    My rear passenger window is not working.

    Every time I have had a power lock or window issue I have traced it back to the wires in the boot between the front drivers side door hinges. Regardless of the door having trouble, that is where I have found the trouble. Actually my electric mirror defrost wires broke at that location a few...

    Please help!!1998 4x4 VSpeedSensor where is this thing!!

    I am having a similar problem but no abs light coming on. Did you ABS light come on without a bad cable/wire? My speedometer typically works for a 1 to 5 miles and either stops working or bounces up and down and then stop working. Like you, changed the diff sensor and visually checked the...

    Overdrive Light O/D Flashes & Code P0761 pulls up

    Fixed It After all this time it was just a broken wire at the base of the shift lever. The wire from the overdrive button (thin black wire) was worn and shorted on the column. The fuse kept blowing as soon as I put it in gear and this prevented the backup lights from working and then the...

    Can I Please Get A Picture

    I don't think so Check the back by the firewall. It is in the area of K 2 on your grid and I had to use a mirror to see it. I think it sits lower than the black intake piece. The part does look like the one I replaced and I needed to also change the drive gear. This was the same 4.0 that I...

    Ticking noise under a load 5.0 302

    Thanks for the suggestions and ideas. As it turned out, the EGR tube from the exhaust manifold to the EGR valve had a slight visible crack. After I removed it I found a much bigger crack on the back side. No more TICK TICK, love it!

    Ticking noise under a load 5.0 302

    Is there a common area to check for a leak on the manifold itself? Any reason I hear it only under a load?

    Ticking noise under a load 5.0 302

    I have a 1998 X with a 5.0 302. I hear a ticking noise when the engine is under a load at 1800 to 2000 rpm. Without a load (in park) you can't hear the noise so it is very hard to detect where it is coming from under the hood. It sounds a little differnent than a lifter ticking so I think it...

    Can I Please Get A Picture

    CPS problem solved I was able to find this by using a mirror up against the firewall. I changed it out and saved around $350. Here are a couple things I learned... 1) Remove the transmission mount nuts and jack up the tailshaft a few inches for extra clearance. 2) Remove the the plactic air...

    Camshaft Position Sensor 4.0 CPS CMS

    My brother needed his Explorers camshaft postion sensor changed so I found the sensor in the back of the engine and it looks like a real bear to replace. Is there a trick to getting to it or am I looking at a real challenge. This is a 1996 6 cylinder 4.0 with AC, an AC line appears to go right...

    99 X flat spot/hesitation

    Seems to be OK Ok, after a couple of weeks now I feel pretty good that the problem is solved. I ended up changing the plugs and it seemed a little better. After talking to a friend, he suggested that a misfire under a load was probably due to a bad plug wire. I changed them and the problem...

    99 X flat spot/hesitation

    Replaced the plugs Thanks for the reply. The truck has 67000 miles so I changed the plugs. Inspecting them I saw no signs of fouling. The problem seemed to go away, but no dice. Did you ever change your vehicle speed sensor? I was thinking about trying this because it went out on my...

    99 X flat spot/hesitation

    Did you Solve It? Were you able to solve the engine misfire? I have a 1998 and around 1500-1600 RPM I get a really bad misfire. I am trying plugs and wires since I have them but I wondered if you solved your problems and if so how.

    Rear Pad Double Tabs Top or Bottom?

    hmmmm... OK I'm still not sure that the picture tells the story. Here is another way to ask my question. Working on the driver side (left), does the caliper rotate on clockwise or counter clockwise? I seem to remember a thread from a while back that said you could switch pads from side to...

    Rear Pad Double Tabs Top or Bottom?

    The rear inner and outer pads on my 98 Ex. have two tabs at one end of the pad and one tab at the other. These tabs fit into the stainless sliders. The double tab ends are at the bottom and the single tabs are at the top as you mount the caliper. I can't find a picture of these but while...

    Common 5.0 Oil Leaks?

    I have the smell of buring oil coming from the engine compartment. It seems to be coming from the driver side but I don't see any visible leaks. Looking through the wheel well, the driver side frame seems to be a little wet with oil. Any direction anyone has would be great. I really don't...

    Power Window Problems

    It has the lens and the hole Yes it has the lens and the hole. I don't understand why they did not use it. It seem like a good safety and convenience feature. Not a big deal but why not? I will do the Pass side today.

    Power Window Problems

    Solved It!! I found 2 wires broken inside the rubber boot that connects the driver door to the body. The light blue with black stripe wire was thicker than most. I checked continuity between the switch and behind the dash and found it was dead. Cut into the boot and it was completly...

    Where is the GEM and how do you disconnect it on a 98 EB. The basic behind the dash is not helping me find it. Are these a recall item?
