Hi guys, I was working on replacing my spark plugs and wires today when I noticed this on my engine. I assume it's not supposed to be melted away like this. A few questions about it: 1) what is it, what does it do? 2) how did it get in that condition? 3) do I need to replace it urgently? 4)...

Hi all, I apologize if this has been posted about before. I recently bought a 2000 Explorer 4Dr and quickly realized that I could unlock but not lock the doors from any of the switches or the remote. I did some research and found that there is a connection under the carpet in the back seat...

Hi everyone! 2002 Explorer Limited 4.6 with rear A/C. I have noticed coolant loss along with my heat not working that well. I noticed coolant on my driveway, but it is coming from behind the engine (between the engine and transmission). I looked under the car, none of the hoses are leaking or...

Hi All, Just picked up a 2002 Explorer Limited V8 with 131k on the clock. I replaced my wrecked '97 Explorer. Anyway, I bought this with the ABS light on. I was okay with it because I thought it was probably just the rear sensor. During the test drive and on the entire drive home (90...

Hi everyone, Looking to seek a little guidance, even though there may already be a forum for this. I have a 1997 4.0 SOHC Explorer with 152,309 miles. I bought it 11 months ago with 140,000 miles. Since I purchased it, I have checked the oil level nearly every time I am at the pump. I changed...

Can anyone recommend a good remote start installer in the Seattle, WA area? I usually do all of my own stereo installs, but the relays and wire splicing in the remote start install is beyond me and I don't trust places like CarToys. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated...

Hi guys, I believe I had a previous post regarding this and I need a little help figuring out what is going on. Since I bought my Explorer, I have had an issue with the air conditioning compressor cycling on and off. With the clicking on and off, it would put a load on the engine and...

Hi all, I have a 1997 Explorer 4.0l SOHC with roughly 147,700 miles. I purchased it back in February from the second owner, the car was always garaged and is close to perfect. Never thought I would have any trouble with it, until last night. I got home after driving about 50 miles, turned the...

Hi All, I ordered an HID kit for my 1998 Mercury Mountaineer off of eBay (which may not have been the smartest thing in the world), I received the kit today and spent two hours installing it only to find that it was stuck in high beam mode and that the high beam light was constantly on, so I...

Just bought a '98 Mountaineer, it's my first car in fact... I soon found out that the subwoofer in the Mach premium sound system is blown. As far as I know, it's a 8" JBL. It was $260+ to have it fixed through the dealership, so I have decided to go aftermarket. I purchased a new amp, which I...
