Please help if you can. Last night while driving to visit family for Easter I was pulled over and ticketed for no brake lights. I stopped and checked the following: bulbs - good, both filaments fuses - good Brake switch - good What else could I check? The third brake light (high light) works...

I need to buy a ball receiver (draw bar) for my 02 Expolorer. The factory hitch uses the smaller 1 1/4 inch receiver size. Does anyone have a recommendation on a drop size? The guy at my local auto shop suggested that a 2 1/2 inch drop was the right one. However, I don't trust his opinion since...

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer with 102k miles and have been having A/C issues. The A/C will only blow hot air and in addition, there is a rattling noise when I idle. I took it to a repair shop and they said the hot air and the rattling are related due to a leak in the evaporator. The...

Hello, I am wondering if anyone out there can run a vin check for me. I think the prices are rediculous to just check out one car. Some places charge $30 for one car and like $35 for unlimited. I would be very greatful if there was someone who happened to have an account and run it for me. Here...

I have a 96 XLT with 4.0 and auto trans. Mileage is approaching 162,000. Since about 2 weeks ago I noticed my oil level gauge will "flash" momentarily to bottom red, then return to the middle position. This seems to occur when its cold, and if I take sharp turns. Since it always returns to the...

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.

Hi folks, I have a 1999 Explorere with 118,000km on it. 4.0L engine. Lately have been noticing a bit of clacking when under load such as entering an uphill grade when on cruise. Sounds almost like rocker arm clack like in some of the older straight six engines. No problem with power, kicks...

Everybody's OK, just some bruises, though our Labrador was pretty upset about being taken back home ( Hey! I *KNOW* we were going camping! You can't take me home! ) So I had the experience of hanging upside down by my seatbelt, shutting off the engine, and being helped out by some good...

My 1996 Explorer XLT V8 AWD was stolen this past weekend and I am looking for a "newer" used, suitable, similar, replacement. It had 150K miles on it, ran great and never gave me any problems since I bought it used in 1998 with 59K miles on it. Since I liked this one so much, I am thinking I...

They are new tires. Someone said it could be the wheel bearings. Looked underneath and everything...

I just recently encountered a problem with my 94 Explorer, it sometimes does not start, no click, no turning over, just a faint grinding sound like something is trying to happen, but not. Then sometimes it will start. I just recently put in a new starter motor in. All the electrical works when I...

I just got a 99 Explorer. The tool for lowing the tire is missing. (well, you can't think of everything...) What does it look like? Maybe I can make something else work.

The A/C in a 98 Explorer will not send out cold air. It just blows out hot air. When I take the car to a A/C repair shop, what should I expect? Would adding freon solve the problem? Does the compressor need to be replaced? What A/C repairs can a person expect from a car with 67K miles? All...

This shows a generic code for "Insufficient Coolant Temperature for Closed Loop Fuel Control". Does anyone have an idea which sensor would cause this code? Is it the engine temperature sensor C159 on the radiator? Maybe the engine coolant temperature sensor on the engine C163? Could this be a...
