I recently bought a 2000 Ford Explorer XLT. The vehicle was orignally operated in Canada, so the information tag on the door is layed out different and I cannot find the recommended tire pressure. Can anyone help me out? Either by telling me the correct pressure or explaining how to read...

My 98 Explorer Limited battery dies if I don't drive it for 7 to 10 days--which is quite often. I've had the charging system and battery checked at a couple of auto parts stores and they said both are good. We did notice an amp draw of 2 amps with the vehicle off and a spikes up higher than...

2005 Explorer XLT with standard audio system (single CD, AM/FM) From time to time, I cannot eject a CD from the CD player and the message "EJ ERR" displays. This has happened 2-3 times since I bought the vehicle in May '06 and each time the CD ejected a while later or the next day. Now there is...

In the past, I have had several sets of LTX M/S tires on my Explorers and agree with everyone who says they are a great tire. I am planning to replace the original Goodrich tires soon on my '05 as they have gotten so noisy they are bugging me. Question is whether I should consider the Cross...

All I hear when I turn the key is a distinct clicking noise but it just runs down the battery. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Jason

About 2 weeks ago purchased gas at a location where the station just ran out of gas. The next morning the explorer would not start unless you gave it alot of gas. If you kept the RPMS up, then it would run. Noticed alot of condensation out of the exhaust. Eventually changed the fuel filter, and...

Hello, I am new to the newsgroup and I have a few questions to ask. Here is one problem I cannot figure out maybe someone here can help. I have a 1996 Ford Explorer Sport. I was having problems with the heater cutting in and out while I was in Iceland and then it went out completely right...

98 Explorer: My radio has lost the light in the dial and clock. Radio, CD, tape and buttons work just fine, however, I can't see the frequency or the clock. Probably a internal light, anyone had any luck fixing a problem like this, or does one head to the nearest dealership with this...

I have the base model 1994 Explorer. I would like to add a cargo cover, but I don't see how it would connect to the back seat. I see the slots in the rear where it would connect, but not in the front. Perhaps the base model seat doesn't have slots for the cargo cover? Thanks for any...

I am thinking about replacing/checking by Tensioner because I am hearing a droning noise when the truck is idling. Seems to be more prominent in very hot weather. I understand this is relatively easy to do. I took a look under the hood, and there's a belt diagram that easily identifies the...

I have a 97 Explorer XLT 5.0 V8 This is a strange one. I can't turn off the headlights (or rear lights or dash illumination). Even with the keys out they all stay on, however much I play with the headlight switch on the dash, the stalk and the autolamp slider. Now I have to remove fuses when I...

Recently my daughters 96 Explorer's (XLT) Drivers door handle (outside) changed... Now, instead of engaging right away, it feels loose and engages the opening mechanism near the end of it's range of motion. Hopefully this explanation is not too vague and someone can shed some light as to the...

i did a self diagnotics test for the cruise control on a 99 explorer, after replacing the brake deactivation switch (which is what i got from the test) it still gives me the same reading does anyone know where i should look next.....remembering my test still indicates the BDS is open or circuit...

I bought a 99 SOHC with 92,000 miles on it. The 30 day warranty is about to expire, so I took it into a mechanic. He says the timing chain is noisy, and should possibly be replaced. He does not have the equipment for it, so he can't tell me much about it. I have read a bunch of information on...

I recently (today) bought a 1994 Eddie Bauer with 152,000 miles on it. The vehicle looks good, and runs well. Unfortunately, after about 40 miles of driving it around town while slowing for a stop-sign, the brake-pedal suddenly hit the floor. The backup system worked as expected though, and I...
