    New 4x4 Module, but still no 4WD

    So after researching the forums on why my 4WD lights would not illuminate after pressing the dash buttons, I came to the conclusion like everyone else with a 2002 explorer that my 4x4 module needed to be replaced. After a few weeks of searching for one (intergalactic back order apparently) I was...

    Lateral link for 16" wheels??? Please help!

    Please help! I have an 02 explorer that had the rear right wheel bearing go. Turns out the bearing was locked in the knuckle, therefore needing to be replaced. Ford informed me I would need the "upgraded" knuckle and "tie-rod" for about $230.00 each. I figured I would grab the tie-rod...

    Controltrac will not disengage

    The other night, while driving at highway speeds in the rain, my 97 XLT must have slipped/hydroplaned. The controltrac system kicked in and put me in 4WD. Fine and dandy.But, isn't it supposed to disengage once slipping is not detected anymore??? I have tried, while in park, switching to 4high...

    Cigar lighter power off with key off

    How can I get my 97 XLT cigar lighter on the dash to only operate when the ignition is in the "on" or "acc" positions? Can i just power it from the +12v Acc wire that goes to the radio by tapping into that wire? I only use it to run my GPS and radar detector. It's a pain to have to unplug it...

    Looking for 95-01 Black projectors

    I had a set of the black dual halo projectors on my last explorer that i sold to my sister-in-law, thinking that she would be grateful enough that i helped her out when she was in a bind, that if i asked for them in exchange for regular headlights, she would give them back. Boy was I wrong...

    Removing a rear door latch from inside?

    Hey all, I have a 96 XLT, and the rear passengers door will not open by either handle. I noticed that the lock does not go as high when unlocked as the other rear door. I took the inside panel off and tried every possible way to open release the latch, but no such luck. My question is, is...

    96 XLT No 4WD or O/D when cold???

    Okay, bear with me here as I am new to 4WD vehicles. So, when I went to buy my XLT, it was snowing. The dealer and I went out and started the truck. He cleared the snow off and after about 10 minutes of running, we were on our way. The truck was in 4 Low, so, even as naive as i was, i asked...

    Need help with map light sockets

    Is there any way I can get just the bulb sockets for the map lights? I called ford and they want me to order the whole assembly for $74. If that's the case, I'll figure a way to wire my own lighting.
