I have a 2007 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD. I noticed that my radiator overflow container was empty. I filled it up about an inch below the "Hot Level". I drove 70 miles in 100 degree weather, so I thought I would check it again when it was hot. The overflow container was empty again, even though the...

Anyone have a schematic or where to obtain one for the Mach radio in 1998-2000 Ford Radio? I seem to have lost power to the Rt. side speakers . The wiring is good( have checked it with a borrowed radio and system works. I need to track back through the radio, without "pick and poke" on a...

I just bought a 98 Explorer Sport. The oil pressure gauge reads exactly dead center all the time the engine is running, whether at 600RPM or 4000RPM. Is this normal? This is my first Ford and I every other car I've owned showed some fluctuation in oil pressure with varying engine speed. Thanks in...

At times, my '97 explorer will just spin over and over. I found that if I wiggle the crankshaft speed sensor on the front of the motor, my car will start right up. This sensor only has 1.5 v running to it, so a little corrosion will cause a problem Good luck!!! Jeff "Jim Boone"...

Hey there. Is there something called a kick down or kick back? I think it is malfunctioning because it clunks in reverse and it is really bad. Does anyone know about this?

Thinking about replacing my 1998 XLT with a newer used model. Any good year or bad year models to avoid? Personal opinion on used fleet vehicles (rental)? TIA richard

Group, My '02 Explorer XLT w/ 32k miles on it has recently started to occasionally show an empty fuel tank and Check Gauge light, when the tank has plenty of fuel. The problem is intermittent, although it only started a couple of days ago (so not a lot of background history). Does anyone know if...

2004 Explorer: The rear driver's side window does not open with either the driver's push-button or the rear door's push-button. This problem started last summer. However, during the winter (Chicago suburb), the window would once again open/close. I had no problems with the window until...

Greetings. About the charcoal, it should be interesting to detail the customizing of the coat using up-to-date methodologies as well as the concept of the line differently :-)

Hi! I recently replaced my '94 Explorer with an '05. Lots of things I read say that I can get a Ford wiring harness for my Tekonsha Prodigy and just plug it right in. I tried it this evening, and I can't find where the wiring harness plugs into the Explorer. Could anyone enlighten me? ...

On our last trip, the tire pressure warning light came on. I stopped and took the pressure in each tire and it was above the recommended pressure (tires were warm from freeway driving). After I got back on the freeway, the warning light went out. Periodically it would come back on, then go off...

I have a 1996 XLT V-8 Explorer with 198K. We are now seeing things fail enmasse but just can't find it in ourselves to give up this workhorse of a vehicle. Just recently, the automatic locks are no longer working. It started with the driver's door where the locking mechanism would pull down; it...

I am an Explorer newbie, and need to start working on my '98 XLT. Can't afford $105/hr just to diagnose, more to work on the car, as my local dealers are telling me. I have low to average mechanical skills, but don't take on anything major at all. I have heard about a Ford Explorer servicing...
