Hi All, I have a problem with my 2002 Explorer. Recently I had a mechanic repair a wiring harness that leads to the oil pressure switch because I kept getting erratic oil pressure = 0 and gage alarm would go off. They repaired some frayed wires in the harness and now the car runs...

I have a 2002 Explorer with about 78,000 miles. A couple of weeks ago, it was -2 deg F and when I drove off in the morning I heard a clicking sound coming from the 4x4 panel switch area. The transfer case tried to switch to 4x4 low without me pressing any buttons....not a good thing because it...

I want to power a backup camera mounted to my rear license plate. Not sure where to tap in to get constant 12 volts. Someone suggested license plate bulb, but I think that only works when you turn on the lights. I have a wi fi camera so don't need to run a wire from the camera to the...

Ok, I have and 2002 Eddie Bauer with 66,000 miles. It seems to be running great, but I get a lot of vibration lately and it seems that it doesn't handle very well. I brought it to my mechanic and he said ...no problem with the shocks because they aren't leaking. I would think that they are bad...

2002 Eddie Bauer. When I turn on the ac I get this clicking noise in the left rear area of the head liner. Any know what this could be? I'm not looking forward to tearing open the headliner to get at the problem.

I need to remove the steering column cover to get access to the loose wire that is causing my left rear directional and brake light to fail. How do you get this thing off? I see 2 holes for what appears to be torx screws, but it's difficult to see. Can't focus that close. The holes look round...

My left rear turn signal and brake light no longer work. I replaced the bulb and still doesn't work. Seems like it could be a broken wire. there is no voltage to the socket. Odd that it's one side only. Anyone know what could be wrong?

I've been using synthetic oil in my wife's Explorer since we bought it new. It is now 8 years old. Is it bad in general to switch to regular oil? Some people tell me that synthetic is a waist of money.

My 2002 Explorer has 42,000 miles on it. I started to get this growling and low speeds, and couldn't figure which side the noise was coming from. I noticed that at highway speeds, the noise is completely gone. Wouldn't a bad wheel bearing get louder at high speeds?

My 2002 eddie Bauer (42,000 miles) is making a humming noise while driving. I suspect it could be bad wheel bearings but when I turn to one side or the other to load the wheel, I cant get any noticeable difference in noise, to narrow down which side is bad. Could the noise be coming form some...

My 2002 Eddie Bauer has 34,000 miles on it. Very low mileage. I brought it to a transmission place and the changed the fluid and filter. No dirt in the fluid, but I did notice that it seems to shift smoother. I asked the guy about the dreaded transmission problems with this generation and he...

I have a 2002 Edie Bauer V8 with low miles, 33,000 miles. Yesterday I went to Costco to replace my tires with Michelins. The vehicle is notalby quieter now, but I notice that when I step on the gas, I get a hissing sound like almost like a vacuum actuator bleedoff or maybe a leak? Not sure...

I just picked up my 2002 Eddie Bauer. Has 33,000 original miles....wasn't driven much. I think that the tires are original which means that they have to go. I'm looking into Michelin Latitudes, or BF Goodrich Long T/A. Is there a better selection out there? I want fairly good traction for New...

Is there a good fix for the dreaded cracked liftgate other than replacement? I'm guessing that if you replace it , it will crack again becuase it is a poor design. Bonding it with some sort of epoxy may not look great, but I'm not willing to pay a lot to replace it and have it break again. i...

I have the opportunity to buy a 2002 Eddie Bauer with 42000 miles. I have been reading posts and reviews and it seems as though EVERYONE has transmission problems with this vehicle. Am I pretty much guaanteed that I will eventually need to get a new transmission if I buy this? Also, when the...

I'm about to purchase a 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer from a family member for a low price. Has 42,000 original miles. Anyone have any opinions on this vehicle? Consumer reports comments that the transmission could be problematic. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
