Hi all, I have a 2000 xlt. When I'm parked in my garage and open the rear door it hits the top of my garage entry (resulting in paint scratches). I was hoping someone here could either point me towards some online instructions or share their knowledge on how to adjust the opening height so that...

I have a 1991 Ford Explorer and my nephew said the battery terminal needs changed but he didn't have time today. I went and got the new terminals but I don't know how to change them. Could someone help me with this? Thank you.

'98 Explorer with 5.0L engine, 115K miles. Serpentine belt started chirping at start-up in cold weather. Driving through puddles with cold engine makes it worse - a deep puddle caused it to slip so bad that I lost power steering until the belt dried up -- bad deal! Couldn't do much about it,...

Hi, after reading some news here, i would like how clean my IAc valve? We'll change oxygen sensor next week-end but, may be, my IAC valve needs to be cleaned. How can I do that ?

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer and want to disable the alarm system. Darn thing is unpredictable.

I have a '98 Explorer XLT, and I need to take out the steering rack.

Then...

Does anyone how I could replace the antenna and base on my 99 Explorer Sport? Recently, it came flying off right in the middle of a drive-in car wash (yeah, it happens!). Anyways, I mistakenly bought just the top metal part, but it won't fit the base, there seems to be a piece of the the old one...

What's the remove/replace procedure for the 99 high mountl amp. The newer ones have external screws but this must have some internal release behind the liner or else some kind of snap release.

Hey everyone, I have a loud clicking noise coming from my back drivers wheel... It sputters when I accelerate, and makes a whining noise on the highway. The clicking is only at low speeds. I am thinking its the CV joint, but not sure. I have had everything else checked out, so its just about the...

I have a '97 Explorer, Control Trac, auto trans, and 4.0L OHV engine. I have error codes PO136 and PO141. I tried to test the O2 sensors as outlined in my Hayne's manual but am unable to manage to get a wire into the connector so I can test it. Is there a trick to this? Hayne's says not...

I've been having some typical problems with my Explorer not keeping idle. I've cleaned the IAC once ad it fixed it, for a while. The other night I had to just rev up the engine for a second to clear it out. Today I noticed its doing the same thing. Tried cleaning it and no luck this time. I...

Hi all. My manual was stolen out of my car a while back and I haven't replaced it yet. I will be driving in some possibly heavy snow this weekend and was wondering how to use the 4wd feature. Is it as simple as just "turning it on"? Does the car need to be in motion, park, etc when turning...

Hi, I have a 1993 ford explorer. One of the manual locking hubs wont shift out of free position but after putting it on the hoist and turning it it spun the drive shaft indincating it was in lock position.

My '96 EB 4x4 emits a loud humming sound from the front end that is loudest between 40 and 50 mph. The sound goes away when I steer to the right, but is unaffected when I steer left, so I figured that it must be the bearing and hub assembly on the right side of the truck (steering to the...

Hello all: I bought a 2002 Ford Explorer with 42,000 miles on it. I love the truck, excepet for these niggling issues. 1. Between 2300 and 2800 RPM I hear a noise like metal being ground up in a blender. 2. there is an annoying squeak that comes from the rear end of the truck when I go over...
