battery

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport. I've had some past issues with loose battery terminals but none recently following a good tightening. This morning, the engine wouldn't turn over. The electronics were all functional, but there was no clicking sound. I would turn the key...and nothing. The...

I have a 2006 Ford Explorer 4.0 V6 XLT 2WD and it keeps losing power/shutting off, first the ABS light comes on then a few others then all the lights in the car start to dim and turn off , can't use the powers buttons to put window down or up or to open/lock doors. Replaced battery and it worked...

I am a new owner of a 2013 XSport. I traded in my 2010 Flex Ecoboost. The Flex did not allow a yellow top to be installed without some annoying modification (nor did it allow for an easy soundsystem upgrade). Does anyone know if I can drop a yellow top into the XSport without mod? I plan on...

I have a 2008 Explorer Eddie B 4x4. 117,000 miles. The sound feels like the starter engages and skips. The starter does not remain engaged. The truck starts and there are no codes. No other issues with the car except for a transmission thats going out. Resting battery voltage is 12.40 (a...

I'm new to the group, and was wondering if I could get some input on a question So, I've been reading a lot of the posts on here and I can't come to a definite answer. So I guess I'll ask for my particular situation. I have an 05 Explorer 4.0 V6 with 130 amp stock alt and stock Duralast Gold 65...

So, the other day when I went and grabbed some to-go Chinese Buffet, I came out and my 92 Explorer wouldn't start. Awesome. Didn't leave anything on that I saw, but I had left the windshield wiper switch turned on to like... medium speed. However, when the car is off, the windshield wipers...

Hello everyone, It's been a couple months since I've been on the forum, but my 2001 Sport finally decided not to start today, and I want to go through it's past misbehavior to try and solve my problem, and help others who may have the same problem. To start off, it's a clean Georgia 2001...

I have a 2013 Ford Explorer Sport and all entry points are electrically powered. With keyless entry, front doors don't even have a manual keyhole. My concern is that my family might be on a trip and after parking, the battery for whatever reason is dead. Since the all the vehicle entry...

Hello everybody. I have an 02 explorer with a 4.0. Recently while driving the battery light would come on and the battery gauge would drop while driving. If I charge up the battery it holds the charge until the vehicle is running. Then after about 30 minutes the gauge drops and the lights...

Background: I bought this vehicle which was a trade in at a dealership. It is a 1994 Explorer Limited 4x4, 4.0L with 100,000 Miles. The alternator looked brand new, the belts, were new, and the vehicle looked like it sat in a garage most of its life. No leaks, no warning lights, Interior looked...

Hello y'all. I have a 2010 Explorer. Just replaced the battery and alternator about two weeks ago. This morning on the way into work I had the AC on, phone charging and radio going. About half way to work all the interior lights (minus the radio) started to shut off every time pushed on the...

So, I posted before about my alternator bolts. I was able to remove the entire bracket, and get a buddy to drill and tap the 2 bolts I snapped off. I went to Lowes and found some replacement bolts (no auto parts store had anything) and I put everything back together. I have a new battery...

I have a 2000 explorer 4.0 OHV, my battery light came on last week, check the alternator and all signs pointed to my alternator. So went to the parts store, his machine was down so I bought the new part anyways (we just bought the truck) thought it wouldn't hurt. Well everything went well but...

Hey folks, looking for opinions on batteries that don't diminish as badly in the cold. Mine is performing poorly at low temps this year so I am going to replace it before it leaves me stranded. Also my air bag light is on during those cold mornings, which I hear is from low voltage. Point...

I have a 1996 Ford Explorer 4wd 6 cycl and its been dead for 3 months, due to the alternator. I put in a new alternator, went to advance auto and let them charge my battery overnight because it was completely dead. Anyhow after I picked up the battery and connected reconnected it to my truck...

Hey guys! This is my first post on this forum and I could really use some help. I bought a 2003 Explorer Sport, 4wd, Automatic shift, about 6 months ago. When I first bought it, I noticed that the headlights were flickering somewhat. If you just glanced at them, you wouldn't be able to tell it...

I have had this issue for the past year and cannot find a fix. The only way to get my 94 Explorer Sport to start is if I jump it off. I have a brand new 10 year battery from Costco, the alternator tested good, and I changed out the entire battery cables from the battery to the starter. The...

Hi. On an 03 Explorer, where is the best spot to run the power cable from the battery into the car for an amplifier? I can't find an obvious grommit to go through.

My 1992 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0 4wd has been non-stop frustration, and today there is an entirely new problem: NO ELECTRICAL. The battery is new and charged, but there is no electrical whatsoever: no dim lights, no clicking starter, nothing. What might be a logical problem (such as a main...

I have a 2012 Explorer. Last week I had to jump start the car few days in a row. I thought it was because of the cold weather. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the battery (New Battery), because they said it failed the load test. Just after 7 days car is not starting again, I have...

Hey guys, All of a sudden I'm getting a message on the dash screen that says "system off to save battery. Turn key off or start ignition". Never seen it before. So...I disconnected the negative battery cable to reboot the system. Made sure all power was drained from system, let it set for...

Okay, back in April the original alternator on my 03 explorer went out. I changed it out, no problem. About 5 weeks ago, battery light started going in and off but still ran fine. It ended up dying after about 2 weeks. Had the alternator checked and replaced. If I drive it short distances...

I have a 2006 XLT Explorer 4x4 4.0L I have been having trouble keeping the battery charged, and I am not sure if it is the battery or charging system. The battery is 2.5 years old. At first, it was slightly harder to start (an extra crank), so I thought it might be bad fuel. The battery...

I've searched and read the other posts about this but am still stumped. My newly replaced alternator is not charging my battery. I'm having to charge my battery every night until I resolve this. Here's a list of things I've done so far: 1994 Explorer XLT, 4.0 litre. Symptoms: Alternator...

:(This first happened in June of this year... went to start Ex and battery was completely drained. charged battery up and started fine.. used the truck for a few days with no issues but as soon as a day or two went by without driving it the battery was dead again. This went on for a few weeks...
