dash

I am new here. I bought my wife a 2015 Ford Explorer Limited about 3 months ago. Already I have had the water pump replaced. I replaced the belt tensioner and serpentine belt. I am soon to replace the engine mount to end a vibration that the Explorer produces. I will also replace the tire...

Like some others, we have had an annoying occasional dash rattle. From the drivers seat it sounded like it was coming from the passenger side, but from the passenger seat it sounded like it was coming from the driver's side. I finally found the source. Next to the accelerator pedal there is a...

So I've had some issues with battery drain (intermittently) went out to use truck (stays parked a lot) dead, had started 2 weeks prior after being parked for a month, tried a noco booster pack, it kept faulting and shutting off (no battery present) removed gnd from battery and tried again -...

I just bought this ‘95 explorer and my dashboard lights along with the Middle consel lights (4WD, AC settings, rear wiper etc) I have replaced the fuses (I think #3 and #7). Interestingly the dimmer witch doesn’t work at all except the very last “click” which does activate the dome light but...

Hello After being parked outside for a week I got into my 2011 Explorer and it started up with no issue but the entire dash was dark, instrument cluster and sync screen. The climate control panel is unlit and other than the fan running there is not indication of life. I drove the vehicle...

Hello, I have a 2010 ford explorer 4.0. the tcs and abs warning light are not working for a while. Now i dont know if the tcs is actually working or not. My thoughts are i will have to swap the instrument cluster but m not confirmed if the bulbs for the warning lights are blown. I tried to open...

Hello, I've been stalking these forums for quite a bit, but am just now posting my first question... Has anyone installed the Car Navi Player head unit/dash kit on their FPIU? I have a 2015 and it is supposed to be plug and play, but I am curious how long it took anyone and how good the...

Hello everyone. I have a 2014 I am getting ready to install a new dash cluster. Looking for info on setting mileage on new one. Is that something that I can do in forscan ? Thanks for your response in advance.

Howdy! I have a 2000 explorer sport (which is back on the road thanks to this forum!) that I'm trying to sort out. Whenever the car is on, the dash beeps as if something is not right, although there is no seat belt or air bag light on. I looked under the seat, and found a wire that had been cut...

Hello everyone, My name's Joe and I've recently become the new lease holder of a new 2018 Platinum Explorer. I got an interior detail and the guys used some sort of conditioner on the MATTE FINISH. Now it's this cheesy looking finish that I hate. Where in here would you recommend I post? They...

hello everyone. I’m working on a friends explorer and I am having difficulty diagnosing a no turn signal problem. We have running lights, but no turn signals lights, and no low mount brake lights. The top mount brake light works. All bulbs are brand new. And the indicator lights on the...

It took me about ten to fifteen hours to figure these two things out on my own, since there isn’t a ton of info out there yet about undoing police modifications (whereas on a car like the CVPI so many have been purchased after decommissioning that info is relatively easy to find). I hope this...

Hello, I've been reading through the forum here for several months. I have a 1995 Ford Explorer XLT. It is in relatively good shape and drives well. However, I've had some problems with the dash. Here are the symptoms: Dashboard lights don't work (it started with one side going out...and now...

FYI: AutoZone is having a sale of the ScanGauge II (online only) for only $119.99 through 12/31/17 (vs. $169.00 at the manufacturer's website). Seems like a good deal if the operating system is current (otherwise an additional $25.00 fee to mail in/have updated via the manufacturer.)

the passenger side dash above the airbag seems to be melting in my 08 XLT. It's only the area above the airbag. The rest of the dash is perfect. Fibers from cleaning cloth gets stuck in it and looks wet but is just sticky. Anyone else have this? What have you done? Is this a manufacture defect...

hi guys! I miss some of the warning lights and before I start dismantle the panel I would like to get some bulbs ready. Problem is I can find a lot of guides telling how to upgrade to led back light but I guess there are at least two different types of bulbs, one type for back light 194? and...

Has anyone here cut into the dash? I'm trying to add USB ports using the existing spot for the EATC sensor, but the dash almost looks like it has metal material on the back. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. Update: It took an xacto knife and a lot of muscle, but I managed to expand the...

So I'm stripping the interior of my 96 explorer xlt..I'm in the process of making it a toy, either mud truck or buggy type vehicle and need to know what wiring inside the interior and behind dash must be left, such as ignition wiring etc. It will never be street legal so I'm pulling all the...

Greetings! I've got myself a 99 Auto XLT and ever since I bought it there has been a light on the dash that turns on periodically that I haven't been able to identify. https://postimg.org/image/jzizyjae7/ You can see the light is on in the right of the photo. I have used my best Google-Fu...

got myself a 2000 explorer 5.0 v8 a few months ago. immediately started tear down and got rid of the entire interior. i wanted it super basic as this is going to be an off road only vehicle for me. Got some new wheels and some 33" general grabbers, did a full roll cage that is not quite done...

