    Driver side power seat will not move.

    Recently I noticed when I went to move the driver side seat forward it would only go about a 1/4 inch and the motors winds down and stops. I looked under the seat to see if anything is under it or something had fallen in to the track but I can't seem to find anything. The seat will go up and...

    Opinions on another Explorer.

    Well I went to check the Explorer out yesterday and the dealer said that it was in the shop for "routine service." I called today to see if it was done so I could take a look at it. He told me that it was up on the lift today getting worked on. I asked why it was on the lift and he called me...

    Rusted Fuel Lines

    I noticed that my fuel lines running along the frame are rusted badly near the gas tank area on the frame itself.

    How can I make the rear map lights come on with the dome light?

    Just as the title says. This would be on a 2000 4 door Explorer. If I us a jumper from the green/orange wire to the black/blue wire would that make the map lights come on with the dome? And is the light grounded through the mounting bracket? I assume that it is. Here is a pic of the...

    Thinking about getting a newer dvd headunit.

    I was looking at the double din units but that means I have to relocate my EQ and there is just not to many options to mount the EQ in the Explorer. If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears.

    Signal Mirror kit for ranger fit X?

    The glass was easy to replace. Just pop the old ones out and pop the new ones in. I didn't use any of the instructions. I just tapped into the turn signal wires in the tail lights. With me being color blind it was impossible to find the correct wires. Running wires from the mirrors to the...
