2000 Ford expedition parking pawl, slips out of park and rolls when ignition is off, how can I fix this?
try adjusting the shifter cable it may not be letting the linkage go all the way if you try this and it works that's good if not the transmission pan must be dropped and the spring on the pawl must be either stretched out or changed also you must check the shifter tube on the steering column if it has cracked from not stepping on the brake pedal to get it out of park the shifter cable that's attached to it is not traveling as far as it should because the tube is partially separated and the gearshift lever that you use to change gears is in the right position but the tube has separated and the part where the cable connects on the bottom of the tube is not in the photos here you will see the tube on the top side is where your gear shift lever attaches marked as ^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^
and here is where the shift cable attaches to it on the bottom^^^^^ if the tube is cracked/separated the top is in the right position but the bottom is not because it is twisting & the cable is not pulling the linkage that the pawl is connected to all the way on the transmission arm that could be why your trucks not going in park here's another view
the cable is bolted to the bottom^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^so if there is separation along the tube the cable travel has not completed and transmission is not locked in park this is a very serious problem that you must check now before you do anything else because if the tube breaks all the way you will be stuck somewhere without (a) being able to get it in gear to drive to a garage (b)stuck with it in neutral a sure roll away (c) not being able to start the truck at all ///if ant of these happen you have to stay with the truck till someone can come and grab the cable at the bottom of the steering column while your foot is on the brake so where the truck is now block the wheels and go under the steering column down by the brake pedal and find the cable attached to the bottom part and see if it moves around when you twist it with pliers if it does this is your problem the shifter tube should not move at all if the steering wheel is in the locked position and also the crack/separation may also be visible you can get these from rock auto my favorite parts store online for about $30.00 or from the dealer for about $40-$50 post back with progress and again I stress THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAVE YOU IN A VERY BAD POSITION OR CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT SO PLEASE BLOCK THE WHEELS FRONT & BACK & CHECK THE SHIFTER TUBE NOW! having someone help you is a big +Barbara get somebody to climb under while you hold the brake down or make sure the blocks won't let the car move good luck

Cranks but wont start
Check to see if there is spark. Carefully remove a spark plug wire and connect it to a spark reader and once you make a ground contact you should see spark when you crank the engine. (You will need a helper for this operation) If you don't, plug that one back and remove another one and try the same thing. Still no spark check the coil. Take it to a car shop and they can do a bench test on the coil to see if it works or not. That would be the first thing I would do for the cheapest direction to follow. If the coil is bad replace it and you should be back to normal. Let me know Gabe.

2000 expedition want go in drive but will go in reverse
Need much more detail; however, there is a frequency with this truck to have the set screws loosen for the shift indicator. I had this problem and realigned then tightened. Shifts like new afterwards. There are several videos on Youtube. If its not this then I'd suggest adjusting your shifting cable (cable that runs under dash from steering column to transmission).

2000 ford expedition wont start,security
Your vehicle is equipped with a passive theft deterrent system that utilizes a "pill" embedded in your key along with a receiver contained in the steering column. If the system doesn't recognize your key, the vehicle will crank but not start and the theft light will flash rapidly. If you have another key, try it. Otherwise, you're in for a trip to the dealer where they can either reset the system or troubleshoot it further.
Good luck.
