2004 Expedition Few Questions
Okay guys, new to the forum, and I just purchased a 1 owner (Now 2 
) 2004 Expedition with 123,000 original miles. Its in GREAT condition.
--First off the A/C... With the A/C on HI/Recir. it doesnt really blow out much air. When I put it to fresh air I do hear the door move so I know that the door is working.. Is there an air filter on this that might be needing to be changed, or is it just something with all the 03 Expeditions?
--Also it has the Aux. lights in the side view mirror that lights the ground around the doors when you unlock the doors with the remote. The light on the driver's side is out and I am having issues getting the cover off to replace the bulb. Anyone have any idea, does it just snap off and on?
--Okay and in the rear of the expedition on the inside on drivers side there is a small cover, when you remove the cover there is a thing that has a red button. The button is NOT the Emerg. Fuel cut off switch. Think it has something to do with the suspension. Anyone know for sure what that is and what it does?
--The rear window wiper/washer... Is there a seperate washer fluid container for the rear washer, or does it pull washer fluid from the same container that the front washers pull from under the hood?
--4.6L engine. Is it a pretty decent engine? I have owned mostly GM vehicles and not really up on Fords engines. About 1 week after I bought it the engine started running really rough and wanting to die out when I came to a stop. Engine light came on, I brought it to Auto Zone to have the code read. Was reading Cylinder #1 misfire. Was told that it was one of three things. The spark plug was loose, the spark plug needed to be replaced, or the coil needed to be replaced. It ended up needing the spark plug replaced, so I replaced them all. Runs great now. I didnt realize that they had individual coils for each cylinder. That was a new one on me! Took me about an hour to realize where the spark plugs were.
--Posi-trac??? Okay I know that the Expedition is a pretty hevy vehicle, even for the 4.6 V-8 but It's nearly impossible to get the rear tires to spin, even on wet pavement or gravel. Just curious if all 03 Expeditions has a posi-trac rear end, or is it low geared?
Okay, I know its alot of questions, but the last owner didnt have the owners manuel, and the dealer here had to order one for me. I dont want to wait!
I appreciate you guys helping me out on any of these questions that you can!
