I haven't, kept doing research online and this seemed to fit my problem more closely, and seemed like an easier fix to try before i tackled something bigger. Whats involved with the Auxilary Heater Core? Coolant level looked fine last time i checked.

I posted on here a while back about mositure buildup inside my 06 EX. Still havent found the issue, but I expanded my internet investigation to any car with moisture issues, instead of just Explorers. A common issue seems to be plugging of the evaporator drain hoses. It's been suggested on...

Not sure if anyone else has had something like this happen: I was cleaning my car today and pulled some junk out from under my back seat. Among a few other items (winter gloves, umbrellas, etc.) i grabbed a magazine and noticed it had mold on it as i put it into the trash bag. I flipped up my...

Was goofing around on amazon, stumbled on the Omega Excalibur RS-130-DP remote start with the keyless bypass module for $99. Says it works with the factory key fob. Considering buying it, and trying to self install. Has anyone on here done either?

Pretty sure I'm having the same problem. Blower started blwoing full speed all the time about 5 weeks ago. I didn't drive my EX for 2-3 weeks, then after a few days of getting back in it, it stopped blowing completely. Has anyone else let it go to the point that the fan stops working? I'd like...

My mechanic diagnosed it as a leaking evaporator. $950 to fix, the majority on labor to remove and reinstall the entire dashboard. The part was only like 180. The problem went away and my AC worked great for a few weeks. Now my fan only blows at full blast and wont shut off. Probably another...

My AC stopped blowing cold air last week. I tried to tough it out, but its been in the 80s and 90s in Boston, and that was too much with leather seats. Dropped it off at a local mechanic who called me back and said my evaporator needs to be replaced. Said the whole dash needs to come off...

Robert - What did you end up doing with your EX? I have an 2006, AC stopped working, brought it in to my local guy and he told me my evaporator needs to be replaced. Said the dash needed to come off, probably 7 hours of labor, over $1000. Then he hinted that this may be the first of many...

Here's the follow up, 4 hours after locating the noise I went to drive home from work and my AC was only blowing hot air. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess these two things are realted.

I'm in the market for some 18" replacement rims for my 06. Mine have taken a beating from living in the city. Let me know if you sell for parts, I'll make an offer.

The past two days of driving I noticed a weird "venting" noise coming from the trunk of my Explorer while driving. I'd heard it before, usually when I first turned on the car. It sounds almost like a pressure release, the same noise that comes out of the AC vents in the front when you first turn...

I think it was around $850 for 8 plugs and six coil packs at my local dealership. I live in a city, so i don't really have the means of doing it myself, and between the issues others have shared with removing spark plugs, the price of coil packs ($80-90 each, i think), and the fact that I was...

How many miles? Mine did that for a few months, turns out it was a mis-fire. No codes or anything, just an occasional flashing light, every few weeks. Tried everything under the sun (injector cleaners, fuel treatments, air flow cleaners, computer reprograms, throttle body reprogram) Finally...

I'm guessing he pulled it all the way out so it "ratcheted" back in to place, the way you would use it on a childs seat, and it got stuck on the head rest. Depending on your model, if your headrests are adjustable, you should just be able to push in the clip and pull it out completely, let...

The sticker on the door of my EX says 32 PSI in each tire. Pretty sure that's lowe enough set off my TPMS. My Michellin Cross Terrains have a max of 43 PSI listed on the tire, so what should I be inflating to?

How many miles? I have an 06 V8 with a similar sensation. Went for a good 20k miles without any codes or flashing lights. Finally got a code for a misfire, bit the bullet and replaced all my plugs and half of my coil-on-plugs. Problem went away.

On the piece you boght, can you swap out the controls on the steering wheel? I've got Cruise Control on the left, Stereo on the right, and Thermostat controls on mine that I'd like to keep. Do the black areas snap out so you can put your controls into the new wheel? How much did that run you...

On each cross bar, on each side where the bar ties in to the roof rack, there should be circles that you can loosen and tighten. they almost look like theyre meant to have a string or rope passed through, but if you loosen both you should be able to slide each cross bar.

Anyone know where I can buy a new steering wheel? I've got an '06 EB, tan interior, and the tan color on the steering wheel is wearing away to the darker brown rubber underneath. If I can just replace to circle (leave the horn, airbag, audio controls on place, that would be great, but I'm not...

In my opnion, newer vehicle + less mileage = better deal. If your big hang up in appearance is the grille, and you know you can switch it out, i'd go with the '08. I've got an '06, and if you read a lot of the posts on the board, a lot of the '06s have problems because they were the first...

I'm having a very similar problem, except its pretty constant, doesn't go away after driving for a while, and there is no sign of in on my tachometer, just the sensation. The guy I take mine to orginally thought throttle body, reprogrammed it and the problem went away for a month. It recently...

Personally i like the Sirius Unit better. For the same monthly price and for a lot less than replacing an entire head unit, it can pause and rewind thru what you're listening to, you can browse channels by categories and see whats playing without changing the station your on and you can set-up...

I used the Vent Mount that came with mine to put it right in the center, below the radio. It's probably not the nicest looking spot, but its within reach of my right hand just like the rest of the controls, and keeps all the wires nicely contained. if you go to tssradio.com, they use to stock...

I cleaned mine a few weeks ago. Unfortuantely it didn't clear up my issue, but it only took about 15 minutes. For the $3.95 it costs to buy MAF Sensor Cleaner, it can't hurt. The piece is located right next to the Air Filter. Remove the two torx screws, detach the wiring, spray, let dry...

You're getting all your plugs and wires replaced for $250? I've been having mis-firing problems with my v8 over the past few months, and the dealership has been charging me a little over $100 to do 1 plug with coil and wires. Sounds like I'm getting ripped off...
