    Thank you for taking the time to find that. I will look on the drivers door window to see where to place it unless you have an idea?

    Is there a valid re-wire to fix this decayed copper ribbon filament that goes to the front dome light bulbs? All I did was remove the bulb and the paper ripped in half. I have tried to find a part number with no luck. 1996 Explorer XLT 4wd with sunroof Thank you so much Andrea

    1996-Replaced cluster bulbs and one will not work NOW

    Thank so much for your time and help. It is now working.... So, I embarked on this by myself. My husband decided to get involved and with that, we both missed changing out one of the old bulbs to the l.e.d. (one way at the top of the cluster), which was not noticeable until I had the cluster...

    1996-Replaced cluster bulbs and one will not work NOW

    Hello I had 2 dash bulbs out. So I went and replaced all of them with l.e.d.'s. Now, the two that were out are fine and a different location is out that received a new bulb. I switched the connectors around to see if I had a bad connector or bulb and that is not the case. Could the plastic...

    96 Explorer freakin back hatch handle

    The funny thing, not so funny now, is that I was just replacing it because my husband was always turning it the wrong way and then complaining, so instead of just writing on it, I thought I would be able to change it out.

    96 Explorer freakin back hatch handle

    On the piece that breaks, there is a hole inside of the round part. Am I supposed to be putting a rod in there?

    96 Explorer freakin back hatch handle

    Uggghhh...I am about to install my 4th handle (in 2 months time). Obviously I am doing something wrong. I have checked forums, you tube, my books, I just can not figure out what I am doing wrong.

    Tailgate handle broken.

    So I replaced the handle last Christmas, it broke in less than 6 months. The original one last 20+ years. The OE part number had changed. My question is, since the original lasted so long, would I be better off trying to find that part number and NOT the replacement number?

    A/C Works only on MAX-Air

    Well, my husband changed out the Evaporative Core, now I only get cold air on MaxAc setting, everything else blows hot air. Even if I change the dial from cold air to hot or change to Ac or Heater side of dial, the same amount of hot air blows out. Any ideas of what could be causing this. I...
