I was able to get a better pitcure of a 99-01 fog light. It looks like there are two wires, just wrapped in a loom. Only difference I see now is that my explorer had a single harness (the two wires) that runs straight to the bulb in the housing and the 99-01 has one harness (about 4 inches...

I have a 98 Explorer XLT and I will be swaping out the bumper with a new one for a 99-01 Explorer. I'm switching to the 99-01 foglights as well. I noticed that the foglight bulbs are rather different. The 95-98 explorers use a 993 type bulb which has 2 wires going to the plug and the 99-01...

Trying to burn it off is about the only option I guess I have at the moment as the smoke looks like it's coming out of the vents in the underside of the cat instead of just off the metal shell. You think my cat. needs to be replaced? I'm not throwing any codes so I can only assume it's not...

1998 4.0 SOHC Exp 4X4 So I'd been having issues with the shifting after I bought this explorer several months back. I finally got around to ordering the Ford TSB, new solenoids, VB seperator plate with gaskets, Superior shift kit, and new filter with seal. After putting everything back...

I'm in the process of trying to fix my A/C woes and one of them is the blower motor...I assume. When I switch the A/C on nothing comes out of the front vents on any settings. However I can turn on the rear A/C controls on the center console and it'll blow just fine on all settings. Not cold...

I'm replacing my A/C compressor and drier on my 98 explorer SOHC. I ordered a "kit" online that came with everything including gaskets and oil. Just recieved it today and opened it up...and some things are a little confusing. First off I don't think I got the right A/C compressor. The first...

Crankshaft position sensor...find it and tap it with something. Sounds odd but it worked for me.

Fixed... I went to take everything apart today but before I did, I decided to unplug the camshaft position sensor and plug it back in as well as tap on the crankshaft sensor with a wrench as well. The engine started right up. idled pretty well and took it for a drive around the block. No...

So here's what I've tried: unplugged and tapped the camshaft position sensor. Don't know if it helped. And then I tried cranking the engine for 10 seconds while flooring the gas pedal. This had the greatest results. The engine would start but only for a second. It dies as soon as I let...

Thanks for the picture. I was under the impression is was located below the coil pack. Checking it will be easier than I expected. I think the CPS is my primary focus on this problem. Don't know how it could've gotten damaged but think I'll just replace it on a hunch and take it from there...

I do not have a DTC scanner yet so reading codes isn't possible. I'll check the TPS, IAC, and MAF connectors. Both the ECT and temp gauge sensors are new as I had to replace them and the entire thermostat housing a month ago, however, I did have a slight issue while reconnecting everyting...

I checked the plugs/wires firing order a week or so ago as I thought the previous owner had mixed them up causing the crap-tastic idle, but they were all correct and never removed during the install of the new gaskets. I'll try the starting fluid just for good measure though. I don't...

So I finally got around to installing the M0012 kit that I ordered to clear up my rough idling problems and now the engine won't crank up. I checked all the vacuum hoses and lines as well as the electrical connections and they all seem to be in their respective place. All the bolts on the...

So I just bought a 98 explorer 4.0 SOHC. Guy told me it just needed a tune up. That was far from the truth as I now have a fix it list longer than I wanted. One problem I have is the A/C. The controls don't light up at all and the knobs don't do anything. I've checked all the fuses and...
