    Help with Door Ajar sensor

    It appears the purple/light green wire goes to the Door Handle Switch. My electrical knowledge is only a small step above “it’s fast, it can kill” but it appears both wires (one to Door handle Switch and one to Door Ajar Switch) are grounded when either of those switches are closed, sending...

    Help with Door Ajar sensor

    Hmm. There is but a single wire, and a single connection, that I’m referring to. It plugs into the lock mechanism on the upper left corner with a Y/BLK wire. The PURPLE/Green wire that is bumbled with the other wire split off to a connection on the upper RIGHT corner of the lock mechanism. Is it...

    Help with Door Ajar sensor

    Whilst trying to figure out my recent "Help! I'm Driving Inside a Pinball Machine" problem (I'll probably be posting about that later--door locks clacking, bells ringing, and lights flashing, whether running or not, as long as the battery is connected), I found my driver's Door Ajar sensor wire...

    Front end rebuild--what parts should be replaced?

    Many thanks Bearings/rotors/pads on front, rotors/pads on rear replaced. Shocks not too long ago: don't remember brand/model, but the recommendation came from Explorer Google Group discussions. Given what remains from the list, any guesstimate from y'all on the hours to install/replace...

    Front end rebuild--what parts should be replaced?

    1995 Explorer XLT with 115K miles. 2WD automatic transmission. It's a highway-only truck. Front end has serious rattles and pops. In dealer's words: "upper & lower control arms and linkage worn out," and they wanted $1200 to do the job. I have a reputable non-dealer mechanic that will...
