Blend door or what? by Dave Morrison
I have one small problem that might be related to the blend door, but I'm not sure if '03's are still affected by this or not. Also, this problem probably won't reappear until next Summer but thought I'd ask anyway. On many Summer nights after a rainfall, the humidity level goes sky high here...

'03 XLT horn weirdness by Dave Morrison
I replaced my battery today in my 2003 XLT with an Interstate 65MT. Tightened up the holddowns, sprayed the terminals, closed the hood and walked away. About 1 or 2 hours later, my horn starts going off as though I'd hit the red horn button on the remote. However, the remote was hanging on the...

Outside air temperature stuck at 47 degrees fahrenheit by Desert Rat
1999 Explorer XLT. My outside air temperature gauge (overhead console) was working fine but now it is stuck on 47 degrees fahrenheit (8 celsius). I've read many other posts about the location of the sensor, etc. but I don't think it could be an open circuit or a short since the posts indicate that...

Bad Valve Springs by Captain Coleman
I had my 97 Explorer (4.0 OHV with 125K miles) into the dealer today for a rough running engine with no check engine light. The tech listed the problem as "Broken or weak valve springs." I did a bit of googling and didn't come up with anything that seems to relate to my situation. I'll...

Hi All, I have a 97 XLT with 4.0 SOHC. I have a problem when I move the heater into the defrost (upper vent) position. At idle, when in this position I hear a loud click and the engine bogs down to about 400 rpm then recovers. Three seconds later the cycle repeats. When the heat selecter is...

Could someone please explain how tire size destroyed my transfer case? by Michael Horowitz
97 Explorer. Diagnosed as needing a new transfer case. Guy took a caliper and measured the diameter of each tire and found the right front to be about 1/2" smaller than others and declared that to be the problem that caused the failure. It was worn and needed replacement. How did the diameter of...

98 B4000 Heater Control Blows HOT on COLD position by [email protected]
Does not always happen..sometimes I can get COOL air on the COLD position other times it's HOT air all the time. Is the valve inside the engine bay on the passenger side ? Looks like a vacuum valve on the heater hoses.

99 Explorer Sport 4.0 SOHC starts better with Ethanol by [email protected]
My Explorer cranks over for about 4 - 5 seconds before starting if I put regular unleaded in the tank. When I switch back to 10% ethanol, it starts fine. After the engine does start with the regular unleaded, it seems to run fine, just takes along time cranking. Any ideas? Thank you, Brian
