Two weeks ago my Explorer displayed the code that bank 1 oxygen sensor was slow to respond (I forget the code #).

I have an 03 explorer XLT 4.6L V-8. We recently bought it used and it didn't have the owners manual. Can anyone tell me if it has a cabin air filter and if so where is it and do you access it? Thanks, GP

I don't see a limited slip rear axle listed as an option on the 2006 Explorer. Only non-limited slips listed. Have they done away with this and are non effectively getting limited slip with the magic of differential braking, sorta like traction control?

My wipers do not work on low speed anymore and my headlight chime goes off occasionally while driving. I think I need a chime module and a wiper speed module or GEM. Can anyone help tell me where those are located? I have a Haynes manual which does not show those and a google search turns up...

I was looking at the interior of the Mazda truck and it looked amazingly like the interior of my 1996 explorer. Why the big similarity?

Purchased a used 98 2wd 2dr 6 cyl SOHC Ford Explorer at 93K miles. It's at 96K now and am thinking about the oil change. Any comments from those with experience is appreciated. I purchased the vehicle from the dealer and quite sure it's been using regular oil. Unfortunately, I don't have any...

Hello, I had a check engine light on my truck about 10 days ago. I took it to the dealer, and they diagnosed the EVAP vent solenoid and EVAP management valve were bad, and replaced. Then, about a week later I take it in for another check engine light, this time an error code 420. They reprogram the...

I have 2 problems here. Don't know if they are connected. 1. I have a noise when I turn the steering to the right. It's like something needs to be lubricated and I can feel it through the steering wheel. This happens only at very low speeds like 5mph. During the course of turning the wheel +2...

The early cars have a list of things that might cause the problem you describe. The shift motor on the transfer case can move slightly, enough to confuse the controller module. The controller module itself may have failed. You may have a blown fuse. There is an extensive resource on the...

My turn signals and hazzards don't work. There's no fast, loud clicking sound so I don't think one of the bulbs is burned out. Any ideas?

My dealership said the AWD is not working in my 2002 Explorer XLT because the computer is bad. The dash switch is sending a "signal", but the computer isn't responding, causing the AWD and dash light to not work. I don't care to pay the dealer's price, anyone know where I can find a (used, if...

Greetings all, My '96 XLT V6 4.0L OHV 4X4 Auto with 102k miles has started having a hot start problem. At first I thought it was 'cause of the tank of ethanol/unl blend I had in it (when will I learn it does NOT like ethanol in hot weather), but I've since refilled with regular unleaded and am...
