Ford Excursion :: No Start - Gauge Cluster Warning Lights Staying On

Well I have got a 2000 Excursion with v10 that I've been having some electrical problems with lately. All started with a no start issue and gauge cluster warning lights staying on along with fuel and volt gauges reading without the keys being in the ignition. Took it in to the dealership to get looked at and they are saying it needs a new fuse box and gem module put in it. Was also told that it is an obsolete part and gonna be tricky trying to find the correct one for my truck as it needs to be identical to what my truck has as options. Is there any other places out there making new ones or fixing gem modules? Dealership pretty much told me if they can't find a new gem module for it that the truck is pretty much dead in the water.

Ford Excursion :: Gauge Cluster And Climate Control Lights Out

My Gauge Cluster and Climate Control lights are out. Both still function properly. The mileage is light up and the turn singles work, the dummy lights even light up but when the headlights come on, the gauges don't illuminate. Same goes for the climate control; it works and the display is good but the buttons don't light up.

I replaced the headlight switch was I wasn't getting power to the light blue/red wire on the dimmer side. (Dr. Google told me to do this) Both failed at the same time so I'm thinking it is not a bulb issue. What to chase next?

Ford Excursion :: Overheating When Warms Up / Gauge Start To Go Up

Last fall I flushed and changed out my water pump, Thermostat, Coolant Temperature sensor, and coolant reservoir. My 2001 Excursion ran find all fall and winter long. This year I changed out the Fan clutch.

Problem: when it warms up and drive well for a while than the gauge start to go up and start staying its overheating. The weird thing is when I turn on the A/C it brings the temperature back down. When its in gear and running without the A/C it creeps up to almost the red. I cleaned the Radiator and made sure it was clean but it still does the same thing. On top of that, the upper hose (when the car is turned off) seem to colapse slightly.

Other than getting it professional Flushed I don't know. The coolant has nothing to do with the Radiator? I'm pretty much stump with it.

Ford Excursion :: No Start / Only Click - Lights Don't Even Dim

I have a 2000 ex 7.3 and a couple of days ago I had the batteries die on me. Quick boost and it fired right up, drove it around for the rest of the day no issues at all. Yesterday I had a really hard time with the first start of the day, turned over slowly, but caught itself and fired up. I plugged in my OBDII adapter and fired up Torque on my phone and saw that I had 14.3 V about 30 seconds after the truck started. Took my father to pick up his car about 10 mins away, shut the truck off, and again, it turned over slow, was a hard start.

Drove it around for about 45 mins after that and everything seemed great. Today it won't even start...the WTS light comes on, everything sounds and seems normal, then when I go to start the truck it just "clicks"...Turn the headlights on and try to start it, and the lights don't even dim. So I checked and cleaned the battery cables and the starter cable...still no start. What it might be? I'm hoping that its a ground somewhere but wouldn't know where to being looking..

Ford Excursion :: Truck Won't Start - All Lights And Power Comes On?

the wifey went out to the Ex this morning to make a coffee run and came right back in. "truck won't start" hands me the keys. So I go out there and turn key, ALL lights and power comes on but when you try and crank it there's a tiny 'click' and then NOTHING AT ALL. Alternator's brand new and so is the battery (less than 2 months old).

Ford Excursion :: 2000 V10 Won't Start / Interior Lights Blinking

Truck is a 2000 Excursion, V10 4x4 auto about 160k miles. Tried searching couldn't find anything relevant The problem is it wont start, not even a solenoid click, and the interior lights are blinking as if they were hooked to the turn signals (steady blinking and you can hear/feel the relay in the fusebox clicking). Turning on the key, hazard flashers or headlights makes the blinking go away, turning them back off starts it up again.

The blinking also effects the power windows (the windows go up about 1 inch at a time in time with the blinks). Hitting the panic button on the keyfob causes the horn to go off very faintly in time with the blinking. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery did nothing. Checked all the fuses, they were all fine, the #1 and #2 position relays (the ones in the fusebox) are clicking in time with the blinking. The truck started doing this suddenly and with no warning (no dead batteries, jump starts or anything recently).

Ford Excursion :: No Signal / Flasher / Brake Lights - Truck Is Too Week To Start

My 2000 Excursion 7.3 Limited started something all new this week. No brake lights, signal lights or flashers. The signal flasher relay is only a couple months old, but I don't think that's the issue. If I sit for just a moment with door open or park lights on, the truck is too week to start. Batteries seem fine and ALT is 14 volt charging when running (ALT replaced with used ALT about a month ago). Further, it has started having long starts like the glow plugs are not cycling. Any clue as to what might be going on?

