    Washer Fluid Suddenly Not Working

    So my washer fluid had been low, but it was coming out a little bit at a time, it finally ran completely out. The pump was working until 2 hours ago when it ran out, I stopped and picked up some fluid, filled it all the way up until it said "Washer Fluid Ok" on the system check. Then I push on...

    '97 Ford Explorer V8 Front Diff Popping

    Okay, so I posted a thread before this asking about a creaking sound coming from front left wheel well, now the creaking sound has stopped, but a popping noise has started. This popping only occurs when I accelerate too quickly (over 5 mph) from a complete stop. I am attaching a YouTube video of...

    '97 Ford Explorer AWFUL Creaking Sound After Tire Replacement

    Well it's a '97 Explorer, I don't have any service records from the previous owner stating a replacement of the shocks, suspension, ball joints or bushings, so I'm guessing they are as old as the car itself. I took it back to Firestone the next day and they said the noise went away once they...

    '97 Ford Explorer AWFUL Creaking Sound After Tire Replacement

    So I took it back into Firestone the next day and one of their mechanics drove it around the block, he told me he heard the noise it was making when it drove, but when they lifted it again and spun the wheels the noise went away. He said it was safe to drive, so I did, I drove on the highway...

    '97 Ford Explorer AWFUL Creaking Sound After Tire Replacement

    Hello, I just had all 4 tires replaced, aligned and balanced at Firestone. They charged me $860 and when I drove off the lot everything was fine, until I made it to the highway and then a very loud creaking sound started coming from my front left wheel well when I accelerate or decelerate. I...

    1997 Explorer Heat Suddenly Stopped Working

    I ran the vacuum test and the valve arm is moving correctly, as well as the vacuum pressure, both hoses are moving hot water. The only thing it could be is the blend door actuator right? I located it, you’ll see it in the photos, I just can’t remove the glove compartment without removing the...

    1997 Explorer Heat Suddenly Stopped Working

    I have another question, my glove compartment is equipped with two siren switches as it used to be a fire rescue vehicle, so if it does come to replacing the door blend motor which is behind my glove compartment, how would I remove it without damaging the switches/how do I disconnect the...

    1997 Explorer Heat Suddenly Stopped Working

    I had the vacuum looked at by a mechanic and he said all was fine there, as well as both hoses flowing hot water. He said it was something inside the dashboard and I did some research and found that can be a very expensive repair. I would rather save money on labor costs. What are the possible...

    1997 Explorer Heat Suddenly Stopped Working

    Both of the hoses are hot, I’m thinking it is the blend door. I looked and it’s in my glove compartment, the thing is my specific car was a fire rescue vehicle, so there are two siren switches in the glove compartment, how would I go about removing the compartment without damaging those switches?

    1997 Explorer Heat Suddenly Stopped Working

Recently, the power steering went out and the auto shop repaired the pump, pulley, pressure line, fluid and freight parts. When I...
