    Parasitic drain (fuse 25)

    I have a 97 Mountaineer 5.0. My battery was going dead after sitting for about a week so I disconnected the negative and charged the battery. Then I closed the latches on the door and hood and waited an hour. I was getting a draw of 450 ma. When I pulled fuse 25- the instrument cluster and GEM...

    Bypass hoses

    I have a 97 Mountaineer 5.0 and I need to replace my thermostat and gasket. I also wanted to replace the bypass hoses. When I search for them online, it only shows 1. It's hard to tell from the picture which hose it's showing, but it looks like the one that goes from the water pump to the...

    Blown A/C fuse

    I have a 97 Mountaineer 5.0. My son in law borrowed it last week. He noticed the a/c stopped working and the check gauge light was on and the temp gauge almost on H. I found the radiator leaking and replaced it yesterday. Now the a/c fuse keeps blowing. If I unplug the compressor it doesn't...

    Rough idle and long crank

    I have a 97 Mountaineer 5.0 with 210k miles. It has a slight rough idle but it runs great no hesitation or misfires, no check engine light. When it's warmed up, and I try to restart it, it cranks longer than normal. The coolant sensor is ok because my scanner reads 195 degrees when it's warmed...

    Battery drain

    I have a 97 Mountaineer 5.0 with a 6 month old Motorcraft battery. Recently the battery will die after it sits for about a week. I'm pretty sure it's the battery saver. Does anyone know if I can just cut the wire on the GEM (tan/yellow) that feeds the battery saver relay.

    Auto Lock Feature

    I have a 97 Mountaineer and the auto lock feature (the feature that locks all the doors when you press the brake pedal) has stopped working. I used the key pad to deactivate and activate it again but it still doesn't work, and all the doors are closed - no door ajar light on. Any ideas? Thanks

    Shifter bracket

    I have a 97 Mountaineer. I went under the dash to tighten the torx shifter bolts and 1 was tight and the other fell out along with a piece of thread from what it was attached to. Is it called a shift bracket?

    back firing

    I have a 98 Explorer 5.0 with 280,000 miles on it. It had a slight stumble at idle and began to miss during acceleration. I replaced the plugs with Motorcraft and the wires with Duralast as I did the last time I tuned it up. There is no improvement in the idle, the miss during acceleration is...

    tps testing

    I have a 2007 Explorer 4.0l and it has a wrench light that goes on and off several times a day. My scanner showed no codes, but it will intermittently jerk when I shift into drive or reverse and drivability issues. I want to test the tps voltage but I can't find the procedure for a 2007. Mine...
