- 2003 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.6
I just changed tons of stuff on 03 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.6 including both Upper Control arms, both front struts, both front sway bar links, new rotors and pads front and back. Once changing the rear rotors I found the rear emergency shoes and pad material separated so changed those too. I had an issue removing drivers upper control arm ball joint bolt which fused to knuckle so ended up with new left knuckle and also bought new hub for front left. The Explorer drives incredibly well now and wife is really happy with improved handling and braking. But during test drive the ABS light came on. Funny thing is that when you start car and go in reverse to back out of drive the ABS light doesn't come on. But when you put in drive and go forward the ABS will come on and stay on. I've read where others take the old ABS sensor wire and put on new hub. The hub replaced was original from Ford and new part was an inexpensive one from China it says. Haven't tried to swap wire but could since I still have it. Is this a possible fix?
