I will be moving to Anchorage, Alaska in August. My 93 explorer 4.0 liter V6 has a block heater installed. The question is how do I check to make sure its working? I could trace it down and pull it then heat some water but that may give me leaks etc. Is there an easy way to do this. Also anyone...

Got a question: I've purchased 4 new Explorers (2 in 2002, and 2 in 2005) and each time getting the factory oil filter off has been a fight. I have a oil ratchet(?) tool that fits the FL-820S perfectly, but slips on the factory installed filters. The factory installed oil filters also have...

Last week I posted how difficult it is to remove FACTORY installed oil filters. Most post repliers, except for Jim Warman, didn't seem to understand my post and tried to help me install a new filter (oil gasket, hand tighten, etc.). Well today I had to remove another FACTORY installed oil filter...

After owning our 2000 Eddie Bauer Explorer AWD for four years, my wife locked her key in the car last week, and I decided it might be nice to enable the coded entry feature. The manual says I need to find the factory preset code, which is located on the owner's card in the wallet (which I can't...

I smell gasoline especially when the A/C is on. I don't see any leaks, "washed off" clean areas, ect under the hood. Is there a common gas leak culprit on the Explorer?? Thanks! dan 1994 4x4 xlt Explorer 245ci

My car recently started whining- it seems to be the fan belt up front. You can hear the pitch get higher and lower based on how much gas you give it. Is this a sign of a dying belt...or worse? 2002 FE V8 XLT Thanks!

Does anyone know offhand the size of the fan clutch nut on the Explorer(1993). I have to replace the fan blade and I only have 1" and 22mm as largest wrenches. Thanks in advance

Howdy... I have a 2006 Explorer XLT V8 with the tow package I have noticed when towing up a long hill, there is what sounds like a 'second fan' that switches on after a while. I assume this has something to do with the transmission cooler. My issue is that the fan intermitently squeals. My Ford...

I have a 2000 Explorer. I'd like to install a 12 volt power outlet near the far rear, similar to a cigarette lighter outlet. Is there already a source of 12 volts in that area, not dependent on lights or rear wiper being on? Any ideas appreciated. -- ---------- CWLee Former slayer of dragons;...

I recently replaced the intake manifold gasket on my 91 Ford Explorer Sport. I had to remove all of the vaccuum hoses and many of the sensor connectors during this process. Now that it is back together, it does the following: 1. Engine revs up to about 1500-2000 rpm immediately after start. 2....

Hello, I have '96 4.0 Explorer Sport 5 speed with a fast idle (1,500 - 2,500) condition that goes away after you drive the vehicle until it's warm then shut if off and start it back up. Anyone know what could be the problem? It has a new IAC valve and 02 sensors. No codes showing. Thanks for...

I have a '91 Explorer that has a faulty chime. You know, the thing that "dings" when you leave your keys in the truck, or when your seat belt isn't fastened. Well mine is no longer is making noise and I want to replace it. Is this device a seperate item, like a turn signal flasher or relay? Or...

Hi, Please can you tell me how I test the actuator, as mine isn't working, also if I need to replace it, how do I get it out, there are no visible screws/bolts, and what is the little black&silver round thing that seems to be connected to it, any advice / pics or photo's would be appreciated....

I would like to know if the Audio System on the FE E.B 2007 is a Double Din CD-DVD receiver. My question : is it possible to change it ? The E.B vs has also DVD system in the rear seats . I have a 2002 XLT 4.0 and have changed the audio receiver with a kenwood DDX-7015 cd-dvd receiver wich is...

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...

Does anyone have any tips on filtering out this crap that's flooding our group? Is there anything the admin can do? I can't hardly find the real messages.

Anyone have an idea of how much a typical towing package reduces highway gas mileage and adds to engine wear, when not towing anything? I'm talking about on a full sized truck or SUV with a V8. My thinking is that the lower final drive ratio revs the engine more, increases wear, increases noise,...
