Great Job as usual ERIC. The Only Suggestion I have is I think you should pick up a vehicle power supply. 5 or 6 amp maintainer would probably do fine, I say this because I see you killing allot of car batteries, lol. A brand spakin new car battery gets killed 1 time half its life is gone. So I think popping a power supply onto vehicles that come into your shop would be a excellent idea. Especially the ones where your diagnosing wire issues and such, where the ignition and\or doors are open for an extended amount of time while your diagnosing and repairing. Plus a almost dead battery can easily skew your testing. Most if not all pcm's will go into a low power mode when battery voltage gets low, which causes the computer to shut down anything unnessesary for vehicle movement. Kinda like a limp mode. Ive seen cars shut down abs systems, radio, etc. So, your videos are great and I've watched 98% of them so far and I rarely think of a comment to say because your so thorough. LOL. Your a damn good mechanic man. I love hearing you talk about your child hood days because I had allot in common with you when I was younger. I use to work on, take apart and modify riding lawn mowers too. My friends and family still bring that up when we get together, lol. I use to pull the blade deck off of em and soup em up in a matter of speaking. I even had the mower you mentioned with the 5 or 6in tires I think they were, lol. If you only lived in Wisconsin. lol Well, I will stop rambling, but I just wanted to toss the idea out there of using a power supply on some of the vehicles your working on to prevent battery death, lol. Keep up the good work boss, your video's are bad ass!

Thanks for video. I just replaced my driver side on a 2004 Ford Expedition. Window just fell overnight. Quite easy to do, altho I did run across one missing ingredient using a new Dorman 740-178 regulator. the window clips were not included. Being a novice, I didn't even realize those needed to be removed from my old one. or purchased. It appears your replacement had them already? I stopped vid at initial install and noticed those clips were on. Still. saved me 's. Pretty easy.

Does anyone have a solution to window bounce back on a 2010 Navigator? Nothing seems to work. We have tried everything we know.
The problem began when my mechanic replaced the window assembly. It has us baffled. I would take it to the local Lincoln dealer but I would probably not be allowed to leave without giving them the title.

Fordtechmakuloco also has a video on doing this same thing. Pretty much the same. He has a couple extra pointers that might come in handy if you are doing this yourself. All he does is Fords so it might be worth a look. Always enjoy Eric O's videos. Easy to watch, good camera stability and excellent verbal explanations.

I am to the point where I am going to convert these damn things to manual crank windows. Both driver side windows are malfunctioning and the rear window that pulls up separate from the whole deck, the hinges broke and now it leaks. I HAVE HAD IT MESSING WITH THE WINDOWS IN MY EXPEDITION!

hey Eric i have a 2005 Expedition and the drivers side window will not roll up or down. before it stopped had to help the window up to close wondering if its the motor or the regulator. Watched the video about replacing the regulator but did not answer my question. Thanks Eric McL.

What I don't understand is why wasn't it just a bad motor? What was the regulator doing that was slowing the window movement? Couldn't you just lube the inner door tracks of the regulator instead of replacing it with a new unit?

Why didn't you think it was necessary to let us know what size sockets you were using on this supposedly information on how to replace the regulator? More views more money. Be informative while you do this video.

No silicone where the glass sits on the regulator? My 04 has it and I plan on putting some back with the new regulator. My guess is this 08 has it as well. And you didnt put any mr expert.

What brilliant mind designed that cluster you know what? Man! It's a conspiracy to make mechanics lives miserable. You did a bang up job on it nevertheless. Thanks for the video.
