    The interior lights are fused by fuse 2.35, a 10 amp fuse, in the central control panel. The center brake light is fused by fuse 2.18, a 20 amp fuse, in the central control panel. There should be Nothing connecting these 2 functions.

    Gauges and pods

    Where do you drill the exhaust manifold? Is it at a point that sees both banks? What method do you use while drilling to keep chips out of the turbo?

    2004 F250 Head Gaskets blown!

    The fact that it will not turn over indicates coolant in one of the cylinders. I would not try to force it because you will do damage. Someone has got to remove the glow plugs to vent the coolant. Did you really overheat to the point you cracked the radiator?

    Temperature control question

    My new 04 Excursion has a step in the heater temperature control that I question. When setting the temperature in heat mode the control moves in 1 degree increments down to 65 degrees. At that point it jumps down to 60 degrees for the next setting. Is this normal? I ask this because 65 is too...

    4R100 TC Lockup Mod Opinions?

    Now what would really make it great is an article that shows how to use the vehicle speed sensor signal to automatically unlock the converter below 33 mph. Just food for thought for the electrically talented side.

    4R100 TC Lockup Mod Opinions?

    I would assume you would use a double pole switch. One side as a path to ground for the TC trigger an one side as a path to ground for the LED. If you just put the LED in series with the wire going to the switch the load of the TC selenoid coil would have to be carried by the LED, not something...

    4R100 TC Lockup Mod Opinions?

    I assume if you are using the TC Lock Up in the city you are using it in 3rd. gear. I had often used mine, on the Sub, in areas that I could hold a steady speed below that which the TC would lock on it's own, country roads and long hill. In some case 2nd gear on steep hills holding a speed...

    4R100 TC Lockup Mod Opinions?

    I have used a BD Torq Lock on my Sub for at least 100,000 miles and it was the best thing I ever added to the truck. Even though the BD was not designed to work with my 1997 OB2 in automatic mode it was still great. I would set the TC to lock manually rather than rely on the Torq Loc to do it...

    4.5 hour spring swap

    Dave What was your reason for the swap? I have an Excursion that has a lot of sway while towing my trailer and some have said the springs are the problem.

    Daytime running lights

    Well after getting a wiring diagram, poking around under the hood to locate parts, and calling the Ford dealer I now find out that Day Time Running Lights are not stock on Excursions. That may be why mine don't work. The parts aren't there. Ford describes the operation in the owners manual...

    Daytime running lights

    Just noticed my daytime running lights are out. The fuse is good. Anyone know the location of any relay or resistive load that may be in the circuit? The Ford manual indicates the daytime lights are th normal bulb on lower voltage and my headlights work so I assume it is not a bulb issue.

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    Hi Steve You mention you had the Excursion and towed with it before and after installing the Hellwig sway bar. What was the difference you saw if any? I was a bit surprised at the rear axle weight only going up 540 lbs. with the trailer , but nothing had changed form when I towed that...

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    I have been running this question on more than one site and I guess I failed to mention I had replaced the wheels and tires after the original trip to Fl. The truck now has 265 75 16 E rated Michelins. I have just had a conversation with another individual that is towing a 34 ft. Airstream...

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    Had a very lengthily conversation with a Michelin Company truck tire rep Yesterday. After reviewing my axle weights and other factors he came to the same conclusion I had as far as tire pressure, 50 front and 55 rear. He did say that under no circumstances should I go out to 75 psi as that would...

    I am new to the Ford side so how about the site address for the best Excursion Forum? In the mean time I have a call into Hellwig.

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    Tire pressures on the truck and trailer are set against the manufactures inflation charts plus 5 lbs. Most people, and tire dealers, are not even aware these charts exist. Trailer weight is 8300 lbs. Using 225 75 16 that would call for less than 40 lbs using the inflation chart...

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    What length are is trailers? I am assuming the 34 ft is giving some additional leverage to start a sway over a shorter trailer.

    Excursion Towing Problem Question

    I have just started towing my 34 ft. Airstream trailer with a 2004 Excursion. Having towed this trailer for over 110,000 miles with a Suburban 2500 I was quite surprised and horrified at the uncontrolability while towing. Even small cars caused excessive sway. My question is has anyone...

    Tow Haul Learn

    OK. That may be the factor as I did not have my foot in it and thus I was running below 2500 rpm waiting for it to up shift. There was not that much load on the truck because I was on level ground. Is there a way to cause up shift at a lower RPM since the load does not warrant that high an RPM...
