Sway bar links are a good idea. Replaced those about 10 years ago I think so they may be due.

My '06 is doing the same thing. Just started about a month or two ago.

Following this.

Speaking of LED's not heating up enough, the city, a few years ago, went through and replaced all the stop lights with LEDs to save time and money of replacement costs. Now, when we get heavy blowing snow, the lens fill up with snow and you can't see the lights as well, if at all. So now...

Never imagined this could happen but it did. During our -20 degree days here recently, I went out to warm up the Explorer. Scraping snow off the car, I dropped my keys into the snow. Almost couldn't find them in the snow drift. Finally found them, brushed the snow off and started the car...

My wifes expedition had a similar switch also.

I think 94 Eddie may be right about availability. I did some quick searches on Dorman, Ebay and Amazon and couldn't find a new replacement for the 4th gen explorer. Your best bet will be a salvage yard. I looked at the Flex shifter I have here and compared it to the explorer switch. The...

Had the same issue when I bought my '06. Found the little button on the floor next to the console, sort of tucked along the seat rail. I thought it was broken off the switch but realized I could just push it back on to the switch face and it clicked into place. This was AFTER I bought a...

I've done some searching and so far haven't found that option. Anyone else heard of this? If so, is there a way to activate it?

Me neither. I'd love to have that option!

Thanks Eddie! That's the part I was trying to think of. The place I went to recommended that be changed so I had them do it. They said it's something most shops miss.

Most of the horror stories I've heard about is when they do a flush on the transmission. Just dropping the pan and replacing the lost fluid usually doesn't present problems. Good time to check the filter and the pan seal. You might want to seek out a transmission shop with experience with...

Cleaning between the A/C condensor and the radiator. He thought maybe there's an accumulation of stuff between the two. It's difficult to get the fins really cleaned well because the two are so close together. So not remove the radiator, just to loosen the radiator and give more space to get...

I've had the exact same problem; no A/C, no problem; turn on A/C get overheated. Happens on highway driving and city streets, exactly as you described. Took it to my regular mechanic and he recommends loosening the radiator to get in between the radiator and condensor to really get a good...

V-6 or V-8?
