Possibility I guess. I suppose the safest thing to do is replace it.

I have a 2001 Sport Trac with a rebuilt motor (all new timing stuff). Also new 195 degree thermostat. Truck has been running great for 8-9 months. Temp Guage will sit almost directly in the center of the range after it heats up. But lately the guage now only goes 1/4 of the way up to center...

I did disconnect the alternator to check for any draw there and there was none. Battery is going back tomorrow. I charged the disconnected battery the other day and when I disconnected it, it showed 12.8 V. Dropped to 12.3 after 8 hrs.

OK, here's the latest. If I hook the battery up, in 2 days, it won't start the truck. Voltage is at 11.9-12.0. I re-hooked my ampmeter and charted the draw again and it is the same as before. I see 1.1 amp draw for about 4 seconds, then it drops to 200 ma for about 40 minutes, then it drops...

Well. Good news I think!! I replaced the battery saver relay and the interior light relay. They were cheap to my surprise. But still had the 200ma draw and it didn't go away. Then by chance I touched the interior light dimmer switch/wheel and the lights flickered . Then I discovered if i...

I don't have that feature but thanks for the info. Good stuff!

OK I think I'm making headway. Meter showing 200ma draw with everything off and door switch jumpered (truck thinks door is closed). I pulled fuse 26 and the draw dropped to 50ma. Fuse 26 controls "interior lamp relay and the Battery Saver Relay". Where are these located?

thanks!!! now i can go to work.

OK Great. Next question...I'm working on a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac...where is the door switch that turns the interior lights on and off? I must be brain dead....can't find it.

I see no other symptoms. Using my meter, I'm seeing about 200 ma of draw. Under the hood where the relays and some fuses are, if I pull the relay marked "main fuse panel", the draw drops to zero. I think I'm ready to go inside and start pulling fuses. Am i on the right track?

I have a 2001 Sport Trac that has a battery drain issue. New battery 11 months ago. If truck sits for just a few days, the battery is dead. When disconnecting the battery cables, I see a spark. I realize the PCM introduces a constant draw on the battery but I believe it is very minimal, how...

Hi there. I had a 2001 ST with a similar issue. I solved it quite easily. I went to a scrap yard with a similar year ST. I bought the ECU (computer box) AND the ignition lock cylinder AND the key from the junk truck. Installed them in mine and it started right up. Cost was $65. Seems the...

Hi everyone. Long story here but seems like a small problem I can't find. 2001 Sport Trac (built 12/2/2000) 4.0 SOHC. Engine is from a 2001 ST unknown build date. ECM and ignition cylinder from a 2003 ST unknown build date. Put engine in the truck and everything works great BUT...After the...

I need some help on my 2001 Sport Trac. Truck idles a little rough but at moderate to high rpms, it runs fine. Today it displayed 0102,0113,0131,0135 codes. I dont think it is misfiring. What can be the issue here? MAF, IAC, TPS ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Forgot to mention, I replaced the injectors on 4 and 5 also before this last CEL issue.

Morning all! Need some advise please. I replaced the 4.0 SOHC engine in my 2001 ST with a similar engine with about 60000 miles. All new timing stuff in it. Drove it for a couple months...no issue. Then it showed a 304,305 codes...misfires cyl 4, 5. I then replaced all 6 plugs, wires as...

I have the same issue. I like the LED idea. What lights did you use and how did you install them? Any help would be appreciated.

Success (sorta)!! I pulled the plugs and rolled it over. Driver side cam/chain etc turned with the crank. The PS did not move at all. Tore it completely down and pulled the jack shaft out it 2 pieces! Happy that I found the problem. Now, where the heck can I get one??

CORRECTION! I checked a little farther and the liquid is gasoline. Looks like raw fuel has been dumped into that whole side. Could this be an O2 sensor issue?

Hi all. I need some advise please. My 2001 ST (SOHC 4.0) quit running the other day. Codes are 301,302,303...misfires on #1, #2, #3. I surmised it was timing related so I started taking stuff off, preparing to pull the motor. (motor has 60,000 miles on it). When I got the intake manifold...

Right on! I agree 100% on the tensioners, etc. Not worth the hassle to save a couple $. Ditto on the oil pump. In my opinion, Big B___s to replace with motor in truck. Gotta go with the OEM stuff. Driving it now...happy again. Take care!

After reading your post, I read several similar experiences online. God, I hope I never have to do that. Will probably swap the whole thing out if it starts acting up.

I rebuilt this engine recently...all new timing components and a new oil pump. Maybe 500 miles on motor since. Brand new sensor. No noises whatsoever. LATEST......On a hunch, I removed the brand new oil psi switch and stuck in the old one and PRESTO! No more fluttering of the needle...

HELP! I've read several posts but I can't seem to come up with an answer/solution....My 2002 Sport Trac's oil "guage" is acting weird. After warming up, it will flicker up and down, bouncing around but ONLY AT IDLE IN GEAR. If i'm sitting at a red light and shift to neutral, the guage pops...

I just finished mine...on a 2002 Explorer Sport Trac. Pain in the butt . I was able to rotate the bolt and wiggle the UCA enough to get them out. My truck is a southern truck so I have been blessed with no rust issues. Same problem going back in. Gotta have skinny arms and tiny hands.
