03 Expedition side view mirrors?

Anybody having a problem with their side view mirrors? Mine seem to go wild when shifting from reverse to drive and when I unlock the doors with key fob.

03 Expedition side view mirrors?

i have noticed that my passenger side mirror moves. i have the eb edition so i have the reverse mirror tilt. so when i shift from reverse to drive or park sometimes the mirror moves out and i have to push my memory button in order to get it back. have not noticed anything when i unlock the car. do u have the keyless entry of a security system??

I also have the EB and keyless entry with security. Just seems as they never stay where they are supost to be. The reverse is the biggest problem I have.

Do a search on this subject as there is a TSB to correct the "popping" problem with the mirror (new module).

The TSB does fix it BUT the mirror still doesn't always go back to its original position after the reverse tilt down.

I guess if enough people complain maybe they'll find a fix for this lack of mirror memory.

Go to your dealer and TELL them that there is a TSB for these issues.

If you don't trust your dealer then write down the TSB numbers as mentioned by us in these forums so it will give them some "assistance".

TSB (technical service bulletin) is not a recall so you will not be told of them. They are there to help techs fix "known" problems.

We are share your pain and frustration. This is why forums such as this are a true asset for owners.

Good luck and complain about the mirror memory position as the module doesn't fix this problem just the "popping".

No info on a search on this forum?

Ok I'll get off my lazy a$$ and look up my work order...

Front axle TSB was #03-06-04

The mirror popping didn't list the TSB but the part number is 2L1Z 14C708 BB

You really don't need to know the TSB number. That's the dealer's job to find it and fix it for you. It's WARRANTY for them so it's Ford paid work for them ($$$$ incentive) and it'll keep you a happy customer.

Good luck.

Btw unless you have a subscription to Alldata or some type of that service, you have no access to TSBs (intended for techs). That's what we're here for!

Okay found the mirror info on another piece of my expy info...

SSM# 16675 for popping mirror

Again, any "competent" dealer should have absolutely no problems finding all this info themselves. Chances are they've already done these repairs for other expy owners as these TSBs are not new.

Had mine fixed about 2 weeks after purchase. I didn't have the popping problem, but the passenger side went "nuts" driving down the highway, always trying to readjust itself. The reverse function stopped working as well.

They replaced the passenger side mirror, did a software patch and everything works great now, including the reverse function and return to proper setting when you hit unlock on the key fob.
