    Exhaust!

    Been reading through these forums for quite some time looking any info for exhaust and so far ive got a lot of mixed messages, most pertaining to the 4.0. Now, I've got a 96 awd eb with the 5.0, it is currently dual straight piped, and dip down beneath the cabin, and frankly a bit too loud for...

    Android Double Din Head Unit with Dual Bluetooth

    I had installed an android head unit into my 2nd Gen and it is AWESOME! I have all my music stored on it, can play dvds, mp3s, work with bluetooth, subwoofers, back up camera, the list goes on. The only problem I have is in order to use Google maps (as it'd easier to use in comparison to other...

    AC inop

    FIXED IT. Thanks for help guys! The relay on the eatc was disconnected from the solder point. Soldered it back, running like a champ! Bobflood,you're a genius!

    AC inop

    Awesome. This is most likely the culprit. I should have 12v going through the low and high side, low if it's connected to the switch or bypassed. I'll start messing with it today. Hopefully get this right

    Bob flood, that eatc is the controller in the cabin, correct?

    Big z, I've got 608 universal. It covers everything. Sohk_alumni, what you're saying is that wot connection may be faulted somehow in either the pcm or the wiring itself could be disconnected or loose. I will check that out tonight after work. Right now I have it Jimmy rigged to work, 20 amp...

    That could be a cause. If anything it's located inside the controller. And yes,bypassed at the harness. I'm a certified ac technician but for homes, not cars. Thinking might replace controller from a few junkyard bitz. Grab about 5 of them if I have to.

    This is all electrical issue. Clutch engages when hooked straight to battery, I've bipassed both high and low pressure switch connections, replaced the relay (found new was bad) so swapped with one from fuel pump relay, all fuses are good and of correct capacity. Gauges won't tell me anything if...

    AC inop

    96 EB with automatic climate controls. I've replaced the blend door, AC compressor, all O rings, canister and freon. If I connect 12V to the compressor it'll engage the clutch but there's no power to the plug, it has recommended amount of freon according to the sticker. I've checked continuity...

    How to: Open hood without cable - Help! Hood won't open!

    I had the same issue with mine as well. Finally fixed... kinda. At the latch end you can adjust it for about another inch. Mine was fully adjusted out so I pulled the cable out and put 2 nuts on it. Be sure to mark the latch before removal. You'll spend a good part of the day lining everything up.

    New to Explorer

    Here is my new-to-me 1996 explorer Eddie Bauer traded with my 2000 contour SVT. This is the halo projection lights that were installed by previous owner. Still unsure how to adjust the levels as this is different than regular headlights. Busted door handle Torn seats bad...

    Jbl audio system

    I can see my 4 year old son doing that. So, change of plans. Hate ordering stuff online and the time and money to out into an aftermarket doesn't seem all worth it to me. So as I'm messing around, cd changer ate my cd, cassette player ate my cassette.good thing they were pieces I didn't really...

    Jbl audio system

    Reading through numerous posts and forums about aftermarket installs with the jbl, looks like a nightmare. I'm a bit intimidated. So looks likes I'm tackling it full force! I've heard stories about passengers changing the station. I thought it was similar to say the chevy tahoe had, it was a...

    Jbl audio system

    Got done scouring through the JY tO'Day and already did tons of work. I found a couple oem raids that were rds/jbl but in far worse condition physycally. So I guess I'll go the new sub and amp route with head unit I've got laying around. However, how do I maintain functionality of the back seat...

    Jbl audio system

    Mine does have the rds button. I mash it but the light above it doesn't light. I'll have pictures once I figure out how to post. I have no bass out of any speaker either. I've adjusted it but no sound difference. But if it's the head unit, hopefully I'll find one in the JY and hope for the best...

    Why did you buy your truck?

    Tried for months to sell my 2000 contour svt, which was a fun and awesome car, it wasn't my style. Since selling my van, I haven't been able to get my buggy out for some ride time. I finally got a hit for straight trade. He wanted something fast, I wanted a truck to camp in haul my buggy and...

    Jbl audio system

    To start, my radio (oem) works however the subwoofer doesn't. I've checked all fuses which are good, the speaker itself is good so assuming either bad wire in stereo to amp for sound or power to amp. Any ideas if this is a common issue? Is so I could have it fixed in no time. Another option...

    How to: Open hood without cable - Help! Hood won't open!

    I have the same situation, but my old man was messing with the mechanism as it needs adjusting in order to close properly, and he left the latch in the locked position. I didn't notice it so I closed the hood over it and it latched on the safety latch but now I'm unable to open the hood. Any...

    Hello from sin city

    Hello all from Las vegas. I have a 1996 Explorer Eddie Bauer edition, that is in need of some serious interior work. So I'll be flowing in some major questions in their appropriate sections here on the forums. Mostly interior and stereo system, body work and maybe other odds and ends. Thanks.
