Has anyone heard whether Ford has plans to offer a diesel in the Explorer? I am talking about a modern type of diesel, not the farm tractor type usually installed in vehicles here. I have ridden in some in Europe and Australia where the noise and vibration was so low it was difficult to know it...

The "Service Engine Soon" light just came on in my 2002 Explorer XLS. Isn't there some way to make the actual code display by . . . oh, I don't know . . .. turning the key a certain number of times while it's turned off or something like that? I just know there is SOME WAY to do this. I'm...

I'm thinking of buying one of these. Around £25 on ebay. I know nothing at all about them. Are the more expensive ones that connect to a PC more useful? I have a '99 ford explorer, (UK spec, V6), and get the Suspension warning light, only when towing my caravan, and only after about an hour. If I...

I have been losing coolant (tried adding leak-sealer liquid) and a repair guy told me that I need a new water pump. He is asking $260 for the parts and labor. I called another radiator fix-it shop and they want $300 for the same job. I have a '97 xlt sohc with 230k. What do yall think?

I've read a little about this problem before. 1998 Explorer XLT 4WD Both the 4WD HI and 4WD LO lights flash 5 times every few minutes. From what I'd read, the problem is usually either a poor connection to the speed sensor or the speed sensor itself. Apparantly there is a TSB out on it. I called...

My '96 Explorer has a tan colored dashboard. While carting some supplies, I managed to get it scuffed in a few places on the air bag panel above the glove box, resulting in what appears to be a greyish vinyl background showing through. There are no gouges to speak of -- it looks like just...

I just replaced my fan clutch on my '91 XLT (4.0 V6 EFI) with one that I got from Auto Zone's online store. It looks exactly like the OEM Ford part but it makes a loud whining noise when I accelerate. It says "Made in China." The description was "heavy duty for fast revving engines" or something...

I have a 1998 Explorer; V8; 107,000 miles. The steering binds up when trying to turn. Then it "releases" and turns normal. You can feel it binding up on something then it releases with a low clunk noise. The pump and rack have no signs of leakage. Any suggestions? Thanks Rob

Our car has the front and rear a/c units. The other day a solenoid in the left rear quarter panel started clicking. This is where the rear fan, etc. is located. It sounds like a very large clock ticking You can turn the rear unit on with either the front control or the rear control and the...

we have a 95 exp with a security system that won't let you start the truck and it keeps malfunctioning i've messed with the wires sometimes it works but now it won't do anything

Googled this one to see if I could find a way to test the ballast or the neon bulb. Came up empty handed. Went to get car inspected tonight and found out it wasn't working. Any info would be appreciated. Time to go have a beer. Later, Rich

Have a CEL reporting between codes 401-402. check voltage with engine warm getting tween 4&5 volts. Reset with code tester. A few engine cycles later Cel comes on with either code. Or could it be vacuum regulator tests tween 30 & 50 ohms. New egr as well as riser tube off ex manifold any info...

My 2001 XLT 4x4 has a slight drip from the front differential cover. I have 2 questions: Is a gasket required or can I use something like RTV or Form-a-Gasket? What's the correct fluid to use in the diff for refilling? Thanks for the help.

Guys, I am trying to figure out why my CC isn't working. The fuses are all good, the controls on the steering wheel check, power, everything. Still, it won't work. Ironically, the only thing that I did was leave it parked for 2 weeks while I was in Regina for a horse show, and when I got back, the...

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...
