Expedition electric steering column failure
Summary of the thread
The electric steering column adjustment in a 2022 Ford Expedition failed, displaying an error and becoming unresponsive. Initial checks of the fuses visually showed no issues, but further investigation suggested a possible wiring problem. It was recommended to meter the fuses and inspect for loose connections. Ultimately, the issue was resolved by addressing a faulty connector, which required professional repair.

Meter them? Nah, just a visual. I'll try the meter thing tomorrow. As for wiggling wires, which ones specifically? There's a whole mess of them under there! I don't want to go yanking on the wrong bundle and make things worse.

Okay, definitely meter the fuses. Visual isn't enough these days. And yeah, fishing around blindly isn't ideal. However, given the stored error and lack of movement, a defective cable or plug connection sounds right. You're probably looking at a trip to a workshop, unfortunately. They'll be able to pinpoint the exact wiring fault.

Ugh, that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the input! Dropped it off this morning. Turns out it WAS a dodgy connector. 95€ later and she's good to go!

Yeah, I've seen that issue pop up before. When you say you checked the fuses, did you actually meter them, or just eyeball it? Sometimes they can look fine but still be toast. Also, have you tried wiggling the wires under the dash while trying to adjust the column? Could be a loose connection. Does it feel loose at all?
