We have a '21 Limited. I am disappointed with the light output of the headlamps. My '19 Ranger has significantly better light output as compared to the Explorer. The output just seems weak, especially for an led headlamp. I had to adjust them upwards when I did the light on garage door...

I noticed last week that the parking brake light on the dash was not working. Apparently the wiring is too short and easily breaks. I discovered that Ford is also aware of this as they have created a repair kit. Took all of 10 minutes ot repair. The kit is WPT-1197. Hope this helps someone.

So my '09 Sport Trac is now approaching 100k miles. Excellent condition, and the Carfax shows it was well maintained by previous owner as well as by me. I bought it with 80k miles. I do not find an indication that the transmission has ever been serviced. I am looking for thoughts, especially...

So I have been having issues with my interior map lights and sun visor lights not working. In addition, the puddle lamps and interior lights were not coming on when unlocking the doors. I hooked up my laptop and used Forscan to come up with some codes. The codes are in the Smart Junction Box. I...

So after doing some searches both on this forum and on-line in general I can't seem to find anything that definitively shows me where the PCV valve is and how to replace it on my '09 with the 4.0. Anyone have any good guidance? The videos I have found so far are practically useless. I have about...

Like many of us, I have bitten by the broken defroster arm problem. In my case, the end of the arm broke off and is stuck in the flap inside the heater box. I have seen different methods of trying to deal with this, but I wonder is anyone has tried the following. I am wondering if pulling the...

I have never had this happen before. I am trying to re-adjust my headlamps because I had adjusted them a little higher than I prefer. Using measurements to the center mark on the lense I attempted to get them down to where they need to be. The passenger side one adjusted with no problem, but the...

I was looking around the engine compartment of my new to me 2009 Sport Trac 4x4 and I have noticed a hose that is a bit of mystery to me. The hose is under the battery trey, sitting on top of the wheel well. The hose is black and has a white plastic cap on it that has a round end on it. What is...

Does anyone know how to turn off the extra courtesy wipe feature where the wipers come back on for one more wipe after the windshield has been cleaned? My new to my 2009 Sport Trac does this and it is annoying. I do not have the message center feature beyond the standard one, so I do not know...

I am having issues trying to program a second key fob for my 2009 Sport Trac. I have followed the procedures to get the truck in programming mode, but it will not go into this mode to allow me to attempt to set up the second fob. Any ideas on why it will not go into programming mode? I have done...

I am not the seller. I do not know the seller. There is a NOS Grey driver's seat side trim valance panel on Ebay for a 2003-2005 Sport Trac. It is for a cloth seat, power seat vehicle. Item # 332682960927. I have set my Ebay account to send me Sport Trac part notifications and this popped up...

I have a 2005 Sport Trac with 131k miles on it. It has been maintained very well, including transmission service every 50k. The truck has a Class III receiver as well as an external transmission cooler, but honestly it has not pulled much of anything during its life. Over the past few weeks I am...

It is time to replace the brake lamp switch on our '04 Explorer. In looking for a replacement it seems that every one I am finding requires spicing into the factory wiring to install. Is there a true plug and play replacement switch for our Explorer's?

The headlamps in my sons 2004 Explorer had become cloudy and also were allowing moisture in so I ordered replacements housings from Rock Auto. I purchased some TYC branded that are NSF certified, fit is great, look is great, but I have one question regarding light beam pattern. When aligning...

Ok, I am at a loss here. My '04 Explorer has developed wet carpet on the passenger side. I do have a sunroof. I have read several threads on here and I have tested various drains, including cowl and sunroof, and all are working properly. My headliner is dry, and the only area wet is the carpet...

I have a question regarding the results I am seeing after running the built-in "Bezel Diagnostics" on my 2013 Ford Edge. In the APIM diagnostics area it is indicating 2 odd things. First off, my Edge is an SEL model. The 2 odd things I am seeing are that the SDARS module (sat. radio) is...

We are having an unusual problem with the heat/defroster settings in our '04 Explorer with manual temp control. Fortunately we are not having a temperature issue, as hot and cold work properly, but what we are experiencing is that on the right side of the airflow control (heat, defrost, blend)...

I have discovered that the sunroof wind deflector is broken on our '04 Explorer. If you open yours you will see that there are 2 clips that attached the deflector to the sunroof frame. One of my clips has broken. I don't think I can repair the clip. Has anyone ever had to replace this deflector...

Our 2004 has now moved from being the weekend/travel vehicle to being our commuter, and it is also now parked outside every night. I have always been interested in adding the heated mirrors, but searches on here are somewhat conflicting on whether or not it is a plug and play upgrade. Can anyone...

So my 2004 Explorer with 4.0 has the P0401 code. I wish the dpfe sensor were a separate part, but on the '04 it is built onto the egr valve (though it does have 2 hoses that go to it/from it). Has anyone been able to clean the egr related passages and keep this code cleared for good? Do I simply...

I have an '05 Sport Trac. The OE head unit has the speed volume feature but it is obviously not wired up from the factory through the wiring harness. Does anyone know how I can run my own wire and make this feature work? I really like this feature in my wife's '04 and would like to get this to...

Well I finally got bitten by the rear wheel bearing bug. What a pain!! Both bearings were bad. Main symptom I had was noise, though about a month a go I developed an occassioanl "sway" feeling in the rear end. I finally had my wife drive the truck and me follow her, and when doing this I could...

For those of that have had the rear speed sensor (or ABS Sensor as it is also called) fail what were your early symptoms? I believe mine is failing but at this point it has not set a code in the system. My main symptom is it feels like the 4x4 is engaging/disengaging on its own. And maybe...

Just purchased an '05 XLT. It does not have the fog lights installed. It does have the auto lamp system. My question is, has anyone installed fog lamps on an '05 XLT like mine and did you find the wiring already in place and that it was basically a plug and play situation with simply adding...

Having an odd issue with an '05 Sport Trac I just picked up. Basically when I open the drivers door the interior lights do not come on. I have tried spraying WD-40 in the latch but so far has not helped. Also probably related, but the auto lock feature will not work properly, causing the...
