#61 of 1827 Some Problems with my 02 E.B. Expy by radiogeek Jan 03, 2003 (6:19 am)
Has anyone else encountered these problems? I live in Boston--middle of winter here now--and am thinking these may be weather-related:   1. Driver's window SOMETIMES won't go down when I first try it in the morning. I've got to press the button 5...6...7 times before the window rolls down. After that first hesitation, it works fine.   2. Yesterday, each time I was in Reverse my reverse sensing system was going nuts (steady beep) like I was on top of an object. However, NOTHING was nearby. I got out and cleaned the sensors, but still had the steady tone.
#62 of 1827 Remote Starter/Alarms by radiogeek Jan 03, 2003 (6:24 am)
While I'm logged in. Another item to ask about:   I was shopping for remote starter/alarm packages and am told by one shop that they'll have to replace my key (with the chip) to install the starter.   Yet a family member also has a chip in her Mountaineer's key and didn't have replace that or her fob when she got the remote starter. I hesitate to replace my fob since my original Ford one is much better made than most fobs I see with these packages.   Anyone else have experience with remote starters on 02 Expeditions?   And, if so, what kind of "additional charges" do you find for installation on the truck? Most places I spoke with won't even QUOTE a price because "we won't know until we begin the work."
#63 of 1827 Gas Mileage by shadowll Jan 07, 2003 (7:25 am)
I just bought a 00 E.B and so far am very pleased with the vehicle. While not expecting to get good mileage I am kind of shocked that at this point I am only getting 10 mpg in town does anyone else get this kind of mileage I believed they were to get a lil better mileage than this.   Thanks

Are you using the trip computer or calculating it?
#65 of 1827 by shadowll Jan 07, 2003 (9:50 am)
I've done both first reading was actually under 10. Last one was a lil better, but still seems to be awfully low.
#66 of 1827 re: shadowll - Gas mileage by macman246 Jan 07, 2003 (11:36 am)
We have a '99 Expedition and get about 11-13 mpg normally. On long trips it goes up to 17-18 mpg. It's got the 5.4L V8.   Do you have a lead foot? Do you idle for long periods of time picking your kids up from school? If not, you probably have a problem.
#67 of 1827 New 03 Problem by sweeney5 Jan 10, 2003 (8:00 am)
Can you help - we have had an 03 XLT Premium for about 10 days. It seems to keep on accelerating after you take your foot off the throtle and seems slow to downshift when you are slowing down - any obvious causes known??   thanks
#68 of 1827 Radiogeek: Reverse sensing system by rickc5 Jan 20, 2003 (2:24 pm)
The reverse sensing system in our 2001 E.B. doesn't work at all when it is real cold out (like 20 degrees F or colder). It works fine when the temp is above freezing. And yours beeps all the time when its cold out. Weird, huh?
#69 of 1827 Re: Reverse Sensing by radiogeek Jan 21, 2003 (5:38 am)
Thanks for the reply. It's weird that it actually only happened that once! (And, only one day in the last 7 days has the temp been above freezing)   But, I'm still having trouble with my driver's window not opening first thing in the morning. I think that is weather releated since on COLD days it still takes about 10 tries of hitting the down button to get the window to go down and the ONLY day it worked on the first try was the day it was not below freezing.   I've got to take it into the dealer but getting a day to schedule an appt. when I won't need the truck and finding the time to drop it off... that's a pain!   Thanks again, Rick, for the info!
