The 2012 Ford Expedition has ample room for passengers and cargo, while still being able to tow anywhere from 8,900 to 9,200 pounds. The Expedition has two-tone exterior packages making it stand out...
Do you love camping, getting back to nature and enjoying life in the great outdoors? If you do, then you know that getting there can be half the fun, and it’s even...
That is a possibility but there are separate heater cores (front versus rear) and so in your application there may also be separate heater control valves (in line "plumbing") for the front heater core versus the rear heater core. If...
It is possible that you could be having an issue with your axle or with your engine. I would recommend having your vehicle inspected by a qualified professional to determine the exact cause of this issue before spending any more...
This may be caused by a bad shift interlock solenoid, a bad shift cable or possibly a failed brake light switch. I would suggest having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to take a look at the vehicle...
For optimal ring seating, the cylinder should be honed. I understand you can see the old cross hatch but the honing also ensures that any glaze on the cylinder wall is broken. That glaze prevents the new rings from sealing....
You may need to drive it for up to 100 miles in different driving conditions to get the monitors to pass. You can have the system tested to see if they all pass before getting inspected as long as they...
Since this vehicle has a v-shaped engine, there would be two Banks of exhaust. Typically for each Bank of exhaust there is one catalytic converter. Therefore there should be two catalytic converters total on the entire vehicle.
That is most likely a malfunctioning component in the ventilation controls, such as an actuator or blend door. It's actually not uncommon and thus there are quite a few reports of this "clicking". To resolve it requires a bit of...
No antifreeze would explain the no heat and if the antifreeze leaked out, that might be related to the cloud of smoke. Also, if there is no liquid coolant in the engine, the temperature gauge will malfunction as you describe...
When you lost all the fluid it may have damaged the transmission. You should have the fluid level rechecked first and if low then top it off and recheck it. If still only get reverse then you will need to...
Hi Claire. Thanks for contacting us today. Yeah, it's likely that you have a blown fuse or electrical relay that is causing the driver side seat heat and cigarette lighter to malfunction. I do not believe they have the same...
Hi Gavin. Thanks for submitting your question today. In most cases, grinding while applying brakes is caused by worn brake pads (which you indicate were recently replaced), debris trapped between the pads and caliper, or using lower quality pads than...
Prior to honing, the cylinder has to be measured for any out-of-round condition. The service limit on out-of-round for your specific engine is .0005 inches. If out-of-round exceeds .0005 inches, which it probably does, the block has to be serviced...
If the caliper is leaking, the most effective course is to disassemble it, inspect the bore, and re-assemble it with new seals. It is unlikely a leak will be resolved by any "external" measures. If you desire a resolution, please...
The monitors may take up to 200 miles to get them to pass since it takes special conditions to get them to pass. You can have a mechanic run the monitor test before taking to inspection stations to get checked...
The check engine light bulb should have one 12 volt hot wire that is run in parallel to other bulb lights. You can check for battery voltage between that wire (if you believe you have identified it) and ground. The...
The best way to test a fuel pump for proper function is to test the fuel pressure. If the fuel pressure is low, this could mean that the fuel pump is weak or that the fuel filter is clogged. I...
A tutorial on cylinder honing (and grit size recommendations) is at this link. For ring gap recommendations, please see this link or the Factory Service Manual for your vehicle. If you have not honed cylinders in an engine block before,...
You may have a broken or disconnected shift cable at bottom of steering column or at transmission. Look under dash at bottom of steering column to see if shift cable are came loose from bottom of column. The screws that...
A faulty shift solenoid, and/or internal mechanical faults that cause clutch slippage, will usually set a trouble code and the check engine light will come on. Check for stored trouble codes but if there are no stored codes, a scan...
