Expert Answers about Ford Excursion


  • Troubleshooting Brake Lights and Turn Signals on 2000 Ford Excursion With 7-Way
  • Since everything worked when you hooked up your trailer to another vehicle we know the issue is with your 2000 Ford Excursion. The most likely issue is that you have a blown or missing fuse so check Fuse Location 13 in the Passenger Compartment Fuse Panel and replace as needed. I do recommend checking your owner's manual to confirm this is the location. You will also want to check your Excursion's plug for corrosion, which can be green or white in color. A build-up of corrosion can interfere...

  • Can I Use Two Different Length Axles on a Trailer
  • There will most likely be issues associated with using two different length trailer axles together therefore I recommend you replace the older one with the same dimensions as the one you just had installed. If you were to leave the different length axles on the trailer you could have issues with tracking as well as irregular tire wear patterns. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the use of wheel spacers as these place too much stress on the lug studs. In order to make sure you get the...

  • Does Firestone Ride Rite Kit for 2001 Ford Excursion Require Install of Compressor
  • The Firestone Single Gauge HD Compressor kit part # F2097 would be a great way to monitor air pressure and inflate the bags of the Firestone kit part # F2255 that fits your 2001 Ford Excursion but you do not have to use a compressor at all if you don't want to. You could get by without a compressor at all installed on your vehicle and just inflate the bags at home if you wanted.

  • Does the Orientation of the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller C51180 Matter
  • The orientation of the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 does not matter. We have tested it on vehicles with 7-way's oriented in all different directions and it has performed flawlessly. The range for this device is 50' so as long as your motorhome is not longer than this then there should not be any issues. The 12 volt circuit on the 7-way must be active for this device to work, that is all.

  • Spacers for Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags on a 2003 Ford Excursion with 4 Inch Lift
  • The 2 Firestone spacer kits that you mentioned, # F2371 and # F2370, each fit different types of Firestone Ride-Rite kits. First, style # F2371 fits on Ride-Rite models that mount to the vehicle axle. The other one, # F2370, fits on models that mount to the leaf spring stack. The kit that you have, # F2251, is an axle mounted kit so you would need spacers # F2371. The spacer kit used needs to be same as the amount of lift on the vehicle. So if the ride height increased by 4 inches you...

  • Do I Need to Identify Transmission Cooler lines to Run an Aftermarket Cooler In-Line with Factory
  • You will need to determine the flow of the transmission fluid in order to install the aftermarket cooler in-line with the factory. The fluid needs to travel from the transmission, to the factory cooler, to the aftermarket cooler, then back to the transmission. One of the fittings on your transmission should be marked RETURN. Trace this line back to the factory cooler. Disconnect this line from the factory cooler, and reconnect it to which ever end of the aftermarket cooler you choose...

  • Roof Basket for Mounting Lights and Horns on 2001 Ford Excursion
  • The only thing that comes close to those dimensions is the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket # SPS5084. This measures 84" long x 50" wide x 5" deep. Aside from the length this meets all of your other criteria. You will also need two of the Adapter for Surco Safari Roof Racks # SPCH100 which will allow you to install the basket on your 2001 Excursion. The price is a bit high on the Surco but no other roof basket comes close in size. For a more budget friendly option, we also have...

  • Is the Passenger Side Mirror of the K-Source Towing Mirror for 2000 Ford Excursion Convex
  • The main glass on the passenger side of the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors # KS61095-96F is flat glass so it does not have the, "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" message because the image is not distorted for a wider viewing angle that would make things look closer than they really are.

  • Best Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Setup to Convert Surge Brake Trailer to EOH

This comes with everything needed to upgrade your surge disc brake setup to an electric over hydraulic setup and gives you the most reliable and best performing actuator out there.

  • What Front Mount Hitch Will Fit 2005 Ford Excursion to Carry Agri-Cover SnowSport HD Snow Plow
  • For a front mount hitch for your 2005 Ford Excursion I recommend the Draw-Tite # 65022. Installation of the hitch requires the drilling of two holes that are 5/8-inch, however there is no welding required. This hitch bolts to the rear of your front bumper so for the installation you need to remove your tow hooks and fog lamps, and finally, you will need a torque wrench to secure the included hardware. The installation instructions are attached. I have attached a brief video showing...

  • 2005 Excursion Limited 4x4 Bully Black Bull Side Step Install Recommendation
  • The part # BBS-1103 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2005 Ford Excursion and can only be mounted along the front doors. For a similar set that could be installed anywhere along the doors the # CARR104811-1 would be a similar set that would work great. These are a universal style install that will require you to select the correct mounting location based on the setup of your vehicle. I would recommend you install them around the body support instead of cutting it. I...

  • Does Draw-Tite Activator Brake Controller With no Display Need to be Replaced?
  • It does sound like the display on your Draw-Tite Activator II has gone bad and the unit will need to be replaced. We do not carry the Activator II and I highly recommend upgrading to a proportional brake controller, which is going to give you more efficient braking that decreases the wear on both your trailer and Excursion's brakes. If you have been happy with the Tekonsha brand, they offer a proportional controller, the Brake EVN # TK63VR would be a good option.
