You need an Acetylene Torch Set to heat them up.

Most Ford Brake Lines are 3/16. You will need Unions after you cut the rusted lines. The Brake Lines use a Double-Flare for proper sealing. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=316121

I agree with JD, 20-Amps is too small for the Fan. Try putting two 30-Amp Fuses in Parallel. This will help with the In-rush Current, when the Fan first starts, which is usually 5-times normal running current.

The Capacitor is used to Filter Noise from the Coil Pack. It prevents feedback into the Radio. Leave it unplugged.

Welcome to the Site. Good Luck with the Ex. I wouldn't part with either of mine.

I would have drove down to Atlanta for that find. Congrats

You may have grounded the Coil Secondary Voltage Output for too long and damaged the Coil.

Diode Check Reply I would leave the Noise Suppressor unhooked from the Circuit. It is only a Filter Capacitor and probably not the source of the issue. The PCM Diode can be checked with an Analog Volt-Ohm (Needle-Type) on the Diode Test Range. You could also check it with a good quality Digital...

Short Detector Insert a Short Detector in place on Fuse 19, then get a Electrical Schematic for the Loads on this Fuse and verify each circuit individually. If you can't find a Short Detector fabricate one using Seal-Beam Headlamp, attach some lead wires to it with some blade terminals and...

PB Blaster is your friend. Two or Three Applications a day for a few days should be enough with a Good Quality Snap-On or Craftsmans Spark Plug Socket. Good Luck

I have seen this happen on Nissans in the Past. The issue is usually caused by a Loss of Torque on the B+ Cable (Main 12VDC Power Lead) Attachment Nut. It starts as Minor Arcing at the Alternator Stud and as the loss of torque increases over time, the Arcing Increases until Alternator Function...

Remove the Starter and Bench Test it with Jumper Cables and a Battery. You must use a Jumper Wire to Jump the Starter Solenoid to Positive Battery Terminal. Good Luck

Mine did the same thing about two years ago. You will need to order the complete Shift Cable Assembly from Ford. Check your Ball for excessive rust. Put a little Lithium Grease on the Ball prior to attaching the new cable.

Also check your Plastic Fan for Cracking too.

I think you reversed the Brush Positon at the Commutator. DC Motors are designed to work in both directions. I think reversing the wire position that was previously mentioned is a better then taking everything apart to reverse the brushes.

Reply It don't take much to total a 2nd Gen. My Mountaineer was stolen last year and later recovered with a dented fender, quarter panel dent, scratched body side mouldings, lost PATS Key and they totaled it. I bought it back from the Insurance Company and have got it about 85%. Best of Luck to...

Reply It sounds like you have Excessive Current Draw on the Battery when the Vehicle is turned off. To confirm this, take off the Negative Battery Cable when you turn off the vehicle overnight. Reattach the Cable in the morning and see if the vehicle will start. If the Battery Drain is...

Reply At first you need to check the resistance through the Relay Coil. The Relay Coil Terminals should be marked on the Cover. The resistance should be less than 10 ohms. High Resistance (> 1 Meg-Ohm) means the Relay Coil is Open. Most Automotive Relays are either SPST (Single-Pole/Single...

Reply http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=316121 This link might help you. I don't know the exact Metric Brake Line Nut Size for the Rear Wheel Cylinders. You need a good Double-Flaring Tool and Tubing Cutter.

Glad you finally got through the Test. You have alot of miles on that engine. I am at 158k, only one cracked head and a A4LD Rebuild.

Short Detector Make a Short Detector from a old Seal-Beam Headlamp or a 1157 Dual Filament Bulb/Socket (Tie-each filament in parallel). Solder or crimp some male terminals on the two wires from the lamp and insert them in place of the fuse. If the Short is Present, the Lamp will be on "Full...

Sorry, I didn't include any pictures on the previous post on dropping the tank. It has been about two months ago and I think their is two additional bolts that hold the fuel tank shield (Rear Axle Side of the Tank). The straps are under the shield. I would take the small cover off just to get...

I think he is talking about the Coil Spring Bucket. My Driver's Side is in bad condition but has failed yet. I plan on changing mine in the Autumn Season. I got two good replacements from another member on the site.

I agree go the Antioch Inspection Station. They are not picky like other stations I have been. Hopefully you will pass the Sniff Test. Do the Alcohol thing just prior to the test.

Best way is to use an Oscilloscope to verify the Pre-Amp Outputs for the Head Unit (Radio) at the Amp Inputs. If there is a waveform present on the inputs to the Amp when the Radio is on with a CD, the problem is local to the Amp. If no waveform is present the issue is the Head Unit.
