99 XLT brake lights not working by
[email protected]
None of the 3 brake lights are working. I've narrowed it down to either
the brake light switch on the pedal or the wiring at that connector. If
I wiggle the wiring the lights will start working for awhile. I can
also pivot the switch back and forth slightly on the pivot pin and get
the lights to...

Wrecked my '96, might need a new one by
Jim Holcomb
Could be totalled but won't know until the adjuster looks at it.
While I'm waiting to find out it's final fate I'm looking around
for a good used one, maybe 1998-2002 or so. Are there any years
to avoid?
Thanks,
Jim

Air flow not switchable by control knob by
Rona1
I have a 99 Explorer and noticed one day when attempting to use the A/C that
the air flow was minimum at full thrust. I took it to a mechanic but he
wasn't able to locate the problem. He said he took some of the dashboard
apart but didn't detect cause. The last thing he mentioned was a pin...

Big Shoe
Has anyone tried to remove the stickers from the visors? If so, what
did you try and how did it work out? I am tired of seeing those
stickers all over my visors and would like to take them off.

Ancient thread or am I dreaming? by
Happy Traveler
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...

DTC code PO401 by
[email protected]
I hooked up a code reader to the 2002 explorer with a V6 and it gave me
the above code. Does anyone know what the possible fix would be.
Replacing the sensor? Cleaning the valve? Something else?

Replacing Fog Lamp Bulbs by
[email protected]
I hate the idea of going to the dealer to replace bulbs. I have very
limited maintenance experience.
Can anyone give me a basic step by step, dumbed-down explanation of how
to replace the Fog Lamp bulbs? I have a 96 Ford Explorer Sport.

Fed Up With Goodyear Wranglers by
rvfulltime (was xenman)
A few years ago, in replacing the original Firestone Wilderness AT tires
the local Ford dealer installed Goodyear Wranglers. For the first 10,000
miles they were fine. But then I started hearing a noise that sounded like
the front wheel bearings were going out. The dealer said "nope, it's...

Oil Pressure gauge... by
Greg
Just noticed in wife's 2000 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0 OHC. Her oil pressure
gauge needle somehow jumped to below the resting stop pin. So when you turn
it off the needle points straight down and when you start up it springs up
to peg at the needle stop. Now how could that happen??? Don't 4 wheel...
