    2011 Explorer XLT APIM issues

    Hi Everyone, After having a problem with the sunroof where a large amount of water fell through the center of the console, the radio began to work erratically. The USB port did not work properly and the bluetooth pairing did not work either. All this was corrected after removing all the...

    Compass not working?

    A couple of months ago, I noticed that the compass on my display is not working. It ALWAYS reads East, not matter what direction I'm traveling. On my older explorers there was an option to calibrate the compass, but I can't seem to find that setting anywhere. I don't really need the compass...

    02 Explorer XLS 4.0 4WD - A few questions and issues

    I recently purchased a used 02 explorer XLS as my son's first car. It seems to drive ok, but things just don't seem quite right.

My problem is...

    Temperature/ compass display

    I recently purchased a 2004 Ford Explorer XLS with very low miles and everything is in near perfect condition. My only trouble is that the outside temperature and direction aren't showing in the control panel. I guess I'm not even positive that it is supposed to show up, but when I put the car...

    Hi! New member from Minneapolis

    Overhead console digital temperature readout stuck!

    Our 2001 explorer sport has the overhead console with the compass and temperature readout. Compass works fine but the temperature readout is stuck at -40 F. Is there a sensor to change for this or can it be recalibrated? Thanks!
