solenoid

Hi, this is my first time posting to a car forum, sorry if I sound ignorant about cars or anything. I recently started having issues with my ford explorer, it is a 4.0L V6 4WD 1996 Ford Explorer. It started when I took my car home for the holidays, the transmission was slipping a little bit...

I have a 5R55E transmission that has been slipping out of first gear, almost into neutral it seems, and I have to remove my foot from the gas, and let it clunk back into gear, then it's fine. It only will do this when the transmission fluid is warm, only once, then drive with no symptoms. Or if...

I have an 08 Ford Explorer and on a trip back from Las Vegas after about 4 hrs going back home the check engine light came after having the light check it came up as PO775 pressure control solenoid B took it to transmission shop to have fluid changed but there stated need a new transmission...

I had someone take out one of my selenoid bushings without measuring the depth. Any idea what kind of problems that could cause?

Hello guys, I need to replace the solenoid pack for my 2005 with 5R55S transmission. The part number I removed from the car is the 4L2P-7G391-AA, i ordered on ebay a replacement and i got the 1L2P 7G391 AF. Do you know what is the difference between these solenoid packs??? Can i install the...

Usually I snap a quick photo on a job like this, so it's a no-brainer to put it back together, but didn't have my phone handy... So, I pulled this solenoid off my '97 Explorer to bench test it 'cause I'm troubleshooting starting issues. It worked fine on the bench: good solid click on/off, with...

trying to troubleshoot some starting issues, car has newer battery and the terminal ends seem to be in fine shape, but cannot find a fender mounted solenoid... I know ford started phasing them out at this point but see posts saying it should be along the driver side fender after the battery but...

Hey guys. So I have a 2WD, 2005 Sport Trac. The truck has been having numerous transmission issues, and I was told by a Ford Mechanic that it is likely due to one or more issues with the valve body, or solenoids. So, I decided to just replace them both to make sure the issue is solved. I...

Hey guys and gals, I have a 2002 Explorer Sport Trac, with code P1451. It is an emissions thing and a little research says it is either a faulty circuit to the Canister Vent Solenoid (CVS) or a bad CVS. My Questions is: Where is this damn thing located, and how can I fix it to get rid of the...

This truck is driving me out of my mind. Ive got a new alternator new battery, fusible links are good fuses are good, replaced terminals, im getting no charge and my battery light is on. Ive tested EVERYTHING. When i put the new battery in it was running at 14 or so volts, checked at alt yellow...

My vehicle is in the shop as I write this. The shop has been in business for decades, so I believe they know their craft. They replaced the solenoid pack and took my vehicle for a test drive, discovered a leak, but no other issues. After fixing the leak, they took another test drive, where the...

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport. I've had some past issues with loose battery terminals but none recently following a good tightening. This morning, the engine wouldn't turn over. The electronics were all functional, but there was no clicking sound. I would turn the key...and nothing. The...

Been here awhile, sold my Explorer a few years ago, now I have this Mountaineer. Runs great, leather interior, 4.0 AWD 158,000 miles Now about the transmission.... Looked at the Servo upgrade with the O-Rings, but my shifting seems real normal and the OD light is not doing anything...

I have a 98 explorer sport, and while driving, my car doesn't seem to go above 3rd gear. Driving on the street is fine, i can still accellerate fine to well above the speed limit, but when Im on the freeway, the higher gears don't engage, and the revs will just keep going higher as I accelerate...

To start off thanks to all that reply your the hart of all that keeps sites like this going. 2002 explorer with 5R55W transmission. Started out a bad leak,thought it was a torque converter seal,till I was pulling transmission and saw the overdrive servo cover and snap ring hanging out. Well...

Hey guys, new to this so I'll get right to it. 2004 ford explorer 4×4 v6. Last night I was driving home and after stopping at a stop sign I hit the gas and my explorer jerked hard and then started on foward. and for the rest of the ride home it had a constant forward jerking feeling about every...

I have two Aerostars. One is a 1997 AWD to which this post does not apply. I also have a 1992 2WD for which this post was written. I searched and searched and could not find anything that matches these symptoms. It may be something as simple as a blown fuse, or shorted wiring or both. I am...

I have been working on my 96 Explorer 4x4 for over a year now trying to get the damn thing run and shift properly. I have had tranny rebuilt...twice...and have had wire harness replaced twice....solenoids B and C replaced FIVE times! All electrical issues seem OK....and a transmission guy said...

Hi, I have a 2005 Explorer with the 4.0 and 5R55S trans. Ever since I've owned it, it has always had a delay trying to shift into reverse, and when it would finally engage it would slam into reverse and rock the entire car. Then when driving normally, -and this happens sporadically- when...

I was away for a couple of months and I had my 2002 Explorer 4.0L parked in the driveway at home. When I returned home at the beginning of December, it wouldn't start and my 10 month old battery was dead and frozen. The auto store replaced the battery and I plunked the new battery in the SUV and...

Hey everyone, I got a code P1443 a week ago, so I got a new canister purge solenoid (google BWD CP509 to see the part I got). After searching this forum, I was finally able to locate the existing valve below the air filter housing. I replaced the valve, but the vacuum tubes connecting to it...

Hello everyone. I am having transmission problems with an 02 explorer 5r55w that had a bad solenoid A that cause shifting problems; intermittent O/D flashing; and unable to turn O/D on and off. We had purchased a used solenoid pack that seemed to test out fine through ohm resistant setting...

I have an 06 Explorer. Suddenly have no reverse. No warning signs, leaks, lights, codes, etc. All other gears work including 4 hi & Low. When I put it in reverse, the car doesnt move. If I give it gas, the engine hesitates for a brief moment, then the rpms increase (as if I was in...

Started earlier this week: Vehicle is a '99 Ford Explorer XLT 2WD, 4.0L SOHC. 230,000 miles. Pulled the code. It is P-1740. No leaks, but the transmission fluid hasn't been changed since I've had the car (at 160,000). I have the stuff to change the fluid/filter/etc. However, along...

Battery recently tested by AAA and said charge was good and when turning over the battery is putting out sufficient amps. However, what is happening is intermittent. Sometimes when I turn the key over the starter seems like the truck just came off the assembly line. Other times when I turn the...
