    Sunroof motor connections

    Hi gang. I have a feeling I'm going about this the wrong way. The sunroof motor has 3 wires. Red in the middle and blue on one side and brown on the other. The motor is out and my thought was ; red=positive; blue=close; brown=open. (Or vice versa) I'm getting the impression that the switch comes...

    Where's the Air !

    Wellllll.the schmuck my wife bought the 97 explorer from, said the AC works you just have to --turn on hi-back to low, kick the dog, and she doesn't remember. If it's in the switches, can just the one be swapped? Or the whole panel ? Any way to bypass it as far as to trouble shoot? I've looked...

    OBD2 instuctions

    Could someone explain how to use the OBD2 in simple terms ? I'm not an idiot but is it necessary to read the 65 page manual and watch the disc ? I know I'm being lazy but jeeze! It's an OBD2 & CAN scan tool by AUTOLINK model AL519.

    Windshield washer pump

    I couldn't find the lame question category so I'll post here. My washers don't work. I checked fuses and swapped around the relays. Guessing it's the pump started looking for it.

    1997 XLT hatch sprung

    Hello all, My hatch has a gap at the top, about 2-3". Body shop said it looked like the wrong hinges or these were installed backwards and estimated $292 or less if the hinges didn't have to be replaced. After looking into the problem the left hinge [where it's mounted in the hatch] was rusted...
