Its a misalignment of the gears in the rear differential. You need to get it realigned before you create a more severe problem. Dont let them tell you you need to replace the whole axle because they all have that possible defect. It happens even in the Crown Vics, etc. Just a simple, same day thing that the dealer can fix. Its been an ongoing issue with Ford since 2003 so they know the problem is there.
Please Help
happeded about two years ago and then about a year ago.
Thanks Highplainsjoe
An electrical short has developed that has disabled the window / wiper motor and the ignition interlock switch.
Fuse replacement initially held for 48 hours. Subsequent fuse replacements have shorted upon replacement
Service technician states it is not the gem module that their is a short within the wiring system
Any body else have similar problems
Thanks,

I have a 2003 Eddie Bauer Expy 4x4. When the truck is warmed up and been driven during the day enough, the tranny clunks into 1st gear on the downshift from a slow brake at 20mph. Only happens when its been driven enough and well warmed up. I know its not suppossed to clunk into 1st gear on the downshift but when i brought it to the dealer (in the early morning) of course it didnt do it. And i have a feeling the dealership wont find a problem so i am asking if anyone else has this happened and found what the issue was??
Thanks guys :confuse:
To unstick the brakes, I'd almost have to floor the accelerator pedal. Make sure your other foot is on the brake pedal, ready to slam it down when you start moving suddenly. It's a little scary doing this inside a garage. Make sure your wheels are straight, and no one is standing nearby!!!
Thanks!
Any suggestions on what to say to dealer/service to get these things fixed? I have 100K warranty. Thanks in advance. Love the truck otherwise (except for 14.2 mpg!).
i have a 2003 EB also with 43k miles on it and a full warrenty. I have the same problem with it pulling to the right. . . kinda feels, when out of any 4wd, like the steering may be a bit playful. . . i dont get any clanking noises though YET . . .just waiting for that to happen. . could be a shock problem. Lemme know what you find out. . thanks.
Any clue on what it may be??? Thought it could either be the ball joints or something actually in the rack and pinion steering. Most likely think its the ball joints. Anyone have the same problem or figure out what it is??
:confuse:
Anyone with similar situations?? Would love some input before i bring it in. :confuse:
Both sound messed up. Idle should be around 650 in park and 550 in gear. 1000 rpm is too high for idle.

Unfortunately, there was no followup to specify the cause or the cure. Has anyone else had the problem?
