On Thursday, August 11, 2022 after a run to the beach and hardware store, my 2002 Sport Trac was parked at home and turned off for a couple of hours. Later on, I went to start the truck again. Upon turning the ignition key, some dashboard lights illuminated, but the starter did not engage. I...

I have a 2002 Sport Track 4x4 with a V6 engine. Periodically, while maneuvering in parking lots or other low speed situations, I feel a shudder in the steering wheel, and a drop in engine speed. Does anyone know what's failing here? Thanks, Lonnie

I just bought a 2002 Sport Trac a week or so ago. It doesn't have any recovery hooks at front or rear, and I want to have them. I was poking around on the Internet trying to see where the factory hooks were mounted, as I know they were at least an option in 2002. Is this the point where they...

The fog lights on my '97 XLT were inoperative when I bought the truck. After receiving some replacement parts from Rock Auto last week, I put time into getting them going, which I did. In testing them out, I noticed the fog lights switch off when the high beams are activated. That surprised...

I've got a 1997 XLT with the high-end sound system. It's the one with the multi-CD changer in the armrest area of the center console. It has a couple of problems. The CD changer skips between disks many times when you go over bumps. But, the big issue is the the Off/On/Volume knob barely...

I've been trying to understand exactly what I'm getting using the various 4x4 modes in my truck. It's an XLT with SOHC, 4.0L V6 with automatic transmission and 4.11 limited-slip rear axle. I assume the front differential is 4.11 too, but the open type. Maybe others have the same question(s) in...

My parking brake cable needs adjusting. I know the repair manual and the local Ford dealer say it can't be adjusted, but I'm hoping someone here has figured out a field modification that will help me out. Here's the deal. The parking brake shoes were just replaced by my local Ford dealer...

I have a '97 XLT 4x4 I bought recently. I love the vehicle, but I didn't do the under-the-truck inspection I should have done when I bought it. When I took it in to my local Ford dealer for service on another issue, they informed me of some damage to the passenger side protective cover and...

I'm a new member and actively looking for an Explorer to buy. I've been focusing on a full size, Gen I or Gen II Explorer, but see that the Sport model might satisfy my basic needs and criteria (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=365223) while allowing me to move up a few...

Yes, I'm another new member. After looking at 4x4's as diverse as the Land Rover Discovery to older (and newer) Broncos and Blazers, I've decided the smart fit for my purposes is the Explorer 4x4. It looks to be the most affordable and versatile, and I can do most needed work on it myself...
