    TOP OFF Leaking Rear Diff Fluid

    I purchased a gear oil bottle pump from walmart. The prices are lower than the parts store and even the gear oil. The leak in the front has nothing to do with the work you did in the rear. It could just be water. Now your pro at it.

    Also, add wheel bearing grease or similar, too the back of axle seal. You see the spring, the grease keeps the spring from popping out. Also add some axle oil too the opening of the seal after you get it install. It help the axle slip in. Not too damage the seal.

    1998 Explorer electrical issue: windows, wipers, interior lights stop working when car is running

    I experience a bad connection with barrel pin. I rang out fine with a meter, but when you apply voltage, it went open. It was in a plastic connector body. I am thinking maybe a bad body ground. If the ground is sharing the same ground stud with the PCM ground.

    Rough idle, stalling periodically

    A bad Coolant sensor will cause those issue. You did not state what the long and short term fuel ratio was. What about MAF values? Who made the MAF sensor.
