Locate the starter on your Ford Expedition. Trace the positive battery cable until it splits. One branch of the cable will travel
to the alternator and the other will go to the starter, which is about
half the size of a football. The starter is made of two cylindrical

can also look under your Expedition as well as under the air-intake
manifold.
Use a floor jack and jack stands to raise the Expedition if
the starter is located under the engine. Prop up one side of the frame
by the front driver's-side door with the jack and place a jack stand to
support the frame. Repeat the process for the front passenger side. Make
sure all four legs of each jack stand are resting on the ground.
Disengage the negative battery cable on the Expedition. This
rules out the chance of electrocution and also disengages the battery
from the cooling fan, which sometimes can turn on even if the vehicle is turned off.
