Buying a 1997 Ford Explorer by
sam
Hi all,
I wanted to get your advice before buying a 183k miles 1997 Ford
Explorer(Eddie Bauer). Can you suggest if this is a good idea? The
truck is in a fair condition. What is a good guess on how long i can
make it run without a major repair.
Thanks a bunch for you advice.

This post is from a ford tech guy and it helped me to go my cd player
back online. I had a screw lodged in the bottom that was causing
trouble. Any other questions, hit me with them.

Gerald Riggs
Hello Folks,
My 97 EB with 5.0L V8 AWD has about 112k miles and running strong. Is it
about time to be replacing the Timing Chain. I did that with my 88 F250 5.8L
at about the same miles, and it was a good idea. It is still running strong
now with 150k miles. Suggestions? What else to replace b4...

Dash light question on 98 Explorer Sport by
RedBArone
I just got the vehicle last week. So far, no problems except a fairly
minor one.
The controls on the Left side of the steering wheel (part of the
cruise control?) and on the far left dash (Headlight switch) are not
illuminated. Is there a fuse for this circuit separate from the rest
of the dash...

door ajar by
anchorhd
I am having an issue with the"door ajar" light in the dash staying on. Where
are the open door sensors? I have turned the interior light off when the
door is open to save the battery. Thanks in advance.
Is there a place I can review the archives?

1994 explorer auto hubs grinding by
Happy Father
when i engage the 4x4 it works fine but i am concerned out the slight
griding noise i hear and feel in the gas petal, is this normal? I assume
with the 4x4 on i should experience a different feel in the gas peddle. It
engages and disengages fine.
The only other thing is when i turn over 1/2 way...

2003 Mountaineer V8 Tranny Fluid Change by
D.D. Palmer
It's just not clear to me when the tranny needs to be flushed and how it's
done and who can do it. Apparently it's now a sealed unit without a
dipstick. The owner's manual is worthless...it says if you have THIS tranny
(gives a code number), then change this often, if THAT tranny, than that
often....

Headlight lenses by
John Riggs
Anybody know how to remove and replace the headlight lenses on a '92 Ex?
Mine seem to have a lot of water trapped behind them from the last time it
rained. I need to get it out, dry, and find a way to seal it (silicone?)
before the weather gets too nasty. I'd hate to have to wrestle rubber...
