not sure if you have found a solution to your problem yet, but i just wanted to throw my two cents out there. i have an 04 expy eddie bauer with the electronic hvac controls. i used to notice that the ac would randomly stop blowing cold air. i noticed it mostly when i drove long distances. i took it into the dealership and they said it was some sort of related wire harness. they fixed it at no cost (under warranty) and said that there was a TSB out for that problem. maybe similar to yours???

The driver seat heat/ac switch on my 2003 EB has quit working. I took apart the console, figuring I could get to it that way. I still cannot get to the switch. can anyone give me guidance on how to replace the switch? Thanks

Hmmm... I have a 2004 Eddie Bauer Expedition, and I was able to get the seat heater/AC switch. First off, there's a screw in the large bin toward the front of the center console under the rubber mat. You need to unscrew that. Then you have to pry along the seam under the center console along each side. You should be able to pop the cover off. There might be another screw accessible through the center storage box, but I don't think there way.
 
Anyway, once I popped that cover off, the switches were easy to access and are only attached by a screw and a harness clip. Good luck!

Cold + Idle = shutdown by mcmushx15

I have a 2002 which when cold (temp gauge) and when the engine is idle, the car shuts off. When its warm, the truck is good to go. We tried going to Ford but I think they messed up something as the diagnostic doesn't show anything wrong ... I think its a sensor of some sought but unsure... what can i try or look for???
 
TIA

I too have a 2007 4x4 Expedition and I was just making a short run (less than a mile) to the store and on the way back the brakes started chattering severely and the traction control indicator came on. This was on dry pavement. I just bought this car with 22K miles on it. Is it yours?

Hard to start truck.... by sonyam

I just bought a 2004 Expedition and I am having SOOO many problems with it. First off it has about 190,000 miles but this is the only truck we could get at the time. I regret it now. I can't even turn my truck on without it giving me problems. I have to crank it at least 3 or 4 times before it will start. Then sometimes it kinda jerks like it doesn't want to go. Just this morning i was ocming to a red light and it just turned off on me. The brakes sound horrible as well. I don't know ANYTHING about trucks can anyone help me out to what u think it could be so I won't get taken advantage of at the mechanics.... I'd really appreciate it. I tried putting gas treatment and fuel injector fluid but it still does the same thing .... Thank you!
 
I almost forgot... the 6-disc cd changer id so MESSED UP!... it plays what it wants when it wants and has trouble loading and ejecting... it says BAD DISC on brand new cd's

190,000 miles on an 2004? by mschmal

I would bet any money that the person who drove this vehicle before you skipped many of the scheduled maintenance requirements.
 
190,000 is 3 years is 63k+ miles per year!
5,200 miles per month!
 
You Expedition should have had 38 oil changes, about 1 per month
3 Transmission services. about 1 per year.

Dear Trumpguy03: My friendly neighbor is a retired automechanic who owned his own shop. I had the same problem. He said they the rotors should be turned in place. If you take them off and turn them they will likely never go back on exactly the way they were. Rust or other stuff behind them will cause them to be out of alignment and cause more problems down the line. He said he had a machine that does it while they are still on the car. He recommended only taking them off if they couldn't be turned and you needed new ones.
