    Explorer Cranks But Wont Start

    I'm not sure if you hit the nail on the head with this one but have found a big issue. Once I replaced the battery connector and saw the deformed battery case under the + pole, I brought it to NTB who installed the battery in 2017. They replaced the battery for free, however, stated they had...

    Explorer Cranks But Wont Start

    I ordered the complete battery connector off (Thanks Peter!) The price has definitely come down from when I first looked. Took apart all to clean and install new connector and found the deformed + post on the 1-year-old battery. This had happened before with the original battery. The...

    Explorer Cranks But Wont Start

    Disconnected the battery and the + copper terminal is badly corroded/disintegrating. Only one copper ring connecting to the battery. I will need to replace the terminal which I see from Ford is $350 for the copper one. Aftermarket one is cheap but it is a silver metal. Does this matter?

    Explorer Cranks But Wont Start

    Peter, It will crank and crank and the tow truck driver did connect his portable charge to the battery (even though I told him the battery was not dead).

    No codes... Service Advisor said if they had some code they'd be able to trace the issue.

    Explorer Cranks But Wont Start

    New battery... although the + battery terminal keeps corroding up very fast. I had cleaned a few weeks ago and then when this happened, it was crazy corroded again. Cleaned good but it didn't help with cranking. Might be worth taking the terminal off and doing a very good cleaning. Thanks...

    Explorer Cranks But Wont Start

    Went and picked it up from the dealer. They have no clue. Pretty much said they've done all they can unless they hear back from Ford..." I'll email you." I'm not holding my breath. Service advisor did ask if it was happening when it is on full tank... maybe some valve is air locked or...

    Explorer Cranks But Wont Start

    I've been having this issue for quite some time. Thursday was 4th time for 2015 Limited it to be towed back into the dealer. The 1st or 2nd time, they replaced everything in the fuel system trying to figure out the issue. 3rd time, they get off tow truck, it starts right up. They have it for...

    Airbag Warning light and Passenger seat?

    My airbag light started staying on recently. Initially, there would be a "phantom" dinging... very soft, like when the seatbelt is not buckled. Then the airbag light started staying on constantly.

    Shane, I did remove spark plugs when I got water in my engine recently... It was easy with the spark plug tool and ratchet extension. Manifold does have to be removed... easy. I'm going to do my transmission soon as I have 30K on Explorer. There are videos on youtube... another easy one to...

    Purchasing used: Should I worry about the internal water pump?

    Reems... I just looked to see Ford warranty. There is some left for yours on the powertrain. Not sure if water pump causing an engine failure would be covered... Something to look into. 3 yr/36,000 mi basic, 5 yr/60,000 mi powertrain
