2017

Hey all. New to the forum, I picked up a 2017 Sport back in December and have been loving it so far, but I noticed today (in the midst of summer) that my cooled seats don't seem to be working. When I turn them on, I hear the blower turn on, the controls are acting normally, but it just doesn't...

Hello all, i have a bad draw that will kill the battery overnight. I narrowed it down to the fuse block but the wiring side of it that is non repairable unless I buy a whole new harness. I unplugged PCM relay (big grey one) and the black one directly next to it. That seemed to keep the battery...

I have a 2017 XLT with the non Sony sound system. All of a sudden the front lower door speakers sound blown. The voice sound is good but any bass sound they rattle/fuss. It's only the front door lower speakers. All other speakers are good. I wonder if it's the speakers themselves or the radio...

I noticed over the last month or so a small amount of what looked like pretty clean oil under my 2017 Explorer Sport. I was also due for my regular oil change so took it into a new mechanic - highly recommended in the area. They called and stated they couldn't confirm where the leak was 100%...

I'm planning to upgrade my 4" sync 1 to an 8" sync 3. Ive put in an infotainment kit in before and it was very easy. the cost of them has sky rocketed, so id like to source the parts myself. I think I have the parts I need but my concern is programming. I dont want to program anything. most of...

I'm looking to retire from everyday use my wifes 206,000Mi, 2006 XLT. I would like to purchase a under 100,000 Mile 2014 to 2017 Explorer or maybe even a Edge. I'm just scared off by all the 3.5 timing chain and water pump & the 2.0 coolant intrusion problems and related expence. Some say these...

Good evening! Recently Purchased a 2017 Ford Explorer Base 3.5 NA with 125k miles. Looking to fix it up but getting stumped on the issue before just “throwing” parts at it. -Airbag Light on -TPMS malfunction -4wd malfunction service required -Black radio screen -HVAC heat stuck on - turns...

Can anyone familiar with my vehicle and engine please tell me where to look for my vacuum pump. Im looking all around and I am suspecting its is between the engine and firewall, but I can see it from any angle I try to look. Hopefully the pictures help. I have taken the heat shield and engine...

I have a '17 PIU w/ the 3.7 NA. When I got the car, it had codes for bad cats, bad O2 sensors, and an evap leak. So far, I've replaced the purge valve which fixed the evap leak, both downstream O2 sensors which fixed nothing, and both cats. When I did the cats, it turns out I accidentally bought...

Hey there! I have a 2017 Explorer Limited 3.5 N A non AWD. Horrible noise under load. Sounds like roaring or maybe grinding. No lost of power, no hard shifting and inly happens under load. Does not happen in neutral or park. I thought maybe it was the belt, mine was old. I put a brand new belt...

2017 ford explorer limited 3.5L V6 Just yesterday I had both my battery and alternator replaced and the battery light flashes charging system service. When I drive the battery light goes off and on, and the car never loses power. However I do notice my interior lights flicker a bit and when my...

Hello, as I have an Explorer Sport 3.5 Ecoboost, I began to wonder if parts for this model fit from other models such as XLT, Limited, etc. I would like to know if body parts (bodywork, mounts), chassis parts (springs, stabilizers, etc.) and parts fit engine (it is known that it is ecoboost...

So I recently got a 2017 Police Interceptor Utility, and I’m having a brake light issue. The normal tail lights work, but only the top brake light (above back window) works when I hit the brakes. I’m pretty sure the tail light is also supposed to illuminate but it doesn’t. So my question is...

Hey guys, A while back I had a 2015 PIU and successfully made a bunch of mods using an OBD connector and FORScan installed on my laptop. Including: AWD Display, RKE, Dark Car etc. I am buying a 2016 PIU now, which to my understanding is the next generation and after spending hours and hours on...

Let me get right to it: What do I need to look out for in shopping for an Explorer? What should I avoid? Common issues? I'm grateful for any feedback.. Backstory, if you're interested: I've always loved Explorers, had 1996 Eddie Bauer which was crap but still love them. I've noticed prices...

Hey Gang, First time poster here, I have a few questions if you guy's don't mind. I have looked and read and done searches but I cannot find what I am looking for. I know these have been answered in the past but i'll give it a shot, Please be kind.. I have a 2017 PIU (non Sync) No Sirius...

