And now, the window Did this tonight (FINALLY! Been very busy since this original post) and all the lights inside, except the CC light, and keyless entry pad light work fine. Not concerned about either, however... I left work today, rolled up the front windows to make a phone call, back...

Okay, did another search and found a picture of the wire in the raceway, at driver's side rear door. The wiring most often mentioned (one pink yellow(?) in to 3 others) seems to be perfectly intact. I pulled the heat shrink back and the connection and condition of the wires seems to be fine...

Yeah, I did the search before I posted. I was pretty sure the CC issue was just the bulb, and, there's only two buttons, so, no biggie. Didn't find anything in particular about the wires in the door post, but, I'll try and do a refined search. Thanks.

Anyone? All the fuses in the fuse panel, at the driver's side door, are intact.

I posted a follow up to a thread earlier, about the lighting in my driver's side courtesy light not working, even after changing the bulb out. When I got in my Ex tonight, I started to look around and realized NONE of the lighting on the driver's side door works. No lights on the window...

Okay, a follow up question to this. I replaced the bulbs and the passenger's side works fine, however, the driver's side courtesy light still doesn't work. I checked the wire, and followed it up in to the harness bundle: no frays, no exposed spots, no burn marks. Any ideas on what else I...

Get some tools, get a friend, get some money together, find a "U-Pull-It" type junk yard. Find out which years will match yours (1995-01?) and pull them off of one at a salvage yard. This takes a little bit of know how and a decent, but not huge, set of tools. For specialty tools, like a...

It's the same on most Fords, pretty much across the board. It's a fairly easy fix, though, if you have big hands, I recommend getting help with putting the bolt back in. As stated before, there is a square spot in the tensioner itself, on the back (fire wall) side of the tensioner. Put a...

This is the one that I got, and it wouldn't power my laptop: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10780287 This is the one I am considering hard wiring in to the vehicle: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10780288 more info from B&D's website...

This solves the problem. The input of the power supply for the laptop is "110-240volts 2.5AMPS" so...if I sort of split down the middle and go, say, 180x2.5=450watts. Basic logic says that a 400w power inverter won't work. So, tomorrow, I will be getting a 750.

Cigarette lighter. Does it need to be direct wired?? Thanks.

Okay, I must be missing something HUGE! I just tried a 400w and it will not run the power supply for my laptop.

I am planning a road trip. I want to take my laptop with me and run it off of a power inverter. This way I can run my GPS on my laptop, and a few other things that are on there, and surf the net at rest stops, etc. Does anyone know what SIZE power inverter I need? I've seen them at the parts...

p0401

DOH! good call!

As stated in a previous thread, my Check Engine light came on. Had it scanned and it said it was an EGR code. Someone here told me to post the actual code. I had it redone today, and the code that came up was: P0401. Any ideas? I really don't want to go through the entire EGR system piece...

I'll find out tomorrow again, (they just told me it was an "EGR code"). Then post it tomorrow evening. Thanks. Jes

It's a controlled burn of the lands around the pads. They do them all the time. This one just happened to be really sizable. Probably something to do with an instant weather change from low 90s to high 60s in 24 hours. After the fact, I took the X in to Auto Zone and had the alternator...

Took all the wires off, reconnected them. Then, jump started it and drove it around (nice big fire going on at NASA right now). Drove it back home and parked it, let it set for a few minutes. Turned the key over and it fired right up. I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I LOVE THIS...

Okay, did a web search for "starter solenoid ford explorer images" and got this: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=168889 (Man, I LOVE this site!) As stated in the post there, all the wires came off of one post (I asked my g/f, who has the better memory of the two of us...

And THIS is why I belong to forums. Went out and checked on it this morning. I DID, in fact, miss the wire from the alternator to the solenoid. The connector ring fell behind another wire and I didn't see it. Now, before I screw anything ELSE up... There is a thick wire with a double...

Today I replaced my starter solenoid. Disconnected the negative terminal of the battery, changed out the solenoid, and started the truck, seemed fine. It was daylight. Tonight, I was driving and noticed that the light on the radio started to get dimmer. Then, the ABS light came on. Then...

Can it be lubed with something as simple as say...WD40? Or is there something better and more suitable for this procedure? Thanks. Jes

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it!

I have a 96 XLT with SportTrac. There is a rather substantial thumping in the front passenger's side tire, that increases, equally, with acceleration. My guess is the hub needs to be replaced. I'm going to replace both front hubs at once. When I look on various parts sites, and even eBay, I...
