    AC Compressor Question

    On my 95 XLT the compressor is not engaging. Two years ago I had refrigerant added (66.00) by a local shop and the AC worked fine all summer. Last year turned the AC on in the summer and again no cold air and the compressor did not engage. This time the same shop charged me 103.00 to add...

    95XLT Tranny Shift Question

    Had a full rebuild done 3 weeks ago. Band on 2nd gear needed replacing. Prior to the rebuild, for several winters now, on cold days here in the Northeast it took quite a bit of time for the engine torque converter to kick in and shift normally. It would not shift properly from 3rd to 4th until...

    Did a search but unable to find an answer to my specific question. Just returned from the repair shop and had my AC fixed on my 95 Explorer. The compressor was not coming on and they determined it was a defective AC switch that is located under the hood on the passenger side, and taps into a...

    Link For Dealer Invoice Price

    I have a friend who's looking to buy a new van or car. Wants to have an idea of what the dealer invoice is. I did a search but only thing I could find was Consumer Reports will send you a report for 12 bucks but only for a specific vehicle. My fiend is too cheap to spend the 12 bucks...

    Keypad Light Out

    Yesterday my key pad light went out. I use the feature frequently, always forgeting my keys to retrieve items in the vehicle. I am hoping this is only a small bulb or diode in the keypad and doesn't mean the whole keypad needs replacing. Before ripping the door panel off I would like to know...

    Tranny Question Please

    My question: is there a transmission modulator valve on the 95 Explorers? I have done a search and found no information. It appears 94 and lower have these valves located under the heat shield on right side of tranny. My Haynes manual is of no help since it does not list the years of which have...

    Rotors And Brake Pad Question

    Just dropped off my X for the annual State Inspection. Thought I'd treat myself and have the shop do a complete brake job. I trust this shop and I have requested they do this for the past two years and each time they tell me your brakes are still good. I bought the 95 X used in 98 with 30k, it...

    Squeaky Door Question

    Do any of you guys (or gals) experience front doors that squeak when opening and closing? Since I got my 95X in 98 my doors have constantly squeaked. I have pinpointed the location, it's the same on both front doors. It is where the door meets the thick rubber weather stripping by the rear...

    Message Center Compatibility

    Does anybody know if a message center will work in my 95X. It's supposed to fit 95-99 Explorers in place of where the storage compartment on the console goes. I poped my storage compartment out but did not find any unused wire harness. I suspect these came in the Eddie Bauer edition only...

    Americans, It's Who We Are

    An open letter to a terrorist: Well, you hit the World Trade Center, but you missed America. You hit the Pentagon, but you missed America. You used helpless American bodies, to take out other American bodies, but like a poor marksman, you still missed America. Why? Because of...

    Oil Puddle after cleaning MAF?

    This board is great, I have learned so much in a short period of time and want to thank everyone that contributes their opinions and advise. My 95X periodically has a slight drop in RPM for only a moment. After reading about the MAF sensor I thought perhaps this may be the cause and decided to...

    Disappointed In Monroe Reflex Shocks

    I just put on a set of 4 Monroe Reflex shocks and am not impressed. My 95 XLT has 49 K and after 6 years I thought it was time. My CD player has been skipping a little more lately over bumps so this gave me incentive to change. Originally I was going to put Bilsteins on but after reading...

    Tranny Shifting Problems

    Bought my 95 XLT in 98 with 30K miles. As soon as I got the vehicle (September) I had the tranny fluid and filter changed at a local Tranny shop. That winter I had no problems. In the winter of 99 I found the vehicle would not shift from 2 to 3rd until I drove for about 2 miles or more. If I let...
