I have tried to solicit an answer to this in another (a.a.f) newsgroup, but I simply got replies that, "It isn't a feature on your car". I was asking about my own ('99) Sable and a friend's 2004 Explorer. We both are annoyed with the doors automatically locking when the cars begin to move...

On my 1996 Ford Explorer, the heater blows hot air in vent and air conditioning mode. In Max Air cool air does blow. Heater works but temperature selection does not lower temperature of air blown in.

'96 Ford Explorer XLT. The windshield is badly cracked and needs replacement. We're going to pay for this ourselves and are not interested in used parts from a yard. Is there anything unusual about the windshield that the replacement glass company needs to know about? How can we be sure that...

Recently I have been having a real hard time changing gears in my 93 xlt 5 speed. As the problem has gotten worse (very difficult to change gears - double clutching helps a little) I have begun to hear a whining noise when the clutch is engaged. Any thoughts? Thanks, Dennis

Has anyone sucessfully managed to repair the autohubs on the early Explorer (91-94)? Is there a repair kit anywhere? Ford wants something like $900 for new ones. I put Warn manuals on my '91 and the autohubs just failed on my wife's '92. I'm completely happy with the Warn hubs but my wife has...

What ever happend to Dr. Bob's Ford Explorer Maintenance Page? I can't seem to find it. Any tip for troubleshooting turn signals. My left works fine but when I turn on the right it sounds like a machine gun, buzzing instead of clicking. Could it be the switch? Please respond at...

I see the same problem on most older Explorers. Any information on replacement/ aftermarket lens assemblies...

My scanner says "System efficiency below threshold" my Chiltons book says "catalyst efficiency monitor and/or exhaust system fault" for that code. Could it be the Oxygen Sensor? I have 70K on this one :( TIA
