    Fuel Pump compatability

    Does anyone know if all fuel pumps for a 96 Explorer are interchangeable? IE, will a pump from a 96 5.0 litre fit my 96 4.0 litre? Thank you in advance for your input.

    Starting Issues

    :can: Recently, I have had some trouble starting up, especially after running the A/C or heater for any length of time, or even opening the door for extended periods of time, but never long enough to drain the battery. It almost seems like the battery has been drained by the use of these two...

    Ball Joint Repair

    I was in to the local Ford dealer a couple of weeks ago to get my ABS codes read. (Turns out it was the right front hub assembly which I replaced about a year ago; so much for cheaping out on non-OEM parts). The dealer "advisor" told me that my upper and lower ball joints were almost shot and...

    '96 Explorer/'97 Ranger Interchangable?

    Does anyone know if any or all parts are interchangable between my '96 Explorer and a '97 Ranger. The Ranger at a local wrecker that has a few things that I could use (Door lock parts, sensors, etc.) The same wrecker has plenty of 91-94 Explorers (same question applies to these years). Thank...

    Battery Packs

    :can: Does anyone know anything about these? Lots of sales this time of year for units starting at 300a up to 800a (cold cranking), with the pricing as varied. If all I want to do with it is use it for an emergency boost, will 300a be enough? We go to the Rocky Mtns. somedays, and it can get...

    2 Lock Problems!

    Seasons Greetings, everyone!! :can: First, my drivers door lock won't open from the outside via key nor with the lock/unlock switches. Reviewing various posts on the issue led me to look for the small spring inside the latch. There it was, looking unattached at the top. I pulled on it a...

    Heat, No Heat!

    :can: My heater seems to have a mind of it's own lately. It usually heats up nicely after a few minutes, and I'm good to go. Sometimes it will just blow cold air. It's totally random, happening at night, morning, after I've driven a while with the heat on, stopped, shut the engine off, then...

    Dashboard Lights

    This is no major concern, but still annoying: The lights (or illumination) on my dashboard headlight switch, and also the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel no longer work. Short of ripping apart the steering wheel and dash, I'm at a loss as to how to fix this. Hopefully someone has...

    Help!!! No Headlights!!!

    :( I have been having problems with the headlights. First the running lights wouldn't shut off, when engine was turned off, and when on, would always be on high beam. A pulled fuse took care of that, until I could find out the real cause. The main lights still worked with the dashboard...

    ABS Light

    :can: My ABS light has been on for a while, and having had this issue before I checked the hubs once again, and all is well. What i now have is a kind of clicking noise when I apply the brakes (one click when applied, another when released), and when cornering the steering seems to shudder...

    idler pulley

    The idler has been squeeling for a week or so now, and finally seized up, and the bolt fell right out as I was driving. I was able to recover the bolt and idler pulley, and now have to look for new parts. Does anyone know if the pulley is sold separately from the entire assembly, and would it...

    Door Ajar Light

    This one is a pain. For a month, my door ajar light and all interior lights stay on when the doors are closed. The interior lights go off after a few seconds of driving yet the door ajar dashboard warning stays on.. When I turn off the ignition, the interior lights stay on for 30-45 minutes (...

    Wheel bearing/hub assembly

    My 96 recently started making a squeeling/grinding noise coming from the RH front wheel. I put it up on jacks and discovered some play in the tire. After pulling off the tire, and some wiggling around it looks as if the rotor/hub assembly or bearings are the problem. Are the bearings easy to...
