My coolant drop started in the high 80s, got it replaced in the low 90s via ESP luckily.

After you top off the coolant, mark the level when cool, and monitor to make sure you aren't losing any coolant over the summer. If so you've got other issues, been there done that.

Even though they looked plugged-in, sometimes connectors aren't fully seated even when they look latched. It's a pain, but I would disconnect all of them and check for any bent or broken pins. Check for any debris around the outside of the connector that may prevent it from fully seating. Add a...

Idler pulleys also squeal before they explode...ask me how I know...

Isn't it nuts how a simple connection can wreak so much havoc...

Yeah what he said. My ESP covered a bum water pump, motor mounts, and front control arms at 93K. Don't leave home without it.

Did they confirm the rear sunroof drains were clear? They are harder to get to, as you have to unbolt the glass from inside and shift the whole thing forward

There's a dog bone looking transmission mount that goes bad after a while. There have been posts about it in the recent past I think.

Ah ok, apparently those are called Jcase fuses, and are a pain to remove without breaking them. I read where they can break if you use standard needle-nose pliers, and folks had success with a thin screwdriver and alot of patience. Or something like this

Do you mean the relays? Those are large, square and usually have three prongs, and yes can sometimes stick internally and cause a drain. There shouldn't be any issues pulling those.

Diagnosed by who, the dealer? I'd get a second opinion.

Can't say for sure, but that trim doesn't create water-tight seal, which is around the windshield, so I would go for it it were me. I would make sure your cowl drains are clear and remove and trash these 2 pieces. https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/mystery-part.467400/#post-4016104

There is another thread about this from a few months back, I think they were supposed to get inventory sometime during the summer and let people know.

At 93k, started getting a RF TPMS error a few weeks back at highway speeds, and now it's on pretty much all of the time. Do these normally go bad at higher mileage, or should I try one of those re-learn tools first?

Match up the ohm rating or they will sound like crap. Some oem systems have a strange ohm rating to purposely make it difficult to swap out speakers, i.e. the Ford Mach 460 or the Infiniti Bose systems from awhile back.

Yes it was open and went down from the top. I couldn't see the end of the cleaning tool out of the hole, so it must have hit a bend, but went down pretty far. If the front drains are clogged it'll pool in the front footwells, but if the rears are clogged (and the car is angled down towards the...

My driver's rear actually drained from 2 locations. Haha not sure if it's supposed to do that, but I cleaned them with a flexible cleaning tool from Amazon and it will drain as fast as pour water down it.

Good that you're CPO, I have an ESP and I finally used it after 3 years, they also did 4x motor mounts and front LCAs at the same time. I had them do the serpentine belt tensioner and new belt on my dime. I was hesitant with the diagnosis as well, since the leak wasn't visible, but I guess they...

Mine was dropping at about the same rate, with no visible external leakage, and a few months ago the dealership diagnosed a bad water pump at ~92k and replaced it under my ESP, so I'd stop driving it asap. And that tech is an idiot for saying that. I wouldn't sweat the other thing, you need the...

I bookmarked this thread last week, and mine started doing this today, passenger side went all the way up, then all the way down, then came back to where it should be...foreshadowing...

Here ya go, finally https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/2016-explorer-door-handle-touch-lock-solution.505491/

Wasn't there another thread recently, at the driver side wire harness plug through the door, one of the pins had corroded and was causing a similar issue?

Appreciate the review, but Ugh, that tacked-on screen, was hoping they'd do something more integrated. And touch climate controls? No thanks.

I think someone awhile back said they used a thick bead of that black RTV

I get vibrations / buzzing from mine I can hear in the cabin at highway speeds, and both of the gaskets are split, so I might as well do it.
