Greetings all! I am a bit confused as to whether the 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum can use Phone As Key via the Ford Pass app on my phone or not. I've read that it can, but I certainly haven't figured out how to set it up. My Polestar 2 has Phone As Key and the key fobs for the car stay at home.

Hello Symptoms: Engine cranks normally but doesn’t start. No check engine light. Forscan shows the fuel pump is active while cranking. Oddly, it starts and runs fine at night or early morning when it’s cooler, but refuses to start during the day when it's warmer. Any ideas on what could be...

Hi, I just did a smoke test on my Explorer searching for a possible vacuum leak. The only place that smoke escaped was near the knob on the idle air control valve. Is this the vacuum leak or is it normal for smoke to escape from the valve when the vehicle is not running? Thank-you in advance.

Hello. Hope someone can help me understand. My 2013 Explorer Limited is now undriveable due to the power steering going out. When running a diagnostic scan, the code that came up was C1B00-86.