Hey guys, So I just made this video which should be very helpful to many of us! Replacing the dash lights is not that bad of a job and it is just a little time consuming with all of the screws. Let me know what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRMSvFO7org

I recently just purchased a 2002 ford explorer Eddie Bauer with 220000 km's. It has some issues but such as the ABS light on, park light on, and advanctrac not working. does anyone have some info into this and is it possible they are all connected to one problem?

The dash and radio lights quit working. I was told the bulbs are blown but what would cause all the bulbs to blow at one time. the specialty bulbs such as the warning, high beams, and cruise control, etc. still work. only the instruments and radio and heater control lights don't work. fuse is...

I would like to replace my air bag on the passenger side of my truck. The bottom left corner has a broken mount that keeps the skin on and it flaps. It also has splits in the dye so I want to get a new one.I know the whole deal about disconnecting the battery. I've taken one out of another...

Hi so I'm assuming nig that after I put on my new wheels that the new ones done have sensors in them like stock. This doesn't bother me. However, my dash keeps displaying the "Low Tire Pressure" warning light that I'd really like to get rid of so I can keep it as clean as possible. Does anyone...

Hello all, I've been having a special kind of electrical issues w/ my 02 explorer for a while now, and think I would like to try & fix them, and any & all help is and will always be appreciated!!! I will start off by saying that it is not the Multi-Function Switch (MFS), as I just changed...

I found this very informative youtube video: Its for a 1996 Explorer but is the same for a 1995 to 1997 Explorer.

Hey there! I have a big problem on my hands. My 96 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer is having (what I believe are) electrical issues. This morning when I was dropping my boyfriend off at work, my lights did some crazy things. First, when I reached the top of my driveway, the dashboard lights kept...

i have a 2000 ford explorer and I just put an instrument cluster kit in to change my lights to blue instead of green and messed with the needles to determine things like where the gas is, speed, rmps, etc. All the needles among other things had to be removed but the needles were the most serious...

Help! I have always had poor airflow from my defrost vents. There isn't enough airflow to the windshield to keep from fogging up with more than me in the car! Long story short, I found that the defroster door on the left side of the plenum chamber is broken(so half of the airflow goes to the...

I have a 2010 Explorer XLT I bought used in April 2011 with 15K miles. It now has 27K miles. There is a vibration/rattle that appears to be coming from the dash on the passenger side. It is intermittent and only occurs in gear but stopped (at a light, etc). As soon as RPMs come up, sound...

ok so i was installing a aftermarket radio, all wires got hooked up correctly and i got power to the radio but no sound in any speakers. while rechecking my wires, making sure i got them butted together well.. i touched a power wire to something saw a spark and went "o noes" ... could no longer...

I have a 95 eddie bauer. The all the dash lights usually work. Just lately, i have noticed that sometimes the "automatic" and "off" button on the auto climate may or may not turn on when turning on the light switch. I will be driving for a while and suddenly they will turn on if they were off...

I have been searching and asking questions and i thought i would put this up for anyone brave enough to risk destroying their instrument cluster. tools needed: in this case a blue highlighter and a sharp knife Step 1: remove the cluster from the dash...

hey guys. so the other day i was wiring in a electric fan and when i finished up my truck wouldnt start. i jump started it and it started fine. i let it run for thirty mins and when i turned it back off it wouldnt start again. so i tried to jump start it again but this time nothing? not even the...

I cant get my dash lights to turn on. I replaced the light switch. Then I checked out all my fuses and then just got done replacing the bulbs. Is there a relay or something that I'm missing?

I have been looking around,and i am wondering if there is a way to change the instrument cluster bulbs from green to something else like blue? i have to get into the cluster anyway to fix a bulb and if someone else has done this i would appreciate some info. also i have already had the dash...

hey i was recently a victim of theft the theives got my head unit, subs, amp...etc.....anyways they got the whole front panel. it controls my back wiper blades its the panel surrounding the radio (climate control panel i think).... can someone out there please help me locate another one!!!

Earlier, i was curious about how to get it out. I have no done anything, no repairs, no poking about, just one day I was going down a bumpy road and the whole dern bezel, radio, ac controls and all, nearly fell out. It was then that I noticed there were some cracks, and the vents were kind of...

So today I replaced the gauge faces and repainted part of the dash surrounding it. When I took the dash off, I could not detach these wires and had no clue how to. Any tips on how to without breaking anything? This is where the wires connect(circled in red/yellow): These are the wires...
