'02 Explorer with 62k miles needs a new transmission. Extended warranty company will pay for a rebuilt and give a 12 mo/12k mile warranty. Or the warranty company will give me the $ toward a new transmission from Ford (carries a 36 mo / 75k mile warranty.) The cost of the new transmission vs the...

hey all, i'm approaching 100k miles on my 2002 Eddie Bauer. I bought it at the end of 2006 and haven't really done any routine maintenance on it (aside from oil changes and rotations) so I would like to make sure I do enough maintenance to keep it running well for another 50k miles at least. I...

Anybody with a "02 or new have a problem with the 6 disc units left output channel low or almost none comming out of the left speakers. Doesn't make any difference if the unit is on "cd" or "radio". Then what happens is you adjust the volume up/down and or L-Rt balance, then all of sudden sound...

The display shows "CD ERROR" and will not eject/ load / or play. There are 4 CD's in the unit and nothing works. All other functions are OK. This is a 2002 explorer. Any ideas? TIA

I left my explorer running, ran into a gas station to get a soda. I came out, put it in Reverse, then noticed that it had died. I tried to restart (still in Reverse), remembered to put it back in park, turned the key and it won't turn over. I get dash lights, but nothing else. Mechanic says the...

My 02 Explorer's hood won't latch shut. Took out the assembly, lubed it, nothing. Is there a recall on this problem?

Got a 02 with the usual howling rear end noise. Did Ford ever come up with a fix for it or did they just give up? Its out of warranty so I guess its not a freebie? Also no problems yet with the trans but I hear it sucks too. No way for the average person to change the fluid? Is this correct?

I have a Explorer 02 with 95Km. I brought my Explorer to a ford dealership yesterday because the motor makes noise (Sounds like pinging noise ) between 2000 and 3000RPM. I explained to them that I think it the problem is the timing chain and they agreed with me. They did a quick diagnose and...

My wife's Explorer's 4WD won't work. I tested all the fuses, found everything in good shape. Tested the motor and it tested bad, so I replaced the motor and still nothing. Doesn't even sound like it's trying to engage. I am wondering about the module, but I have no idea where it is. ...

My 2002 Ford Explorer's brake lights and rear turn signals are not working. The top rear brake light is working. The front turn signals work but blink really fast. I checked both bulbs and the fuse, they are all good. Anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks

I need to buy a ball receiver (draw bar) for my 02 Expolorer. The factory hitch uses the smaller 1 1/4 inch receiver size. Does anyone have a recommendation on a drop size? The guy at my local auto shop suggested that a 2 1/2 inch drop was the right one. However, I don't trust his opinion since...

Hey all, Does anyone know if there is anywhere to get a master window switch for a 02 Mercury Mountaineer. One day the window went down and would not go back up. I pulled the switch apart and used a screw driver to short circuit it in order to get the window up. I have searched all over...

Hi Everyone, I am coming up on my 100,000 mile extended warrenty limit and I am starting to experience some trouble with my AC/Heating unit. I get a "cooing" noise, like a dove or pidgeon, when I accelarate. It is not all the time but can happen when accelerating from a stop or from 60 MPH to 65...

OK, I have a 2003 Explorer EB. This vehicle has the 6 disk CD w/ Sub, Rear Seat DVD, and the steering wheel controls. I'm thinking of upgrading the head unit. I'm looking for a stereo model that would still interface with the DVD and the steering wheel controls as well as the sub. I would like it...

I have a 2003 explorer eddie bauer with the premium sound package and the factory sub in the rear. I was wondering if it was possible to swap my radio with one with the navigation system from an 04 or 05 expedition. Are the radios the same size in the expedition as in my explorer? Would it go...
