    Where is the HVAC resistor???

    thanks Koda2000, I took a look while swapping my AIC valve and it looks like the cruise control servo has to go. I'll attempt it another day. :thumbsup:

    Where is the HVAC resistor???

    Yup. Kept mine running for maybe a week by tapping the housing with a crowbar last winter... It worked but eventually it just wore out and would gradually fade to nothing. Replaced it. Even while it was dying out I was still able to select different fan speeds and narrow it down to not being the...

    Where is the HVAC resistor???

    Gotta do this myself haha let me know how easy it was... got the resistor, just need time to fiddle... haha. I heard it's bottom right of the blower motor anyway, there's also a resistor on the blower assembly in the console if yours is equipped with one me thinks.

    *trouble* smoldering steering column.

    thanks for the quick reply and the .pdf file, I Drive a '99 ford explorer xlt. I am going to assume what I would find in there would be similar. Is there any concern for potentially having the air bag accidentally deploy by removing the upper and lower column covers? or is it generally safe to...

    *trouble* smoldering steering column.

    The biggest thing to know is do I need to do anything before removing the column covers just to avoid an accidental air bag deployment :/

    *trouble* smoldering steering column.

    So before I even read the reply I thought to try tilting it all the way up incase a wire somehow got pinched. My last post explains that it still did the solid light no blinking noise thing only this time there was no smoke

I Noticed a faint trail of smoke coming out of the base area of my multi arm (signals etc.) As I resumed speed it eventually stopped after turning the right signal on...

    Clunking noise when stopping, rear axle play.

    Pulled the mass airflow sensor housing and blasted the crap out of it with brake cleaner and left it out in the sun for a couple hours to dry up before putting it back together. Took away my p0171&p0174 error codes and my idle has been better. Been three months with no problems :D

    Blower Motor Stays On!!??

    Theres a circuit the controls the blower motor speed under the dash on the passenger side in my model.. Is that chip board/resistor fried? Smell any burning plastic lately? Next thought is maybe the mode selector switch is broken and stuck on vent or something.. but I would think it would...

    dash light

    Might be automatic air ride control being turned off? Or relay died... I have never seen the symbol either.. if you have automatic ride control you should have a switch in the back jack storage compartment on the inside of the vehicle above the back left wheel well.. anyway I drive a 99 and that...

    (Audio) Loud metallic loose rattle/ticking noise (video)

    So I went out and bought a new belt idler pulley. I basically removed the Air intake hoses and plopped a 3/8 drive extended bar in the tensioner and applied enough pressure to loosen the belt enough that I could remove the idler pulley and install the new one all with one hand. It worked. The...

    (Audio) Loud metallic loose rattle/ticking noise (video)

    So 2000streetrod, I just felt around at the pulleys and came across the belt idler pulley and it seemed to have a bit of play to it. http://youtu.be/VigoMCUjJ7Ihttp://youtu.be/VigoMCUjJ7I I made another video, is this sort of movement acceptable. Because none of the other pulleys have any in...

    (Audio) Loud metallic loose rattle/ticking noise (video)

    https://youtu.be/9Mdd1pc0WRsQUOTE=2000StreetRod;3333036]I suggest that you remove the serpentine belt and run the engine briefly - about 1 minute max so it won't overheat. If the sound is still present then you know its not from the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, A/C compressor...

    (Audio) Loud metallic loose rattle/ticking noise (video)

    Hey everyone, I have a challenge for some of you... My explorer (1999 4.0L SOHC) recently started making a metallic rattling noise when driving/idling. I made a video in hopes that someone could recognize that noise, well I made a few in case the shorter version isn't clear enough. I hear it...

    Brakes & Shocks replaced and Rear end is now squeaking.
