I had mine rebuilt on my old 99 for $1,000 at a local shop which included all soft parts replaced. Drove fine for the 20,000 miles I put on it afterward.

You can also try a cleanup of the original motors. This from a different car (Lincoln) but it might work for you: The Mark VIII Forum - Viewing topic #11347 - Seat Motor Repair Tips (long)

How bad is "real bad"? Have all of the common components such as plugs, wires, fuel filter, o2 sensors etc. been replaced? Mine at 108,000 miles averages 20 in mixed driving.

Do a pressure test and it should become obvious in seconds. Mine did this a dew weeks ago, turns out my thermostat housing was split but I have the 6.

2002 with 106K, no rattle yet. Since it is being retired to sporadic hauling duty around town it may be a while.

I had the transmission rebuilt on my old 99 (soft rebuild) for $1,000 with a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty. My daughter has driven it for 20,000 miles without problems. If the vehicle is on otherwise good condition then it may be a good idea. If it has multiple issues, rust etc. no. Only you...

2002 Ford Explorer New Car Test Drive

I just checked, everything you are looking for is available on Ebay.

I paid $1600 for my '02 from the original owner with 98,000 miles and a thick stack of receipts of work done. I spent another $600 getting things done (both front hubs, right rear window regulator and motor, replaced stereo) and have put another 4,000 miles on it. It drives tight and smooth...

I paid $1600 for my '02 XLS that had 98K miles on it and then spent another $600 fixing various issues and it runs like a champ. Do you want a better optioned Explorer, or do you like the 5 spd which is rather rare? Personally with as cheap as these are, I would sell and find a better starting...

Sounds like you have at least one bad sensor. These lose their battery at the 8-10 year mark. Have them checked and replaced as needed.

If you turn off the auto locks feature the lock-unlock problem should go away while driving. It did on mine.

Interior lights could be a bad door switch as in the 02 I just bought.

I just dropped a grand on my $1400 Explorer to do a soft rebuild of the transmission, and when cold it still has problems going into reverse and will slip and rev like in neutral going forward for a few minutes. I am close to cutting my losses and moving on.

Tires look good, similar to what I want to put on mine. I just dropped $1000 on a soft transmission rebuild with new converter so they will have to wait a few months longer.

I managed to hit lock/unlock about 20 times in a row and it popped open. When I got it open I lubed the latch assemblies and had no more problems. For the window I took off the rear trim and lubed everything well, the rear window suddenly works. There are quite a few threads with varying...

If the goal is a few more years, why not go with an intermediate mile used engine and call it a day? A quick search of car-part.com shows many 75,000-85,000 engines for well under $1000. Saw a 56,000 mile one for $600 as a matter of fact...

Depending on mileage you could get a good used engine and replace the guides while it is out. There is a bunch of them on car-part.com, some with under 100K.

They (the door jamb switch) are pretty cheap on Ebay and readily available new.
