European, I believe. The circuits are also included in the Ford Wiring Diagrams book.

There was a time you could go on line and get a "Build Sheet" which included a list of specific parts used in the truck's construction. This was an internal document and listed code numbers and part numbers for scores of modules and components. I have the window sticker from the truck, but am...

The AS/S system is removed on government order cars.

Maybe someone knows otherwise, but I understand that the remote start trucks use a different module. I have an 23 Expedition without remote start and there is a different part number for the module equipped with remote start.

Back in High School days, we'd grab a manhole cover from some decrepit part of town to weight down the bed in the winter. Got hit once and watching the iron disk levitating - in slow motion - at the rear window cured me of the practice.

Here in NY, I'd just buy the parts and fix it on my dollar. Otherwise, my insurance would increase by $3000/year for four years. State laws. Good thing it's all bolt-on parts. Almost kind of clean, fun work on such a new truck. Just guessing, but maybe $2K in parts?

The only thing for certain in this environment is uncertainty. Must be very difficult running a company like Ford when the regulations and economics can change with each election. So I suppose Ford will take a middle road, keeping options open. Maybe they'll ditch some clearly unpopular...

Nice work! Did you burn your thumb?

My '23 Expedition has a keyed ignition and a column shifter and I looked high and low to find it. It only has 41 programmable modules in it and two turbochargers. Old school for sure.

Try parts.levittownfordparts.com. Their prices are pretty good. Tasca is no longer an option. Zero customer service and no returns.

Why is it that when we were 18 years old, none of this was a chore?

... you know, pouring jugs of fluid down a funnel for 45 minutes is a bit less than fun.

Unfortunately the true test is how they each wear-in and flatten out after 60,000 miles of my big rear bouncing them down...

I'm not sure about these years but the earlier ones had a soft plastic channel embedded in the foam that was used in the cooled seats. When I replaced seat foam in my '08, the only Ford cushion foam available had that ductwork.

@Mosey, does it take two hours to get the fluid from the funnel through that 4-foot tiny hose when the fluid's at room temperature?
