I've got a 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.6L V-8, 76K miles . My "Service Engine Soon" light came on last week. As I've heard this often is an emissions problem warning, I thought I'd replace the PCV valve to start with until I can get it to the dealer. The engine is mostly covered with a plastic...

Where are the ground straps? I have a 99 Explorer Sport V6. Recently I found the braid ground strap from the frame to the body, nearest the drivers door jamb had rotted out. I see a similar jumper on the passenger side is also in poor shape. I'm about to replace them. Are there other grounding...

Howdy! I've been reading entries on here about the third brake light, and haven't really seen what I'm after, so I'd like to revive the topic. I have a 95 Explorer, and would like to buy a less expensive aftermarket ballast, or a complete replacement light that I can mount easily, like sticking...

What causes a squeal in 99 Explorer XLS when the key is turned off? It does not happen all the time. Its hard to tell inside the vehicle, but it sounds like it is originating from the fuel pump. Temperature does not seem to play a factor. The squeal only lasts for maybe three seconds than...

I found the module exactly where "S" said it would be. There are several numbers on the sticker. The number that looks like it should be the code is off to the right of the sticker under a bar code and is in a bolder font than the rest of the number but... it doesn't work! I tried some of the...

The steering column on my 2005 Explorer XLT will only lock when the steering wheel is turned in the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, not in the 12 o'clock position. Is this normal or defective? Thanks.
