My Explorer will start fine most of the time but other times it just clicks once when i turn the ley. I can retry and it starts fine. Today it just clicked and it had to retry it 10 times before it started. Im guessing the starter solenoid is bad. Question, is the solenoid replacable or do I...

I found an odd part hanging behind the bumper on the drivers side. In the same area is an existing fog light and another connector which is plugged up (Don't know what it is either). The third one which is in question is threaded one one end and kind-of looks like a temp sensor except that it is...

Your local gas station probably offers you 3 levels of gasoline, like gold, silver and bronze. These typically have different levels of octane in them and you will generally get a little better mileage for the more expensive type. In addition to different octane levels there are many...

I would like to change the spark plugs on my 98 explorer with the 4.0 sohc engine the problem is that I can't seem to find a access point to get to the passenger side plug that is close to the fire wall. I was wondering if anybody has done this and how they got to that plug. Thank You for...

I've got a 99 XLT with 4.0L SOHC engine with 137K miles. For quite some time now it takes several seconds or more of cranking before the engine starts. When it does starts it sometimes stumbles until I press the gas pedal once or twice. After that it idles and runs fine. The cranking is fast,...

Quite some time ago, someone in this group posted a link to the Ford site where one could download the complete maintenance manual for their products, I have lost the link....would someone please repost the link, or tell me where to find it. Thanks, Steve

Trying to get the rear rotors off our '03 Explorer; of course they're stuck. My guess is that the rust inside the rotor has formed a lip in the area not touched by the shoes. But I can't back off the shoes because there's no hole for the adjuster. Or it's welded on ther sheetmetal. No rubber...

This guy is a real whackjob. Certainty level: 100%

Thank you MI5 for persecuting this jackass.

Hi guys and gals, I have a 1994 Ford Explorer XLT 4wd V6. I was wondering AROUND how many miles should I be getting to a tank full of gas???? I have been using the little milage gauge and it tells me i'm only getting around 200 miles per tank. That seems pretty low to me and was wondering if...

I have a 1996 Explorer and the cruise control does not go on. I replaced the on/off button on the steering wheel twice with used buttons (from junk yard). I repleased the speed control servo with a used one. I did not connect the cable to the actuator cable. At this point all I want is the...

My 96 XLT with auto trans and about 175000 suddenly experienced shifting problems last Tuesday. My "O/D" light began blinking, so I pulled off the road and turned the car off. My book said doing this would put the switch back to the default "on" position, so I started up and drove off. The car...

I replaced the antenna mast for my power antenna. I took the power antenna unit apart, and found several pieces of the long white plastic piece used to extend and retract the mast. After replacing it, and putting everything back where it belongs, the antenna comes up, but doesn't come down all...

I picked up a wrecked 97 Explorer for $250.00 cause it looked like a fun project. After yanking the obvious bad stuff off I noticed that the rack was split so it was replaced. Now when its fired up it makes like a whirring/vacuum leak type noise til you put the slightest pressure on the steering...

Where would I find the fuel filter on a '93 Explorer Sport? I think it may be bad, and is causing it to idle roughly. I have had experience with a bad fuel filter in my '91 Cavalier, and figure I better change it. It idles fine when I first start it. After I run it just a few minutes and it...
