Ford ExpeditionTrue expeditions require additional transportation conveyances: horses, boats, cars, for example. With a towing capacity around 9,000 pounds, the Ford Expedition can tow any of these. Ford adds a new top end King Ranch model for 2008, as well as an available rear backup camera and power-retractable running boards. The Expedition is meant for utility, not posing.
Ford seats have a small wire implanted into the foam cusion to heat the seats, after some use the wire breaks and contact is lost, so the light will go on but no heat because the circuit is broken, the only fix is to replace the cusion or go with a after market heat element that is better than stock, go to rosta controls web site, or google heated seat parts, I cant remember the web address, the cost from the dealer is almost $800.00 after market about $199.00 but you have to do it yourself and it have a two position setting for heat, or buy some 2003 and up seats they have a better system for heated seats, I ended up selling mine and not fixing the seat, buying a 2003 with an extended warrenty that covers the seat as well as everthing else, its a very, very poor design.
I have breifly looked into my 02 EB seat heaters as both driver and passenger seats fail to warm even thought the indicator lights up on the switch. When I dismantled the passenger seat and put 12V to the heating element, it worked very well but on the driver side it has an open circuit (break in heating element) and would not heat. I plan to replace the driver's side with an aftermarket system. The passenger side however, may be a bad heated seat module or the temperature sensor wire embedded alongside the element which sends the signal back to the module to regulate the temperature.
The aftermarket system I was looking at is approx. $200 and it comes complete with seat bottom and backrest elements, module and 2 setting temp switch. I have to look into it a little further but as the weather is warming I suspect it will not be until nearer the fall.
I have purchased a FoMoCo 2001 Expedition/Navigatoe Wiring Diagram Module and hope to put it to good use.
