What causes a squeal in 99 Explorer XLS when the key is turned off? It does not happen all the time. Its hard to tell inside the vehicle, but it sounds like it is originating from the fuel pump. Temperature does not seem to play a factor. The squeal only lasts for maybe three seconds than...

autolamps not working on 99 xlt and radio has constant drain on battery any solutions thanks

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...

Last year I replaced my original front pads with Bendix brand. I did not cut the rotors since they were in good shape. During the last couple of months, my brakes have been squealing while driving. When I step on the brakes , the squealing stops. I checked my calipers for sticking, and they were...

I have a 99 XLT 4X4 and at 34K miles I think I might have to change the front brakes soon. I wanted to do this myself. The last time I did my own brake job was on my 91 Crown Vic about 8 years ago but that was a straight forward job, no 4x4 or ABS. I will get my rotors cut at a machine shop but I...

I stripped a wheel stud on the rear wheel while changing a flat. I purchased a new stud and bolt at the auto parts store and will try to change the stud tomorrow. The truck has rear disc brakes. Is it simply banging out the old stud and putting the new one in ? Any advice appreciated. Thanks

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.

When I turn steering eather way it makes horrible squeeling/grinding sounds. Got out of car and pussed down on front right finder and makes creeking sounds like metal on metal. Was told to lub bushings and see if it works. Being a woman I am curious if this really works and grease it and no noise....

Hi everyone, I've got Explorer 99' , sport , 4x4, OHV engine. Recently I've noticed speedometer' lights quit on me, and only one is working. Is anybody have experience of replacing the bulbs? Do I need to take the speedometer out or I can reach it underneath? I'll be very appreciated for any ...

Grandaughter's vehicle... I'm a GM/Dodge guy, so limited experience with Fords! The shifter motor was replaced. Started as an intermittant problem, but became worse as time went on. Now happens all the time. In Low, it is 'drivable' (not a good idea, but it works), but in high and auto all one...

My 99 ford explorer has recently started dying.It only happens occasionally...most of the time it will not want to start after sitting for over about 5 hours. I will have to keep my foot on the gas, so that the battery will not die. Once it gets going it is fine and then it sits...Will a fuel...

I have a 2005 Expedition ( I know, its not an Explorer..but this group has been helpful to me anyhow)..It has just over 34,000 miles on it. So far a front end part had to be replaced, and then the entire gas tank had to be replaced ( it wouldn't accept gas without kicking out the gas pumps..any...

I recently bought a '99 Ford Explorer XLT (4dr 2wd model). Anyway, I wanted to add a toggle switch to the dash or underneath) so that I can control something (like a fake alarm led light, like those found at Radio Shack etc...) or I wanted to wire a device (any device) that only came on when my...

I have an annoying problem putting a child seat in the back of my 98 XLT. Since the seat is split 1/3-2/3 and I put the seat in the center my kid will lean to the left of the truck because the bottom of the seat has less support on the edge of the 2/3 bench. I thought about putting a piece of...

Here's a problem with a front right window on a 92 4 door XLT. The motor and switches are working okay. My wife came back from shopping and said that she could not get the window down all the way and then it would not go back up. Someone in the parking lot had helped her get it back up. Come the...

About two weeks back, I posted a message asking about replacing the air ride on my 1997 Limited with regular shocks. The reason for this was this niggling metallic rattle that sounded like a bag of coins from inside the cabin and I could not get rid of it. I had all bushes changed (control arm,...
