I'm hoping to find some help with part numbers for the headlight mounting hardware. The lower tab on my 2010 driver's headlight broke, and I am replacing the assembly so it doesn't shake anymore while driving. The issue is the lower mounting slot had a u shaped "nut" per se and a bolt - the...

Good evening, I have tried to search the forum but have not come up with specifics for this model that has been useful. Today, while leaving the store, the Liftgate/Glass Ajar message came up on the dash and I couldn't get it to clear - both the door and glass were closed, tried opening/closing...

Quick question....I have seen a few 4th gen models with different badging...some have the Explorer badge on the front doors; some have the V8 emblem on the front quarter panel. My 2010 doesn't, but the 3rd gens also skipped years (my 03 didn't, but the 04 and 02's had door badges IIRC). What...

Just picked up a 2010 Explorer with the 4.6l/4wd. There was a grinding initially in the front end and the dealership replaced both wheel bearings under state used car warranty requirements. I do now notice a whine/howl from the front end on acceleration...any thoughts? T-case? Any way to...

Greetings - I just bought a 2010 Eddie Bauer Explorer to replace my 2003 with impending timing chain issues. It appears quite sound except that the driver's door seems "hollow" and not that heavy on closing it....you can see the door skin buckle slightly. The garage took it apart and found it...

I need some advice as to where to go with this issue. I have searched the boards, and while a lot of posts have mention of the CEL code I'm getting, there is no systematic approach as to what I need to do next. The guys at the garage are baffled as well. The issue: on my '03 4.0 (155k) I...

My 03 4.0 (w/ 143k) started with a noticable engine noise on startup a month or two ago. It was after an oil change, and soon after startup (a second or two) the noise would go away. It was remaining longer, and I was growing more concerned. I initially paid it a little concern, and hunted...

I'm noticing a squeak fro the rear of my '03 Explorer on left turns as of the past week or two....not replicated on bumps, etc, only when driving (and not coasting) when turning left. Hard to isolate if it's the R or L side...any ideas? Struts/springs are less than a year old; could it be a...

Found I have a torn outer driver's side CV Boot...question comes is do I replace the boot or should I replace the axle? 130k on it. Bigger question...are there any detailed how-to's of HOW to remove the axle to repair it? I've searched the threads on here and found nothing....how intense of a...

Hello...I am having a problem with the front compass module behind the rearview mirror on my 2003 XLT. For some reason, it will no longer stay attached to the mounting tab and it continues to fall/dangle by the power connector. I really don't want to try and superglue it in place since I know...

Hi everyone, I posted this in another thread but had no replies....I have an '03 XLT and suddenly the driver's side door unlock switch stopped working. It won't unlock any doors, but it will lock without an issue. Keyfob works, driver's door unlocks fine with the fob or with any other switch...

I own a 2003 XLT 4X4. While I have always done my own oil changes and basic PM, I realize I need to learn how to perform a chassis lube. What will I need (equipment and grease-wise), where on the chassis gets lubed, what is the process and is it an every oil change proceess or less frequently...

I am at a loss trying to figure this out....when it is damp outside in my '03, if I put the heat on I get a pipe-tobacco smell from the ducts for a while. I don't smoke, and I can't track it down. All the controls work fine, no problems with the fan speeds (assuming no resistor problems, since...

I just picked up a nice '03 XLT to replace my '95 today, and the one thing the dealer could not find is the card with the keyless entry code. I know on the older models the code was printed on a decal in the drivers side rear compartment (beyond the washer reservoir, pretty far in). Anyone...
