I have a 1995 XLT and apparently, from what I've read on my prior posting here, there might be a leak in the AC coolant. I've read that you can buy a stop leak kit that might seal up the AC. Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on this? Could it damage the AC system? Is it safe to use...

I have a 98 XLT and for some reason when I arm the alarm, it only does one "chirp" where it used to chirp twice. Same if I just power lock the doors before I close it. It used to chirp once when I pressed the power lock then again when I closed the door...what happened?

Hi, sorry if my 'lingo' is not too accurate - I am new to this. I have a 95 explorer XLT - runs great no issues. One day the remote clicker stopped working, I changed the batteries and when that did not solve the problem, I bought a new remote clicker. I could not get the new clicker programmed...

My 99' anti-theft alarm will not stop once I turn the key to "on" and I have to dissconnect the battery to make it stop. I have tried locking/unlocking the door and just about everything else I could think of. any suggestions?

Hi all, I'm finding the need to replace a couple of lock actuators on my 2000 Mountaineer. Purchasing form the dealer is quite expensive, I was wondering if anyone has come across a less expensive source for these items. Any recommendations will be welcome. Thanks in advance. JML

I had my alternator replaced 2 years ago, two days ago i noticed that the gauge was not charging, only when I had the gas pedel push dwon a little did the hand raise above the bottom of the battery picture on the gauge. It is at the local shop now, they put a new alternator on it and it is still...

Went to replace the brushes in my 120k miles alternator and none seem to available. Local Schucks Auto Parts says "Standard # FX72" is the correct parts, but were backordered. www.Rockauto.com says the same thing. Anyone else know where to buy such parts? Jerry in Kingston, WA

Good evening. I have a 1998 Ford Explorer V6 with 172k miles. The original alternator failed in November, and I replaced it with a "premium" rebuilt alternator from NAPA. (The "premium" designation means that they install a new rectifier instead of a "good used" recitifier. I considered this an...

We have a 94 ford explorer. The ammeter says it's charging when we drive on the highway. But when we drive in stop and go traffic the needle goes down. Eventually the battery goes dead if we keep driving in the city. Would appreciate any help with this. THanks.

Now-a-days,...

It's time to replace the spark plugs on my '98 5.0L Expy. Right next to #5 I notice this empty hole - an exhaust manifold bolt somehow worked itself loose and disappeared. Not a big deal... But a 10mmx1.5 wouldn't fit, and 8mm is way too small. Totally baffled, I try a 3/8"x16 standard -- and...

You may recall that we got a '96 XLT for our daughter about a month ago. It has about 190K miles, but is in great shape and was well maintained by the original owner. Last week, we drove it for about 20 minutes - no problem, ran great. After it had been parked and shut off for about an hour, I...
