Hi, I have a 1994 ford explorer 2 door sport. I recently noticed my backup loghts are not working. I checked my fuses, and my actual light bulbs and they all appeared OK. Is there a switch or something else that I could have missed? a relay switch? I'm not sure, as I want to try and avoid the...

I just solved the problem of opening an inoperative hood release on my 1997 Explorer. I tried gripping the cable under the dash with locking pliars and pulling as hard as I could but that didn't work. Try that first. I then looked thru the grill at the latch. There is a sheet metal cover blocking...

I bought a used 2004 Ranger XLT and it didn't come with a manual. I don't feel like purchasing one when the internet is right at my fingertips. I've read your comments on the manual's containing the method of dis-arming the annoying seatbelt alarm and was hoping someone here could post that...

Can anyone tell me where I can find the OBD plug on a 2003?

The drains at the base of the windshield are plugged on my '05 Limited, water just slowly seeps out onto the driveway. Undoubtedly, this came from all the stuff dropping from the trees around here this time of year. There are no obvious fasteners holding the plastic cover and I am hesitant to...
