Trying to replace a front (driver's side) CV axle on a 2002 Mountaineer AWD. Doing a bunch of other front end work, so just about everything is out except the steering knuckle w/tie rod attached (upper control arm is out). Couldn't for the life of me figure out a way to position things to get...

Sounds like a brake pedal switch. When I short the wires to the switch, the brake lights come on, which also makes me think it's the switch. However, this morning I replaced the brake pedal switch with a brand new one, and I've still got the same problems. Can't shift out of park (at least...

I've got a 2004 Mountaineer with the 4L SOHC, and I'm getting intermittent noise from the front timing chain area. Hoping the timing chain tensioner is just getting weak and needs replaced, rather than the entire timing set. Trouble is, I can't seem to find just the timing chain tensioner to...

I have a Motorcraft class III hitch that I bought for my 1997 Explorer. Does anyone know if it will fit on my 2000 Mountaineer? It was never installed on the Explorer.

Does anyone know if you can put a door from a 98 (same model) on a 97? I've seen junkyards list the 95-97's together and the 98-00's together, so I was wondering, but not seeing them side-by-side, they look pretty much the same.

Has anybody installed one of these in an explorer that came with the JBL system? I picked one up for $25 on Craigslist, and after pulling the trim panel it's apparent that in order to install the darned thing, I'm going to have to take out the factory sub amp. If you've already done this, where...

I want to hook up a rear view camera in my 97 Eddie w/Kenwood DDX7017, but there's a wire that's supposed to be hooked to the reverse lamp harness (I'm assuming this would go to the +12v wire for the backup lights). Does anyone know if there's a location to tap into this in the front of the...

Are there any guidelines for figuring out how much a towed load weights? Specifically, I'm looking at a 20' '89 Sea Ray on a trailer. Sea Ray's website says the dry weight of the boat is 2315. How would I figure out the weight of the trailer (single axle)? I've got a '97 EB 5.0L AWD, so the...

Blend door replacement: Today's test subject is a 1997 Eddie Bauer Explorer. Hopefully yours will be somewhat similar. I’m going to assume that you’ve correctly assessed the problem, and that your blend door indeed needs replaced. You’ll come across all sorts of instructions on the internet...

Turns out the 97 Eddie Bauer that I just picked up had a bum Blend Door Actuator (dreaded "click of death"). I googled around for the easiest way to replace it, but no matter what, it seemed it'd be quite a challenge getting that 3rd screw (the one in back of the actuator) out. A little "out...

I just picked up a 1997 Eddie Bauer, which had the JBL sound system in it. The previous owner removed the stock radio, and I'm trying to find a set of adapters so I can install my Kenwood. I know about the stock radio controller and sub amp being in the back, but every adapter set I find doesn't...
