Electrical problems hopefully SOLVED by shawn51mary

I have been having alot of issues with my 98 exped. Sometimes the rear wipers don't work or delayed starting. Now my radio will not go off after you turn off the ignition and exit the vehicle. My remote entry doesn't work... when you open the door it beeps as if I left the headlights on or the keys in the ignition...which is not the case. Just a bunch of weird things! So this afternoon I sent my hubby to go look for anything wrong with the wiring and we discovered water leaking behind the dash on the drivers side. Our best guess is that it is leaking into the GEM module and/or fuse box and causing problems. We are going to have to have the windshield taken out and sealed back in. Hopefully that fixes everything and more extensive damage hasn't been done.
 
If you are having wiring problems I highly suggest taking a dry napkin or towel and running it along the inside bottom of your windshield (on the drivers side) while it's raining outside to see there is any rain getting in.

01 Expedition Odometer comes on and off by barb1877

We just bought a used 2001 Expedition. We've not had any problems with anything as mentioned in the previous posts.... however, twice in the past week the odometer reading will go off (just black) and then all the sudden re-appear (little green numbers). Has anyone had this occur? Any solutions? My job requires odometer readings for mileage, so a little concerned about it going off and on.

Hey Barb,
 
I also have a 01 Expedition that this started happening to. Did you find a resolution yet?

I'VE GOT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH AN 02 EXPEDITION. ON TWO SEPARATE TIMES THE DASH BLOWER MOTOR WOULD COME ON FULL BLAST WHEN I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND REMOVED IT. PROBLEM WENT AWAY AND ABOUT A YEAR LATER RETURNED. PROBLEM WENT AWAY AGAIN BUT THIS AFTERNOON AFTER A RAINY TRIP TO WORK THIS MORNING AS WELL AS ALL DAY RAIN, THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK NOR WOULD THE RADIO WORK. I STOPPED AT THE NEAREST AUTOZONE TO FIND A POSSIBLE BLOWN FUSE AND WHEN I PUT THE THING IN PARK THE WIPERS AND THE RADIO CAME ON. I THINK MAYBE THE IDEA ABOUT WATER GETTING INTO THE DASH AREA MAY BE RIGHT. I THINK I CAN RELATE ALL MY ISSUES TO RAINY OR DAMP CONDITIONS. I HAVE NOT NOTICED WATER IN THE FLOORBOARD BUT WHEN IF IT EVER STOPS RAINING HERE IN FLORIDA I'M GONNA CHECK THAT AREA OUT THOROUGHLY. HOPE THIS HELPS.... AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT ALONE!!

Haven't gotten a solution yet. Have had it happen a few more times. We're probably going to take it to an Electrical service shop, soon, so we hopefully don't run into some of the other problems we've read about.

I think if you reserach this on a few more Expy boards you'll find the answer, it is a fairly common thing. It can be reapired at home with limited skills. It is a solder joint that needs to repaired on the cluster. Local shop will probably be able to fix it in no time if they have done it before.

can you point me to the thread or send a link, thanks, I know it is under the dash somewhere and close to the drivers console area, if that is the cluster you mention, I had just started taking the face plate of teh dash off to start searching further, but if you know exactly that woud be great.
