I am new to the group and am unsure if this question has been asked before. If it has, please accept my apologies in advance and direct me to the previous thread on this topic. I used the remote to open the rear lift gate on my Explorer last night. While opening it, I noticed a crack about 1/8 in....

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

I'm going to be pulling both front and rear driveshafts out of my 97 5.0L AWD X to get balanced and was wondering how I could determine if the AWD Transfer Case Chain was worn. The X has 120k miles. Would be a good time to do any repairs. Thanks - Gerald

I parked my 96 Explorer in 4WD low last night. It will not come out of 4WD low now. The switch is not disengaging it. It is 14 degrees outside. Could that be the problem? John

Hey Jim I have a question for you. I have a 99 explorer XLT. I believe I may have broken a gasket in my tranny. About 2 months ago, I noticed that my OVERDRIVE light began to flash off and on the dash once in a while. When it did this, it felt like I was driving my truck in low gear. Really...

every thing works but the speakers i noticed theres like a bare ground wire in the group of speaker wires? no conectors just wires on the explorer. any help would be apriesiated

Hello list, I noticed a strange "scrapping" noise coming from the bottom of my new 2005 Explorer (< 100 miles) This noise ONLY occured when I started the car (by turning the ignition), and put it in drive. The scrapping noise (the volume varied but not too much) would last < 1 sec., and it...

I've been having some typical problems with my Explorer not keeping idle. I've cleaned the IAC once ad it fixed it, for a while. The other night I had to just rev up the engine for a second to clear it out. Today I noticed its doing the same thing. Tried cleaning it and no luck this time. I...

OK - I know this isn't new but I can't find a thread that answers my questions. ABS warning light is on. I understand that these rear ABS systems are notorously troublesome. Ford manual suggests it might be easier for me to buy a new car rather than expect them to tell me how to troubleshoot the...

Hi There- I've got a 2000 XLT and got 5 free Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires at 35K miles due to the whole Firestone calamity. Over the last 20K miles or so, the driver's side front tire has developed a WHOP WHOP WHOP sound that is loudest at 35MPH and is noticable until about 65MPH. Rotation seems...

I went to get an oil change the other day only to discover that the engine hood would not open. When you pull the latch release inside the vehicle, nothing happens...it's as if the cable has stretched or something. A guy at the oil change place was able to finally get the latch released by...

My 2002 Explorer was strored for a few months in a garage that had a mouse problem. When I started driving it again I got a bad smell out of the ventilation system. After about 6 months it subsided biut recentlt I get a bit of dry debris including what seems to be whiskers coming from the vents,...

The stereo in my wife's '92 EB finally expired after a long, slow, agonizing death. Can I just buy a standard stereo and put it in there somehow? Every car stereo I've installed in the past attached to the dash with nuts on the volume/tuning shafts. The Ford stereo (it says Sony on the case)...

2001 Sport Trac I just noticed today that both front door speakers sound really scratchy. Any bass at all is just buzz. Selecting just the rear speakers with the fader control, it sounds fine. Is it likely that both front speakers shot craps all of a sudden or could there be another cause? H

New Oxygen sensors.... An electronic check shows that there is no voltage coming from both sensors forward of the cat.

I've been told that some 98's were equipped with a Passive AntiTheft System which requires any new keys to be programmed, sorta like programming a new remote button. How can you tell if your vehicle has the PATS system? I got only one key with my used Explorer. The black plastic head is marked FORD...

I recently replaced the headlights on my 1995 EB, and am not satisfied with results. I plan on getting the Sylvania Silverstars, but the big problem seems to be the "yellowed" lens assembly. I see the same problem on most older Explorers. Any information on replacement/ aftermarket lens assemblies...
