    Fluctuating and low voltages... BMS faulty?

    So, for the past 4 years, I've had my radar detector in voltage mode (displays voltage). The past few months, I've noticed the voltage dip abnormally low while driving the car--as low as 11.9V. It also, on occasion, had been fluctuating wildly every few seconds. The battery was changed less...

    How to: Seat heating pad failure and replacement.

    So it's winter and when the heated seat doesn't work, themishmosh isn't a happy boy. The driver's seat was not heating but the passenger seat was fine...a good sign, I thought to myself. The cooling/ventilation was working. I pull codes using Forscan Lite and get Code B1208 - Driver Seat Cushion...

    Front axle shaft replacement

    So at 65,000 miles, my right axle shaft started spitting grease everwhere on my MY2020. Honestly, it's been so well reported that I'm surprised mine made it that far. This is normally covered under your Powertrain warranty but mine expired and I do not have any extended coverage. You can...

    PIU vs ST ride quality

    Has anyone ridden in both? PIUs may have 18" wheels/tires but I have often heard the shock/struts are stiffer. Is this true? With no Bilstein option, am considering PIU shock/struts as my ST has 64k miles and lowered on Steeda springs.

    Budget B&O front door upgrade

    After having installed a subwoofer to the B&O system, I thought I was satisfied. The B&O is pleasant enough IMO for an OE system provided you do not listen to music that loud--by that I mean, not turning the volume past 8 or 9. I did not want to go full-on custom so was looking for ways to...

    Helping people out of snow?

    Just curious if anyone has tried pulling other cars out of a snow bank on the side of the road with their Explorers. Is it even worth attempting or is that best left for the 4x4s?

    Calling all MY2021 MY2022 Explorer ST, Platinum, King Ranch and Aviators: rear subframe poll

    A problem has come up with MY2021 STs and quite possibly all the 3.0L Ecoboost variants where Ford has chosen to substitute the 2.3L rear subframe (ie. One Bolt) for the 3.0L rear subframe (Two Bolt) that is supposed to be there. Please respond with what you have. I believe the change was...

    forward automatic emergency braking

    So i have the car set up forward collision avoidance emergency braking. However, every time the collision warning has gone off, i dont feel any added braking is being applied. This is in stark contrast to when I'm backing up and receive a sudden jolt from the emergency braking. What are your...

    Uniden R7 radar detector installed

    So even when I try really hard, I seem to get stopped for speeding quite a bit. After they look up my driving record over the past decade and see how sporty my Explorer ST is, I know that I am pretty much getting a ticket. However, I have had two speeding tickets in recent history where I was...

    Issues at initial delivery

    Here's what I've found on mine so far. 1) passenger side, rear door exterior b-pillar (black shiny trim) bowed out (as mentioned in my other thread) and rubber window trim torn. May or may not be related to a rear passenger side broken window that was replaced before the dealer took...

    No GPS icon displayed

    Navigation previously working but this morning with "no gps" icon displayed and car's position reported incorrectly. Oddly, carplay uses the car's GPS and NOT my iphone's GPS so the stock navigation, google maps and WAZE were all reading position incorrectly. This is a new discovery so will...

    Front license plate bracket delete

    So my Explorer was a dealer order and had the front license plate bracket option which means a factory install. The good news is that there are 3 relatively small 1/4" holes that are drilled clean. You really don't need to drill a larger hole for a large bumper plug. I bought these hole plugs...

    Iconic silver ST

    So I only waited 2 weeks for my iconic Silver ST mainly because I saw that the dealer was receiving one with moonroof, tech package and street performance pkg that I would have ordered--so I jumped on it. Paid $100 over dealer's invoice which I thought was a good deal since this was one of the...

    2020 Explorer accessories/parts?

    Anyone know a good place? Looking for OE or aftermarket crossbars, bumper protectors, mud flaps, etc. without the hassle and cost of dealing with my local dealer.

    Pricing for pre-orders

    While I understand that some are entitled to Ford-special pricing or special relationships with the dealership netting discounts, what are others paying for ordering on the new 2020? MSRP?
