Hello all, My 2006 XLT with 230k miles has a rotational noise up front which was first thought to be the very common wheel hub bearing. I ve replaced many of these between my fleet of '02-'06 Explorers and until now, the noise has always been cured by replacing one or both hubs. The repair...

I just replace the heater blend door actuator in my '06 XLT and noticed that the heater when directed to the vents was not quite as warm as I remembered it. I measured the air temp with a thermometer - both at the floor and air vents in the center console. There's a 12 deg difference. When...

Hello all, I thought I would share my recent experience with low blower speeds on my '02 Explorer XLT. I've noticed for quite some time that the first three blower speeds have seemed too low and have suspected the resistor module. Today I measured the resistances and did not find any open...
