Ford Expedition: Why are my Rear Brake lights not working

Fri, 31 Jan 2020 13:34:19 -0700

We checked the fuses and they seem fine. Two years ago we had a huge problem with the wiring harness, it would loosen it's connection from our dirt road and the truck would just shut off.

Just seeking some wisdom from some legends on how (as the title states) to rebuild a Steering rack and pinion? I haven't done before and not afraid to give it a go. If some legend is able to put up a kind of Tutorial of sorts this would be legendary.

Ford Expedition: No crank no start issue

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 21:00:51 -0700

Hi everybody, hope everyone having a great day. I need some directions on go about trouble shooting my ford expedition 2003. I went to pick up my son from school last year, while I was waiting, I turn the engine off thinking nothing was wrong. After my son was buckle in, I turn the key to start the car. It crank and came on, only for 2 seconds, then it went dead. I thought must be drain battery, so we walk home from there, I came back with the battery jumper and it did not help. I car remain dead. All lights and signal still shine bright, no anti theft flashes check engine light on and car would not crank or start. So I hammer the starter and tried to listen for fuel pump. Nothing… no changes so I ended up towing it home where I remain working on it. I check sensors, I’ve change alternator and check starter, everything look ok. Finally I had a chance to check the wiring from battery to ground and positive wiring also. I even change the fuse box hoping that be enough. Still nothing. Unplug pcm and plug harness back in one at a time. The first one went in, no change, second one went half way in and I got starter to crank but still no fuel pump. Third harnest got same result. So I jump fuel pump relay and crank the car. Still doesn’t kick on. Now I don’t know what else to do. I’m lost and about to give up on the car but that’s my only transportation. So if anyone out there who has same problems or know how or what to do, please shared your thoughts and help me out. I can’t afford to take it to the shop, I barely making end meets… so I appreciate everyone for their time and efforts. Someday good will come to those who help others… thank you

I just changed my brake pads and in the process the caliper came detached from some line and all the brake fluid started squirting out. What the heck just happened???? Lol. It has some sort of nipple and I am able to insert it back into the hose but it keeps coming apart when I press on the brakes.

Thank you
