My 02 Explorer is stuck in 4 lo. I have read a lot on here and am getting a replacement 4x4 control module, but is there anyway I can get my truck back in auto 4 wheel or 2 wheel drive while waiting for my part to arrive?

Hey guys - bought a 2002 Ex about a month ago, and the previous owner had removed the entire parking brake system on the rear end (aside from the cables that needed replacing anyway). I've installed the shoes, hardware kit, and new cables, and the lever too. Now, I've reached a problem. The...

So Ive had my 2003 sport trac for about 5 months now. It recently started pulsating upon starup. Its very hard to explain the problem. It doesnt happen in the mornings, normally when i get off of work. Ill turn the key and go to drive and it will start pulsating, its enough that it makes me move...

Hello, My 1992 Eddie Bauer Explorer's engine purrs along perfectly when the vehicle is in neutral or park. When I put it in gear (and the engine is warm) there is a knocking sound from underneath whenever I have my foot on the brake. When I start driving, it goes away. It doesn't happen...

I have a 2008 Ford Explorer. My sunroof will only tilt up. It will not come back down or retract. I removed the upper console to access the motor and was able to manually close the sunroof. I checked the fuses and all seem to be fine. I tested a few things and figured it was a bad motor...

I have a problem with the right flasher. it works fine with the headlights off but when I turn the headlights on the flasher sticks on with the head lights. the bulbs are all good, changed them just to be sure and they all work individually. I think I have narrowed it down to a short in a ground...

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. I have a 1994 Explorer Limited 4x4. 4.0 V6 with 147,000 miles. The automatic transmission works well in most conditions, however it seems to be "indecisive" and shifts hard between 2nd and 3rd gear when going up hill. When cruising down the highway...

Hey Guys, got an 04 Limited 4.6 V8 with a 5R55W(?) in it. my question is, when should my convertor lockup from cold. It doesn't usually lockup for about (4miles) 8 or 10 mins first thing in the morning when its freezing cold. after that, its fine. Should it do that or should it lockup pretty...

Hello. I started my car after volunteering today an i started to hear a putting/clunking sound you can say was pretty loud at first then kind of died down a little but came back while I driving. Went on a little on an off, luckily I didn't have to go far to get home. Got home looked at a few...

Any suggestions? My caber was aligned "to spec" by Pep Boys, but the wheels sit like this when parked or after turning sharp. When I drive, they straighten out and are fine. I am not so much worried about the tires wearing as I am about having possible serious suspension issues. Also, my...

Hi guys, Having problems with my gears engaging. Story goes whilst driving I accidentally hit the gear in neutral without realising, went to accelerate realised it was just revving and whilst still accelerating hit it into drive. Car made a couple of bangs and now it wont engage into any gears...

Hey everyone, I had a problem today when I was driving to work. As always I started the truck and let it warm up until the rpms settled. I hit the road and noticed my tranny wouldn't shift into 4th gear, I was doing 2500 rpm at 40 mph. I noticed a slight delay from 4th to 5th a few months ago...

Hey all, I just joined the site because I own a '99 Explorer that I plan on keeping for a while. I'm working on getting it up and running because it's been sitting for two years after the reverse gear stopped working. I found it and it looks great for having sat. Engine looks good, just put a...

Last week I just bought a 1998 ford explorer for $1100.00. The car is is beautiful shape and I wanted to make sure everything was up and running within working order. Now on the keychain remote comes with a "red" button which I thought was a alarm,so I decided to push it. It activates obviously...

I recently insatalled Canvasback cargo and seat back covers in my 2013 Exp with power fold seats. First off the Canvasback cover is awesome, with a very nice fit. My problem is with the power fold third row seats. With the covers installed, the power fold will not operate properly. I tried...

I'm experiencing some problem lately with my car, I'm hopping some one could tell me more about what's wrong with my car. this is what happened: When I run into a yellow light and didn't notice it soon enough, I come to a quick stop by pressing the brake hard and all the way. When green light...

Hello, I have a 2001 Explorer XLT that I just bought and I am having problems with the front driver's door power window. The auto down feature will only take the window down about 1cm and if I hold down the button from there it moves at a snail's pace down until its about 2/3's of the way...

So this may be an odd question. My house came with a Chamberlain garage door opener, but I have an issue with the remote. My remote does not work when it's on the visor. It doesn't matter if it's on my visor or the passenger. I've tried new batteries, I bought a new remote, I checked the antenna...

the other day my 2004 Sport Trac died while i was driving down the road. i towed it to the house, and determined the fuel pump was bad by: 1) listening to the tank (no buzzing when key is turned to run) 2) checked the fuel pump fuse, still good 3) checked the relay connections for power, got...

clutch worked fine then I let someone else drive it and now the pedal works backwards. I push down and it's in gear I release and the trans is disengaged but am still unable to shift gears. Have to kill the engine to up the trans in and out of gear. Plenty of fluid, any ideas on how to fix with...

Hey guys, so I have a 2006 Explorer 4.0 and lately it has been idling around 1700 rpm after a cold start. The revs go back down after driving for a little bit, but the car still idles rough. Also whenever the engine is revved and is going back to idle you can hear a slight popping noise. It is...

... for some reason Ford isn't providing Sync Services in Canada, even simple things like vehicle health. Canadians haven't had access to Sync for years now, with no explanation from Ford Canada .... so please vote and lets see if Ford really does pay attention to their Ford Story site! (If...

I recently changed the spark plugs in my '98 Explorer 4.0 SOHC to try and fix a pinging problem during cold starts. Pinging is still there, but better, and my MPG has skyrocketed. However, whenever I tow my 1300 lb boat and trailer it feels like I am STRUGGLING to accelerate! Before I...

I drive a 98 AWD Explorer. I bought it in 2005, at which time the air temperature control was not working. So essentially, I could either get hot air with the heater or vents on, and cold air with the AC. But I could turn the system off and close the vents as well. A while ago, the AC...

So recently, I had a #7 Cylinder Misfire in my 1996 AWD V8 Explorer. I got the plugs, wires, and coil packs changed with brand new ones, and now I have a misfire on Cylinder #5. Anyone know what could have happened? I get the code P0305 and sometimes the check engine light flashes. Before the...

I have had a 95 explorer for about a month now and everything is fixed on it except for this whining sound. It only occurs while driving but when you let off the gas the noise will go away. The whine is more loud at some speeds than others which really throws me off. I have put some transmission...

So to make things easier for you to understand, I have a 96 Ford Explorer Limited V8 AWD. Just last week, I checked my transmission fluid, and it was burned and darkish brown, but the transmission was shifting just fine. I made an appointment for the following week for a fluid & filter change...

Hi all, first post, saw a lot of info here so I figured I'd give it a try... The easiest way to describe the symptom I am getting is that the explorer seems to "coast" anytime I let off the gas. When the shifter is in 1, 2, or 3, when you let off the gas engine braking should take place, but...

So I am currently looking at a very bad (potentially good) situation with my father's 2002 Explorer Limited. Awhile ago he replaced his engine due to the notorious timing chain problem. His plan was to replace it and sell it in the summer. However recently he ran into troubles again! At this...

My car has a problem. When it idles, whether just started or at a traffic light. The electrical power seems to fluctuate. The clock gets dim and then normal brightness over and over, same as all the rest of the lights(headlights, etc). So it only happens at idle, so...any ideas? Thanks:D
