gottcha' I figured the tire size probably changed. Just a thought. Oh well.

Tire size I noticed that your tire size is P245/65R17. My stock tire size is P245/70R16. I don't know if they changed the size for your year but mine is a 2002 E.B. 4x4. See what you door states as the stock tire size. Might be worth a try.

Agree So far I am going to have to agree with you. I can now get the wiper to work if you initially put it on low, let it swing, then put it on intermittent. Agrivating.

Thank You Thanks for the information. This is exactly what I did tonight. I cleaned all of the sensors off with a damp towel. Before, it wasn't recognizing anything and chiming away at phantom items. After cleaning them, they are working normal now. This is actually going to be a pain in the...

Cold!!!!!!!!! I know it's cold up there. I went skiing in '96 somewhere around Medicine Hat and got caught in a blizzard on top of the mountain. Had to be rescued by ski patrol and transported to some hospital in Medicine Hat. If memory serves me correct I think it was about -40 below...

Want them to work when driving I have done this too, and it works. However, I would like it to work when I'm actually driving in the rain. (I'm not trying to be a smart@@@). ;) If I do this it will work for a little while, but when I stop and then restart the truck it will do the same thing.

alldata.com I actually got all of the TSB Summaries off of alldata.com. There list is much more complete.

I was wondering if anyone had the full text to the Technical Service Bullitin 04-7-1 referring to the Parking Assist System - False Activation? Thanks.

I have a 2002 explorer E.B. 4WD. When I turn on the rear window wiper it sometimes works and sometimes it looks like it is getting hung up. If you turn it to the intermittant setting it usually will not work, however, if you switch it to the regular setting and then back it will work. Anyone...

Thanks Thanks for the info. I noticed on the lot they are 245's also. I guess they didn't update the manual. :cool:

I agree I agree and that is what I am going to do, but I was just wondering why it is in print in the owner's manual but different on my truck. Even some web sites state that the E.B. comes standard with 255's??? :cool:

I have a quick question. I have a 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer and the tires that are on it are P245/70R16. Yet, I m seeing everywhere, even in the owner's manual, that the stock tire size is P255/70R16. Does anyone know what is going on? The sticker on the driver's door stated that the P245 tire...

Problrm Fixed CarMax fixed the problem. They had to send it out to a body shop to have the work done. They fixed the damage and applied some protectant inside the body panel to protect the galvanized steel. Here is the left side pic. The right side is the same. The moral of this story is...

CarMax I got it at CarMax on Broad St. where I-295 and I-64 are.

Update Just an update on the rust problem. The body shop found out that the drain tube got stopped up on both sides from the moonroof. They both rotted out and caused water to build up in the body. They are having to replace the entire door stop on the lower a-pillar. Here is a pic from the maual.

91-94 Dog Legs The first gen. explorers had a terrible skeleton in it's closet. The dog legs are where the back quarterpanel wheelwheel and backdoor is. Over time it was noticed that this area was rusting out horribly. If your truck was covered under their corrosion warranty then they replaced...

Me Too Yep...Me Too. :o

CarMax is Taking Care of It I went to my local Ford dealer and they stated that the rust would be covered under Ford's corrosion warranty, but the catch was the rust had to be all the way through! Can you beleive this! That's like Firestone saying we know our tires are defective but we're not...

In The Morning I'm going to the Ford Dealer in the morning to see if there is a corrosion warranty still in effect. The truck has 38,500 miles on it. I bought the vehicle from CarMax.com in Richmond. If Ford doesn't cover it CarMaxe's 30 day warranty states that it will be covered. I'm not...

Good to Know A door check. Thanks. I didn't know what in the heck they called it. The vehicle actually came from Richmond, VA. My ,91 Explorer has spent a many of days playing in the sand on the shores of the Outer Banks in North Carolina and I have never had any issues like this in that...

Door Hinge Yep. It's the door hinge-both front doors. When you open the doors and look down there is a black plastic thing that keeps the door from swinging too far. The pics are where the plastic things attach to the body.

