    Now the brakes

    Got the coolant leak fixed and it runs lovely now. However, it doesn't stop. Took it out for its first spin after the repair. When I stepped on the brakes, the pedal fell through to the firewall. I have a tiny bit of break power left over. Just enough to limp back home with it. It leaks...

    Mystery leak (brutal)

    A belated Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. My engine (94) is leaking. The water runs out just as I pour it into the radiator. Hoped first it'd be the water pump (thanks for the info on the fan clutch - it fits). But the problem is still there. Water is pouring out of the engine. When you...

    Fan Clutch Blues

    Buenas, I have an issue with finding the right fan clutch for my 4.0 automatic Navajo. When I look up the part at Rockauto, they have different models, one as "reverse", the other without any note attached. How do I know which is the right one? Water pump has right hand thread. Any...

    Where is the ping?

    My Navajo developed a new phenomenon the last couple of days. Whenever I turn on the headlights while driving, the reminder ping goes of. Curiously it doesn't do that when it is supposed to do it (key off, headlights on). I don't drive often when it is dark, but that thing drives me nuts...

    Fuel Line Blues

    I'm still stuck with the lovemaking fuel line on the pump. I can do whatever I want, I don't get that sucker out. That plastic tool squeezes in, but the connector still doesn't budge. If I try to hammer the line out, all that happens is that the tool pops out again. Does anyone have a...

    Change fuel filter - workflow?

    Gonna change the fuel filter before I put in the new pump. What is the easiest way to do it? Unscrew the cage first, then take of the fuel lines or take out the lines, then unscrew the cage? Blast them Ford engineers! The way they built this truck is a PITA to fix. ...and I have been...

    Open up headlights?

    My light output is pretty dismal. However, it is not coming from a dull lens (the usual result from UV on clear plastic), but I have water condensation inside that won't get out, even though the truck stands in the tropical sun day and night. Cut them buggers apart, clean the lens then put it...

    Code 556 & 543

    Engine died while driving. Scanner shows following codes: 556 & 543 Relay is tested and works (putting your finger on it while turning on ignition). The spool has about 80 Ohms. Pump ain't working. 556: fuel pump relay primary circuit failure 543: fuel pump secondary failure battery to...

    Solved '94 aftermarket radio

    I finally got my radio in. Was easier than I thought. Disclaimer: I'm not much a fan of entertainment systems in a car, so I got a 40 dollar radio from Amazon and threw out the amp in the back. This solution uses the original speakers and harness, and there is no need to rip out any door panels...

    How to remove Glove Box?

    I finally found the time to get the side panel out to reach to the amp for the radio. However, my plan to simply get rid of the amp and solder in and out together didn't work for some reason, so I'll pull the lines from the radio directly to the speaker harness. As I'm gonna use the original...

    Special Tools from the dealership?

    When I checked the pathetic excuse for a local dealership for the ABS bleeding tool today, it came to me: I did an apprenticeship with a VW dealer in the late 80's to be a parts man afterwards. During that time, my task was to downsize our stock (and budget myself out of a job). There was a...

    rear Wiperarm?

    As the rear wiper is working, but the connector to the wiper blade rusted of, I'm looking for replacement. Rockauto gives me the choice between 3/4 qnd 1". What's the difference? How do I get that bleeding wiper arm off?

    A4LD from Aerostar in EX?

    I got a 95 Aerostar 3.0 2WD that has a disassembled tranny lying around in the cargo space. No-one knows what was wrong with it and why it was taken apart. Looks pretty complete though. Would this transmission fit into my 94 Navajo 4WD without too many changes? Can you order a new bell...

    Going to the butcher.

    I have a 95 Aerostar 3.0 that is going to the butcher soon. It is pretty much complete (sans tranny). If anybody is interested in parts, please contact me over PM. Please be aware that I live in the middle of the Pacific, so I can only send smaller parts - no doors or engine block ;).

    Liftgate bracket?

    I'm in the need of a liftgate bracket (the one mounted to the liftgate) for the strut. LMC is asking 110 bucks for that piece (#50-9551). :eek: Is there any other source for that part? Local JY doesn't have any.

    How to open the lift gate?

    The glass door is opening. However, I can't for the ... (insert your own curse word here) open the "big" lift gate. Weirdly, it worked until yesterday. Is there a way to open it from the inside without breaking anything? Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Bleeding brakes - what's the issue?

    I have enough air in my brake system to fill a scuba tank. While I don't have an issue with bleeding the brakes, I wonder what is the magic with ABS. I have searched this forum, but couldn't get a real clear answer on what has to be done with the ABS side. Any directing to the right direction...

    Gonna hang around here

    Hi there, Just bought myself a 94 Navajo with <cough> some rust and screwed-on sun roof. Engine runs well, shifter works, FWD engages. Gonna pick it up tomorrow in the morning and most likely will start shooting out a lot of questions afterwards. I'm not new to Ford, having had plenty of...
