Can anyone help me on rebuilding the automatic locking hubs on the 94' Ford explorer? I recently had the common problem with the touch button switch, which in turn was the servo motor. So with the help of Dr. bob and the others I simply rebuilt the unit. Now when I engage the 4x4 control I have all...

Looking to replace or mod the stock center console for my 92 explorer sport. She is a 5speed, and when im in 2nd or reverse the stick hits cups or cans that are in the cup holder. Large drinks from fast food joints completely block the shift. Anyone know of any console replacements or any mods...

Hi- I am trying to replace the front wheel bearing assemblies on my 02 Ford Explorer XLT V8. I cannot get at the three 15mm bolts that hold the assembly onto the back spindle housing. Does anyone know if these require a special tool? I've tried all sorts of box wrenches. Sockets will not clear...

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...

Will the lowering rod, jack, lug wrench, etc.. from a 1998 or 2003 explorer work on a 2002? I can't get a definite answer from a dealer. thank you in advance

I saw an article yesterday that talked about a sludge problem with certain engines from a number of manufacturers, including VW, Chrysler, Toyota and Saab. The article said that these engines tend to form sludge no matter the driving conditions or maintenance. It appears that they may have hot...

Hi Group, My Ford Explorer'99,77k miles that has problem with vibration. It is vibrating everytime I brake. Also it happens when I run on uneven road. Any input is greatly appreciative.

Typically my 96 explorer will clank and pop while in 2 wheel drive between 30 and 50 MPH, either at a constant speed within that range or during decceleration. This is not a cyclic or periodic clanking, very sporatic, not to any speed on truck (ie engine speed, wheel speed). I noticed that when I...

Would someone please direct me to a site that has all the TSB's for a 10 year old Explorer/Mountaineer without having to pay for the info. Thanks, Steve

I just got back from having the dealer change oil, rotate tires and perform state inspection on my '05 Limited (45,000 miles on it). This dealer has started something new and gave me a seven-page printout of everything their technician "found" to require attention along with the price total of...

On my '93 4.0 Explorer XLT there is a black plastic oblong (or sausage) shaped container of some sort on the passenger side of the motor. It's about 10 inches long and 3-4 inches around and has what appears to be hard plastic vacuum lines attached to it. It's pictured in my cheapie Chilton's...

The trailer lights on my 1993 XLT with factory towing package are not working. When the wiring harness is installed the relays in the back left corner are clicking when activated. It appears that the 12V coming from the battery on the orange wire is not making it to the relays. I can't seem to find...

There was a report in this morning's paper saying that Ford will change the Explorer to a car-based vehicle at the next major update in three years. It said that the new Explorer would be based on the same platform as the 500 and Freestyle. This sounds like the plan is to do a major upgrade to...

Hi folks, My '96 XLT usually fails to illuminate the dome lights and the "headlights on when ignition off" buzzer when I open the driver's door but works for the other doors. I imagine the problem is a sticky "door open" switch or possibly frayed wires to the switch. Any other thoughts? I...

2002 Explorer XLT 4.6L 5-speed automatic, factory tow package. Does anyone have a list of the parameters that can be read by an OBD-II tool from this vehicle? In particular I would like to read the transmission fluid temperature, since I pull a trailer at high altitudes and steep grades. I'm...

I have a 2005 Explorer and have noticed a couple of bass-ackwards ways of dealing with the automatic door locks. This is the first car I've ever seen that does this: First of all when you unlock the doors from the INSIDE, it only unlocks the driver door, unless you hit the unlock again. I unlock...

Look at it this way.... at least it keeps the NG busy. Nuthin' like a little controversy to make folks speak up.... "Backyard Mechanic" > wrote in message ... > Blanca opined...

My gas guage is not werking any more. Electricity off = just above empty. Electricity on= right on empty, not below, not above Negative ground bad? It was working so-so for a few weeks just before it crapped out. It would be on empty and than it would rise up and go to the right place.

Any advance info on significant changes planned for the 06 model year? The design is probably frozen by now, and very little chance of significant changes between now and September. -- ---------- CWLee Former slayer of dragons; practice now limited to sacred cows. Believing we should hire for...
