    Rhr power window

    I pulled the trim off and I have voltage at the motor connector. The motor seems warm after a few tries so perhaps the window mechanism is jammed?

    Side mirror adjustment

    swshawaii the mirrors do have the same range of motor travel but the mirror mount on the passenger side of the vehicle LH or RH drive is slightly different bringing the mirror in closer to to the window. Have a look and compare the mounts and you will see the issue that you can't put a LHS...

    Side mirror adjustment

    I found the problem for those interested. I got a second hand mirror from a wrecker. When I took the old one off I noted inside it said "made in Taiwan" then I saw the issue. Whoever owned it before me put this aftermarket mirror on but it was for a LHS Drivers door not a LHS Passenger door...

    Side mirror adjustment

    Went today and looked at a 2005 in a car dealer and the LH mirror worked perfectly and I could bring it right into now what I have been incorrect alignment. Is it possible the wrong model mirror could be fitted?

    Rhr power window

    The RH rear power window in my 05 has been working intermittently. Today it is not working at all and neither the driver door module or its own door window switch works. Is there a central relay system or is it just through the switches? Any ideas.

    Side mirror adjustment

    Thanks for the advice - I think nearly everyone I know adjusts their mirrors incorrectly if this is the method. We were taught to use the side mirrors to reverse the car into tight spots so having pointing further in is necessary. I adjusted my wifes car this morning in this method and first...

    Side mirror adjustment

    Yes the mirror is locked into the open position on the mount. I have tried moving it in manually but still can't get it turned in close enough to see the side of the car when I look into the mirror. The mirror looks identical to the other side and seems to be mounted in correctly.

    Center console squeak

    When driver or passenger rests their arm on the center console the squeak drives me crazy. Obvious - don't rest on it but hard to tell the wife to stop. I pulled the top apart and put rubber under the screws and tightened any other screw I could find which might have made a difference but not...

    Side mirror adjustment

    I just upgraded to an 05 from my 98 and I am relatively happy with the new truck. A few squeaks and rattles that the forum has helped my fix and I had a real nasty LHS rear hub bearing that was hell to fix. Now I am down to the small things to fix and passengers side mirror (RHD) won't adjust...

    05 Explorer Clunking Noise and Feel From Front

    Very hard to describe but after driving for a few miles if I come to a stop and then take off slowly there is a clunking noise coming off the front end and it feels like I am driving over a couple of rocks. Once I get moving all runs fines. I thought it was the cross connect box but it feels...

    Shudder at take off forward or reverse

    Finally traded my 1998 Explorer after 10 years - I had a great run out of it but the salt water had taken its toll on all the bearings. Traded up to a 2005 4.0L and I have had a it a couple of days. Noticing now it shudders at take off if I take off slow in forward or reverse. Does anyone...

    Explorer Brake Problem

    I have a 1998 stock Explorer. I am having brake problems. When the motor is running the brake pedal will sink to the floor under pressure. Motor off the pedal is hard. I also can't do a "crash" stop - no way will the brakes even look like making the ABS engage. I have taken it to a local...

    Motor Cuts Out

    I have a 1998 Explorer V6 (auto). The last few outings towing my boat has seen it stall when travelling along the highway not very long into the trip.

    Side Mirror Control Switch

    Both my mirrors won't move inward so I assume it is the switch. Can anyone tell me how to get the switch off so I can check or replace it?
