    2000 Explorer has Transmission Shift Issues

    No. I wouldn't know how to do that, so is that something I should ask the dealer (Service dept.)? Is that something they can do without totally rebuilding the transmission? (It's been about 35-40 years since I knew anyone that did that, so I can't remember that far back). I know very little...

    2000 Explorer has Transmission Shift Issues

    A couple of days ago, my 2000 Explorer Limited started having issues when shifting from 1st to 2nd. All other shifts seem to be okay. Well - it has 128k miles on it, so I had the transmission filter changed, which included a 'pan drop' (but not complete flush of transmission fluid). I found...

    Still having problems with heated seat...

    I had a previous post on this, but I've done a couple of things and it still doesn't work. I have a 2000 Explorer Limited with heated leather seats. The passenger seat works fine, but the driver seat does not. A few months back it started get really hot right before it quit working...

    I need some ideas on heated seat prob

    I have a '00 Explorer Limited, and the driver's side heated seat has stopped working. For several weeks it would get really hot (so you'd have to turn it off after a few minutes), and then it simply stopped completely. Does anyone have ideas on repairing this? Is it part of any known...

    number pad entry

    On my '00 It's located in the driver's side jack compartment. Recommended code is: Look at the VIN and use the last 5 digits of the VIN when programming. That way - you never need to remember the code if needed, just look at the VIN in the front windshield (driver's side). The code is...

    Heating issue

    My first guess would be to replace the thermostat. We have 2 Explorers (99 and 00), and we've replaced the thermostat 3 times in the 00 and 1 time in the 99. However, since you mention the tranny - if it's automatic - it has fluid lines to the radiator (it sounds like you know that since you...

    Explorer - what do you like/dislike and what would you change?

    Actually my wife and daughter each have an X and prefer them to a car. I like my 2k2 Maxima personally, but here's a list of likes/dislikes on the X: Likes: running boards mirror lights easy access in and out (for old farts like me) comfortable on the highway and trips sits up above...

    Rap sheet a mile long!!! I AM NOT IMPRESSED

    Paul - I've had a lemon myself (93 Plymouth van) and I know the feeling. It is interesting about your replacing the console twice. My daughter has a '99 Sport and she broke the console/armrest by throwing her bookbag on it. I asked her if she wanted me to replace it and she said "Is it going...

    A/C Problems

    This probably has absolutely nothing to do with your particular AC problem, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. I have a '00 Limited and have had problems on 2 occasions with the thermostat. The last time was in warm weather and the AC absolutely shut down and would not work. Ford...

    Radio LED display fix!!!

    Thanks bseblfevr9 - I tried this yesterday and it worked just like you stated. I have no idea how you ever determined the solution to this. I had taken my radio out before and had examined it - but saw nothing wrong. I didn't take the component out however - so I missed seeing the problem. I...

    Radio Display is out, Please Help.

    Add me twice to this long list. I have 2 Explorers with the same problem. About 6 months ago my '99 Sport starting doing this. Sometimes it would work and then it wouldn't. Finally it quit altogether. About 2 months ago, my '00 Limited did the same thing. The warranty had just expired so I...

    new to site. how do I release spare tire?

    rhyno is correct on the removal tool. Lower the rear seat, and lift the flap behind the seats, and the 2 rods are located there. Connect those to the lug-wrench (there is a square hole in the center of it), insert the rods into the hole, and turn until the tire is lowered enough to remove...
