#14 of 23 Re: Expedition door locks ~ Help!!! [1froggirl] by glen_c Jan 18, 2008 (5:07 am)
Replying to: 1froggirl (Aug 29, 2007 8:43 pm) Hey, I also have an '04 EB. My locks remain locked after shutting it off. Not an issue in the front seats but I have to press the unlock for the kids to get out the back.
#15 of 23 Drivers Door Latch Disconnected by clayg Apr 24, 2008 (11:17 am)
I can't open the drivers door from the inside on my 2003 XL T. The door latch seems to be disconnected from whatever lever is necessary to open door. Can anyone help with this?   thanks
#16 of 23 2003 Expedition problems with ?relay by kearwood Apr 30, 2008 (11:37 am)
I have a ford expedition that has four problems one being a relay relay but know nothing about relays. My expedition has the door ajar on the message center but no doors are ajar. This in turn causes the lights to not go out and the door locks to not lock automatically and when you take the key out of the ignition the radio goes off instead of staying on until you open the door.   Secondly, we also have problems with the cruise control not working. Thirdly, the foot pedal that moves the pedals forward or backward. Last the cd player keeps the cd and will not release it I push the eject but it shows no cd but I know for a fact there is a cd in area 1 and a cd in area 2.   any help would be appreciated.

Did you ever get this problem resolved? Any other tips? Replies to this message: forrestjer (Jan 28, 2009 2:44 pm) kearwood (Jan 28, 2009 2:51 pm)
#18 of 23 2008 Expedition Lift Gate by 08ExBHA Nov 22, 2008 (7:07 pm)
We have a 2008 Expedition Eddie Bauer with the electronic lift gate option. In cool or cold weather the lift gate opens then immediately closes. The dealer has replaced the pistons several times but the problem continues. It seems the pistons are spec'd incorrectly or are defective. The problem does not occur in warm weather when the pistons apparently have sufficient gas pressure. Has anyone else experienced this problem? The dealer tells us they have not seen it before.

Replying to: 08ExBHA (Nov 22, 2008 7:07 pm) The same thing happened on my 2008 Expedition this afternoon - liftgate not staying in the open position. Did you get your issue resolved and if so, what did they do to fix it?   Thanks in advance

The problem does seem to finally be fixed. We aren't sure exactly what they did, but last time we had it back to the dealer they changed some computer codes. It was not a problem with the gas pressure in the pistons as originally thought. Our problem only happened on cold days, so the piston thoery seemed to make sense.

Our 03 Expedition door ajar light comes and goes, beeps like mad all the time and if we leave the interior lights on, it sets the alarm off Replies to this message: kearwood (Jan 28, 2009 2:51 pm)

Replying to: forrestjer (Jan 28, 2009 2:44 pm) No but it is winter and this problem only happens when the temperature outside gets above 80 degrees. So for now, we are not addressing the problem. We will see what happens when the heat rises. We are in Georgia so that could be as early as April.
#23 of 23 1998 Expedition rear door strut by edavis49 May 04, 2009 (2:17 pm)
I'm trying to find instructions on how to replace my rear door and window struts. I have to hold the rear window open and I have to manually close the rear door.
