I have a set of never used rear semi-metallic brake pads, for a '96 Explorer still in original box. Can be used for other Ford vehicles. Ford dealer part number BR2 XU2Z-2V200-SA D667M. Located in Harbor City $25

In 1996 or 1997, at the LA Auto Show, they had a ford explorer with the back compartment sealed and filled with water and fish. Basically a fish tank. Does anyone have a link to pictures of that vehicle with the fish tank? Thanks

You really think replacing 3 arms and blades would be the same price as a can of paint? Would the parts store carry the wiper arms for a 1997 Explorer?

Thanks

My front and rear wiper arms are losing their paint and the aluminum is showing through. How do I go about repainting them? What paint should I use? Thanks

I finally found the problem area that was causing the fuse to blow and knock out the cruise control and overhead console. Apparently the rear blower, which stopped functioning was, causing the fuse to blow. Thanks for everyones help.

Looks like I finally found the problem area. Apparently the rear blower went out and this was causing the fuse to blow and knock out the cruise control and overhead console. Thanks everyone for their help.

I have looked through my shop manual for the rear blower motor relay, and I am not able to find the location. This is for a 96. Anybody know where it is? Thanks

Nobody has worked on my car other than myself and I haven't had any major problems other than this recent one. 1. Is it possible that the relay went bad and is now causing it to blow when the EATC is turned off. In the past before I had this problem I would hear, beneath the arm rest, a...

I wonder if that is the what is causing my fuse to blow? Also what is a EATC controller?

wiring at the servo connector for any heat damage The wiring is fine at the servo, but I have not had time to do any further work. Here's an interesting. The rear heater blower will blow air when I turn the temp. to OFF, but when I go to anything else, such as a/c, to the feet, defrost etc...

I started it up this morning and it blew the fuse. I have not inspected the wiring yet, but will get to it when I find some time.

Here's the latest update; As you know I replaced the SCDS, it came with an short piece of wiring. Well I drove the vehicle for a few hours, and parked it overnight. This morning is was fine, but had to stop for gas. When I started up I knew the fuse had blown because my overhead console was...

Update: I pulled the plug on the SCDS and the fuse is not blowing, so I am going to replace the SCDS. Since everyone was mentioning that theirs was leaking and mine wasn't, I figured that the part was not necessarily bad. Since my vehicle is a '96 I don't come under the recall, so I am going...

I think the key was on the first time it blew, not absolutely positive. I do know that one of the times I snapped the cover back on, the car was running at the time, everything was working and I thought the problem might be solved. Will disconnect the SCDS and servo tonight. Thanks

That's my immediate feeling, but I'm not a mechanic, just a shade tree one, and then you have to ask yourself, what do you do, just pull the panel and look at the back? Well that's just one of the many ideas to explore, and since I have this update I am wondering if any of the guys feel any...

Thanks for all the info. so far. Don't you guys think since I was parked and I didn't have the cruise control on, heater not on, ac not on, that just the simple task of snapping the fuse cover back on would cause the fuse to blow, that it might be perhaps the wiring on the back of the fuse box...

Okay, here is an update. I went for fuse #10, checked it and it was blown. So I thought, hey this might be easy, so I kept my fingers crossed and put in a new one. It worked, so I drove down to the parts store and everything worked fine. I then put the fuse cover on and the fuse blew. So I got...

I have shop manuals for the car and I had been looking in there for a couple of hours one day and just gave up. The shop manuals stink, not like the Chrysler manuals I had, where things could be looked up quickly. The owners manual is not where I looked initially, but I did this morning and...

Thanks for the dx test. My switch is not leaking so I am pretty sure its not the culprit, I'm never that lucky. Will do the test this weekend and report back

Was yours leaking?

I check the Switch first thing and didn't notice any leaks, I reseated the plug just incase to see if it was something that simple, but no change. I don't know if it makes any difference but its red in colour.

I have a manual, but I can't located it and would you think that the same fuse might have knocked out the temp/compass display?

I have a 96 Explorer with a V8 and the cruise control doesn't work anymore, not even the light on the dash, and was wondering if there is a fuse for this function, as that would seem to be the simplest solution? Thanks

I had a brain lapse, it is a '96. It was the first year it came out with the 8.

I have a 94 Explorer with a V8 and I don't have cruise control anymore and was wondering if there is a fuse for this function? Thanks

I was wondering if corroded battery cables would cause the battery to lose its charge, and if I recharged it, would it be okay? Its a few years old.

cruise control and overhead console, for a V8 Explorer?

I have stored my V8 Explorer for the last 3 months. I start it every other day. I decided to take it on a fishing trip and I noticed I don't have any cruise control and no compass/temp display. I also have noticed that the interior lights stay on for a longer period of time. The battery did...

For a '96 explorer are the struts available as an aftermarket or only as a dealer item? If there is any after market let me know. Thanks

No, mine is not an eddie bower, its just a plain '96 V-8. It came with the CD player when we bought it new in '96. You lift up the center armrest and pull out the changer and slip in you CDs. On the dash are a number of buttons including CD, which starts your CD player.

Sorry to be a nimrud, but this is a factory unit. When you want to play your cd, you push the cd button next to the radio which is on the dash, and this starts the cd player. Under the arm rest in the center between the seats is the cds themselves and I can hear them being switched whenever I...

When I play my CDs it skips, especially when I hit a bump in the road and sometimes it just skips when the vehicle is not moving. Also I noticed, when I hit the CD button on the console to play CDs, I get the message "no CDs" even though I have the CDs loaded. I don't know if this is related or...

Thanks for the info. I would like to remain stock, by that I mean, by outward appearance it must look the same. I am not too well versed in these things so bear with me. Are we just taking about replaceing the unit that is under the arm rest or should I say the center arm rest. If that is...

Cd player has been skipping for since a year ago, so we have not used it. Took the car into a audio repair shop and was told that it could be only done at the dealership. My wife says that there is an independent guy who works on it at the dealership and requires a complete day to make the...

I own a v-8 Explorer and was wondering what shocks would be the best? I don't do any off roading. Anybody had experience with Explorer Comp Pro MX6 Monotube Adjustable shock absorbers? I was curious if this would be overkill for my vehicle? Thanks
