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...

Hello, I am trying to get a few ideas on what I can check for this problem. My Explorer has began to not start from time to time. It does not seem to matter if it is hot or cold. It may go weeks and not mess up at all, then out of the blue will not crank. Either it cranks and goes dead...

I recently did a tune up myself on my 99 XLT SOHC 63K miles. I replaced the plugs, wires, PCV valve, and fuel filter. I still notice an occasional miss at idle, other than that the truck runs fine. The coil pack is original so I decided to take it out and test it. The primary resistances checked...

2002 Mercury Mountaineer, 4.6 V8. The AC clutch is gone. I looked in my Chilton manual and it details how to R&R the AC compressor, but says nothing about the AC clutch. However, it does say that if you are putting in a new AC compressor, "the clutch may have to be transferred from the original...

I have 150,000 miles on my 2000 Explorer, which I purchased new. My other car was recently totaled, and I'm considering replacing it with a 1999 Explorer with 75,000 miles on it, thus becoming a 2-Explorer household. The 1999 belongs to a friend, and I have ridden in it many times. Inside it...

My truck runs fine , no problems. I thought I read in my manual that the spark plugs should be changed at 100K. I was just woondering has anyone changed theirs earlier and if there is any reason for me to change them now being my truck is 8 years old.

The mechanics never found the problem and I got tired of breathing gas fumes so I removed the Fuel Vapor Canister from my 94 Explorer and connected the vapor line directly to the CANP line. ....so far, no fumes; just wondering what the down side is?? Emissions issues?? Any ideas?? Thanks!

I have a 2004 Limited w/ V-8, approx. 23,000 miles. It's only been about 2000 mi. since my last oil change, yet I'm getting a 'change oil soon' message. I'm 98-99% certain that it was reset at that time. Does the oil life monitor really monitor the oil or is it just an estimate based on...

Have an excellent and well-loved Ford SUV Explorer from the 94's. One out of seven stops I will hear grinding gear sound and feel it through the brake pedal. Just a second or less because when the wheels come to a complete stop the noise stops. So I'm thinking break pedal hitting a drive train...

Hi all, From time to time, regardless of the method used to unlock the driver's door, the lock knob moves a bit but does not completely come out, leaving the door in the locked position. Even after repeatedly trying to unlock, same problem. The only way around this is to open the door from...

2003 Mercury Mountaineer Luxury Edition with 99000 miles. I'm having electrical problems as follows: Close the door, message center says "door ajar" but no door is ajar.

I've got an '04 Explorer Limited with a strange sound. Brief history, we recently had the rotors turned and the pads replaced at 31,000, two months later there is a severe vibration in the wheel when braking, dealer says the rotors are warped three thousand miles after their brake job. Sounds...

First off I have a lot of scratches on the hood. I tried to use a hard- shell wax on it. Now there are more scratches. Not sure if they were there before. Is there anything that I can try that is safe? I don't want to make it worse. I also have trouble with the cruise control.

I have a 94 ford Explorer, it has been running hot recently so I replaced the water pump, thermostat, hoses, and radiator. Since replacing all of this I notice that the water temp gauge is telling me everything is ok, but when I stop it will move up but never to the red area of the gauge. When I...

Had the same problem with an otherwise wonderful 95 explorer. I fanally justified changing tires to a much softer riding Tiger Paw radial. The wifey noticed a difference before backing completely out of the driveway. A decent tire seems to cove a multitude of suspension sins

I have a 2001 Exmplorer Sport. It has a factory in dash changer that doesn't work. It is color coordinated to the rest of the dash and also a larger than standard slot (maybe 1.5 size slot). I know I can get kits that will make any stereo fit. To me, these don't look nearly as good, The current...
