The washer buttons on the stalk, don't cause fluid to arrive at either front or rear glass. No sound of a pump running is heard, when pressing the buttons. Also, a fluid leaks from the reservoir, taking approximately a week to empty it. (I just took delivery of the car at the end of July.)

Hi, I am having an issue with the windshield washers front and rear, on my, new to me, 2016 Explorer. I could be wrong, but I understand from reading, here and elsewhere, that there is just one pump which serves both front and rear washer nozzles. I am finding this functionality rather hard...

Hooray, I'm an Explorer owner again!! Just inked a deal on a 2016 last evening. Lookout world!! Brian H. Uxbridge Ont.

WOW! Thanks! Brian H

:can: Rust and age have caused my filler neck to leak just above the rear tire where the filler neck meets a rubber hose. It drips away while I am filling the tank. About 100 cc's or less are lost / tankful. Is this commonn and what parts / tools do I need to have on hand to fix this...

Still going strong Just thought I'd update this. The truck is still going strong now at 240,000 kms or so. Brian H.

update Hi, FWIW this is how this turned out. At long last, I had this job done by Kevin Mugford's Durham Transmissions, a one man band transmission shop in north Oshawa Ontario: The price was right, much cheaper than any other quotes. So far so good. I liked him, he was very...

Tools & prep? What exotic tools does one require? What special preps ? Might I find a rebuilt one somewhere that I could get a deposit back when I return my defective one? Thanks guys! Brian H.

thanks gavin! Thanks for the excellent info gavin! Looks like more than I am equipped to tackle from a time commitment standpoint. In my ideal world, I'd do this job myself but in reality land I think I need to get it done out ASAP. Anyone got any suggestions on good shops for this work...

Hi, We have a '98 5L V8 Explorer that we quite like. It came to us history unknown at about 150,000 kM's, the body is in good shape and it looks presentable. Currently it has about 204,000 kM's on it. It has the full time on demand 4wd, although it has always been on pavement since we have...

my 98 clunks too My 98 clunks too. I am told by my independent mechanic, that it is a chain & sprocket in the transfer case. Apparently the chain skips a notch on the sprocket when it clunks. He didn't suggest changing the fluid but I might try having him do that before agreeing to the...

problem solved, for now Well the next day was warmer and I parked the car in my unheated garage over night. To my delight and surprise, the window went up as normal when I pressed the button. Its up and staying up till spring now. Thanks all for the great, and creative, suggestions. I know...

Hi, My dad's 93 has a new problem. The left rear power window has stopped working IN THE DOWN POSITION and the temp is -10 C today! Before I tear into the door etc, is there anything I should know that commonly causes this ? It happened suddenly with no indications before hand so I think...

Xcaret, you must have mis understood. The parts issue was that the FORD parts from FORD are only available individually costing lots of $. The wrecker option was proposed so that we could get it as an assembly for cheap. To others who asked about odd noises and things, remember, that I was...

root cause theory turns out the folks that sold me the car put or left the wrong size tire on the spare wheel. With the fulltime or on demand 4 wheel, I think that is the root cause of all my problems. :mad: Live and learn. Guess I'll have to go check all the fuses in the fuse panel to...

and the dealer says..... Turns out its not engine oil at all, its front diff / axle oil leaking out and burning up on the exhaust. Dealer says front axle / diff is shot and needs replacement. Heres one for the books though, they suggest I go for a reclaimed one from wreckers and do a...

My son was driving home in our 5.0L '98 xlt last evening (150,x.. kM) when he had a flat drivers side rear tire. Pain in the a$$ but OK things happen. Turns out a nail was in the tire. Changed the tire, his first I think, and on the road again 20 miles or so and smell of burning rubber, smoke...

:can: Hi, Just got our '98 XLT, with only one key, and then found out about the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft / SecuriLock System ) key thing. Don't really want to pay the dealer 120 bux plus to do up 2 additional keys, so I have been reading on the Inet about PATS. Found this at...
