    WOT Surging

    Hello all, I am experiencing a WOT surging. I don't notice it any time other than WOT. At the suggestion of a similar thread, I checked all hose connections and it appeared okay. No codes, good power, just the slight surging at WOT. Suggestions?

    Door IA Handle not Operable

    2018 Explorer Platinum that has been without issue for 58K. Went to open the passenger door (which was locked) using the "grab method" and it did not work. I pulled out my fob and it unlocked as usual. Got my jacket out, shut the door and touched the square to lock the door. This did not...

    PTU, Trans and Oil Change Today

    The '18 Platinum Explorer has 57K on the clock and with all the reading here and elsewhere, since I was at 25% of oil life remaining, I thought it time to borrow a lift bay and do some things. First, I have to both congratulate and condemn the engineers that designed the under-hood packaging of...

    FordPass Connection Issue

    2018 Platinum, though I can still lock/unlock and remote-start, the listed date for updating mileage, oil life and tire pressure is now 4 days old (2/12/22) even though I have tried many times to "update" the data by swipping the app down on my iphone. Really weird if you ask me. I have...

    Wireless Charger Mod?

    Searched our database and still don't see anyone's creative success. Somebody has surely come up with a way to mount a wireless charger in our Explorers. Short of just plopping one of those discs down at the front of the console, we need a collective "think tank" approach to the challenge...

    Tire Rotation TPMS

    When rotating the tires on my '18 Platinum, do the pressure sensors relearn positions themselves or is a relearn required. If a relearn, what is the procedure? Thanks in advance.

    Checking Transmission Fluid

    Okay, went out to check fluids, search for leaks and just stare at my 2018 Platinum 3.5EB. I even removed the beauty cover just to take a look. All was great, with a small exception that 36K mileage has put some debris in places. I blow that out another day. To the point, I wanted to check...

    LED Turn Signals but Without Hyper-Flash

    I want to change the turn signal bulbs, front and rear on my '18 Explorer Platinum. I am afraid of the hyper-flash and wondering what others have done. Specific bulb? Add resistors? I have ordered these and will keep my fingers crossed. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082YVNH3Q/?tag=serious-20...

    Dark-Mode Work around?

    I am wanting to be able to have the exterior lights on my '18 Limited totally dark when I am just sitting with the engine running. I see where this is referred to as "dark mode" and seems to be paired with the PIU model. Is there a work-around to accomplish this? With all the computations...

    GDI Clarification on '18 Platinum

    Hello Explorer-Land I need some clarification on whether my '18 Platinum is just GDI or also PFI. My question is in regards to preventative maintenance for valve deposits. I currently feed the EX with 93 octane from a top-tier supplier. She runs better, more power and a couple MPG's as...

    Does anyone know the location for the sensor that dims the driver's and rear-view mirror? I am just curious since there is no visible photoelectric cell in the rear-view mirror that is visible. Thanks ahead Barry

    1st Mod on 2018 Platinum

    Hello everyone, New here, but a "forum" member for decades. Corvette Forum and Glock Forum are the two longest-running homes for me. Just wanted to say I am enjoying the '18 Platinum. Lots of premium appointments AND that wonderful Ecoboost powerplant. I am always looking to better any...
