steering wheel

My Explorer 2005 is 96K mi right now. I adjusted the steering wheel height a month ago, since then I noticed the steering wheel started showing some play, as in the video. I changed my tires just after that, did the alignment and replaced the front upper ball joints. So, I know that there is no...

I have a 2017 Base with paddles and right side volume/seek/mode buttons. I have installed a Platinum IPC and have everything up and running as it is able with my As Built options. I would like to be able to get the digital speedometer/compass working, but as of now I can't seem to change any...

First is a small (maybe 1/4") amount of in/out steering wheel play. As in, I can pull the steering wheel toward my chest and push it back toward the steering column. There is no play in any other direction, or when turning the wheel. Also, on occasion, the steering wheel would slip a little...

I recently totaled my 2013 Explorer XLT, no complaints. Purchased a 2018 with 28,000 miles, with equipment group 202A and the safe and smart package. Anyways, on occassion the cruise control will stop working while staying on and will not re-engage when prompted. Even turning it off then back...

I'm new to the forum and wanted to say Hello and also am curious about the problem I'm noticing on our 2017 Explorer XLT. When turning the steering wheel, I hear a ticking / clicking noise that sounds like maybe a clockspring issue in the steering column. I'm curious if anyone else has had a...

Hello explorers! I've got a 2015 Explorer Sport that seems to have an issue with the tilt/telescoping function. It's actually been an issue ever since I bought the car about 13 months ago. Whenever pressing the out or down adjustments, you can hear a click, but nothing happens. When pressing in...

I have a 2015 Explorer Sport. I would like to know are you able to put a 2016 steering wheel on a 2015? or you would have to make your own kit type thing?

Hey all, Thought I would start a thread to show what maintenance has been needed on my 2003 Explorer Sport Trac XLT 2WD, now that i have owned it over 3 years. This truck is now my primary daily driver now that my 2004 Explorer EB has been totaled by someone pulling out in front of me and my...

Okay... this is hard to explain, but here goes: This is most noticeable when I am parking in a spot... Say I am turning the steering wheel to the RIGHT to make a 90 degree turn and pull into a parking spot... at a certain point, the steering wheel gets tighter and sort of "turns itself" the...

Hi everyone! I am the proud new owner of a 2005 Explorer XLT, and with a new vehicle comes new challenges! Day 1: The tires are worn down quit a bit. Not the worst, but should probably be replaced. When driving, the steering wheel puts/pulls itself to about 1 o'clock (or a little bit before...

Team - Anyone have experience replacing the control buttons on an EB steering wheel? The rubber has gotten sticky on mine and most of the white text has rubbed off over time. I cannot seem to be able to find these parts anywhere online. Most of the parts I find are for the XLT that are mounted...

Hi all, currently the leather wrap on my wheel is broken and the wheel itself feels really bad in your hands (I'd try a cover but it seems to make the wheel too thick and hard to grip for me) I was wondering if there were any cheap options out there for a new wheel? I know carid has one for...

I have a popping noise when I turn my steering wheel left. I don't have to be moving for this noise to happen, in fact the video is shot when my truck is turned off so you can hear clearly without the sounds of the engine. Any help will be much appreciated. http://youtu.be/Z_dJ37EPJf8

Hi! I will soon be the proud owner of a '08 XLT with premium sound. I'll be installing an Eclipse CD5030 that is currently in my '00 Ford Contour. I want to be able to use the existing steering wheel (SW) audio controls on the '08 XLT with my Eclipse CD5030. From looking on here and google...

I have an 03 Limited with all the buttons on the steering wheel - cruise, audio control, climate control. The cruise and audio buttons have never had any problems, but the climate control buttons have been acting up for years. At first, the lower temp button would work only intermittently...

I really like my Explorer but was disappointed with no heated steering wheel when I bought my 2012 Limited and even more so when a couple of months later it showed up on the 2013. It's something that I really would like to add. Was wondering if I could swap out for a 2013 heated steering wheel...

My power steering on my 02 eddie bauer EX is hard to turn to the right sometimes. It is spotty, it will turn to the right smooth sometimes and have moments when the roughness is spotty. Turning to the left is fine. Check the power steering fluid, it was low, so i have filled it and the...

I just bought a 1998 Eddie Bauer Explorer. The guy I bought it from said the radio only works from the steering wheel and I thought he was crazy....he was right. What could cause a radio to work only from the steering wheel? Nothing lights up on the dash for the radio and I stuck a cd in and now...

I have 2003 XLT w/ 170,000 mi. Steering wheel is rumbling over 60mph. I can barely hold the wheel! Anyone have this issue? What could be wrong?

I would like to get a steering wheel from an eddie bauer or limited explorer to put in my 02 xls. I want to do this so I can use the radio buttons on the wheel, and the climate controls as well, if I can. Are the wires there to do this, and if not would it be difficult? Also, can I remove my...

Hello Everybody, Bought a 2004 Explorer XLT two weeks ago. It has just the Cruise Control controls on the steering wheel and my previous vehicle had spoiled me with the steering wheel radio controls. I have called two dealerships and gotten differing opinions. One guy told me that the...

Greetings All I am brand new to the forum and found it because I NEED HELP! we've been through a couple of Explorers and loved them- the most recent '98 FULLY LOADED XLT was totaled by our insurance after another driver thought that red was a better color for Santa Suits or pasta sauce then...
