Have a 2000 Explorer XLT and the inside lites and the lites on the mirrors come on for no reason. It has given me a dead battery twice. I will lock the car the lites will stay on for like 45 seconds,shut off and then in about 2 mins they come back on again. any ideas on this?

For last month had loud sqeeking sound from right front. Thought something needed greasing so took it in to dealer. They say no grease fittings; replace upper and lower control arms(??) . Veh has 58000 miles. Steers and rides good. Is this reasonable? Thanks

I'm thinking about swapping out the 4.5 axles and 4.5 front hubs from a 2000 explorer (electric xfer case and locked front hubs) to 5.5 axles and 5.5 manual locking front hubs. For the rear I can simply redrill the current axles or purchase axles drilled for 5.5 bolt pattern. Any ideas on how...

My empty cd player wont accept a cd! I push it in about a third of the way. Usually the unit will then suck it in, but it doesnt do a thing. Can i fix it? Or just buy a new one? Does someone make a unit that will easily fit in the same spot? Ive done searches but can only find other cd problems...

I got a copy of Jeff's Explorer Maintenance web pages from Charles Bress and have made them available at http://draco.acs.uci.edu/explorer/ I had to modify some of the pages to make the links work. If you have problems with any of the pages, please let me know so I can fix them. Use these pages...

The intermittant flashing (while the truck is off) THEFT light would stay lit while the truck was running. Replaced the six and one-half year old battery and solved the problem.

Sorry to drag up an old thread... Brian - I am having the same problem. Did you ever find out what was causing the bucking? It does seem to only happen when it's snowing. Thanks

My 95 explorer surges when at running speeds,like 30 mph and above.It idles fine and you can feel the surges just a little when running above idle and in gear.The check engine light comes on after you go several miles or so.You can hardly feel the surges(like small misfires) they are constant and...

The hatch door on the very rear of the explorer is stuck, the key won't unlock it to open the window and hitting the lock/unlock buttons won't unlock it to open the hatch/door. Anybody ever experienced this or know how to to fix it, or at least get the rear panel off.

Check engine light - sets code: lean burn - bank #2 02 sensor -- only when <-10 degrees clear code and runs fine. Which sensor needs changed?

I have a 1999 Explorer and at about 55K miles a humming sound started coming from around the air intake ducting in the right front of the car. I ignored it for a while, then the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealer, who said that codes were showing for running rich, so they...

Hi folks, Can anyone tell me the largest tire I can use on my '02 XLS 4wd with the factory 16"rims? I saw an XLT with 245's, so I guess they will work. I don't want to go too big, but the current Michelins, 235's I think, look lost in the wheel wells. Thanks Ken

I just replaced all the wipers on my 98 Explorer Sport. New fronts are fine. The old rear wiper missed most of the center of its sweep, cleaning only a small area near the wiper tips. The new one is doing exactly the same thing. I've never had this problem on any of my other vehicles with rear...

My `97 Explorer Limited - V8 (137,000 miles) started missing yesterday. The miss is most noticable during light-moderate acceleration. As well as when going up a hill. Typically it seems to idle smoothly. Autozone scanned it and came up with an error code 306. The tech pulled out his flip chart...

I'm interested in buying a Ford new car ESP warranty. Does anyone have the name of a dealer or website of a dealer that offers serious discounts on them? Thanks.
