    Blower motor (I think) just died

    After a couple hours yesterday, its not the blower motor. I pulled everything out and plugged a new one in and nothing. Came back inside and researched more and I've been having symptoms of a failing speed control intermittently since I bought it. I put everything back together with the old...

    Explorer 1998 5r55e tranny problem

    best of luck, all i can say is avoid driving it until its fixed as much as possible. i let mine blink for about 2 months and what started out as the same as yours (torque converter clutch solinoid) ended up being an entire transmission overhaul because it threw off gear ratios, shredded metal...

    HVAC random blast

    When I drive my 99 SOHC (160,000 miles) it will randomly turn the heat or a/c on to full blast for a few seconds then shut off.
