05 Excursion 4X4
 

My 4 wheel drive wouldnt engage yesterday.... turn the knob and no light comes on and no 4 wheel drive :mad: tried manually to lock them in and nothing either... any advice other than to bring it in and yell at the dealer? 22K miles.... 6.0 PSD.

...Ford...

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

1. Check the fuse

2. Go to all the Ford schools and buy the body diag computer for this vehicle.

3. Have Ford fix it under warranty.

Of all of them, #2 is probably not the best. Plus, if you dck with it and toast something expensive, you'll have to talk your way out of it with the Ford warranty rep.

Fuses were fine and it worked the day before perfectly. With the rain here over the weekend, I went through a HUGE puddle right brfore I tried to use it and I think something shorted out....

Dealer said the motor that engages my front differential was in pieces? He was holding part of it in his hand.... Is this right? I find it hard to believe this motor is located in a spot where it can be broken? WTF? :mad:



(insert Sean H/TSG joke here :rolleyes: )

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

On mine I've had a bad ground cause all sorts of electrical problems, dash lights, climate control, radio failures and also Excursions had a torque converter recall (did this one causing tranny problems). My Ranger 04 had the same problem with 4wheel drive not engaging. I'll look for the invoice to see what they fixed under warrenty.... :cool:

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

When did the Ex have a TC campaign? What years covered? Do you have a #?

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

Mine was the motor that engages the front differential when the switch is turned to 4WD. A rock must have kicked up and rattled around ABOVE the skid plate and hit the diff. motor. The motor was in pieces. Just a freak thing. Took them 4 hours to figure out had happened. No warranty :mad: They also did 3 or 4 recalls....

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

I'll look it up when at the office sure it covered 04 and 05 6.0 PSD's though the letter came around last Aug/Sept. time frame.

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

loose nut behind the wheel? :D

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

Pleeeze...a rock???....must be some other cause....how about this....your hammered and drove in reverse over something like stick or metal sign and it came from behind up above the skid plate blasting the motor....it is quite evident your not the worlds best driver under these conditions :eek:

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

Freak occurance or not; I wonder if the dealer submitted a warranty claim with Ford without telling you to get a double bill. :mad:

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

hammered?... I gave up that stuff after barfing on the plane ride back from KW :eek: :eek:

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

Where you not the dirt dealer at one time prior to activator death squad.....yea ok....and a rock didn't do it....ok...just another example of whitey fleecing america....nothing further your honor :drink:

Re: 05 Excursion 4X4
 

After further inspection ... I found it to be a homemade spike strip :evilb: probably made in South Jersey.... I didnt think there was anything under that picnic table :evilb:
