My Ex is a 2000 Limited. I connected a device to the cigarette lighter adapter that is on the console on the passenger side (that is next to the radio) and it apparently blew a fuse. I checked the fuse box I could not find a blown fuse. Is there another fuse location for this plug?

I've always purchased V6 cars thinking they are more fuel economical than their V8 counterparts. I am looking to replace my V6 2000 Ex Limited and in looking around I've seen a few articles that show a similar fuel consumption between a V6 Ex and a V8 Ex. For example a 2007 V6 is listed with...

It is time to start looking for a replacement for my 2000 Ex Limited. I was looking at the 4th Generation, particularly the 2006 model mainly because of price. However, I read on some articles online that the 2006 models are not the most reliable; leaking coolant, transmission problems, and...

I did not want to threadjack the 'Engine underheating?' thread, so I am posting a new one. I just noticed the same problem listed on the other thread with my ’00 Limited. The heater is just blowing luke warm air. The heater used to blow really hot air to the point that placing my hand near...

While working on the Ex (2000 Limited 4.0 OHC) to replace the lower thermostat housing, when I removed the Air Duct from the Throttle Body (TB) I noticed a good amount of oil gunk in the TB. When I removed the hoses from the air duct I noticed a little bit of oil on the hose that connects to the...

P0136 Code and O2 Sensor 2 Bank 1 voltage (with Chart) Advice is what you ask for when you know the answer but wish you didn't. So...I ask.... :rolleyes: I got a Code PO136 today on my 2000 Explorer V6 SOHC, 180K, which my Actron CP9580 points out to be the Oxygen Sensor 2 Bank 1...

The following write up is for informational purposes only. This is just an account of what I did while troubleshooting an overheating anomaly (see thread here) on my 2000 Explorer Limited. As part of my T/S I removed the thermostat and took some notes and pictures along the way. I was not sure...

Erratic/Cyclic RPM idle and Overheating problem About a week ago I started noticing the Ex idling erratically, with the RPM’s going back and forth or cycling between normal idle of about 600 RPM to about 1200 RPM every 3 to 6 seconds, sometimes a few more seconds longer in between. This...

I did my forum search for shocks and read through the Reflex in the front(?), Sensa-Trac in the back(?). However, when I visited the Monroe website they recommend a Load Adjusting Sensa-Trac shock in the back if you carry extra weight and/or tow a trailer. I searched the forum for 'Load...

After searching the forum for possible solutions to a cruise control problem I got to a thread that was talking about a throttle cable. With disbelief (I always think things cannot be fixed that easy) I got under the hood looking for the cable and to check the vac lines as well as it was...
