Only the drivers window acts funny. Wonder if the motor in the window had a short if it would effect the ignition ? Not blowing fuses though. Sure is strange.

Hanks for your reply. Battery is new and cables all look good.motor runs smooth and charging good as usual. But whn itsput in gear the motor dies. Very strange

Thanks for the reply. Battery is new, cranks over fast as usual. Motor runs smooth, but as soon as you put the car in gear, it dies. charging well as usual. Just trying to find out why it dies when plad in gear.

I have a 1996 explorer, v6 Auto transmissuon XLT. I got in it, stated to engine, and when I put it in gear, the engine shutoff. I noticed also when rolling up the drivers side front window, it went up jittery, studdered. Start stop etc real fast. The car would not start for some time, I had to...

Hello all, I have a 1996 bone stock Explorer XLT inbeautiful shape. Recently I have been struggling to fix this problem. Here are the simptoms: When rrolling up the drivers front window, it pulses and the 4WD light flashes with the pulsing. And when you place the car in gear the engine shuts off...

Thanks so much for taking the time to write such an informative reply. I'm sure with the info you gave me my mechanic should be able tofix my car. Thank you again.

Fuse #19 I think. It blows as soon as the key it turned to on. I saw in the sschematics that the exm relay, a radio ffilter and one more item seemed to be the only thing it powers, my mechac cntfind the short. Thank you.

My 1996 Explorer xlt now all of a sudden blows the ignition fuse onte side of th dash. It blows as soon as you turn the key to The on position. My mechanic has been tryng to find the short for 1 month now. Anyone out there ever have this problem? Or can give me some advise about how to find and...

It as there for 6 months and they rebuilt it 3 times. They say it's good.

I have a prblem I hope someone N e else had, and can help me get my Explorer fixed. When driving my 1996 ExPlorer, 4.0L V6 auto trans , sometimes it just goes to neutral, or kicks out of over five, or doesn't go into overdrive. Also,, when everything is good, for no reason, the O/D off light...

Agree. I have a reusable K&N filter, and I washd ND lightly oid it. It was very dirty. The throttle body was very nasty. It's been a few years sincI last cleaned it as well as the IAC module. But all is good now, runs great, shift ropperly now and seems to all bine. Thanks for thenput.

Thanks for the rely, that is just what I was thinkig. I'm happy with te performance since I cleaned everything. I could NOT believe how nasty the throttle body and IAC was. Took an entire can of carb cleaner to clean them. Thas again.

Have a 1996 explorer bone stock with V6 4.0l motor . I have been having transmission issues. Automatic transmission 4r55e. Shifting weird, in out of overdrive, not going into overdrive at all or waiting to shift at 55mph. I had the transmission. Rebuilt and it was better but just not right...

well I have been to several alignment and balance shops, but I do not remember any of them checking caster or camber. they put on some reflective things on my wheels and set things up with the computer. I would think that if the caster or camber were off the outside or inside of my tires would...

strange, I ordered my replacement rack from RockAuto and it cam with all that stuff.

well Joe, have you reset your computer ? you should remove the electrical connector from the IAC with the motor running ( warmed up) and it should idle at 500rpm. if it does not, remove the cover from the front of the throttle body, look there on the front, you should find a threaded rod that...

I have a beautiful 1996 XLT and it is in perfect condition. I live and drive in Abu Dhabi, about 45 min. south of Dubai. I was very lucky to find this Explorer here. I have done so much to it to make it perfect. BUT, I have a strange symptom I am hoping someone can help steer me in the right...

I have a 1996 explorer that 1 or 2 times a month, the check engine light comes on. When I read the code I get a P0401, indicating excessive EGR flow like the EGR valve is stuck open. I have a new EGR valve, tube and sensors. And I still get the P0401. Any ideas? I have already changed the...

hello, i have a 1996 Explorer with the 4.0L V6 engine, with automatic transmission, and 68,249 mikes on her. it runs great and I love my Explorer. I get about 259 miles on a tank of gas, and was just wondering what kind of Milage other folks are getting so I know if mine is doing good or not. so...

NO...the CV axles go through the front wheel bearing hub and the big nut also holds the hub bearing together. you won't get very far if you removed the front CV axles and go driving. sounds like a good idea, but it really will distroy your front bearing hubs with nothing holding the bearing...

hello, i had the same problem, my idle was high. I found the hard plastic hose under the throttle body had cracks at both ends, so I replaced the hard line with regulad rubber fuel line and now it idles very low, just like yours does, so i removed the air cleaner large hose off the front of the...

hello, i had the same problem in my 96. i found on the botom of the throttle body there is a hard plastic line that goes over to under the front of the drivers side fender to return gas fumes to and from the tank. it had cracked at both ends. I replaced it with a regular fuel line rubber hose...

I installed a back up cam on my 1996 XLT. i mounted it to the top of my license plate. ran the power wire from the back up light to power the cam and ran the cable from the cam up to the stero for display. I had to find the wire under the drivers side kisk panel that goes hot when in reverse to...

thanks for the info

I was driving my 1996 4.0 automatic explorer down the highway at about 75 mph with the cruise control on. all of a sudden my tranny popped out of overdrive and went into neutral, the engine tached up to almost 6000 rpm before i could shut down the cruise control. I fixed the tranny problem, it...

Thank you very much. I will check that.

I have a 98 Xlt auto trans. I love the old Girl, never lets me down. I do a lot of highway speed traveling for my job and I have noticed that when I'm cursing at speeds over 6o or 70, that from time to time the A/C vents stop blowing out of the A/C Vents, and it switches to the Defrost vents. If...

Well I had the same problem with my 96 explorer. Changed the wheel bearing hubs twice, no difference what I did was disconnect the front drive shaft and go for a ride. Same noise, so I put the front drive shaft back in and removed the 2 cc shafts that connect the wheels to the front Dana 35...

Thanks guys for the input. I guess I won't worry about it. all good.

So let me get this right. When in heater mode, defrost mode , I guess all mode except for vent. The a/c will cycle on and off ?

Wow. OK. So even in the heater mode it comes on sometimes ? Thanks.

Hi, I have a 1996 ford explorer xlt 4.0l V6OHV engine. love the car, but I have this one issue. when the climate control switch is set to defrost or heater positions, ( turned to the right) I have noticed that my A/C compressor is also on. is this correct ? I would think that rotating the switch...
