Replace the coils on cylinders 2 and 4 (both are on the pass side of motor 1,2,3,4,5).

One of your door latch switches is bad (it is a known problem with the Ex's and SD's). Try and clean all of them and see if it fixes the problem. If you want to know for sure which door switch is bad, the dealer can go in with a scan tool and read the PID's for the door switches and let you know which door is thinking it is open when it is really closed.
Duh? That's what I paid the hundred dollars for in the first place. I could've told him that the door switch was bad.
I wanted to jump over the counter and choke him (that's probably why it's so high in the first place).
But I'm definately going to try those remedies and see what happens.
Actually, this Saturday, I have a great Mechanic coming to go through the electrical system with a microscope. He'll clear it up for me.
I'm going to pass on all the tips I got here for sure.
Thanks...this Forum has put my mind to rest greatly.

Absolutely.
Once I'm done with it, I'll report my findings here and let the board know what worked and what didn't.

Parameter ID. In simple terms it is the acronym that is used in association to the displayed sensor value on a scan tool. For instance:
Scan tool live data display-> Oxygen sensors -
O211 is usually bank one, sensor one and the voltage should swing from ~.1 to .8 This is a PID reading.

Got it at $7,000.00 flat.
Clean Carfax.
Spent $200. having it checked out by dealer.
I figure that with $800. I'll have the gremlins fixed.

It's a GREAT time to pick one of these up!

Thanks Turtle,
The SUV gods were smiling upon me that day!
Damn I got lucky!
I found a few $5,000. candidates, but they were a 2 Wheel Drive and beat up & needed work that would've brought their prices to close $7,000. anyway.

Update:
I've had my Ex now for 3 months now.
I still get giddy when I walk up to it.
She's still shining as if she just rolled off of the showroom floor.
This is it fellas...this is true love.
There is nothing new out there that I like more than my Ex. It "looks" like a truck.
The only other SUV's that I like are Range Rovers Sports and mid-late 90's Defender 90's/110's.
Oh, and early 90's Bronco's of course.
Supposedly, Ford is shutting down a lot of big truck ops to focus on small cars.
What they need to do is to put out that Hydrogen Powered SuperDuty and stop Richarding around already while the Japanese and GM steals all their marketshare.
Imagine that...a Hydrogen Powered Excursion?
$600. month on gas?
F it.
I love my truck!
Get out of my way MPG weenies!
Here comes 3 tons of American Steel!
