    Bought new.....99 Explorer sport. Rebuilt transmission 4 years ago. OD light comes on after 5 miles of driving and shifting is affected on the low end. Is there a bolt on component that is causing this? Thanks, Chuckwagon

    How do I disable driver's door dinging bell

    The door chime sounds with or without the key inserted. Anytime the door is open even a centimeter it chimes. I have the seats down in the back with milk crate storage. I often open the door, move the seat forward and get various items for projects or sports. The door chimes the entire...

    How do I disable driver's door dinging bell

    I have a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport. Just today I had a garage replace the turn signal flasher relay. Now when the driver's door is opened I get the "Bell ringing" sound. DING! DING! DING! It has not done this in years. I think it did when I bought it new in 1999, but I really can't...

    CAN'T FIND TURN SIGNAL FLASHER!

    It's fixed! Took it to a local garage and they installed a new flasher. Cost some bucks but worth it! I couldn't go in the work area but I could see that the little mechanic doing the work was wound-up under the dash in a way that I could NEVER achieve! :):):)

    CAN'T FIND TURN SIGNAL FLASHER!

    Thanks Husk! I would like to find and replace the flasher first. I found the emergency flasher and it clicks and works fine. If I could find the location of the turn signal flasher I could do a quick swap and either fix the problem or eliminate the flasher as the problem If you know of...

    Can't find PCV valve

    '99 Explorer cold start won't work

    My explorer would not run after cranking unless I "pumped" the gas pedal. Then it would die. I took off the engine cover and there is a device on top of the engine. I tapped it a couple of times and it ran ok for a week. It did the same thing two more times about 5 days apart. What is...
