thanks Sorry I haven't posted this sooner, was down with the flu. Got the tumbler and ignition switch in, still no start. Have replaced one of the relays, going to replace as many as I can afford this week. Will let you know how that goes. Appreciate all the help.

I did replace one of them. It was clicking when I tried to start it. The mechanic says its a bad ignition switch and tumbler. Replaced the tumbler, but am unable to locate the switch. Just hoping I don't have to take the steering wheel off. I really don't have the know how or tools for that...

OK, got a real problem. I can not locate the ignition switch in my 92 xlt. O'Reilly's says I have to take the steering wheel off. I am not talking about the tumbler, I replaced that this morning. I have no cel light and no fuel pump prime when trying to start. My mechanic says to replace...

Can you tell me how to check? Sorry not a mechanic, just play one with my explorer (lol) and not very well!

Ok here is the problem, I've been having trouble getting the 92 explorer to start. Last night after much work, we finally got the check engine light to come back on (I'm sure I have a wiring problem as well as what is to come) once we did and turned the key, the fuel pump did not engage. I did...

Did you get it running yet? I noticed you are having the same problems I did. This morning, my mechanic told me to double check my 2 15 amp fuses under the hood, and sure enough, the one that was bad was for the alternator. Give it a look.

Its running!!! Called my mechanic friend this morning. He told me to double check my fuses under the hood. So we pulled all the big ones, they were all fine. We pull the two 15 amp fuses at the top of the box, and sure enough, the one that was labeled for the light under the hood was blown...

further testing I will have to take it up tomorrow, the two guys working tonight don't know what they are doing. I can tell you driving it around (about 8 miles) my battery went completely down. So the "new' alternator is not working. Also in driving, I used the electric windows and my tach...

runs Yeah, it starts fine. Going to run it up to autozone to see if they have any ideas. Will check here when I get back.

back to the beginning Ok, got that fixed. My brother had the wires on the relay backwards, I switched them and now it runs fine. However, we are back to the voltmeter on the dash not reading in the middle, it's just left of the n. And the battery light is on. That is what started all of...

OK we ran all new battery cables, now there is no juice what so ever. So I need to know exactly what wires hook to the starter relay, and to which bolts they go. I think my brother forgot to label them and now I think that could be the problem. Thanks in advance.

not sure Not sure you can see it, we are inside the passanger front wheel well. There is a metal harness holding the 2 groups of wires. One is the positive battery cable, the other I am not sure what is in that group. I posted the pics on myspace. Here is the link...

battery It's dark out now, and I live in an apartment complex. Will get up early and take a pic, and figure out how to post it here. Thanks for all of your help so far Brooklyn. I really appreciate it.

battery I have traced the positive cable to a harness that I am not sure how to remove. It seems to be a metal harness. I need to get that off and I don't know how.

thanks! Thanks for the welcome. I am having problems finding where exactly the battery cables run to. I've taken the positive off the starter, but now I've run into a "harness" for lack of a better word, that has both the positive cable and some other group of wiring strapped together. It...

OK 92 explorer. I am trying to replace my battery cables (after getting a new alternator and battery) but I am having trouble finding out the exact path of both cables. If someone has a diagram or picture that would be great. I need to get this done tomorrow, as I start a new job monday...

Hi! Proud owner of a late 92 explorer with over 280000 (yeah that is the right number of zeros!) and just having a load of problems with it. Will be posting in 911 to get some help. I need to get this running right away. Single mom starting new job next week. Thanks for having me! Gigi
