Went to start up the Ex today, and it would crank, but not fire. Chased the issue wit what seemed to be a blown fuse in the power distribution box for the fuel pump. Replaced it, and the new fuse was loose in the socket. Upon closer inspection, the original fuse was not blown. It seems the...

The headliner in my '96 XLT has seen better days, so I decided to pull it out and clean it up. Our subject, complete with coffee stain thanks to the P/O. Gosh, this interior does look naked without the headliner in! Making the headliner BLAAAAACK.

My 5L V8 XLT, the day I brought here home, right after a wash: ... Then noticed a broken taillight. /sigh It's got the funky green interior, which at first I wasn't sure about. It's grown on me, though. Other than the torn armrest, the only issues with the interior were a smoke smell, and...

My '96 V8 frequently takes two attempts to start. On the first attempt, it just cranks. It will start on the 2nd attempt, but, sometimes hesitantly. Before I start getting my hands dirty chasing this, any thoughts on possible causes? Paying the pic tax:

I can't get my CD changer module to eject (it doesn't even try (makes no noise)). When I hit the CD button on the stereo, the display says "NO DJ". I'm guessing that means it's jammed?

Hi. Some of you might remember my 96 Sport that met an unfortunate end: Well, I'm back, and I just picked up this cherry b***h! Oh, and the best part... :D And as a bonus, I don't have to change my username either!

Last week, during Snowpocalypse, I encountered some black ice, and The Green Monster decided it wanted to be friends with a tree. The hood, front bumper, front fender, most of the front left suspension assembly, steering rack, radiator, and one of my shiny new LED spot lights either got crushed...

... and the squdgy handling. I started noticing a "KLONK!" noise going over bumps, so, I crawled under the Green Monster this morning, and found this: Both front sway bar end links were completely shot, with one or more bushings missing entirely. ^ old v. new.

Right, so... I am in the process of p'dipping the body-color front grill on my 2nd gen, to cover up some scratches and dings on it. I'm a bit of a fan of Plastidip... I've used it both on my ford and on my 1986 BMW, and have always gotten great results. Step 1: Have something you want to...

No destruction, sorry, but i had to admit by moment of boneheadery. I just loaded up the X with a bunch of cardboard boxes and such to go to recycling, hit the lock button inside the hatch, and closed it. ..sept it didnt close properly. No biggie... unlock the drivers door (hatch key lock is...

Hi all! First time Ford owner here. Just picked up a '96 Sport: I mostly intend to keep it stock as a commuter & spare car, so for now, i'll be concentrating on fixing the the issues it has got. Project #1 -- Turn signals don't work. Well, the left one works sometimes. if you...

Hey all! As of a few hours ago, I am the proud owner of a not so shiny 1996 2 door Sport: 1996 Ford Explorer sport, 4.0L V6 Auto. Power windows (that don't work, yet...) and ice cold AC. I had a few "what the hell was I thinking" moments, but, overall I'm pretty pleased with myself. It...
