Same issues with my 2013 Limited. Intelligent Access fob does not work at all except in the emergency pocket. I've been driving around with the fob in the pocket for several years and it just stays there all the time. If and when I have to lock the car (rarely), I have to use the emergency key...

Thanks for this great thread. I had this job done by my Ford dealership, and it has been a nightmare. I had to take my Ex to an independent shop to get the fuel leak repaired. Now, it appears that my engine is losing oil rapidly (appx 1 qt every 2 wx or so) after this job was done. Is there a...

Thank you for the reply, that's exactly where the leak is. Where the high pressure hard line connects to the rails. I don't see any fasteners here; how does this come apart? Does it just press fit with an O-ring?

Great thread! Has anyone had a problem with fuel leak after doing this job? I'm suspecting injector o-rings.

I’ll check to make sure I didn’t lose coolant into the lube system, but my heat is fixed! Added about 1/2 gallon of 50/50 to the reservoir and followed the burp procedure outlined in the video. Heat!

So, I checked my coolant reservoir, COLD, this morning. It was empty. Yeah. I think I'm getting warm. Will get a gallon of 50/50 this afternoon and fill it, burp it, and then see where I am.

Saving this for later

I'm having a very similar problem, hoping I can get some troubleshooting and advice for my 2013 Limited. I recently had the Ex at the dealership for some routine maintenance, and they did a coolant replacement. She has about 130,000 miles, so yeah, that was due. Shortly after, I started...

Anybody used Arctic Freeze R134A recharge kit on your fifth gen? How were your results?

Just want to drop my experience here. 2013 Explorer Limited, at about 100,000 miles the backup camera crapped out. I looked around for a cheap replacement on Ebay, Amazon, etc., but never trusted what I was seeing. So I purchased a replacement from fordparts.com. A good bit more expensive...

Yes, thanks. I think it has a lot to do with whether you park your EX nose up or nose down. I generally park nose down. I have had water in the back before, but it's dry right now. I tested the front drains left and right and they both drain a full 16 oz of water in a matter of seconds...

My 2013 is leaking for the second time. It was repaired in 2014 and yesterday morning I went out to find 2" of water standing in the passenger side footwells (front and 2nd row). So that made for an interesting morning with the shop vac. Sunroof drain tubes are flowing fine. I think it's...

My air conditioning suddenly stopped working a couple days ago. I did not notice any unusual issues before it quit. It was cooling well, and then all of a sudden stopped blowing cold. No noises or anything. The compressor does not even try to engage. Any ideas on things I could try to...

First, make sure you've touched the "Auto" button and that the "Auto" light is illuminated. Second, what happens when you just put it on Auto 70 and leave it there? Third, just as an FYI, the rear HVAC is not controlled by the auto climate control, so make sure that your rear HVAC is manually...

If you have a burning oil smell in the cabin while the vehicle is standing still, my guess would be that you have some oil dripping from the PTU on to the exhaust manifold. I'm not able to tell much from your pictures, though.
