'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...

'04 transmission overheating by
Orlun
I just got a 1 year old Explorer with V8 and towing package and 10k miles.
I used it to tow a single axle enclosed utility trailer over the weekend.
When I was on my way home pulling an empty trailer but bucking a wind, I
noticed white smoke. I immediately slowed down and the smoke stopped ...

'04 Transmission Question by
dicko
I have an '04 Explorer, purchased in April. Up until now everything's
been just fine. However, cold weather is upon us and the transmission
is beginning to do something weird.
When I leave for work in the morning, I immediately hop on a strech of
road with a 55 mph speed limit for about 5 miles...

'05 Dragging Rear Brake (revisited) by
Bob[_11_]
A little over 4 months ago I took my '05 XLT back to the dealer I
bought it used from because the right rear brake was occaisionally
dragging while starting out or very slowly creeping in traffic or at a
stop light. They said they did not find anything wrong and replaced
both rear pads and rotors....

'05 Explorer Trailer Brake Connection by
Richard Minami
Hi! I recently replaced my '94 Explorer with an '05. Lots of things I read
say that I can get a Ford wiring harness for my Tekonsha Prodigy and just
plug it right in. I tried it this evening, and I can't find where the
wiring harness plugs into the Explorer. Could anyone enlighten me? ...

'05 Ford Explorer Power Outlet by
M. Prindle
Hello everyone,
I just got a new '05 Ford Explorer XLS and I was disappointed to find
out there is only one 12V power outlet in the whole truck. I need at
least two outlets one for my radar detector and the 2nd would be used
intermittently for various other uses including a cell phone charger or
a...

'05 slow throttle by
Richard Minami
Just wondering if anyone else has the same experience. It seems like the
throttle response on our new Explorer is a little slow. My wife (the
primary driver) noticed after we first bought it that it behaves kind of
weird when you come up to a light and it turns green, so you press the
accelerator...

'05 XLT: Replacing rear turn signal bulb? by
Bob[_11_]
2005 Explorer XLT
I noticed that my right blinker started blinking very fast the other
day (blinking fast inside the vehicle, on the instrument panel when I
turn on the right turn signal). I checked my turn lights and found that
the right (passenger) side turn light is not working. I guess the...

'06 Explorer by
D.D. Palmer
I saw photos of the '06 Explorer/Mountaineer and it looks like they have
some nice improvements. Of course at $2.50/gallon and rising, I can't see
trading in my '03 for another 13MPG-around-town guzzler. My guess, however,
is that by Xmas these beasts will be littering up dealer lots and...

'91 EB stalling a lot by
John D. Goulden
My '91 Eddie Bauer has had a long history of frequent stalling (especially
after it's been running for a few moments) at stop signs / lights and even
when turning corners accompanied by low mileage (10-12 mpg instead of the
usual 16-18 in mixed driving). The shop has replaced the computer,...

'91 Explorer electrical problem by
bigchz
Hi guys. It seems as though I have an electrical problem which causes
my hazard lights to flash out of control, and my car is not able to
start while this is going on. Ever since I installed my amp and
subwoofer, it seems like I've been having electrical problems (brake

'91 Explorer fuel trim by
John D. Goulden
Yet another post in the ongoing saga of my '91...
The truck gets lousy mileage (12 mixed instead of 16) and shows other
indications of running too rich. Codes are mostly EGO not switching, left
bank lean but occasionally left bank rich. I'm convinced that something,
somewhere is fooling the...

'91 Explorer XLT Stalling by
Dan J
Well, the vacuum leak was found, and fixed.
My o2 sensor was hosed, so it cost me $230 since I don't have the tools
here to fix it.
It's running like a champ!

'91 Explorer XLT Stalling Out by
Dan J
The past 2 years that I have had my Explorer I have noticed that in the
summer it is stalling out. Well yesterday things got really bad with it,
In order to keep it running I have to leave my foot on the gas and place
it in neutral sometimes.
I checked my vacuum lines and found 1 line that was...
