Front doors work fine, back left lock will operate manually, right back lock is stuck down and the door won't open. I'm more concerned about that door, so any suggestions on how to proceed? I'd like to fix it myself if possible, but honestly don't know how they operate so thought I would ask...

My heat no longer works in my 1999 Ford Explorer. But the A/C works real well. What could be the problem and is this an expensive problem to fix?

My 2002 Explorer V-8 with about 30,000 miles started blinking the 4X4 LOW and 4X4 HIGH indicators a few days ago. They blink in unison 3 times every 2 minutes. I've searched the internet and this group and found this is not uncommon. Most others report 5 or 6 blinks every 2 minutes however. Do...

I have a 1991 explorer with automatic locking hubs. When I switch from 4H to 2H, there is a very loud grinding noise when driving forward. If I disengage the hubs by backing up, then the sounds goes away. It also sometimes does it when I drive forward in 4H. I noticed it started after I was...

I get a terrible lot of noise in my radio so I purchased a Noise Suppressor from J.C. Whitney and now have to figure out how to install it. I need to access the radio wiring. Can't quite figure out the most logical way of doing it and don't want to just blindly begin tearing off dash and console...

Hi all, Who publishes the best, "must have" service guide for the Explorer? Chilton? Someone else?

Does your Explorer / Mountaineer let you warm the air at all when set to "MAX A/C"? Mine will in the regular A/C mode, but not in MAX A/C mode... it's 100% cold even with the heat dial turned all the way up.

I just read a thread from all the way back in 2003 that speaks on the same exact problem I am having now!!! I have been having the issue for a minute now; but seeing as though I am not in the position (financially) to take my truck to the dealership everytime something goes wrong with it, I guess...

OK. I am gonna guess that this question has been posted in the past, but I can't find it so here goes.... 1991 Ford Explorer Auto 4X4 EB I have been told that the tranny in it is "not the greatest". I don't have enough tools or skills to go to a C4 or "other" option. I could probably R&R the 4ALD...

I have a 2000 V8 Explorer. All of a sudden today, the 'check engine light' came on and it is idling rough. I have also noticed a decrease in acceleration and there is a gassy/oil smell when I get out of the car. Any ideas as to what is wrong. It only has 60k miles. Thanks

Won't pass smog do with transmission

I have a 95 Explorer with the one and only 4.0L engine offered that year. When I start the car I get a momentary grinding noise which I am sure is the starter gear not retracting quickly enough. So I need a new starter. Last night as I turned the ignition it cranked for a second and then...

My son is looking at a 1998 Explorer which has the 4.0L OHV V6 engine (not the SOHC). It looks and runs great except for one thing. When the engine starts there is a squeal that lasts about a second. I've heard this noise on other Fords but have never know the cause. I asked the owner and he...

I have a 95 Explorer with 245000 miles on it. My son decided to take it four wheeling last wheel and fried the clutch while changing gears on a steep ascent. Now both him and I will have the pleasure of learning how to replace a clutch. I've started doing some preliminary research and it appears...

At what model year did the Explorer have a standard CD player/ AM/FM Stereo as opposed to the standard Cassette player? My son is driving a 95 XLT with the cassette and would like the CD. I'm thinking I could pick up a CD big button version from a salvage yard. Mark

I have a high mileage 95 Explorer which I now only use for biking and camping trips. These trips usually take me through the mountains of Colorado. Lately and consistently the check engine light has been going on and off as I drive through the mountains making significant elevation changes. ...

I have a 95 Explorer with 245000 miles used manily by my 17 year son. Recently he decided to take it out off-roading and completely burned out the clutch. I told him the only way it was getting fixed is if we did all of the work ourselves. It took many hours of work but we got it done and it has...

Good afternoon. Any recommendations for an online source for Ford OEM parts? I found one that claims to have the parts that I need ("newfordparts-dot-com"), but I have no idea about their reputation. Thanks -Mark

Good evening. I have a 1998 Ford Explorer V6 with 172k miles. The original alternator failed in November, and I replaced it with a "premium" rebuilt alternator from NAPA. (The "premium" designation means that they install a new rectifier instead of a "good used" recitifier. I considered this an...