Ford Excursion :: How To Repair Overhead MPG Gauge

Today the little guage in the over head went dark. So I came to FTE to search out the repair solution, but I'm having issues. What is that thing actually called? I've read it referenced as the lie-o-meter, but I cannot seem to find a good thread relating to various repairs to it.

Ford Excursion :: Gas Gauge And Lie-o-meter Not Synchronized

I notice, that once I hit 1/4 tank. Either my lie-o-meter or gas gauge is accurate. The gauge will be showing just under 1/4 tank and the meter will show twenty miles. I'm thinking about dropping the tank and replacing the fuel lever assembly. I stopped by autozone put they couldn't find a part number. What is the part number?

Ford Excursion :: Installing 3 In 1 GlowShift Gauge

I am in the process of installing this gauge and I am having a heck of a time finding the right power points at the fuse box. The gauge requires both a switched 12v power supply and a constant 12v power supply. I am going to use one of the power outlets as the switched supply but cannot determine a constant supply without running wire all the way to the battery. Wiring and electrical stuff is just not my forte!

Ford Excursion :: 2001 - Fog Lights Quit Working With Parking Lights On

I have a 2001 Excursion, 6.8 V10, with the factory fog lights.

The fog lights worked fine, until a few days ago until they suddenly stopped working when just the parking lights are on.

I can still pull out the switch, the indicator light does not come on but the parking lights still work. When I turn it to the headlight position with the switch pulled out everything comes on and works like it should.

I tried checking the fuses but I didn't see one labeled in the manual for the fog lights so I don't know for sure which one to check. Could I possibly have a bad switch?

Ford Excursion :: Overhead Trip Gauge Has No Power

What powers the overhead trip/compass/MPG gauges? Mine won't light up, and I'm lost.

The story: This unit has been out since before I bought it. Initially, I didn't give it too much thought. I was more interested in replacing tie rods and the lock-out hubs. Off and on since the summer, I've been thinking about it. In the fall, I started messing with it. I tried locating a fuse, but they all "seem" fine, unless I'm looking at the wrong one. I gave up, decided it was a dead unit, and went hunting.

In my grand fortune, I bought a replacement front grille for my Ex, as mine was cracked. The seller and I had a long conversation about our Ex's, and it led to him giving me a perfectly functional display. He bought the complete overhead unit for parts, didn't need the computer. I paid nothing for it, the guy was awesome. Despite his awesomeness, he said his 7.3L had only 152k, which may lead to a powertrain robbery in the night (j/k).

Today, I went out, dropped the console, popped and swapped the displays, still nothing. Sad faced, I hit my head on the steering wheel and came in for more coffee. It's snowing, again, and I'm not back tracking the entire system if someone here knows the hot spots or common faults of this display.

If you know anything that may be of some use, pictures, fuse slots, relay info. I know this v10 is a gasser, but I'd really like to see how bad it is.

Ford Excursion :: Gas Gauge Not Functioning / Code U1262

Last time I filled up was Friday and the gas gauge hasn't moved. When I shut the Ex off it goes back to the bottom so I know the needle isn't stuck. I'm also getting a code u1262 from the instrument cluster that wasn't there last time I checked so I'm assume it's related. Where to start troubleshooting?

Ford Excursion :: Fuel Gauge Is Not Working / No Cruise Control?

My fuel gauge is not working, nor is the cruise control, Had the truck looked at, was told the cruise was not working due to the fuel gauge not working?

Also when he hooked it up was told the dash gauge worked fine and the computer showed 60% which would have been about right based on mileage on the tank. My guess is that I need a sending unit?

Ford Excursion :: No Reading At Oil Gauge And Temp Light Is On When Very Cold

I have a 2001 Excursion Limited V10. 146000 miles 2 wheel drive. I have had it about a year and this is my first winter to really have experience with her.

When the outside temperature is very cold and the engine is cold from sitting all night, at start up, the oil pressure gauge reads nothing and the oil pressure/temp idiot light is on. Only does this during the first very cold start up or after sitting and engine getting very cold again.

I can drive just a short distance (2 blocks) and both gauge and light go to normal and stay there for the rest of my drive. I am using a quality 5/20 oil and filter and the level is good. Warmer days it has never happened. Truck runs fine, smooth idle, no "limp mode". She has not had any recent work done. All the other dash gauges read fine.

There is something about really cold temperatures that have to be causing the issue , I think. ??
