Glad to hear you got your brake lights working. Do you have the part number for the BWD kit? It may help someone else if they are having the same problem.

I'm using Mobile 1 High Mileage in my 05 Explorer.

I just went through this with my Explorer. I had a humming noise when going around right hand bends. Found out I had two bad bearings on the left hand side.

I had a Aerostar that started making a chirping sound when the air conditioner was on. A few days later the compressor seized up.

Wish i could help. I had a Ford Taurus that would do that when the temperature was hot outside and the car was driven for a few hours or so. Shut the car off, come back a few minutes later and crank and no start. Wait about a half hour and the car would start and run like I never had a problem...

Went right on just like it's supposed to. :thumbsup: Now tomorrow I'll finish my brake job. Thanks swshawaii and Exproblems! The wife and I are making a unexpected trip trip from N.J. to Fla. and the front brakes were close to metal to metal.

It was definitely that the fit is to tight. I just brought the bracket, slides and pads onto the porch where i cold get a good look at what the problem was. The way the slides are made the pads were hitting them on the end. I wire brushed the bracket and pad ends and installed the pads from the...

Thanks for the reply! The caliper is not the problem. I cant get the pads to slide on the caliper bracket and on the stainless sides..

I'm replacing the front pads and rotors on my 2005 Explorer. I'm having trouble getting the new pads to slide in. Is there a trick to this? I was running out of daylight so I had to give up tonight. The pads look the same as the old ones. They did come with new stainless steel slides. Could the...

Did you try draining the power to the memory? The computer will store enough power to retain the memory for awhile. When I changed the plugs in my sons Ford Fusion it held the memory for over 3 hours. Even the radio held it's memory.

Like Number4 said; The ECM/PCM can be damaged.

Yes. Edit: I did the vacuum hose method on my old Taurus. I don't know if it really cleaned anything or not but it sure did smoke out the neighborhood.

When you jumped the battery did you at any time hook the cables up backwards?

The radio should have two hot wires. One is hot all the time for the radio memory. The second one is only hot when the key is on so the radio will play. Don' know why there is fuses in the unused blocks.

Hi Duranged84! For me; Any and all howto's are welcome. You could host your pics on Photo Bucket.

Great Post! Definitely answered all the questions I had about using the 4x4 on my Explorer. :)

Sounds like the cooling system may have a air pocket and needs bleeding.

The junk yard should have a cross reference book to look up what parts will interchange.

I just joined today and want to say Hi to everyone! :) I have been the proud owner of my 2005 Ford Explorer for more than a Year and a half. My other vehicles are a 1990 Chevy pick up and a 2009 Kawasaki 500.
