I had my keyless entry fob (the only one I had) stolen from my house recently and have to disable the keyless entry system as soon as possible. Until I can get a replacement fob, I'll just be using the door lock key which is no big problem. How can I disable the system though? Reading online...

Recently the keyless entry fob for my 2002 Explorer was stolen from my house and I'd like to disable the keyless entry on the truck altogether as soon as possible since I really don't mind just using the door key. How can I do this? I did a few searches here on this forum and haven't found...

My 2002 2WD Explorer wont engage when I put it in reverse (the other gears seem to operate as usual), so I have to find a reliable transmission shop that will give me a fair price and fix the problem too. Cost is definitely a factor. I live on the north shore of Massachusetts and am looking for...

Two days ago, I started to back out of a parking space in my 2002 Explorer 2WD and it would hardly move. The forward gears seemed to engage without any trouble once I got it clear of the parking space. I managed to add a couple of quarts of Mercon V transmission fluid today (Not an easy thing...

I've got a 2002 2WD Explorer with a 4.0 L SOHC V6 engine that has a very slow transmission fluid leak. I'd like to check the fluid level and top off the fluid if necessary. Have been trying to find a how-to thread on this forum using the search engine but haven't had any success finding one...

I've got a 2002 2WD Explorer and the left rear wheel developed a squeak recently. It usually starts squeaking a couple of minutes after I start moving. When I had bearing problems in the past on other vehicles, I usually jacked up one side and rotated the wheel to check for play or grinding...

I've got a 2002 Explorer with 4.0 liter engine and, while trying to replace the tensioner pulley of the serpentine belt today, I noticed that one of the radiator hoses (the one running from the bottom of the coolant reservoir to the lower right side of the radiator) had been laying up against...

I've had a problem with a squealing noise from my serpentine belt lately and want to replace the belt and tensioner on my 2002 Explorer (4 Liter engine) and have a few questions. First of all, I can't really get under the truck to get at the tensioner or belt (age and health issues), so I'll...

A little over a month ago, I put a new battery (a heavy duty one sold by Advance Auto) and starter in my 2002 Exp and all went well until a couple of days ago. I had just come back from a couple of local shopping runs and parked it in the driveway but, when I tried to start it a few minutes...

Hi, I've got a 2002 2 WD Explorer that's developed a shifting problem. Recently I've had trouble getting it to shift out of park and, up until this afternoon, I succeeded in getting into drive by playing with it by lifting and lowering the steering column and wiggling the shift lever. Today...

I've got a 2002 2WD Explorer that seems to have a transmission problem. The engine often seems to be racing when I'm driving and it sometimes hesitates when I put it in gear--doesn't move right away. QUESTIONS: 1.) I would like to check the transmission fluid but, since it doesn't have a dip...

I had my 2002 2WD jacked up in my garage a few days ago when the jack slipped off the frame and ruptured the brake line. I should have been more careful and bent over to make a visual check but my back problems have been a major issue for some years and, by the time I decided to lower the truck...

Yesterday I got into I'm my 2002 Explorer (RWD only) and, when I turned the key, nothing happened--no ignition, no dashboard meters or lights responded, nothing. When I checked the dome light and headlight, and they were not woking either. A friend volunteered to give me a jump start and it...

On several occasions in the past two years you guys on this forum have provided truly great advice on getting my Explorer fixed, including all the necessary info in replacing both rear spring assemblies, so I'm hoping to get the same kind of invaluable information and help here too. The front...

Can't seem to get my 02 X 6 cyl started. Replaced both rear strut/spring assemblies only to find car wouldn't start. Problem began when I finished strut installation; went to turn on ignition but had a series of click sounds just before ignition. Then all I got was the clicking without...

I've got an '02 X that just got two new spring/strut assemblies in the rear. With the help of a friend and a lot of great info from you guys, completed the job this week by working on it an hour or so every few days. Unfortunately, it now needs a new starter, which I picked up today at Advanced...

Hi folks, I'm a new member here. My '02 X got a rejection sticker because both rear coil springs are broken and my air bag light is on. Being retired and living alone, what that amounts to is sitting in my house until I get it fixed. To compound matters, my PC went down just before I had...
