Hello The rear view mirror on my 92 XLT just fell off (79,000 miles on the truck and it's still like new - except for the mirror). I've checked all the old posts and the former Singleton site and don't see anything on this particular issue: When the mirror fell off, it left like a little plastic...

Just replaced pow'r steering gear box, pump is now shot. Have a new leak, heavy, below the tran fluid check stick. Looks to be tranny fluid but pretty dark. Can anyone tell me my next nightmare?

All, On my ongoing saga of locating why my check engine light keeps posting the code of 0303, I noticed more coolant being used. The mechanic did a compression check and he did say that it was normal. But he was concerned that my intake may be leaking causing my coolant to leak into cylinder...

Hi, I own a 2002 XLT 4.0 explorer, 4x4 auto. and there is a code flashing from the air bag light in the cluster, CODE 19. please if anyone can help I would appriciate. Thanks...

Can someone verify that the correct Ford replacement brake light switch is 4L2Z-13480-AB? 2002 4x4 4.0 BTW. The reason I ask is the new one looks completely different than the original, having a lot of metal construction and a different electrical connector. There is a pigtail in the box to...

I have replaced two belts on this 97 Explorer Sport 4.0L SOHC, and it continues to cut off the 6th of 6 beads on the belt. It appears the flat sheave on the fan may be the culprit, and need moved back towards the block one bead width. Is there room for adjustment here. All the other sheaves seem...

My 93 Explorer is running sluggest. It runs like it is not getting enough gas, when I'm on the road the rpm will first go up to about 2 1/2 to 3 then it drops making it feels like it's barely pulling. It started after I had the fuel pump replace. A week later I change the inline filter. Help...

Sam, I had a similar experience with my 94 Exploder driver's window last year. After testing (metering) everything I could it turns out there is (I suspect ONLY on the driver's window mechanism) a relay box or gizmo for the "one touch" power down action. Sadly, it took a while for me to find that...

A friend of mine has a 98 Explorer that the cigarette lighter has come loose from the back of the center console. They'd like to use it to plug in a cell phone charger, but can't because anything you can do to put it up to the original space now won't fit, and there's nothing there to attach the...

I snapped off my lug wrench at the flat that has the square punch-out that serves as the jack crank handle. Anyone know of a replacement source short of eBay, Ford, and a wrecking yard? The one I broke is pretty cheap-charlie and I'd like to replace it with something better and be able to stow...

Thanks! I will try them all but my transmission has been rebuilt, and I keep my fluids check. -- mindbender00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.carstalk.net/viewtopic-421729.html Send from http://www.carstalk.net

I have a 01 Ford Explorer that idles erratically. It does not effect the car as you are driving at normal speeds just when idling. The check engine light has also come on. The codes are bank 1 and 2 are running lean. I have replaced the fuel filter and the spark plugs are new so the only thing...

new to the group & was hoping someone could help with a question. just bought a 2001 explorer sport & noticed in the owners manual it said to only use one type of anti-freeze, by ford of course, but, it also had other ford types but said not to use those. pretty confusing.....what would happen if...

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...

I'm having a problem with the power windows not going down on my 92 ford explorer. It wants to move but cant for some reason???

I can turn the compressor, but it won't "engage." The fanbelt part turns. the inner part turns by hand. Is there a thermal switch that kicks on the clutch? I've looked for a fuse, but no luck. Is there a "short" that would force it to work?

1995 4.0 EB with 135K miles. Runs great - usually. For just the second time (last time was about 4 months back) would not start after a 20 mile freeway ride. After a brief stop, immediately stalled out when starting, and even feathering the gas did not help. After abou 15 tries in a 1/2 hour...

Can someone with a carfax account run a carfax on vin #5DF55$WS@@#... Sorry, just kidding. Here's the real question: I bought my car in CA from the original owner. Registered it there under my name. Then moved to TX and registered it here in TX. CARFAX shows 3 owners for the car. The original...

I have a leaking steering rack that drips through the worn boot. It's making my driveway a mess. I think I am going to have to replace the rack. Does anyone know of a step by step guide for rack replacement for a Do-It-Yourselfer? The local garage wants $600. Thanks JC
