dead battery

I have a 2004 Explorer XLT. Began having intermittent problem of not going out of park. And, the tail lights stayed on when car was parked and no key in ignition. Without knowing it until it was too late, the tail lights drained the battery. I changed the brake light switch. Then, after charging...

I was out of town for a month and parked the Explorer outside. Came home today and the remote door openers and keyless entry don't work. The ignition key fits the door lock on the driver's side, but doesn't turn and I don't want to force it. How can I open the hood to charge/replace the...

I have a 2017 Explorer and just had the dealer put a new battery in. After opening and closing and leaving some doors open over the weekend while camping and also having the aux on to charge my phone (something I do all the time) my battery was dead, and I mean really dead, had to charge it for...

Hey guys, been a while! I come to you all with a problem. Aside from my two lovely explorers, I also own a '94 Ranger XLT 2x4 that I use as a daily driver. It has remained stock and in excellent condition, except for an odd quark that has developed into a problem. The Story: In...

Just wanted to post this up in case it can help someone. My 98 v8 was cranking slow, battery not charging, and the charge gauge was fluctuating.

Hi I have a question about anti theft on explorers. I have a 1997 sport trac 2door. The car was down for a while because the right rear quarter panel window was broken.

Hey Guys, new here. Never been a member of an automotive forum, and not an expert by any stretch of my imagination. But, I'm hoping you guys can help. The battery on my 2001 Explorer Sport keeps dying. There are no interior lights or headlights left on, so I can't figure out what the...

:confused:OK, this is a "code" that the Ford techs at my local say is not Ford. One afternoon I was doing errands and my truck was running as usual. (99 Exploder XLT 4dr SOHC 4.0) I stopped the engine to go inside to pick up my son, and when we went out to leave, it acted like a dead batt...
