2003 Ford Expedition 5.4 liter Eddie Bauer has an electrical short that flashes on the dash gauges with no particular sequence. The red flashing alarm appears as a "check charging system" display and is accompanied by loud beeping. This began over a year ago infrequently (once a month), since mid September 2010, more recently (daily). No discernable change in battery drainage or other electrical issues. I have grave concern about the self-starting fire problem the 2003 Ford Expedition is widely known for.

the heater bypass is quite simple, if you look at the firewall you will see two medium sized coolant lines, remove them from the firewall and link them together using a proper sized tube, you can purchase a kit at a parts store quite cheaply

the wire on the door latch make sure they are plugged in or unplug it and the light should go out if it does not then it's not that door

SOURCE: Location of Shift Solenoid in 1999 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer?

They are round "cans" with wires attached. You should have SSA, SSB, SSC, Torque converter and Pressure Control solenoids. They control pressures and have no mechanical linkage.

Take the vehicle to any local auto parts store that will read the codes. WRITE THEM DOWN, and report back here for further help.
