A '97 to '98 4.0L SOHC has the fuel return line and uses a Fuel Pressure Regulator part # 97JF-9C968-AB The topic I linked previously shows why the OHV version won't work due to a different fuel rail with mounting differences - You "might" be able to get the OHV regulator to work if you made an...

The problem with people changing things from stock parts is you are left guessing what they had to do to make it work. Similarly who knows what wiring is there now... If they didn't mess with the wires then yes you can probe for 12V on the brown wire at the TOD - with the dash switch in 4High...

I don't know how I missed this before but B1867 comes up as an airbag code not a drivetrain code. I would want to talk to the guy who wrote down the code and made the connection to the transfer case, to hear his argument for what is going on if that's the right code. Then again... I could be...

Glad you got it fixed. That is odd that the fuse disappeared. Does the vehicle not have the Autolamp feature (including the rearview mirror with slider for timed adjustment)? The lights could be run straight from the switch without that feature. It is what needs a relay involved. I don't...

Autozone has a loaner tool, fuel pressure gauge. If you have an intake gasket leak, or any gasket leak for that matter, no need to look further until that is replaced.

The dimmer module has two separate subcircuits in it. One could work while the other has failed. You could unplug the dimmer module. If lights don't go out, that's not the problem and you can pull out the interior lamp relay if you want to stop the battery drain and could use a multimeter to...

It doesn't give me any new ideas so I'd break out the multimeter, paying extra attention to wiring faults in case a short means a damaged wire.

Right now Amazon has the Monroe SC2958 as an open box (reboxed) warehouse deal for $17.50... probably only one of them though, but I've seen several listed as warehouse deals in the past so just keep checking back there if they don't have any at a given moment. A lot of non-automotive items I...

Yeah fuses blowing won't make a light stay on. Relays generally fail open so those are doubtful too. There might be some one in a million chance that some kind of short circuit in the GEM could cause a relay to stay on and there are ways to test that, but odds are it's either the position or...

^ Yes, behind the radio. There are pictures and info in this topic: How to: - The Comprehensive Brown Wire Mod Thread If you look at that diagram I attached previously, the brown wire runs between the TOD (torque on demand solid state relay) and the transfer case connector for the 4WD...

I don't recall, when put into programming mode can one remote be added or do all have to be added again? If not it seems like a OBDII dongle and Forscan app can wipe them all out then only the ones wanted can be added. Edit: Okay I just found some info which I assume is for PATS2 which does...

Yes a difference in shaft speed sensor output will engage front wheels progressively more and more until the speed sensors are the same, when in Auto, A4WD mode. If one of the sensors isn't working that will trigger a trouble code, not engage the front shaft. With the dash switched to 4WD...

Seems fishy, too coincidental to me. Transfer case goes out and GEM goes out right when they're working on it? I mean if ONLY the GEM went out, that I could see causing a different problem of not shifting into 4Low, 4High, or engaging front in A4wd, WITH a transfer case that's fine still, but...

I just looked up the parts ahead of time and saw the brake flare fittings and nuts were standard, 3/8-24.

Yeah I always reach for metric sizes and haven't had a reason to grab a standard (that I recall) except the brake bleeders and brake line flare nuts. Sometimes a rusty fastener will seem like standard is a better fit but if I get lazy and try a standard, too often it would just round the bolt...

Fuse 27 is what your owner's manual indicates? I'm seeing fuse 26 for those, listed as battery saver relay but that's the first relay they all run through. Considering that if fuses don't blow in this scenario they aren't worth ****, I'd assume it's a fuse, but the other things before the...

I looked around a bit and it seems that the OHV regulator won't fit, has a mounting bracket around the centerline of the vac chamber while the SOHC has a flat plate at one end, as well as the SOHC version having a braided fuel hose married to it instead of separate as on the OHV version. It's...

^ Agreed. To restate, from either Auto or 4Hi (does not matter which), all that is needed is stop and put tranny in neutral... maybe put your foot on the brake too, would be a great idea even if not electrically required, but it looks like it might be required because the GEM takes a brake...

I saw a post where someone with an '02 Explorer has some sort of box at the rear of the RIGHT rear quarter panel. Picture and topic as follows, the problem is different but it indicates to me that something was placed in the right rear qtr panel with the design change: Explorer XLT: I have a...

