    96 Explorer Sport: Driver side door lock jam- on and off

    Can you remove the panel with the door jammed shut? How? Where do you grip the panel and with what? The panel's edges seem to be partly under the parts around the door.

    Jammed door lock prevents opening the door

    Heollo Nameskreen, "There are clips around the edge of the door panel You just pull on the door panel to get it off. The problem is, you can't get the door panel off with the door closed. VERY TRUE! If I remember correctly, I pulled it as far as I could and reached down from the top and...

    96 Explorer Sport: Driver side door lock jam- on and off

    My 1999 Explorer's rear door lock jammed so hard that a body shop repairman could not get it open. He removed the outside bottom front window weather strip, but could not even get a 'jimmy' to pull the lock loose. He suggested removing the inside door covering. I got the part that contains the...

I listen to books on CDs. I have 2 identical MACH radios and have changed their faces, Thy both respond...

    clicking cd player

    It doesn't eject every time. After a day or 2 delay it will accept a CD. So it takes about a week to hear 6 CDs. It's somehow time dependent and doesn't seem to depend on the temperature. What else in the computer be controlling or interfering with CD controls? CD, radio, Mach, computer...

    How to: 2nd Gen Blend Door Quick Fix

    The air flow from my 1999 SOHC V6 heater and cooling system is very weak. Assuming the blower is OK means the ducts are clogged. I've already removed the leaves from under the grill in front of the wind shield wipers. Does anyone know how to clear all of the ducts the air must flow through.

    What I learned fixing my Audiophile/CD6 Changer

    Correction: My XL2F-18C868-CA ( made in USA) Mach radio CD player jams about every 8 years. I put in a XL2F-18C868-BB (mad in Mexico) from a similar junked explorer. It too grinds and would not play after 8 years. So now I have 2 working radios but both of their CD players only make a grinding...

    EGR ---Bad? Good?

    Replacing the EGR was a waste. There was an intermittent pinhole in the cylinder 1 spark plug wire. With the new wire the engine ran much better and that eliminated what had seemed to me to be a clicking for the last 7 years coming from one of the timing chains. Then replacing the intake...

    Unsolvable Explorer Rough Idle. Any OBD II experts?

    Hi 2000StreetRod, Here is the question. The plenum, where the air goes, control dial goes clockwise from MAX A/C at 7 on up to OFF. Then from 'upper and lower' air at 11 on down to defrost at 5. Two mechanics have shown me that my engine idle speed oscillates when ever the pointer points to...

    EGR ---Bad? Good?

    The California Smog technician said I didn't pass the function test event though I passed the pollution test better than 85% of California cars. He said the function test failed because of a faulty EGR valve. I'm getting a new one. My D900 OBD ll read misfire on cylinder 1. Each time I pulled a...

    How to: Adding Window Sensors

    Could someone start a post asking members to ask Ford to start putting in window sensors tied to the alarm system. The easiest way for a burglar to steal inside a car is to smash the window since the windows are now designed to fall apart in a collision. Unless the burglar takes enough stuff...

    Alarm, when, how long, smashed side window thief

    My passenger window was smashed and many items were stolen. Is the alarm supposed to sound for smashed side windows and how long should it stay on??? Otherwise my alarm goes off for me at strange times when I do some unexpected things occasionally and that's annoying. Another junkyard...

    How to: Fuel Pump Access Door

    Cutting thru the floor wouldn't work for my '99. I replaced the pump and filter but not the sender by lowering the tank just enough to get the pump and filter out by feel since I couldn't see in that tight space.

    acts like the fuel pump, must be the fuel pump, right?

    I replaced my fuel pump twice. Both pumps cost about $100, first one from Auto zone that failed, second one from O'Reilly. The first one lasted one year. The second has gone about 3 years now. I didn't even drain the almost full tank the second time. Just Houdinied it in. You should know that...
