    Transmission Fluid change?

    Moonpie what did you decide to do? See, i'm kinda in the same spot, 95-XLT 122k miles, and for the life of me, can't remember if the tranny fluid ever got changed. it's doing fine, no problems, called local firestone, they say they won't work on any car over 65k because of the possibility...

    ATTN 95X owners PL/F/L I DID IT!!!

    rydinhigh let me get this straight.. you can turn your fog lights on and off while you have the parking lights on.. using the button inside the car (factory fog switch)? Just like what you can do when you have low beams on? What happens when the high beams come on? reason being, i spent...

    Fog Lights w/ Parking Driving me Nuts HELP!

    well, for safety inspection, your low beams, high beams and fog lights have to be independent of each other. as i understand it, the newer explorers, 99+ can have the parking lights and fog lights on at the same time. BUT, they are able to turn off the fog lights while the parking lights are...

    Fog Lights w/ Parking Driving me Nuts HELP!

    i actually did get the parking lights and fog lights to turn on together. but just to let you know, you'll fail a safety inspection if you do leave them like that. it's too much trouble to go rewiring and soldering the whole time, so i turned it back to stock. i wanted the fog lights to...

    sensatracs tomorrow

    well, the other day i put two sensatracks on the front of a 95. it's much stiffer than the stock.. they haven't been replaced for 90k miles. it's much stiffer, doesn't sway as much when turning and is generally smoother. but that's comparing them to stock. i haven't gotten a chance to...

    Gray Floor Mats with"Explorer" on them?

    i put 2000 or 2001 rubber grey EXPLORER mats in my 95 4-dr. I bought it with all 4 pads and they fit fine, might be a slight bigger but it's not a problem. looks really nice too, the carpet ones look sweet as well.

    I broke something!! HELP w/ lights

    bill kemp, yeah i checked the fuse and it's looks good, don't think it's blown. however, the wiring is back to normal (soldering after messing around with it) but the fog light switch doesn't light up anymore or the fog lights. but the relay clicks... does that mean the relay is good or...

    I broke something!! HELP w/ lights

    98FordX24, Ok, you got me confused. I tried several different things when rewiring. When testing i used all the wires BEFORE they went into the relay. I tried tying these off to each other (i.e. 12V, headlight, fog swtich...etc) with no luck. After it got dark and cold out, I soldered...

    I broke something!! HELP w/ lights

    Ok, I was trying to rewire the lights in my 1995 XLT today and something happened. I found the power distribution box under the hood and went about cutting and rewiring the wires so i can turn the fog lights on whenever i want. I must have ground something wrong or passed a wrong wire to...

    Fog Lights w/ Parking Driving me Nuts HELP!

    Ok, here's my problem. I got a copy of the schematics of the wiring diagram for the exterior lighting of the Explorer. I want to wire my lights so when the parking lights are on, my fogs can be on as well. So, after finding the power management box (under the air box) i see three relays...

    Installing 2 single DIN head units instead of factory mach?

    brianboru, i know this isn't exactlly what you're looking for, but just to give you an idea of how you can squeeze more into the space, i did a DVD player and single din unit. I also made the custom mounting kit a smoke-black piece to match the interior. this picture is a little dated...

    95 explorer PA

    I'm also a student at PSU (going on 5yrs). I'm running a street X and don't really do much trails (unless there is a ton of snow, then thats fun stuff). But there are plenty of places to go around there. If they have paintball fields and deer pens, there will be trails inbetween them. My...

    upgrading speakers...

    Quakecom, 1. You don't need an aftermarket amp or HU to power new speakers. You CAN'T however, bypass the factory amp from the factory HU to power the aftermarket speakers. Something dealing with how Ford set up the original stereo. 2. Impedances I wouldn't worry much about. That comes...
