 2006 (7:38 pm)
I am looking at purchasing a new 2006 Expedition Eddie Bauer. It is black exterior. The only thing is I don't like is the trim that Eddie Bauer packages have on the exterior. This one is gold. Would it be difficult to get them to paint it black? How much should I expect them to charge? Thanks! Replies to this message: alwaysfords2 (Nov 06, 2006 4:29 am)

Replying to: tyson1010 (Nov 04, 2006 7:38 pm) I'm not sure if it is still an option, but there used to be an EB option for black and red Expeditions that made that trim body colored.
