    Accelerates when braking

    My next problem.... I have an 06, 4.6L less than 18,000 miles on it. Kept inside. Well maintained. It had a known problem with the ABS when I purchased it which turned out to be two cracked exciter wheels. See the following for details...

    ABS Traction Control Problem

    Changed both rings out tonight. Pretty quick job. Left the axles in. Just removed the sensor, caliper and the 3 bolts. Maybe an hour for both sides. Solved the problem. Once the first ring was off, I had it in my hand and I broke it. I was not putting the iron grip to it. I got to...

    Summary; 02-05 Explorer Trailer Wiring

    My new, used 06 Explorer came with a class III hitch and standard round 7-pin connector installed at the factory. It looks like the L&R turn, tail and battery are wired and working. Is the Aux. cable routed and fused? I can't seem to find any information on it. I assume there is a...

    ABS Traction Control Problem

    I took one more look for fun. Dealer stated that the car was beyond the 3 year factory warranty so I really have nothing to loose looking at it other than my time. I made a long extension cable to go from the WSS to inside the car using some twisted pair. It appears that the black wire...

    ABS Traction Control Problem

    This is what I suspect. When I looked at the harness I was expecting it to be wrapped and routed in convoluted tube. What I see is a half backed job at best of a wrap job. Much of the harness is out in the open, unprotected. The wrap looks like it was added only to hold the separate wires...

    My first Explorer ....

    Problems are with the wheel speed. Spent a few hours on it but without any documentation, its proven to be difficult to track down. Called the dealer and plan to take it in next week. I posted details in the 06 stock section. Nice car other than that but a bit worried that it failed with...

    ABS Traction Control Problem

    Good info. Just used the 1K to limit the current and make sure I did not damage the sensor when using the bench supply. Just to be clear for anyone reading this. If you hook up a current meter between the sensor and a fixed power supply, like the battery, the sensor will become damaged...

    ABS Traction Control Problem

    I have an 06, 4.6L less than 18,000 miles on it. Was stored in a garage. Bought it used with a known problem with the ABS/traction control. The ABS, traction control and power train lamps all come on once the car get above 30 or so MPH. They may go back off and come back on at random...
