2006 explorer

2006 Explorer XLT Tried putting aftermarket bulbs into my cluster (I know now it was a very stupid idea) blew the whole damn thing, not as simple as just changing a fuse unfortunately. Gauges are accurate and still work just don’t have dash lights and the message center doesn’t work. Don’t...

V8 explorer 2006 - 270k miles The problem I'm having is when accelerating. Any light pressure on the gas causes a stutter/vibration from what I think is the transmission. Any significant press on the gas it accelerates fine. Good response. No hesitation and actually gets up nicely.. no issues...

I've just acquired '06 Explorer when my guypal died several months back. Started it weekly (to move to cut grass and drove it only a little bit [because I was advised by long-time mechanic friend it needed tires]); then one week, mysteriously to me, when the key was turned, it was dead quiet...

I have a dual zone automatic climate control system. The blower motor does not turn off even though the off button is depressed. The blower only turns off when the car is turned off. All other controls on the climate control panel seem to work, ie heat control, AC, vent, etc. The blower only...

I am posting this as a new thread so others won't have to go through the same hassle I did to get an answer on this one. I had the CEL come on and when scanned code P0108 was listed which indicates manifold absolute pressure is too high. No big deal, there has to be a sensor just for this (or...

I have a 2006 Explorer 4x4 and was driving to work when I made a pass of a slow moving vehicle, but the explorer kicked in to passing gear and just a few seconds later, I noticed smoke from my rear view mirror. I made it to work with no loss of power, but the temp gauge was moving from hot to...
