The individual driver and passenger lights that are controlled by the "lamp" switches in the overhead console are independent of the "courtesy" light that is also located in the overhead console. There are 3 separate bulbs under the clear cover. The "courtesy" light (front, passenger, cargo)...

When the green LED display on mine went out last year I put in a JVC double din touch screen DVD player. It is probably the best thing (other than the BFG AT's) that I have done to the truck. I also use an i-Phone(4s) and have an Apple i-Phone video cable leading to the glove box. I plug my...

Hi, Just installed a JVC AVX740 double DIN video head unit in my 98 XLT. Everything looks and works great. Since the stock 6 disc changer is no longer connected (or required) I think that it should go to make more room in the console. How difficult is it to remove? Thanks, RMH

I would make sure it's a Saleen built. Steve did sell the parts for a while and there are probably a few "homebuilts" out there. How many #1 or #2 Saleen Mustangs have hit the market? #3 was actually the first one...

I would guess that there are way more 5.0/302's out there that left the factory with a carb rather than EFI. Ford Racing sells new 5.0 short block crate motors: http://www.fordracingpartsdirect.com/category_s/22.htm Lots of circle track guys use these with a 650cfm Holley setup. Plus there...

Back in the old days when I was in highschool we used to colour them with felt pens...

Don't forget the lamp...it could just be burnt out.

Thanks Joe. I guess I will start hunting for a straight one... I do want to keep my factory running boards. My less tall women friends like them for climbing in and out. And what am I going to use to kick the snow off of the bottom of my shoes before I get in? I also find them useful when I...

I'm off to the pick and pull to find a straight one...maybe. The epoxy might still be in the cards. Joe, would I be wasting time and adhesive? Thanks guys!

Doing some general maintenance work today on the Ex and one of the things I have to do (still) is repair the rubber strip on the top side of one of the factory running boards. It has a bulge and has lifted up just under the rear door. Not a big bulge but it is still there. I had my epoxy in hand...

Mine broke as well. The fog light bouncing around in the lower valance gave it away... I removed the light housing that was being held in place by the wire harness and removed the piece of bracket that slides into the housing. I unbolted the other half of the bracket from the frame and then...

Do you mean the back seat light? On my 1998 XLT the front seat, back seat and cargo area lights all turn on at the same time, like when the doors are opened. My back seat light has a central lamp for general lighting as well as two lamps that can be turned on by backseat passengers via...

Check out Princess Auto for an OBDII reader. I got mine there for like $29.99. Much like you, when I bought my 1998 Explorer XLT just over 2 years ago I also had the CEL light up. I bought the reader and found out it was lean codes for both banks. The truck ran fine though and the good...

Hey Joe, The units I am looking at for my Ex have 112 different color selections to match the dash, most now also come with steering wheel interfaces as well. Back seat control is not a concern for me but I could see it being a problem for some, although the video units do have plugins for...

Mine has the same problem. I have looked into fixing it, but with the cost and hastle of doing it and I still have a 1998 stereo with cassette and CD. I have decided to get an aftermarket double DIN video deck with an LCD touchscreen. The one's I am looking at play DVD, CD, etc, have USB to...

My Mustang's 4 button remote matches with your numbers... but my Explorer's 3 button remote is: F8 DB-15K801-AA FCC ID-CWTWB1U212 CAN: 1788 102 353 Both work fine with the respective vehicle.

My Mustang had the same problem last year. The window stuck down. Being a convertible I was able to look down on the window easily and realised that the back part was sticking up more than the front part. I did my best to grab the top of the glass with my finger tips and wiggled it. I felt...

My engine is starting to make some noise. I think it is the chains rattling. I am going to have it checked out next week. What kind of price should I expect from a shop to do the repair?

What do the dealerships charge for new remotes? My Mustang's 4 button remote broke at the loop where the key ring attaches. It works fine but the key is no longer attached. I would also like to pick-up a spare 3 button for my Explorer. Thanks.

If you saw the tissue holder Ford put in my Mustang you would understand why I like the one in my Explorer :D

Co-Op in Forest Lawn has them in stock @ $1.58/each right now. I grabbed 10 boxes but they still have alot in stock.

My 98 XLT 4.0 SOHC was doing the same thing. I was going to check everything out but last spring it suddenly "fixed" itself one cold day. It lasted up until about a month ago and now it is doing the same thing again: when I stop, the voltage guage drops down low (still in the normal range...

My '98 XLT with premium has the all wonderfull display problem. The display does not work at all now. I have the 6 disc changer in the console and the in-dash CD/Cassette/AM/FM. I am trying to decide on fixing the display or installing a new double DIN Pioneer DVD/amp and speakers. Any ideas...

http://www.explorerforum.com/forums//archive/index.php/t-153948.html There are a few other threads on this subject. The main issue in doing this is the airbag...

I have ABS in both my right and left foot from years of SCCA road racing. After a while you get good at stopping... For the average street driver it is probably good. But I do hate that feeling when there is an event and I hit the brakes and it does its own thing. MOTC
