problem

Hey all, I just joined the site because I own a '99 Explorer that I plan on keeping for a while. I'm working on getting it up and running because it's been sitting for two years after the reverse gear stopped working. I found it and it looks great for having sat. Engine looks good, just put a...

Last week I just bought a 1998 ford explorer for $1100.00. The car is is beautiful shape and I wanted to make sure everything was up and running within working order. Now on the keychain remote comes with a "red" button which I thought was a alarm,so I decided to push it. It activates obviously...

I recently insatalled Canvasback cargo and seat back covers in my 2013 Exp with power fold seats. First off the Canvasback cover is awesome, with a very nice fit. My problem is with the power fold third row seats. With the covers installed, the power fold will not operate properly. I tried...

I'm experiencing some problem lately with my car, I'm hopping some one could tell me more about what's wrong with my car. this is what happened: When I run into a yellow light and didn't notice it soon enough, I come to a quick stop by pressing the brake hard and all the way. When green light...

Not sure if this belongs here but ill try it. I just put in 2 new front speakers and plan on doing the back just haunt had a chance. The speakers sound great but when i put the panels back on and screwed everything in there is now a problem. I cannot lock or unlock the doors from the...

I'm currently having problems with my backup lights, They worked when i first bought the truck, but now they don't wanna work for some reason. I was almost hit today backing out of a parking spot and would like a quick "cheap" fix. If anyone could help me be much appreciated! :D I have changed...

Hello, I have a 2001 Explorer XLT that I just bought and I am having problems with the front driver's door power window. The auto down feature will only take the window down about 1cm and if I hold down the button from there it moves at a snail's pace down until its about 2/3's of the way...

So this may be an odd question. My house came with a Chamberlain garage door opener, but I have an issue with the remote. My remote does not work when it's on the visor. It doesn't matter if it's on my visor or the passenger. I've tried new batteries, I bought a new remote, I checked the antenna...

the other day my 2004 Sport Trac died while i was driving down the road. i towed it to the house, and determined the fuel pump was bad by: 1) listening to the tank (no buzzing when key is turned to run) 2) checked the fuel pump fuse, still good 3) checked the relay connections for power, got...

clutch worked fine then I let someone else drive it and now the pedal works backwards. I push down and it's in gear I release and the trans is disengaged but am still unable to shift gears. Have to kill the engine to up the trans in and out of gear. Plenty of fluid, any ideas on how to fix with...

Hey guys, so I have a 2006 Explorer 4.0 and lately it has been idling around 1700 rpm after a cold start. The revs go back down after driving for a little bit, but the car still idles rough. Also whenever the engine is revved and is going back to idle you can hear a slight popping noise. It is...

... for some reason Ford isn't providing Sync Services in Canada, even simple things like vehicle health. Canadians haven't had access to Sync for years now, with no explanation from Ford Canada .... so please vote and lets see if Ford really does pay attention to their Ford Story site! (If...

I recently changed the spark plugs in my '98 Explorer 4.0 SOHC to try and fix a pinging problem during cold starts. Pinging is still there, but better, and my MPG has skyrocketed. However, whenever I tow my 1300 lb boat and trailer it feels like I am STRUGGLING to accelerate! Before I...

I drive a 98 AWD Explorer. I bought it in 2005, at which time the air temperature control was not working. So essentially, I could either get hot air with the heater or vents on, and cold air with the AC. But I could turn the system off and close the vents as well. A while ago, the AC...

So recently, I had a #7 Cylinder Misfire in my 1996 AWD V8 Explorer. I got the plugs, wires, and coil packs changed with brand new ones, and now I have a misfire on Cylinder #5. Anyone know what could have happened? I get the code P0305 and sometimes the check engine light flashes. Before the...

I have had a 95 explorer for about a month now and everything is fixed on it except for this whining sound. It only occurs while driving but when you let off the gas the noise will go away. The whine is more loud at some speeds than others which really throws me off. I have put some transmission...

So to make things easier for you to understand, I have a 96 Ford Explorer Limited V8 AWD. Just last week, I checked my transmission fluid, and it was burned and darkish brown, but the transmission was shifting just fine. I made an appointment for the following week for a fluid & filter change...

Hi all, first post, saw a lot of info here so I figured I'd give it a try... The easiest way to describe the symptom I am getting is that the explorer seems to "coast" anytime I let off the gas. When the shifter is in 1, 2, or 3, when you let off the gas engine braking should take place, but...

So I am currently looking at a very bad (potentially good) situation with my father's 2002 Explorer Limited. Awhile ago he replaced his engine due to the notorious timing chain problem. His plan was to replace it and sell it in the summer. However recently he ran into troubles again! At this...

My car has a problem. When it idles, whether just started or at a traffic light. The electrical power seems to fluctuate. The clock gets dim and then normal brightness over and over, same as all the rest of the lights(headlights, etc). So it only happens at idle, so...any ideas? Thanks:D

The check engine light does come on when i put the key to "on" when i turn it to start the ebrake light, and check oil light come on along with the door chimer. Also when at on the abs light is...

hello all, I have a 2000 xls 4x4, and my cruise control does not work. the "speed control" light comes on, but nothing happens. also my tachometer goes in and out, sometimes thumping the window of the instrument panel is what brings it back on. any thoughts? thanks, John :exp::us::thumbsup:

I have a 97 ford explorer and the A/C or Heat will NOT blow when I turn on either of them. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Just recently my explorer has started to shake when I start it...It will start to shake then the engine revs up comes down and it stops but...as soon as I put it into drive and start to move it will shake again but stops as I speed up and can maintain a speed but...once I stop and then have to...
