    Bits and pieces of plastic.

    The broken plastic part does not look like the story I have to pass on but here it is anyway. We were the second owner of a 1993 and the emergency brake problem did show up with it. There was a recall on the problem. When you applied the parking brake the pedal would go all the way down and...

    At my wits end. Water pump just will not come out - 3rd attempt..

    Not my story but will add it to the list. A true shade tree mechanic that had the ways, means and knowledge welded a nut to the bolt not wanting to come out to get the job done. Good luck with your removal problem!

    Solved 1993 Ford Explorer XLT Temperature Gauge Dead

    Temperature Gauge Reading Low I assume the problem is the thermostat staying open but does anyone have resistance readings for the sensor. Engine cold with air temperature around 60 degrees I get a reading of around 400 ohms. What checking I have done lets me know with heat the resistance...

    Part # PCV valve to Intake (Hose)

    1993 Explorer pcv valve grommet Any input for a source of a pcv valve grommet? At Ford the price is in the $15.00 range. I did get one from the automotive parts Help rack years ago and it was not a good fit. I think that was Doorman 42049.

    Black Smoke 1993 Ford Explorer A later date but maybe my story will help the next guy. Problem: Vehcile running real rough, low power and lots of black exhaust smoke. At idle to keep it running you had to give it more gas. Having trouble codes checked at local auto supply showed no...

    Shudders when I accelerate.

    Shudder or vibration is a good way to state my situation. On my 2 wheel drive going from 35 mph to highway speed it was more noticeable. It made you think you were on a very rough road. By the advise of two transmission service centers I replaced the universal joints. The back one was bad...

    Seat Belt Receiver Removal

    On my 1993 I did it my way. I didn't remove the seat or the console. My way may take longer but less is tore apart. Work slow and patient. Unplug the seat belt switch. Position the seat and seat back to aid in getting the job done. Remove the number 50 torx head bolt that holds the back of...

    Audio Problems

    I'll have to think about what you are telling me. It could be I have more than one problem, but the fact is the system I have is all stock. I think it is getting worse with time. Could the problem be the amp and my test methods are not good enough for me to beleive that is the problem? When...

    Audio Problems

    With a 1993 Explorer with stock JBL sytem all speakers make a popping noise when using the multi function volume -/+ switches in any mode. As far as I can tell this system only has one speaker in each door. At low volume there is static and no audio. There is some distortion in the front...

    Wheel Bearing Question

    On the front drivers side of our 1993 Explorer 2 wheel drive a small amount wheel bearing grease comes out around the grease cap. This is just a small amount but does make it to the outside onto the wheel. Does anyone know the cause of this and the cure?
