I am hoping that someone has had this issue before and has a trick they used. The drivers side headlight went out on my 2011 Explorer. I went to change it by removing the rubber headlight dust cover and turning the base of the low/high beams 1/4 inch counter clockwise per the user manual. The...

So I’ve done some mods to my explorer, originally it did not come with puddle lights on the mirrors but the passenger side mirror was busted and so I went to the junk yard and replaced it unknowingly installing one with the puddle lamp and it worked! I went ahead and did the driver side too and...

hello all! Bought my first explorer earlier this fall and loving it.... except for the flickering headlights. Not so great when you work 3rd shift and commute at 11:30 at night. My Explorer is a 94 Limited and after a couple searches on the forums I have deduced that the headlight switch is...

I recently acquired a 1997 V8 AWD Explorer and it failed inspection b/c running lights wouldn't light. I finally troubleshot it to the headlight switch, found the wires, connecting harness, and switch were melted. Replaced the harness and switch (soldered and shrink wrapped each wire) but have...

2008 LTD 4.6L Greetings, See link below. Should this headlight switch be illuminated (green) when my headlights are on? IE all the rest of the dash, heater controls etc glow green (backlit) at night when the headlights are on. This switch does not. It is totally dark...

I'm sure most of you early 02 explorer owners have noticed that if you have fog lamps, you can't turn them on in the auto position (if you have auto lamps too). I'm going to tell you how to cut a small piece of a plastic bracket inside the switch so you can turn it on in the auto position. If...

So my dash lights went out and all of the indicators are working. I checked the fuses, and they are good. From what I've read it's common for the headlight switch to go bad. I pulled it out and looked at it and it looked fine. Would I notice any visible damage to the switch, specifically the...

Hello all, I recently purchased a 1995 XLT Ford Explorer from a friend. The vehicle has a kink or two to work out, but the most important safety issue I have to address is the lack of dash lighting(including the hvac lighting). I searched through the old posts and found some tips for the gen...
