One would think that this should be a fifteen minute job. Boy, was i wrong. Went to NAPA to get a flat 4 kit for the Expedition. Gave them the model and year. They didn,t have one in stock,and said wasn,t any available at the warehouse. HUH?. But would sell me a dust covered universal kit that i could hotwire in. off his shelf. I politely moved on. Went to Carquest. they weren,t sure of what i needed exactly. so they asked me to try somewhere else as they can,t afford to pay shipping on a part that i don,t need and send back. HUH? I called the Ford dealer to get the exact part needed. Even if it was thru them. They said that they are required to put in full trailer packages only, not just the kit i wanted. And that would be spendy for what i want. He then gave me a number of a small repair shop run by a former employee that went on his own that he recomended. Said guy will fix me rite up and know what to get and do. He said that the hook up is there up in the paneling and could be on either side and if it has amber turn signals it may be a different hookup aswell. It ends up being two blocks from the wifes work so I will have him take care of it during her day. And guess where he is getting the kit thru. NAPA wharehouse catalog . Good Grief!!! Took four businesses, 2 hrs to get this done. And people wonder why there businesses fail. THUMBS UP to the independent guy who went on his own from Ford. Country needs more like him.