:fire: Does anyone here have this rust problem with their 2002 or later explorer? I just bought this truck and I missed this. The dealer states they are going to fix it. We'll see. Is there any type of known knowledge where Ford will fix this like the Dog Legs of past? Thanks. :thumbsup:

Reply The problem was that there wasn't any problem at all. It was the inspector that thought the light was supposed to come on. I checked around and found out that the light never came on in the manner he wanted on the 91 to 94's.

HHHMMMMM Well, Well. I think I will go and take A look because I did install them about 6 months ago. Could be it. Thanks.

I have an interesting problem that I have not seen before. After about a week of driving my brake caliper pens are actually coming out of the calipers to the inside of the truck. I have to hammer them back in. More specifically it is the left side that is doing it. The right side is showing...

Nothing Needed There isn't any inbetween step involved. Just drain the old oil and put the new synth. in. As for the drain plug, I'm assuming your talking about the Fram Sure Drain plug. I have that on my truck. I was a little nervous about installing it because it sticks down quite a bit, but...

Holy Grail You must have a Holy Grail. Don't get it totaled. You will NEVER get that again. :eek:

I just thought that all owners of '91 to '94 explorer owners might fing it interesting that Ford has discontinued the production of these brake lines. Rightfully so, as you really never need to replace them unless..... you are installing extended radius arms and need to drill a hole for the drop...

Not your imagination It's not your imagination. I have a '91 XLT and my rear windows also take approx. 8 secs to roll up. When it gets near the top it will barely make it and the lights start to go dim until I let the button go. When I bought it in '97 they were fine. My friends 2001 is just...

Hello. I have a problem with my '91 X. No matter what position I put the climate control lever in, it always blows extremely HOT air out of the vents. Also, after driving for a while the entire dash behind the radio gets extremely hot. It gets so hot that my CD Player finally went bad. The CD's...

Understandable That is very understandable. The way I looked at it though is my first priority is to get the truck legal in the inspector's. I know that there isn't anything unsafe about the stupid light coming on for 2 seconds, so If all he wants to see is lights come... well then that's...

Worked!!! VairKing. I feel like a true idiot. I consider myself a great McGyver, but I truely let that one go over my head. I just jumped from the seat belt lite and the brake light now lights up and goes off. Now I will just unplug the RABS connection again and get my truck LEGAL...

GREAT IDEA!!! VairKing... Great Idea!!! I'm going out there right now and try this. I can't believe I didn't even think about trying that! I'll let you know what happens.!!!:cool:

RABS The system is the RABS system. It has a control module under the dash with all the pluming in on the left wheel well and the sensor on the top of the rear axle with the excitor ring inside the axle housing. As an update I found that the RABS connection to the module had actually come...

No Joy!! I disconnected the Master Cyliner connection and the ABS sensor on the rear axle and the brake light on the instrument panel still doesn't come on. Is there some cind of main control unit that might be bad? I located another instrument cluster at the locla junk yard for $50. Should I...

going to try fastcougar's suggestion Hey Fastcougar, I'm going to try your suggestion about the brake fluid sensor in the morning. It's raining here in Hampton right now. I'm also going to see if the light comes on when I disconnect the ABS wiring harness on the rear axle. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. Here is what I have found so far. I checked out the VA. state inspection codes and after reading all of the stuff that could be failure criteria... well, let's just say I think I am much better off fixing the light and going elsewhere in the future for inspections. My...

Thats what I thought too I have been thinking about this all night and I have to agree! There isn't anything machanically wrong with my truck. All brakes work including the parking brake. I am going to ask the inspector to show me this is writing. But, technically speaking... there is a problem...

Hello. I have a very bad problem that is eating at me. I have a 1991 Explorer XLT 4x4. I went to get my truck inspected this morning only to find a BIG RED REJECTION sticker on the windshield! I figured, "hey, no big problem I'll just replace the light bulb in the dash". Basically, the problem...

Why do some trucks like Toyotas and Rangers have their rear shocks mounted on opposite sides of the axle housing? I have noticed alot of Chevys are this way too. Does this help with axle wrap? Why don't Explorers have this? Thanks.
