    Brake light issues..brake control module?

    Hi all, I have another little issue which could be becoming a little larger if not looked at. Firstly, my parking brake light on the instrument panel has never worked since I purchased the 98 explorer sport sohc last year. I thought it must have been the bulb so didn't give it much thought...

    Does this look right? Urgent.

    Hi all, So I just replaced my alternator this morning. The serpentine belt was really tough to get off even with me cranking down on the pulling all the way. So to get it off I though it might help to slacked the pully itself a little which actually seemed to help and it came off after a...

    Replacement alternator?

    Hi everyone, I have a bit of an amateur question, but feel I'd rather ask it then spend money on the wrong parts and feels like a complete idiot. Here goes. My explorer wouldn't start this morning. Couldn't even open the doors with the remote locking, when I got in, the battery was dead...

    Suspension/ ball joint??

The noise only comes when the vehicle is rocking a little. Hitting the odd bump in the road or low speed cornering. Is there any way to tell...

    A/C noises - recharge or replacement?

    Hi, My First post. Hope this works. I've been reading this forum for a while now and figured it's better to get involved! A month or so back my 1998 Sport started making a low groaning noise when the A/C got switched on. It gets louder when I turn the A/C onto the Max setting. I don't do...