Hi everyone, this is my first post! Anyway, I bought a LED "Ford" emblem for the front grill of my 2017 Explorer Sport. The Ford wording lights up when power is supplied. I'm trying to wire the new emblem to my headlights so it will turn on when the headlights turn on. But I am having trouble...

Hi All, We all know there is much to be desired when it comes to buying or looking for custom items for our Explorers. I have a 07 Gen4 that I trying to customize. I am fairly new to this Forum and probably someone who has been here longer can send me links or direct me to someone. Where are...

I have a 2017 Ford Explorer Limited, running latest Sync 3 software. The GPS and Radio for AM and FM just stopped working one morning. None of the stations can be found, just static. Android auto works. I tried several master resets without any luck. This model has a stock fin antenna on the...

Just wanted to say hey! I’m new to the site and wanted to show what I’ve been doing to my 2017 Explorer XLT. I’ve made modifications to have it murdered out and I seriously love it! If you guys have any other mod suggestions please let me know!!!

First I want to thank everyone for looking at my post. I am new to ExplorerForum, but it has been very helpful already. I am a huge Ford fan, but my wife's 2017 Explorer Sport was in a wreck a couple of weeks ago and the damage seems oddly excessive. My wife was pulling into the parking...

Has anybody else had this issue? I noticed this today after I got the vehicle going again. My explorer's parking sensors made a very different beep than usual. And my door chime sound changed from the MY2015+ chime to the pre 2015 chime. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a 2017 Limited, with stock rims and tires. Tires are Hankook 255/50R20 105H. I would like to change to an aftermarket rim, black and chrome. Is it possible to keep my existing tires and just change out the wheels? Or do I need tires and rims? I'm really only interested in changing the...

Hey guys, would anyone happen to know if you can swap out exterior bits and pieces from the 2018 explorer to the 2017 ?

Hi guys, Long time since I've been on the forum but I'm back with a question: Does anybody happen to know the part number for the 2017 sport tail light assemblies? I really like the smoked look on the sport tail lights vs the XLT tail lights. I know there are ford part sites, yet none of...

Hi Guys, :) Thank you for all the usefull threads on this forum, i was reading you guys often but never create a user before. I was wondering if any of you had a clean not modded copy of your BCM and IPC modual save with Forscan? For this exact model: FORD EXPLORER XLT SYNC3 2017 (Canadian...

Hi, Can anyone tell me if this is normal? I bought my 2017 Explorer brand new about a year ago. The car is garaged both at home and at work. I live in Southern California so I don't have exposure to rain, snow, ice, etc. I typically walk to work so I have few miles on the car (about 7,500...

So, I custom ordered a Silver 2017 Platinum back in May and got a call yesterday that it was finally in. Went to the dealership today to pick it up and apparently it came in with a run in the paint on the bottom right of the liftgate. They attempted to buff it out (hoping it would be in the...

Well, the wife and I went looking at cars and came home with a Mustang GT and an Explorer. Go figure, she gets the 5.0! Just looking to learn more about this Explorer I bought and all of it's features. Won't modify it much as extra money goes into my motorcycle.

I have seem a few threads on Grille replacements but they seem to be on all 2011-2015 Explorers. Looking at photos they 2016 - 2017 look different. Does anyone know if this process is different between the years and if it is has anyone been able to find documentation on the removal process...

So the first mod on my new 2017 XLT was to install a front+rear dashcam. The installation was pretty straightforward, although the fuse box under the dash was just a nightmare, and I'm still feeling stiffness in my neck, back, and abdomen from bending under the dash to get to it! Anyway, the...

Greetings all, I was hoping that someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I have recently purchased a dash cam for my 2017 Explorer XLT and would like to hard wire it. I am not interested in using a fuse tap and would like to keep it simple and wire it in the pillar since it's...

Hello! (2017 Explorer XLT Sport Appearance Package with 202A Trying to replace all interior lights to LED white. Ordered some compatible bulbs at amazon and succeed replacing the front dome / map lights. Problem is 2nd row seat and cargo area dome lights. Online (for example: ) we are supposed...

I just bought a 2017 Ford Explorer that had everything i wanted except for TOWING. The dealer promised they could add it and said that it would take about 6 months for it to become available. I bought it with that assurance. Can anyone confirm that can be done - and if so, what they will...
