A friend has an Explorer that has a very loud squeek in the front end. I don't know the year, but believe it's a '99 or so. It's a suspension squeek and is reproduceable by bouncing the front up and down. Is there a component that is predisposed to squeeking on these vehicles? Dave

Ok my truck started fine 2 days ago, Tuesday. It rained all night Wed, and Thurs morning it would not start - starter clicked one time and then nothing, no electric gadget worked, eg, power locks. I let it park all day, and it rained all day. In the evening, coming back from work, the power locks...

This is a 4x4 with the rear HVAC. Time to do the above. Whats the best way to drain? Service manual mentions only the radiator drain. About how much coolant will come out this way? On the refill, any air bleed issues? Also, water here is harder than heck. Is the softened water (about 2...

I have a '94 Explorer. The other day I noticed my brake lights were completely out. I checked the fuse, the wires for a short and the brake switch shows continuity when the pedal is pressed. I noticed another thread of the same nature, but it continues on without mentioning what the fix was and...

After reading several "blend door" problems with AC I'm gonna skip that question and jump right to my problem. I was checkin fuses in both the side panel and power distribution box of my 99 Explorer and now all of a sudden my power windows and power sunroof are stuck! Luckily my windows were...

Where is this unit and how do I defeat it? Also called "one-touch relay" Thanks Joe

Every so often (6-8 months) the rear wiper on my 99 Explorer stops working. I can hear the relay going in the back and I can also what sounds like the motor engaging. While it was under warranty I had no problem asking the dealership to fix it. Now that it's not, I'm going to bother to figure out...

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer. When the engine is idling, the engine area eventually starts to produce a load droning sound, perhaps from a belt. It has seemed to have started up since the weather started getting warmer (central florida). I have had this in the past. I mentioned it to the dealer a...

How can I determine if I have an axle wrap (lateral) shock on my 99 Ford Explorer 4x4 V6?

When the engine is hot, excess coolant transfers to the coolant recovery tank. When the engine cools (overnight), the coolant does not return to the radiator. When I remove the radiator cap, I can tell I'm breaking a vacuum. Is this a radiator cap problem? - Mike

I have a 97 explorer which is in great shape, except all of a sudden the heat is always on. Even if I put it on air, I still get heat. Max-air only tempers the hot air some. Rumor has it, this may be expensive to fix. Is there an easy and cheap way to repair this? Thanks in advance MoonDogii

I have a '94 Explorer and the A/C stopped working. I checked the pressure on the low side service port and there was nothing. I used a recharge kit with uv dye to spot a leak and could not find anything. I used the goggles that make the uv stand out and even used a higher wattage blacklight to...

We have a 98 Ranger (3.0L) that when it is started when it is cold (only cold), sounds like the Bendix is kinda grinding for 2 seconds or so AFTER the engine starts and you release the key from the start position. it does it almost every time it starts cold. you drive it for 5 minutes, shut it...

I have a 98 explorer, 5.0, auto and 105,000 miles that has started to "whine" when I accelerate or slow down. I cannot tell exactly where it is, so it could be from the transmission to the rear end, any ideas or suggestions?

My A/C pulley on my 97 ford explorer came loose. Just the pulley itself. The front plate is still attached and I dont know how to remove it to get the pulley off. Can anyone help me please?

I have a 1996 Explore and my speedometer is erratic. While traveling at 70 mph it will suddenly drop to 50 mph stay there for a few minutes then jump back to 70. This has been going on for abount 2 weeks. Today again to drop 50 and stayed there even when I came to a full stopped. The needle...

I recently (today) bought a 1994 Eddie Bauer with 152,000 miles on it. The vehicle looks good, and runs well. Unfortunately, after about 40 miles of driving it around town while slowing for a stop-sign, the brake-pedal suddenly hit the floor. The backup system worked as expected though, and I...
