I would have to look at a 4 door rocker and dog leg to see how it would work.
I cut the rust off about 5 or 6 inches up from the bottom, primed and painted it to slow the progression. Both sides are about the same.
Come to think of it, the doors do have similar geometry, just not as much curve where the panel flares out at the wheel well. Do you have pics of how you did that?
I got a lift gate at a local salvage yard a while back; as I recall they had a couple of Sports in there, if the panels are in good shape on 1 of them they might let me cut out what I need so I can mig them on.
Thanks
I've replaced the rocker panels, now I need to replace the panel just in front of the rear wheel. It
Here's a pic, same year and color of my vehicle(just in better shape)
The panel I need is circled in green.
I opened the rear lift gate glass on my explorer, when I did one of the screws/bolts that on the top hinge came out and the shock pushed it up on that side. Needless to say it shattered into 10,000 pieces.
I've had trouble with the screws loosening up before, this is the first time one popped...
Anyway, there should be a metal tag attached to one of the inspection cover bolts, it will tell you the ratio. There may be only a tag on the rear one, but they should be the same ratio.
It could still be a short somewhere in the harness. I'd start by checking the obvious/easy to get to places. Then look for anything that's been taped, and anything that looks wonky.
You should check the plugs for the harness first from the PCM to everything under the dash/steering column. My...
I think you have a short somewhere in the harness, possibly between the ignition switch and the cruise control.
Have you ever seen a little puff of smoke come out of the steering column? or maybe a crackling sound?
Can you make a video of the vehicle idling, with the hood up looking into the engine so we can hear it?
I'm too lazy to go back and read the beginning of this post, so; is the engine rough only at idle or do you notice a miss anywhere else during acceleration?
Well, nothing ever goes wrong with electronics.
Anyway, there has to be a mechanical connection to the throttle for the cruise control to operate, there is an adjustment there, and it can cause idle problems.
