Explorer was driving okay when I dropped off my son at a friends, put the truck in reverse, backed up then put it into drive, nothing happend. I have changed the tranny fluid and filter but still nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

What is the best way to change oil without flooding the garage floor? Removing the filter seems to be a minor mess, but removing the drain plug results in a spray that bounces off the frame and makes a hell of a mess. Any ideas on how to actually get it into the drain pan, short of leaving the plug...

Can anyone tell me where to find the RABS Diagnostic Connector on a '98 Explorer5.0l engine 2WD? The Chilton manual only shows up to 1997. Thanks.

I have some power mirror problems on my '91 and '97 Explorers. Does anyone know how to take them apart? It is not obvious to me and I have not been able to find any instrucitons anywhere. On my '91 they go up and down but not in and out but that might be the switch, but on my '97 I can hear the...

I just took my new-to-me '94 Explorer on its first backroad trip. It did GREAT! Gravel roads, fording a foot-deep stream, a steep, muddy, rutted road- it handled it all. This is just what I wanted. However, I noticed that on long downhills the temp indicator dropped to cold. I had noticed that the...

I have a 2002 Explorer with 58,000 miles on. I have begun to get the dreaded rear end "whine" that seems to be all too common in this model year. Apparently, according to the dealer, there is nothing wrong with the rear end at this point. However they did diagnose a "rattle" in the torque converter...

I've posted here once or twice before, and I'm hoping that I can rely your expertise and great advice again. My '97 Explorer Sport (90K) seems to have some transmission problems, and before I call the mechanic I thought I'd see what you all thought. It worked fine earlier in the day, but when I...

I have a '99 XLT w/4.0L SOHC engine. The accelerator pedal sticks and I have the force it (tap it with my foot) to get going. Very hard to make a smooth start from a stand still. Problem is worse if I drive the car a short distance and than let it sit for an hour or so and get in and go again....

I have a 2000 4 door explorer. It came with the am/fm/6cd (in dash) radio. I now have an ipod I would like to hook up to it, does it come with an additional audio in? Any way to do this so the ipod is directly connected not via some RF transmitter? Thanks Ethan

Radio stopped working after the windsheild leaked during a bad storm. (It's usually garage parked) I let it dry out for a while but now I have no radio or power antenna, which are both on the same fuse. Naturally I checked the fuse. All of the fuses look good. Everything else in the car works...

Just a wild guess, but is the cap installed in one of the heater hoses? Sounds like it could be a fitting installed as part of a Prestone anti-freeze flush kit. If so, easiest fix would be to replace the heater hose and eliminate the fitting with the cap. On 28 Oct 2005 12:39:10 -0400,...
