Tap on the odometer and it appears again.
Happens on a random basis.
Any fixes for it yet? :confuse:
Thanks I plan on doing just that....thanks for your help

Seems there are 2 Hall Effect sensors on the rear axle that sense speed. They replaced the first one and a different code appeared...still the 4x4 light flashed.
So they replaced the second sensor...and problem is gone.
Each sensor is about $53. Seemed to make sense, at 110.000 miles, to replace both so I wouldn't risk future problems between the 2 of them on the same circuit.
thanks
completely with rebuild and now claims the remaining problem is the wonderful OEM tires that Ford provides.
The vehicle's only other problem in first 37,000 miles has been a loud clanging noise on hills a couple of times from what the Ford dealer believes is bad fuel (maybe from the hurricanes?)
Overall lots of good performance from this vehicle, good running 5.4L, 260 hp, nice tranny upgade for 2004. Decent day to day mileage from 5.4L 2V engine given the 5,720 lbs for the 2004 NBX. Nice handling from stock off-road NBX setup. Newer 20.5-1 steering ratio in 2004 and up models pleasant to drive while being plenty quick. (2003 FX4 Expedition was too quick for me at 17.1 with R&P steering)
Again lots of performance,value, vehicle life, and brakes nd towing ability. And, best of all gasoline is $1.95/ gallon at least for now! Ha!
P.s. For NV BANKER--old FX4 now NBX
The air bag does not return. Fix is about $150 at dealership to clean up solenoids, I believe they said. That was what was wrong with mine.

Dealers suck!
I just replaced the battery on my expedition and started getting these jerking motion on my expedition and now my wife calls me and told me that the Service Engine light is on. did you get get any luck with yours..
I took it to the dealer, who ran diagnostics on it. Diagnostics came back with lean fuel mixture on both banks of cylinders. They took a sample of fuel from the tank, and concluded that the fuel was contaminated (i.e. bad fuel). The Ford Dealer was quick to point to the gas station where I got the fuel (Gulf) and said that some service stations will mix either diesel or kerosene in with the gasoline fuel because it is cheaper.
Ford dealer changed my oil, drained my tank, reset my Service Engine soon light, and gave me $20 worth of gas....all for the bargain price of $396.
Personally, I think the Service Mgr. at the dealer is the crooked one. I think the lean fuel is an indicator that a fuel sensor is bad and the car is compensating by making the mixture too lean. Good luck.
I took it to local Ford dealership (Irvine, CA) and they said that "heater rear blend door" is stuck. They mentioned that it is a kind of motor that switch form heating to cooling. They replaced "aux. blend door actuator" and charged me $420 for it.
At the beginning of December 2005 (a little less than 6 months later) clicking started again. I took it in yesterday, and they wanted to charge me again since the warranty on that part is 12 months or 12,000 miles and I had 15,000 miles since I did the work.
So, be careful, ask how long the part/repair work would last! :mad:
Anyone getting this?
Sorry I have no solutions. But I am sharing in the same agony. I also have a 03 making the same noise. Only thing is; the gas tank is made of a plastic. But I swear the sudden pop sounds metallic.
My wife wrote a website called texascardoctor.com. A guy named skeeter gave a list of possibilities. First he thought the gas tank may be getting sucked in by the vacuum that the fuel pump puts on it while driving. This he said could be caused by a bad emissions valve associated with the fuel vapor return system or possibly a bad gas cap. Secondly, he thought that maybe the exhaust system is cooling down and causing the noise when it cools off. Possibly the muffler or catalytic converter contracting. If a locking gas cap has been installed it could cause this problem.
Skeeter suggested taking the Expedition in to a shop and listen to the noise with the mechanic. But you and I know that this sound is too unpredictable. Another suggestion was to have someone look underneath the vehicle after it has been driven enough to act up and see if the gas tank is sucked in. He said it would be real noticeable if this were the problem.
Personally, I like the bad emissions valve theory. I just have to figure out what and where it is considering there are no hanes manuals available yet. Hope this was helpful in some way. If we figure out the problem and get it fixed we will let you know the results. Good luck!

Thank you
Cath :confuse:

Check the antifreeze overflow tank

Has anyone experencied this???
