Turn out the yellow and green wire on that connector each has a fuse. One of them is blown.

Hey all, On the 4-way connector of my 2001 Ford explorer sport, the yellow wire, the one for left side light, doesn't have any voltage when I turn on left turn signal or step on brake pedal. I'm hoping to find the connector these four wires are connected to so that I can trace where the...

When I took off the front hub, I found this o-ring. But I wasn't paying attention where it was. Judging by the size, it should sit between the hub and knuckle. Is it right? Also the new hub I ordered doesn't come with this oring. Can I just reuse this one? Thanks Jia

I don't think there is much to it, but just want to be sure. The instruction that comes with the control arm says to use suitable press tool to install the boot. But it seems all it takes is just to push it on by hand. Did I miss something? Thanks Here's how it looks now: It stays there, but...

Just a friendly note to folks who have never seen a ball joint before, like yours truly. If you use a press to remove the ball joint, make sure the receiving cup is large enough for the widest part of the ball joint. This may sound silly, but before I started the job, I looked briefly at...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I usually order parts for this explorer from 1A auto. They are out of stock on 1-piece design. I looked around on amazon and other sites. The 1-piece design is significantly more expensive than the 2-piece one. I will stick with the 2-piece kind for now. Another...

Only the driver side has new circlip, yes? On passenger side, the circlip is on the transmission side. The new half shaft doesn't come with a new circlip.

Both rubber boots on the half shaft are cracking. So I figure it's probably easier to just replace the whole shaft in stead of renewing the boots.

Hey, all, I just removed the driver side half shaft from a 2001 explorer sport, and would like to get some suggestions on two issues. 1. After I remove the shaft, a small amount oil dripped out. Is it normal? Should it be completely oil free? The exterior around half shaft and intermediate...

Hey, all, I'm replacing the upper control arm on my 2001 explorer sport due to aged ball joint. I have the 2-piece kind installed on my car. However when I look up part on 1A Auto, they suggested the 1-piece design. Are they interchangeable? Is one better than another? I assume that the...

Hello, While I'm replacing rear shock absorber on my 2001 sport, I found this hose on the ground. I probably have accidentally disconnected it. Would love to know where it's supposed to connect to? Looks like some sort of venting hose. thanks jia

Hi, guys, I have a 2001 Explorer Sport. I don't have concrete evidence on this. But I have a feeling that the issue with wheel spinning when starting in rain has worsened over time. Also, both my wife and I have experienced oversteering at reasonable cornering speed when it's raining. We had...

When I jacked up the car, and rotated the wheel by hand, I didn't hear any noise. I assume hub is probably ok.

I have been trying to figure out the cause of some noise (grinding ?) at low speed on my 2001 explorer sport. It probably occurs at high speed as well, but I can't hear any. The noise seems coming from somewhere toward front portion of the car. Following factory and Haynes manual, I checked...

Thanks, imp. This sounds very much like my car's symptom. I finally got a hold of a pressure gauge, and checked the fuel press. When key is on, but engine isn't running. I have less 5psi pressure. However, when the engine starts running, I have normal 65psi. Since, to my knowledge, the fuel...

Hello all, Once a while, my 2001 explorer sport would turn over but not start. If I turn the key a few more times, eventually it will start. This symptom seems has been discussed numerous times. The potential cause ranges from air intake sensor, relay, to fuel pump. But I wonder if there's...

Hi, I'm planning to replace the head unit on my 2001 explorer sport with an after market unit. I want to have an iPhone interface and radio. I don't have to have CD player. Any recommendations for under $300? Also, what kind of installation kit would I need? Thanks

Hey, new member here. Just want to say thank you to people who have been contributing. From your posts, I figured out how to replace exterior mirror and 4x4 control module, which saved me a couple hundred dollars of labor cost. Next on my to do list: 1. Replace head unit with one that has...
