broken

Greetings all, My Girlfriend has a 2004 Explorer XLT, and the hatch won't open. She got her coat sleeve stuck in the bottom of the hatch, and now it won't budge. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!

It took me about ten to fifteen hours to figure these two things out on my own, since there isn’t a ton of info out there yet about undoing police modifications (whereas on a car like the CVPI so many have been purchased after decommissioning that info is relatively easy to find). I hope this...

My antenna was snapped off by an automatic car wash a few months ago and I now have the time to replace it. I purchased an screw extractor but can’t get it to thread into the broken bolt. I’m wondering if removing the antenna nut will give me better access to the broken bolt. But I can’t seem to...

This image is just like the broken column shift on my daughter's 2005 Explorer. I know I can get the alloy part that links to the shift lever aftermarket, but the brass piece on the back side with the hard plastic ball is also damaged. Ford doesn't even seem to have a name for this part. My...

Hey all, over the weekend my explorer decided it wanted to top out at 5mph, and since despite being 12 years old, it's definitely the nicest bed newest car I own, so I felt I should go to a shop instead of kicking it until it works like I've done with my other cars. It's got 115K on it, and full...

So, I'm having a problem, need some advice. When I bought the Explorer, the drivers door lock didn't work, it would if you tried unlocking it repeatedly by turning it back and forth, but mostly, it acted stripped. I got a new RKE remote about a month afterwards and it's been smooth...

The rear upper shock mounts snapped in half. A repair has been attempted but it snapped again. Currently it is being held together by two bolts with a piece of aluminum. After off roading the bar loosened and started sagging again and this is when I figured out the shocks were blown so i jacked...

I have an '04 Explorer with the 4.6L V8 with 130K miles. Due to the milage, I decided it is time for a tunes up so as I was changing spark plugs, one of them (Cylinder no. 8) broke off in the head. No, not the ceramic breaking off and leaving the body. The body of the spark plug. The ceramic...

Hello, had my 2002 ford explorer for years. now the door alarm sound goes off CONSTANTLY when I drive, and the doors automatically lock and unlock. Some please please help

Driving along today, I heard a loud pop. And when I say loud pop I mean, I thought someone fired a gun under the truck. I knew it came from the front passenger side and pulled over right away to find this.. The end link literally just got shredded at the top. Of course this had to happen...

Hello, i have a 98 Ford explorer SOHC V6 and the driver side tensioner broke, as i found the plastic pieces in my oil pan when replacing the gasket. I was wondering if there is a way for me to replace the guide without pulling the engine? Any instructions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,first off I did search, nothing that is similar to my situation. When turning sharply the engine acts like it is going to stall. I recently changed my power sterring pump (which continued to wine). after which I noticed my rpms were high about 1100-1000. I did the test for a high idle...

Hi everyone, I am still in the honeymoon stages with my 2003 4.0 Eddie Bauer, and am only just starting to notice the few issues here and there. However, giving it a clean today i noticed a completely severed wire in the housing that feeds to the window lift-gate and most likely the...

Greetings Looking for some direction here on my little 94 Explorer. We had some ice the other day so I figured I would give my 4x4 a test. I found 4w high doesn't engage. The light comes on but when I hit the gas only the back tires spin. If I go into N and push the magic 4low button. It...

I was changing the tire of my 2000 Mercury Mountaineer (AWD) and was pretty surpised to see that there was a rod/joint completely broken off its attachment point. Whenever I hit a bump or a pothole on the road, I hear a terrible sound--and this must be the reason for that. Located behind...

Well, I Talked To A Friend That Was A Mechanic About The 4x4 Not Working, He Told Me To Take The Switch Out And Touch The Wires Together To See If It Will Engauge. That Worked. Then I Touched The Wrong 2 Together It Sparked, And Now The Guages Went Out And Now I Get No Result From The 4x4. I...

I decided I would post this simply because this was an annoying issue for me that took lots of discussing to figure something very simple out. I'm a newbie when it comes to repairing cars, especially when it comes to anything electrical so forgive me if this sounds stupidly easy. If your hazard...

Morning folks, Had the 99 Explorer AWD in three weeks ago at a reputable shop... turns out that rebuilding the front diff and replacing the transfer case was just too big of a job to do at home in the winter cold. I also had to replace the front prop shaft with a refurb because the u-joint...

Hey, the handle to the rear hatch door on my 2003 Explorer Sport XLT is broken. I can pull the handle and it springs right back but I can also feel that its just not catching on anything.
