I just bought a 2014 Expolorer. Three of the four seat belts have cuts from the edge 1/4 inch or more deep. Some with multiple cuts. Driver belt is ok, it may have been replaced. It is like the moveable snap in piece has a rough edge that wears through the belt. Anyone else seen this? No sign of...

My 02 Explorer has had chattering under the dash for about a year off and on. Thought it was the climate system but it has become more regular now. Yesterday it was almost constant and noticed it would stop anytime I put on the brake or use the turn signal. It also stops if emergency flashers...

My instrument panel compass only displays S or SW no matter which direction I go. Anyone have any experience with connector problems or any other ideas?

I just put new pads on my 02 and had a couple problems. The tab that fit in the stainless steel retainer was just too big. I like a snug fit, but these were just not going to fit. Filing some of the extremes made them fit in. When I tightened up the caliper slide pins, the assembly froze...

I have to replace the rear passengers side half shaft because of a bad boot. This was from a catastrophic bearing failure before I bought it. I replaced it with a DORMAN split boot that was a piece of junk. Now I have to replace the shaft because it let water in. Because there is no after...

I bought a 2001 Explorer with independent rear suspension about a year ago. I replaced the rear passenger side wheel bearing at that time because of a previous bungled repair. It had been driven so long with a bad bearing the brake disk cut into the brake backing plate and it had to be welded...

I recently bought a repo 2002 Explorer with only one key. I've had a second key programmed and have a third blank that I am trying to get cut. The key machine at LOWES doesn't have the fixture to hold the blank, or at least that is what they tell me. Anyway, I'm not sure I want confused...

Trying to find where the factory entry code is located for the keyless entry keypad on the 02 Explorer I just bought. Over the last ten years this module has been playing musical chairs with where they put it, going from back side panel, B column, front side, radio, airbag, etc. Searched threads...

Trying to diagnose drivers side seat motor problem in an 02 XLT I just bought. Having computer problems and unable to download owners manual from Ford at this time, even here I'm getting constant script errors. I have no power at the switch. Can someone can tell me the fuse number at the dash...

Well, I'm back again. Just drove home from the auction with my 02 XLT and was hearing this chunk chunk chunk from the back when I took my foot off the gas. Got home and the rear passenger side boot is slit. Haven't jacked it up yet, but it looks like I need a half shaft at least. This only...

I had a real floppy column shift lever on my 97 with no distinct detent. Drive was between positions on the indicator. Posted on several boards to see if any one else had this problem near the end of last year with no response. Started tearing the dash apart, but it didn't take much to...

Shift lever has no real distinct positions anymore. Wife was complaining that it was jumping out of park. With the cable disconnected from the transmission it is really sloppy feeling with no distinct detents. I adjusted the cable so park works better but the gear positions fall mid...

As I eliminate noises in my ‘97, new ones become apparent. This is just a little one from the horizontal shock on the rear differential. The problem originates from the cast bracket that holds the shock on the differential. This can not squeeze down on the center metal sleeve in the shock...

I had to replace a front bearing hub on my 97 with 145K on it. Best price I could fine for replacement was a Timken (same as factory) for $140 with a new sensor. I had questions about the internal construction so I pressed the old one apart on a 20 ton press. Probably took less than 10 tons...

Well I opened the 4405 transfer case on my 97. Know what your thinking, can't get it back together. Not at all, doesn't look bad at all to put back. Just a lot of work for nothing. Took it out because I had a lot of up down play on the rear output shaft. I was wondering why I did't have...

Want to order a rebuild kit today for the transfer case from www.kdsperformance.com for my 97 OHV auto 4WD Control Trac. I've searched and can't find the case number on the board or any literature I have.

My 97 started vibrating like a U joint. When I inspected it, I found the transfer case rear bearing had a lot of play and had started leaking again. Rear seal was replaced about 6 months ago and when I bought it 35K ago it had only about a pint of nasty fluid in it. Also made funny noises...

Well my 97 at 135K my O2 sensor on bank 2 seems to be failing. Pulled it out and it has this green powder coating on the sensor shield. Even Kermit sang "It's not easy being green." Had some slightly used sensors from my 92, Bosch 13187 that I thought about using by cutting off the plastic...

Had to replace the water pump on my 92 and figured I'd change the leaking front crank seal while the area was open. NAPA wanted almost $16 for just the seal but were out of stock, Pep Boys and Autozone didn't carry it or they couldn't find it. Finally, a local store carries the FELPRO carried...

I was ust checking my belt and looked at the tensioner. No noises or problems but it is obviously bent where it mounts to the engine. The internal white plastic bushing has a lot of space on one side and not the other. Is this just the tensioner internal bushing wearing or is the casting...

Sure this isn't the righ place but have any you noticed you can buy Ford stock for under $6.75 a share the last couple of days. Anyone here think they are going to go out of business? A few years back the Wall Street Journal did a piece on the auto companies. If the companies spun off the...

on my 97. If it hadn't, I was going to take a baseball bat to it this spring to collect insurance. It has been driving me nuts with those little sandblast pits in the rain and from the glare when the sun hits it just right. How many of you have replaced a windshield just because of this...

I was driving around yesterday in my 97 and suddenly started getting brake noise. Rubbing then howling. By the time I got to the parts store, it was locking up at every stop. Passenger rear was cooking so I bought new pads and a caliper. Got home and the pads and caliper seemed fine. Tried...

This has been discussed before but I was never able to find the exact information needed for a quick temporary fix for my 97. I wanted to find the best point of entry to physically move the blend door. So consequently, I had to turn my plenum box into Swiss cheese. The black plastic plenum...

I need an overdirve clutch drum for my 92 Explorer and wondering if anyone has a a good retail source for hard parts and if there is an updated part I should use.
