Hello. It seems either your Ford's speedometer cable is 'worn' and/or the speedometer, itself, is out of adjustment. Replace your Ford's speedometer cable first. If that doesn't help, then remove the 'instrument cluster' and take it to a specialty shop for repair. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

1. Disable air bag system.
2. Remove steering column shroud by removing self-tapping screws. Remove tilt lever if equipped.
3. Remove instrument panel lower steering column cover.
4. Disconnect ignition switch electrical connector.
5. Rotate ignition key lock cylinder to RUN position, then remove two screws retaining ignition switch.
6. Disconnect ignition switch from actuator.
7. Reverse procedure to install, noting the following:

1. If necessary, move switch slightly back and forth to align mounting holes with column mounting holes.
2. Activate air bag system.
3. Ensure proper operation of ignition switch in all positions.

It is located on the circuit board inside the fuse box. To know more about the fuses of your car refer to the diagram at this link: https://www.autogenius.info/ford-expedition-2003-2006-fuse-box-diagram/

Hardware store or lock Smith can set you up with your listlist

In some large cars like yours you can remove the rear seat back and open a plate that gives access to the trunk. Depending on your car if it is just a small access panel you will have to go on a fishing expedition with a magnet attached to a rod of some sort to fish them out.

Please state the problem, it is extremely unlikely the fuse is the issue.

first time it was a blown fuse; second time just jiggled stuff around and it started suggests a short circuit but where could take week to track down without, or a few minutes with specialist kit.

you can get guide from many sites.. i know few error codes/ fault codes, wiring diagrams, schematic diagrams, torque specs, engine info, switches f unctioning, assemble, disassembly, complete refurbish, repair, installation every single thing is covered within seconds u can get the access and it's totally illustrative complete

There's a website that has all this information about all this and manuals everything totally free there are many actually but I personally like few like.. reliable-store .. let me know if u need help thanks

Broken rocker arms makes me suspect there has been piston/valve contact and that is usually a consequence of losing the valve timing due to timing chain/timing belt problems. When that disaster happens it doesn't often lock up the crank so it is possible basic problem was a lack of oil supply causing the seizure of the crank, camshaft or both. Certainly dismantling and examination should be carried out with forensic precision...

The fuel pressure might be low, that is normally caused by a defective fuel pump. Since you changed the pump does it have the pressure bar reading as the old one. If it's the same reading probably you might have been supplied with a defective product. Remove the return pipe and crank the vehicle, if nothing comes out from the return pipe then your fuel pump is definitely a problem

Take it to a qualified repair shop

test switch for failure

Why do you want to change the BCM ? What problems are you having ? Your best bet , have a qualified technician hook up a scanner an read code's .Your vehicle doesn't even have a BCM . Module Controlled Functions The multifunction modules consist of the following:

• air suspension module
• driver door module (DDM)
• lighting control module (LCM)

The air suspension module is linked to its own data link connector (DLC). The air suspension module controls the air suspension system and the electronic variable orifice (EVO) steering. The DDM is connected to the international standards organization (ISO) 9141 communication network. The DDM controls many functions including power door locks and remote keyless entry (RKE). The LCM is connected to the ISO 9141 communication network. The LCM controls both interior and exterior lighting, backlighting, the battery saver and warning chimes. Do yourself a favor an take it to a qualified repair shop.

Many times this is a switch in the trunk. This switch is mounted in the left side of the trunk and is next to an air suspension switch if you have air ride. The switch is called an inertia switch and has a reset button on it. Just press and hold the switch and it will reset and connect the power to the fuel pump.

Principles of Operation The windshield wiper motor receive inputs from the following:

• multifunction switch
• lighting control module (LCM)
• ignition switch
• battery junction box (BJB)
• central junction box (CJB)

The following components are integrated into the windshield wiper motor:

• windshield wiper motor module
• high/low speed relay
• run/park sensor (Hall effect)
• washer pump relay

High Speed Windshield Wipers High speed is activated when the multifunction switch supplies ground to the windshield wiper motor module inputs. The windshield wiper motor module then supplies ground to the run/park sensor and high/low relay coil, activating the relay with voltage supplied from the ignition switch (RUN/ACC) through the central junction box (CJB). When the windshield wiper motor module receives voltage from the run/park sensor, it removes ground from the run/park sensor, deactivating it. The windshield wiper motor continues to operate from voltage connected through the run/park sensor until the Hall effect senses the magnet in the motor. When the Hall effect senses the magnet in motor the windshield wiper motor returns to the park position, the internal run/park sensor grounds the windshield wiper motor module input and the windshield wiper motor module removes ground from the windshield wiper high/low relay coil, deactivating the high/low relay and windshield wiper motor. The windshield wiper motor module continues to cycle the windshield wipers until the inputs from the multifunction switch are changed from the high speed position. Low Speed Windshield Wipers Low speed is activated when the multifunction switch supplies a specific ground to the speed inputs of the windshield wiper motor module. The windshield wiper motor module then supplies ground to only the windshield wiper run/park relay coil, activating it. When the windshield wiper run/park relay is activated, the deactivated windshield high/low relay connects voltage to the windshield wiper motor low input activating the wiper motor. The windshield wiper motor module continues to operate the windshield wiper motor in the same manner as in high speed, but in low speed with the wiper motor connected to the low speed input. Intermittent Speed Windshield Wipers The intermittent wiper speed is activated with grounds controlled by the multifunction switch inputs to the windshield wiper motor module. The windshield wiper motor module then activates the windshield wiper run/park relay coil and switches voltage through the windshield wiper high/low relay. The high/low relay remains deactivated, supplying the voltage to the wiper motor low speed input and activates the windshield wiper motor. When the windshield wiper motor module receives the grounded input, the motor continues to operate until Hall effect sensors senses the wiper motors magnet, which turns off the run/park sensor output to the windshield wiper run/park software, deactivating the relay and disconnecting voltage to the wiper motor. The windshield wipers remain parked until the windshield wiper motor module completes a time-out and then repeats the intermittent windshield wiper cycle. Washer System The windshield washer is activated by the internal wiper motor module when it receives a ground from the multifunction switch between the washer input. Dependent on the correct ground, the internal wiper motor modules activates the windshield washer relay (internal) by grounding the respective relay coil. When the relay is activated, it connects voltage to the washer pump while the washer level switch provides ground to the washer pump. Default Mode The windshield wiper motor defaults to this mode when the run/park sensor does not sense the hall effect magnet inside wiper motor. This can be caused by obstruction of the windshield wipers or a binding linkage. The windshield wiper motor will continue to operate in a high/low speed condition for a period of 60 seconds.

Bypass it? The computer needs that information in order to run the transmission. There's NO way you can bypass it and still shift.

Take the spedo cable loose from the transmission and pull the flex cable out. Then use some lithium grease to coat the cable and reinstall the cable.
