noise

Hey guys, I have a thread going in the Transmissions subforum, but it seems like this is more of an electrical issue and less a transmission issue, so I figured it would get more exposure in here. 98 Ex SOHC. Recently started some funky shifting business. Uncommanded downshifts, jumping...

5R55E. Fluid is cherry red, clean. No burning. Honestly drives and shifts great except for occasional uncommanded downshifts. Popped a P0721 code. Replaced OSS with a Motorcraft part. Problem persists. Datalogged with Forscan. Signal is all over the place, even while stopped. Very noisy...

Getting a knocking clicking noise when im making turns and accelerating with some force. Happens either left or right. Sounds like center mid of the vehicle. Cv axles were replaced about 3 months ago for another issue, with OEM Ford. The noise is deep and doesn't sound like cv noise. More...

2020 Explorer Platinum 3rd row seats will not operate. No noise heard when operating buttons. Checked fuse 131 and it is ok.

This issue came up recently on my car and I work at a dealer as a tech and so I asked around with some of the master techs but they don't seem to know an exact cause but I was wondering if anyone could figure it out. (Link should work now)

Hi, my 2015 explorer has developed a front end noise, from a dead stop and accelerating there is a popping/creaking noise... also sometimes when I turn the wheel... Distinctly felt in the steering wheel. I Have replaced the struts (loaded ford), lower control arms complete, front axles, all...

My friend's vehicle had a loud popping noise when going over bumps and bouncing on the back produced the same results. With the rear frame supported and the right rear tire was lifted or dropped it would pop, you can feel and hear the pop and noise from several locations. Narrowed it down to the...

Today I just noticed my 2018 sport has a very loud induction sounds when going over 2k rpm. Or at least it sounds like an induction sound. When it gets up above 4k rpm it starts to whine also. I got home and tried to recreated the sound in my garage, but it doesn’t seem to make the same noise...

1998 4.0 OHV, 4x4, 5 speed manual, 228k miles There’s 1,000 posts like this already, and apologies in advance for the length of this, but after scrolling for hours today trying to find someone with my issue I still don’t know what the rattle/knock sound could be. I’m in mechanic school and one...

This is driving me insane. 2010 Explorer AWD 4.0 - At 65+ I have this humming noise that sounds like it is coming from everywhere. Sometimes it does it, other times it doesn't. It is NOT dependent on throttle, engine RPM, in/out of gear or turning left/right. I've replaced almost everything...

2017 Explorer. When it’s running, there is a noise that is constant. It sounds like a white noise machine. Everything can be off but the noise is there. It’s not audible if radio is on, but it does not go off or away.

I have a 2017 Ford Explorer Sport. Each time I turn on the seat heater, I get a buzzing noise in my rear passenger speakers. Any thoughts as to the cause?

Backstory: We took delivery of our brand new 2023 Explorer Platinum in the relatively warm month of May 2023 here in Peterborough, Ontario. As the weather became colder and as we put some km's on the odometer, we noticed a super-annoying squeak or rattle coming from the passenger side roofliner...

Hello. My Ford Explorer IV has an incomprehensible problem. For two years now. Reading error codes does not give any results - as if everything is in order. But sometimes, when I start driving and press the gas pedal, the fan noise is heard under the hood. I don't press the gas pedal - it's all...

Hi I've got a '98 that has a weird issue where, when I apply the brakes lightly (either turning and going straight) about 2-3 seconds in I get this singular thunk or clunking noise which sounds like it's coming from the front end. I can roll my window down and hear it and its usually when I'm...

Just bought this 2017 Ford Explorer a couple of months ago, as it has gotten colder it has started (sometimes) making the noise in the above video. You cannot hear it outside, you cannot hear it under the hood, it is coming from behind the dash. It does it whether I've used a block heater or...

Hello All. I have a 2013 Explorer XLT 6 cyl with towing package. About three weeks ago I took it to the dealer to get the water pump replaced (bad seal) and one catalytic converter replaced along with oil change and tire rotation. Within a couple of days of getting it back, I noticed a...

I just picked up a 2004 Explorer Limited that had a bunch of work done to it. They claim the rear hub/bearings and all 4 rotors/pads and tires were replaced like two weeks ago. I do believe it because I can see all the work that was done except for the hub/bearings. The problem is, it sounds...

Just picked up a 2004 Explorer NBX today with a 4.6. Bought it from a girl who says she changed all the coil packs and when she went to crank it, it now has a squealing sound coming from the driver side valve cover area. Someone checked the codes but cleared them and it has not been run enough...

Hello all! I have been searching for this problem for over 30 minutes and can't find anything. Perhaps I am just using the wrong search terms. My son got a 2001 Eddie from his grandmother. Everything is just fine, except... There is some kind of very loud pump or compressor (it sounds just...

