    96 Explorer Seat Valve/Switch

    Where can I get replacement switches for the power seat pump/valve that operates the air bags in the seat? I bought some several years ago online for one of my other cars but have been unable to locate them again. My Ford dealer is no help. They just want to sell me a new car.

    Trailer Wiring Harness

    I've got a 1996 XLT and I'd like to pull a small utility trailer with it. I have a hole in the bumper for a ball, but no receiver hitch (don't need one for a small trailer). My question regards the wiring. There is a factory wiring harness under the bumper, with a round connector and a cap on...

    GOT PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING: COP SAYS BAD SPEEDOMETER DUE TO BAD CHIP

    Do you have a GPS? If not, find one of your friends who does and borrow it. Then check the speedometer against the GPS. I've found my GPS to be very accurate and use it to determine the accuracy of the speedometers of the motorcycles I work on (which can really vary wildly). If it checks...

    How to: Clean the MAF Sensor

    Cleaned that puppy on my 96 XLT with 90,000 miles on it a month ago. The hesitation and lack of power problems went away and I got 23 mpg on a recent 1800 mile trip up to Canada. Thanks for the info!

    Lumbar/Bolster Seat Switches (source?)

    After a bit of surfing, I found them at http://fordpartsnetwork.com for $22.99 each. Not bad, compared to the Ford stealership. Let's hope these ones last another 7 years...........

    Lumbar/Bolster Seat Switches (source?)

    The switches/valves on my 1996 XLT for the bolster and lumbar on the power seats are shot and need to be replaced. My local dealer wants $37.00 each for them. Does anybody know of a cheaper source for OEM Ford parts? The part number is: F67214C715AA Thanks--

    Cheap MP3 player?

    I have a portable MP3 player that is about the size of a pager. I also have one of those little dealybobs that looks like a cassette tape with a wire coming off it. I can plug the MP3 player into the adapter and stick the adapter in the cassette player. It works quite well. I have also seen...

    cant inspect my ex?

    Inspection? What inspection? Out here in Oregon we don't have no stinking inspections! The only place that requires DEQ testing is the Portland area. I think inspections are less about safety and more about generating revenue for the state and licened inspection stations.

    How do I remove a power lock motor

    It looks like I need to replace the power lock actuator/motor on the rear driver's side door (96 XLT). How does that sucker come off of there? There's a strange looking black screw type thing on the outside of the door and I can get it to turn with a pair of pliers, but it just turns. How do...

    FNG: How do I get the door panel off?

    Hello, I'm a new guy here and this is my first posting. I just picked up a 1996 XLT in nice shape. The previous owners babied it, at least according to the pile of receipts that came with it and I'm happy to make it a member of the family. I'm a motorcycle guy for the most part...
