"Heat spot" on a New F Expedition
Hi, I hope someone can help. I have a new ( 2 weeks old ) Ford 2005
Expedition. The dealer is 50 miles away and I don't have a day to take off to go there..so I am hoping someone can give me some assistance. In the rear, passenger side, cargo area of the Expedition, the plastic side-wall, about ten inches up, has a "hot spot" . I noticed it because I had an umbrella leaning up against it, and when I picked up the umbrella, it was hot to the touch. Sure enough, the plastic feels like there is a small furnace underneath it. There is NOTHING ( except hidden connections ) that is anywhere near this area. The only other clue I have is that I don't believe that the rear window defrosters ( electric) work very well. Any ideas? Thanks vm RichG manager, Carolina Skiff Owners Group on MSN http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffOwners .. |

Do you have the rear heat/air conditioning system? The area
you described is near the location of the rear heater core. I suggest you ask your question to the members of the Expedition Owner's Group Mailing List - see http://xpog.com/mailman/listinfo/expedition_xpog.com Ed White RichG wrote: > > Hi, I hope someone can help.

Bill,
On my 2003 the A/C Evaporator (and therefore the heater core) is on the passenger side. Regards, Ed White Big Bill wrote: > > On Tue, 08 Feb 2005 10:42:33 -0500, "C. E.

Looks like you guys have answered my question. You saved me a 100 mile
round trip to the dealer for a non-existent problem. I DO have a rear heater/&a/c and I DID have it on the last time I noticed the "heat problem. Thanks very much RichG TX C. E.