I have been the owner of a 2002 Explorer Sport Trac 4wd for several years now. I am looking for help identifying a noise that the vehicle has made ever since I bought it. While running there is a constant high pitch whistling noise. The best I can describe it is like a dog whistle but within the...

Hi there, my 2003 explorer sport xlt with 4.0 sohc is making this noise when the engine is hot: It is ok when engine is cold. I know that this type of engine is notorious for timing chain issues, but the sound is very similar to a bad cat converter as below: Can you please let me know...

Hey guys, had this Explorer for about 10 years now. Its my only ride/work truck and I've done a lot of repairs to it. My vehicle is a 2005 Ford Explorer 4.0L v6 XLT I have a noise that sounds like its coming from the front. Now I just replaced 3 bearings in the front over the past 10 months...

Hello, I have a 2005 ford explorer 4.0. it has 195k miles on it and i assume the second transmission in it (but I don't really know, i just read that those 5r55s transmissions blow up at about 135k miles). I did 3 pan drops and fills and had to replace the solenoid pack. My transmission makes a...

I’ve got the infamous camshaft synchronizer squeaking sound on cold starts. I had a shop replace the lower intake and camshaft synchronizer gaskets last week and the truck has developed a squeaking sound in the rear of the engine. I took the belt off and the sound is still there. The mechanic...

I'm new to the forum and wanted to say Hello and also am curious about the problem I'm noticing on our 2017 Explorer XLT. When turning the steering wheel, I hear a ticking / clicking noise that sounds like maybe a clockspring issue in the steering column. I'm curious if anyone else has had a...

Let's play "What's! That! Sound?!" I started hearing this sound after a camping trip this past summer. I recall driving over / kicking out a small rock while parking on gravel. Vehicle:1999 Ford Explorer OHV 5-Speed Manual with ~103k miles The situation: It is a rapid-fire, machine gun...

Hi all. So I recently purchased a 2018 explorer limited. Ever since I’ve hD it. I’ve been hearing this almost clicking type noise in my backseat. It almost sounds like two plastic pieces jostling together over a small bump. When I stop. When I go. When I turn I head this noise. I’ve narrowed it...

Hello all, this is my first post, so if there is suppose to be a different place for this question please let me know. When getting ready to back out of a spot earlier today, I turned my wheel to the left, and noticed a subtle grunting noise, when turning the wheel all the way to the left. No...

I have a 2005 Ford Explorer XLT. I get a very short metal grinding noise for a split second at exactly 13 miles per hour when accelerating. I hear it happen around the driver's side front tire and I can feel it in the brake pedal. It only happens ONCE per trip. It doesn't happen again...

I have the 2008 Eddie Bauer with V8 4wd with just over 200k on it. I have a noise and vibration that gets worse the faster you go. I've had a mechanic look at it at least 3 times for it and has not found any wheel bearing bad, but this time he mentioned the front diff pinion bearing race might...

Hi Everyone! I've got my hands on a 1999 Explorer and I've been working on it for a few months now. I've found an issue that I just can't pin point. When the car is in 4x4 Low and you turn left or right towards the locks, it has a terrible clunking and knocking noise coming from the front end...

I have a 2002 Explorer Sport Trac. It started making a noise when I get to about 45 or so, sometimes. To me it kind of sounds like the motor is rushing but the tach is on 1. The speedometer drops to 20 and the noise continues until I slow down below 20, then I can take off again with no noise...

hum sounded like wheel bearing/hubs so I replaced both sides. The noise continued. Switched tires front to back, noise continues. Any ideas what else it might be??? Don't want ot spend money on half shaft if its a tranny issue???

Hey everyone, I just bought a 2007 Ford Explorer XLT, 4.0L V6, 4x4. When I purchased it a few days ago it test drove just fine other than a humming noise which the owner told me was due to a bad wheel bearing. 2 days ago I put a new wheel bearing and hub assembly in on the passenger side and...

I've had my 1999 Explorer 4.0 SOHC professionally rebuilt with the stipulation that I would have to install the timing components myself - which I did using the OTC timing kit and a new timing kit with balance shaft tensioner and chain from Evergreen (which is apparently not worth buying) and...

I have a new 2018 Platinum, ordered in February and delivered in April. After about 500 miles noticed a fairly loud hum/harmonic noise when the car reaches 20 mph, 30 mph and about 45 mph. It appears to only be an annoying vibration noise as I don't feel anything in the driveability. It happens...

1) The door ajar sign won't turn off 2) The 4x4 lights keep flashing on and off 3) The car keeps making weird noise whenever I accelerate Car sound - Clyp.

I’ve replaced both timing chain tensioners and have done an oil change with full synthetic high mileage oil. I am planning on replacing belt tensioner and idler pulley. What could this noise be? There are 158k miles and she runs mint. The noise happens at operating temperature and is not very...
