    4x4 auto, 2004 explorer

    I did the Brown Wire Mod to diagnose the condition, I am still getting the clunk noise at 20 MPH on deceleration in 2wd. Any idea on what it could be ? it seems to be related to a downshift but I am not sure.

    4x4 auto, 2004 explorer

    You are correct, the 4x4 module was eliminated for the 2004 and 2005 model years, and in reading other posts I was under the impression that pulling that relay in the engine bay would disconnect 4x4 high and 4x4 low, but leave the 4x4 auto feature intact because it operates differently ( somehow...

    04 stuck in 4x4

    Is there any way to install a switch to cut the power to the magnetic clutch ( to lock it into 2wd ) . And if you did this, would you be able to use worn tires on an axle without causing any damage to anything ? ( when running at highway speeds in 2wd )

    Rear wheel bearing failure

    Hi guys, I recently had my rear wheel bearings replace on my 2004 explorer, now one is wasted after only 10k miles. It was a National bearing and my research leads me to believe that they are usually a good bearing. I did have an alignment done after the replacement. any idea what may have...

    No crank issue 2004 EX

    Everything checked out in the power distrubution box, so I proceeded to jack the vehicle up and pull the starter. When I got under there I found that the 14ga. trigger wire for the solenoid had broken at the ring terminal. I double checked to make sure I had good voltage at the end of the...

    lack of heat

    If you are getting hot air anywhere in the cabin then your problem is not with the heater core or engine. It sounds to me that the door that directs the air flow is stuck or broken, ( probably to the floor position ) I had to manually force my defroster door open to get sufficent air flow to the...
