Might be the wires in the door boot or the switch. I bought a cheap switch and it did the same thing after about a month so make sure to replace with a OEM switch (used if you can because mine was like $180).

Mine came on more and more frequently until it finally stayed on. Never did anything though.

I have been adding cheap outboard motor oil for years.

Changing my fuel filter gave me about 20% better MPG. (13-16). I get 20mpg on highway trips. Change your fuel filter. Not that bad to do it yourself either and only about $30.

I called 4 shops when I got mine done. Highest was $650, lowest was $550. Prices are after tax. Part is close to $300 and 2 hrs labor everywhere I called. You can lower the price by ~120-150 if you get a low quality bearing but I don't think that's worth it. Edit: prices in AB, CAD

It is your compass, indicates cardinal direction you are traveling. If it isn't working properly you can re-calibrate it.

Fuel filter can definitely be the problem, but likely would be over time rather than sudden. When I got my X it was using about 18L/100km, I changed plugs, cleaned everything, etc. Ended up at about 17.6. Changed my fuel filter and went to about 14L/100km. That is a gain of over 2MPG!

For me it was a faulty master switch.

When I changed my fuel filter I went from 12mpg to 15mpg mixed so I would give everyone the opposite advice.

I couldn't figure out how to get it out so I just laid on my back and shoved my hand up there, removed by feel. Getting them back in is much harder but after a few tries I got it. If you are just removing to test, I suggest pulling them up but not taking all the way out, that way you can just...

Unfortunately I do not have a solution for you, but I wanted to post because horn beeps after locking are my pet peeve. I don't know if everyone is OCD or incredibly uninformed and thinks you need to hear it beep but at least 90% of the time I see someone exit their car they click the thing...

Reprogrammed remote and it works again. Rear defrost still turning on and off. Should I check the passenger side boot next?

Just a quick update. Yesterday my remote lock/unlock stopped working. Not sure if that is somehow related or I just need a new battery. Anyways I removed the door panel and checked the wiring in the rubber boot as suggested. Sadly, after a thorough search I found no problems with any of the...

Sounds like the place to start. With the warmer weather it didn't do it yesterday, but I will pull it apart this weekend anyway.

Yes I do. Both the rear defrost and heated mirrors have worked perfectly until now.

Hi guys, I am having a new issue with my 2002 V8 Explorer. Yesterday and today I hear a click (sounds like a relay) and then my defrost turns on/off. It can happen every 5 minutes or 20 times in 1 minute. Super annoying! Would this be a fuse/relay that is semi-blown? Perhaps a wiring issue...

Premature wheel lockup caused by broken sway bar links? Probably not but so easy to check you may as well take a look.

I see no reason why anyone would purchase a V6.

Hope you have luck in your search. Maybe they are more common here in Canada but I see them on Kijiji (a site like Craigslist) all the time with this setup.

2003 and up 2003 and up have the shoulder belt. Take a look at the third pic on this page: http://www.precisionfit.com/catalog/Ford/Ford-Explorer/Explorer--4-Door-/2003?category_id=6168 Edit: I can confirm they are 40/20/40 as well. Additionally, I think from 2004 up they also had...

Thanks so much I think I will pick them up with weekend!

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 2002 Eddie Bauer explorer, but it came with some really loud mud tires. I found a set of 5 used tires on stock rims from a XLT. I know the sizes are different (235/70r16 vs 245/70r16) but wondered if I could still use them. The set of 5 stock rims...
