Downshift problem The fluid was changed by the dealer about 5000 miles (2 months) ago. It was a partial change, no flushing, just dropped the pan. They didn't say anything regarding color. Later today after I get home from work will check the color, but got home late last night, so didn't...

Hi, Have a 97 Explorer XLT (automatic w/overdrive) with over 200,000 miles. Today driving having a whir/whine type noise from under the vehicle when the vehicle appeared to downshift. We were at highway speeds and when the RPMs hit just under 2000 had the noise. The RPMs dropped down when...

Ok, found on an old thread that not only is the fuel pump relay a possibility, but also the PCM relay ties into the system so I went out and exchanged the PCM relay with the A/C WOT relay and after 3 cranks it started. I shut off and tried again and it started right up. I think swapping relays...

4wd Indicator lights I have a 1997 XLT that also has the indicator lights flashing. I was told I have a code 1781. Is there an easy way to determine what the problem is? What might be the problem? Sensors? Shift motor? GEM? Lots of expensive parts.
