Hey everyone,
Before you leave because it's a long post, please see if you can help me with ANY of these problems.
I didn't want to make 15 separate threads..
Alright, so, to begin, I own a 1997 Ford Explorer XL 4.0L OHV w/ Control Trac 4x4.
So, my questions are:
- My ABS light has been on for a long time, I scanned it and it's the front left sensor. The hub is still fine, is there a way to fix the sensor? I read there isn't because it's the auto locking 4x4 hub, but then found some people have managed to do it..
- My Ex didn't come with keyless entry. Is it possible to just add in a used RAP module in the back if I pull it off another Ex? I'd love to have the keyless entry/alarm feature..
- It also didn't come with the factory sub, but if I pull one from another Ex, would it be easy to install? (Factory sub box, aftermarket sub)
- The door in the Ex is pushed in, but I have another thread about that..
- There's a clanking noise coming from under the trunk. A metal on metal sound. It usually happens when driving on bumpy roads and you can only hear it if the windows open. It sounds as if it's coming from the rear/under the trunk. Any ideas what this might be?
- Driver's window goes down very slowly, I think it just needs grease, but it could be something else?
- It's starting to rust around the gas filler area, right above the door and above the rear wheel wells. What's the best way to stop/fix this without too much physical damage to the paint..
That's all I can think of for now. If I get anything else, I'll be sure to add it.
Thank you all.