One other possibility I might entertain, considering the age of the vehicle and having a desire to work towards a known outcome if other avenues become exhausted, is DIY wire this. IF your circuit is like the diagram I posted in post #5, then the Headlamp Switch is not just a logic switch to...

A few other thoughts I have are to pull the headlight switch to see if it's not conducting through the Parking Lamp output in the on position, and if you have the Autolamp feature (mirror with adjustable time-out and light sensing to turn headlights on) there may be corrosion of the wires going...

That relay seems to be in the driver's side rear quarter panel, at least that's what member handyman2011 stated here for his '98 Sport: Parking Light Problem I'd just going to backtrack and state that I have no idea where it is, lol.

Wait. I got curious and looked up a 2001 Sport relay box that matches what you pictured and don't see the exterior lights relay in it! I don't know where it is in your vehicle unless it's the "Indicator Flasher Relay", but isn't that one of those mechanical flasher modules for the turn...

Remove fuse 11 and use a multimeter to check for continuity between fuse 11 out and each socket location's pin 1 or 5, since the tan/white connects the two. Keep in mind that if your footwell relay box changed, it might be possible that something else is different too. I mean if your owners...

I don't know when/what changed relay box layout but here's another one. Meter testing would require putting 12V across the coil to energize it and close the open relay contacts, but assuming that one you swapped into the park lamp position was working in its prior position then it should have...

Seems likely to be the Park Lamp Relay, try swapping it with the one-touch down relay. It's in a box on the right side of the driver's footwell. If that doesn't turn out to be the problem, grab the 2nd Gen Wiring Diagrams linked in my sig and check the file named...

So it seems possible that the stereo (headphone) icon and it's disappearance, along with worse sound quality, is just coincidence. For the worse FM reception I would try unplugging and replugging the stereo rear antenna cable a few times, and at the junction of the cable to the fender antenna...

I'd wonder if the sub amp circuit board has broken solder joint(s), pull it out and examine it. Other than that, I'd wait till it wasn't working then check both ends of every wire for resistance, and inspect the plug contacts for corrosion. Similarly with a multimeter you can try to probe for...

Fog lights are a 15A fuse #8, 2nd one down on the right side column. The picture below also shows fuse #4 in the under-hood power distribution box, but it is unclear to me why because that fuse is not in my fog light wiring diagram. There should be a diagram of the fuse box in the owner's...

A little more info might help, since you are new here and we don't know what problem this presents. Are you looking to take it offroad and/or put bigger tires on and find lack of clearance, or just trying to level the ride? Was it previously carrying a lot of interior cargo? Front torsion bar...

You can check continuity between the fuse or skip to the relay, between it and pump connector with a multimeter. Add an extension wire if the meter probe leads are too short. Maybe a rodent chewed through the wire. As far as your concerns about the dark green wire between the relay box and...

Unplug the connector to the pump. Have a helper activate the pump from the steering column lever while you use a test light or multimeter to measure for voltage. Since the pump is insulted by the tank plastic, there should be two wires, both power and ground to it. You can check for 12V...

You'd wire the pins on the new connector based on the wires/colors used on the old one. Anything unused you can just wire tie out of the way, though if the unused ones still get some power feed back from the switch, insulate them from each other and ground.

As far as I know the stock towing package adapter harness is on the left side, so if there is one on the right side, it could be that a prior owner added it. Does it use the same connector and # of pins in it? If that's the case then the question becomes do you need more than the stock...

There are various topics about center console removal that you can find with a forum search. Here's one: 2nd gen console removal

Yeah, it's a good idea to try to get the old one off before ordering a new motor so you know whether you need the squirrel cage portion too.

I don't have the 5.0L, but if it has only 4 coils then it has to use the waste spark system, which as I understand it means that the spark travels from ground to the electrode on one bank of plugs and from electrode to ground on the other banks' plugs, which could cause more wear on the plugs...

Forscan plus a wifi or USB OBDII adapter for a Windows laptop, bluetooth or wifi android or wifi apple tablet or phone OBDII adapter, is around $30 or less if you can't get any place to read ABS codes for free. As far as I know the OBDII-only scanners at Autozone, Advance Auto, etc auto parts...

I must not be understanding what you mean because the bottom pictured connector looks to me like it should fit the top right pictured connector, assuming that the two horizontal brass pieces in the top right pic are only present at the base of the socket, not sticking up like the other contacts...
