electrical

Hello All, My 2002 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0L V6 is having the weirdest electrical issue. To preface, my mom bought this car in 2001 and she loved it. I recently bought it and promised to take to 200k. It has 199,981 miles. I want those last 19 miles so bad it hurts. Here's what's going on: This...

Been fighting with the bouncing voltage issue on my stock '94 Navajo. Replaced voltage regulator and brushes on existing alternator, then replaced whole alternator with a new one and initially thought resolved, but the issue returned. Looked for loose/bad connections and couldn't find anything...

I have a 2000 Ford explorer sport. It has been raining and I drove through a large puddle and shortly after while sitting at an intersection it quit running. It would not start back up, when I try to start it the engine will turn over it just wont start. I have had issues with the starter before...

My sister drove her car to work parked it and turned it off, hours later after work she got back into her car went to start it up, the lights worked, the radio works, the engine didn't turn over, replaced the starter and starter solenoid (both 1 piece) with new parts, still didn't turn over...

Hi all.. I'm a newbie, so I'm hope this is appropriate. I searched for a specific thread on this topic but didn't see one. I've not tried the general troubleshooting tip about inspecting the two big "bundles" of wires, but I will. In the meantime, in case anyone has suggestions: i've got a 97...

I have a 2000 ford explorer 2wd, when I got it, it had a number of electrical issues, but I'm stumped on this one. I replaced the connector that goes into the stock radio because it was damaged and no longer fit, I noticed that the people before me had already swapped them out. When I connected...

Hi, 2006 Explorer Limited 7 passengers 4x4 4.6L, Stock. A few nights ago, I forgot my sunroof open. And it rained. In the morning, the parking lights where lit. Now, the only way to turn them off is to take out the fuse in the underhood fusebox. Everything else works fine. What do you think...

I have an 02'EB V8. I have the radio with the 6 disc changer in the dash. 2 weeks ago the radio began cutting out, looking like it's losing power and then comes on and goes off again. Before I go ahead and replace it, Can I hard wire it to the fuse box to see if that changes it? I dont want to...

Ok, so here is a rundown on a starting issue that I have been experiencing. Hopefully I can get some help! 2011 Ford Explorer XLT with about 70k miles. New battery that is about 3 months old and has a full charge. This only occurs on random days. When getting into my car, all normal lights...

Hi. I recently purchased a 05 explorer xlt. The turn signals went out so i check fuses and all were good so i replaced the relay under the dash. Before i switched it i could manually make the turn signals work by blinking them myself with the turn signal lever, Afrer switching the relay i have...

I inherited this Explorer from my late father. The check engine light was on all the time, I asked him about it to which he said "it's nothing, runs fine, don't worry about it". He drove it for years that way. When I started driving it the check engine light made me crazy so I started looking...

This is a strange one that I hope someone can possibly shed some light on. My wifes 2002 XLT is doing some strange things that somehow must be related but I am not sure how. The issues we are having are as follows. 1 - When pressing the brake pedal we could hear the locks on the back hatch...

Was running great except a couple minor things we were fixing already. We went to leave the other night and not really getting up to speed so pulled over to see if a plug was loose or something tried starting and would turn over but that's it. Today scanned for codes and got codes: 122, 335...

2002 Explorer Happened suddenly. Pulled into my driveway, shut off vehicle before realizing I had to roll up windows. Turned key forward, and all electricity cut out. Keeping key inserted without turning, I have very limited electricity: car beeps with car door open, power outlet works, THEFT...

I've got a 2000 explorer xlt 4.0 sohc with almost 300k on it. Still running like a SOB. About a year ago (this is a secondary vechicle so I was in no hurry) the power windows, interior lights, cruise control, and the rear hatch electronics stopped working. At first they would intermittently...

I am new to ford and new to this site . I have been using this since I have gotten the X and found it very helpful on a few things. I bought from and individual and 2 days later the water pump went out.....hmmmmm. Anyway, I need to check some fuses but don't know if under the hood and side dash...

This is my first post on here and I've used the explorer forum countless times for all of my problems but I am at a stalemate. Out of the blue my 97 Explorer xlt 5.0 AWD odometer has stopped working with ~107000 miles. I thought that it was the worm gear, like many other people have delta with...

Truck is 2004 Explorer EB V8. For Christmas this year, my wife got me a nice mobile ham rig. (For those interested, it's an Icom ID-880h). I'm super excited about getting this thing installed, however, I can't figure out how to get power from the battery into the cab. I've read a few posts...

Greetings all, I was hoping that someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I have recently purchased a dash cam for my 2017 Explorer XLT and would like to hard wire it. I am not interested in using a fuse tap and would like to keep it simple and wire it in the pillar since it's...

My 1992 explorer XLT has SEVERE headlight problems, to wit: THEY START FLASHING AFTER ABOUT 5 OR 10 MINUTES OF NIGHTTIME DRIVING WITH THWE LIGHTS ON. (lol) Obviously, this is a problem as besides being illegal, IT AFFECTS OUR DRIVING And other peoples driving as well. I've been told their is a...

1994 Ford Explorer Sport 4x4 Opening the doors or twisting the headlight switch will not turn the dome or door lights on. The high mount brake light also doesn't work. The dome lights turn on with their switches. The dinger works when the headlights are on and the door is opened so the door...

Hey guys I'm new here and already apologize because I'm sure this has been answered, but when do I absolutely need to change my fuse box? I had a wreck last year which sent me into a creek and just got my Explorer back running after an engine swap. The under hood fuse box is fine, however the...

Here is my 1996 Explorer XLT I purchased for $1000 over 3 years ago with 90,000 miles, 6disc changer and a sunroof. I recently had issues with my windows not wanting to go down except when the door was open or cracked. Then the windows stopped working all together. I wasn't sure if it was the...

Hello, Last week out of the blue I noticed the interior lights on and DVD player started playing all by itself, (radio was set to DVD) after the car was parked for hours. So I pulled a fuse (forget which one) to get the systems off for the night. Next day I found fuse 2 of the SJB blown...

Hi all, I have a 1994 Explorer with 55,x.. miles. I bought it from the original owners who used it as a tow behind. The old man passed away about 6 months ago, and it didn't see a lot of road action prior to that. When the car is cold, like the first start of the day, it will keep wanting to die...
