    Brand new newbie looking for advice on '02 auto transmission issues.

    what is the sleeved servo bores? my truck can sometimes be "retarded" at picking gears (one out of 100 shifts?) Ive always thought it might be a solenoid pack thing or something simple, it only hangs between 2-3 for about 3 seconds if that. not super noticeable unless you are hitting 509 trying...

    Front end humming?

    the only difference is if its the hub bearing, you don't have to trashcan the truck like you do with the timing chains :P cant think of anything worse than that chain....ugh. well maybe my old stratus with the stupid "internal waterpump" design....that was pretty fail also.

    Alarm goes off constantly

    Mine does this if I leave a window or door open when I lock (it'll constantly beep like 3 times) I think it may be an after market thing though on mine because I've never seen another truck do it.

    Blower motor fan doesn't work

    if you have auto control you have a blower motor speed controller, this lil son of a #$#$# sits under the dash behind the glove box and can blow up causing everything but the blower motor to work. It looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/1dz7q16tuyqyfge/AAADVzjS97Gd69s2lXnsXpIIa BTW, Im...

    04 Pulls at Stop Light Please Help

    I had a person come into my work with her car doing this, she could hold the brakes down hard and no matter what the car would jump forward, even move. I told her to hit the mechanic right away, she came back a week later and said it was a solenoid in the transmission not working correctly...

    No blower motor action at all.

    Anyone have an extra (working) one of these for sale? I need it pretty cheap as I cant afford the 80+ bucks everyone wants for them online. If you have a spare you want to get rid of, holler at me. (Edit: Pic of what I need https://www.dropbox.com/sc/1dz7q16tuyqyfge/AAADVzjS97Gd69s2lXnsXpIIa)

    Disappointing towing performance

    yeah, fords 4.6 is a sohc motor and isnt exactly a power house, especially vs a dodge/jeep 4.7+ motor. my 04 GC culd pull a car trailer loaded with a big @#@ car at 75mph and not even bat an eye. Suggest 5.0 swap!

    Transmission Clunking

    OR, since the truck uses the ABS to control the 4x4, the feeling you're having is an ABS error causing it to go into low gear, check both of those bearings and make sure none of the wires are crimped and the sensors are clean.

    2002 EB Explorer No Power

    Theft Light is a pats/skif thing (I don't know what ford calls it) I had a similar deal with my jeep where the skif wire in the ignition got a lil mucked up and it would just sit there and derp instead of start, i fixed it by putting the key in the door and locking and unlocking it twice...

    blower motor?

    Make sure that when your resistor blew it didnt take the fuse with it (I don't know which one) I know that when it blows on 4 only its bypassing the switch. I've been looking for answers regarding my digital temp control for a while. Make sure your new resistor is good also. Im assuming you have...

    Emissions testing facility can't read OBD code 03 Explorer

    Must be their reader, just out of curiosity, did you pull up to the same bay both times? Maybe ask them to plug it into a different bay, OR get a code readout from the repair fac. and have them pass it. Here in WA I didn't even have to get my junk hooked to obd, I just rolled up, she looked at...

    04 explorer rear heater fan controls not working

    electronic heater controls? rear blower motor speed controller coming off EATC is probably popped or the blower motor is bad. (or both, the motor going out can indeed take out the speed controller, just learned this on my front set up!) Edit: you can see what I'm talking about by youtubing "Ford...

    2002 Explorer Blower Motor Questions?

    Thank you, everything I find on this thing is cryptic, I'm taking a shot in the dark. My read is that when this goes out the fan gets stuck on high, but mine does nothing at all.I know the old fan is bad, but I have no idea why once replaced I get no power to the unit, so I'm wondering if I need...
