solenoid

Hi, this is my first time posting to a car forum, sorry if I sound ignorant about cars or anything. I recently started having issues with my ford explorer, it is a 4.0L V6 4WD 1996 Ford Explorer. It started when I took my car home for the holidays, the transmission was slipping a little bit...

I have a 5R55E transmission that has been slipping out of first gear, almost into neutral it seems, and I have to remove my foot from the gas, and let it clunk back into gear, then it's fine. It only will do this when the transmission fluid is warm, only once, then drive with no symptoms. Or if...

I have an 08 Ford Explorer and on a trip back from Las Vegas after about 4 hrs going back home the check engine light came after having the light check it came up as PO775 pressure control solenoid B took it to transmission shop to have fluid changed but there stated need a new transmission...

I had someone take out one of my selenoid bushings without measuring the depth. Any idea what kind of problems that could cause?

Hello guys, I need to replace the solenoid pack for my 2005 with 5R55S transmission. The part number I removed from the car is the 4L2P-7G391-AA, i ordered on ebay a replacement and i got the 1L2P 7G391 AF. Do you know what is the difference between these solenoid packs??? Can i install the...

Usually I snap a quick photo on a job like this, so it's a no-brainer to put it back together, but didn't have my phone handy... So, I pulled this solenoid off my '97 Explorer to bench test it 'cause I'm troubleshooting starting issues. It worked fine on the bench: good solid click on/off, with...

trying to troubleshoot some starting issues, car has newer battery and the terminal ends seem to be in fine shape, but cannot find a fender mounted solenoid... I know ford started phasing them out at this point but see posts saying it should be along the driver side fender after the battery but...

Hey guys. So I have a 2WD, 2005 Sport Trac. The truck has been having numerous transmission issues, and I was told by a Ford Mechanic that it is likely due to one or more issues with the valve body, or solenoids. So, I decided to just replace them both to make sure the issue is solved. I...

Hey guys and gals, I have a 2002 Explorer Sport Trac, with code P1451. It is an emissions thing and a little research says it is either a faulty circuit to the Canister Vent Solenoid (CVS) or a bad CVS. My Questions is: Where is this damn thing located, and how can I fix it to get rid of the...

This truck is driving me out of my mind. Ive got a new alternator new battery, fusible links are good fuses are good, replaced terminals, im getting no charge and my battery light is on. Ive tested EVERYTHING. When i put the new battery in it was running at 14 or so volts, checked at alt yellow...

My vehicle is in the shop as I write this. The shop has been in business for decades, so I believe they know their craft. They replaced the solenoid pack and took my vehicle for a test drive, discovered a leak, but no other issues. After fixing the leak, they took another test drive, where the...

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport. I've had some past issues with loose battery terminals but none recently following a good tightening. This morning, the engine wouldn't turn over. The electronics were all functional, but there was no clicking sound. I would turn the key...and nothing. The...

Been here awhile, sold my Explorer a few years ago, now I have this Mountaineer. Runs great, leather interior, 4.0 AWD 158,000 miles Now about the transmission.... Looked at the Servo upgrade with the O-Rings, but my shifting seems real normal and the OD light is not doing anything...

I have a 98 explorer sport, and while driving, my car doesn't seem to go above 3rd gear. Driving on the street is fine, i can still accellerate fine to well above the speed limit, but when Im on the freeway, the higher gears don't engage, and the revs will just keep going higher as I accelerate...

To start off thanks to all that reply your the hart of all that keeps sites like this going. 2002 explorer with 5R55W transmission. Started out a bad leak,thought it was a torque converter seal,till I was pulling transmission and saw the overdrive servo cover and snap ring hanging out. Well...

Hey guys, new to this so I'll get right to it. 2004 ford explorer 4×4 v6. Last night I was driving home and after stopping at a stop sign I hit the gas and my explorer jerked hard and then started on foward. and for the rest of the ride home it had a constant forward jerking feeling about every...

I have two Aerostars. One is a 1997 AWD to which this post does not apply. I also have a 1992 2WD for which this post was written. I searched and searched and could not find anything that matches these symptoms. It may be something as simple as a blown fuse, or shorted wiring or both. I am...

I have been working on my 96 Explorer 4x4 for over a year now trying to get the damn thing run and shift properly. I have had tranny rebuilt...twice...and have had wire harness replaced twice....solenoids B and C replaced FIVE times! All electrical issues seem OK....and a transmission guy said...

Hi, I have a 2005 Explorer with the 4.0 and 5R55S trans. Ever since I've owned it, it has always had a delay trying to shift into reverse, and when it would finally engage it would slam into reverse and rock the entire car. Then when driving normally, -and this happens sporadically- when...

I was away for a couple of months and I had my 2002 Explorer 4.0L parked in the driveway at home. When I returned home at the beginning of December, it wouldn't start and my 10 month old battery was dead and frozen. The auto store replaced the battery and I plunked the new battery in the SUV and...

Hey everyone, I got a code P1443 a week ago, so I got a new canister purge solenoid (google BWD CP509 to see the part I got). After searching this forum, I was finally able to locate the existing valve below the air filter housing. I replaced the valve, but the vacuum tubes connecting to it...

Hello everyone. I am having transmission problems with an 02 explorer 5r55w that had a bad solenoid A that cause shifting problems; intermittent O/D flashing; and unable to turn O/D on and off. We had purchased a used solenoid pack that seemed to test out fine through ohm resistant setting...

I have an 06 Explorer. Suddenly have no reverse. No warning signs, leaks, lights, codes, etc. All other gears work including 4 hi & Low. When I put it in reverse, the car doesnt move. If I give it gas, the engine hesitates for a brief moment, then the rpms increase (as if I was in...

Started earlier this week: Vehicle is a '99 Ford Explorer XLT 2WD, 4.0L SOHC. 230,000 miles. Pulled the code. It is P-1740. No leaks, but the transmission fluid hasn't been changed since I've had the car (at 160,000). I have the stuff to change the fluid/filter/etc. However, along...

Battery recently tested by AAA and said charge was good and when turning over the battery is putting out sufficient amps. However, what is happening is intermittent. Sometimes when I turn the key over the starter seems like the truck just came off the assembly line. Other times when I turn the...

My '03 Ford Explorer v6 has been shuddering a lot for the past year. It will rev up and down when idle, even stall out occasionally. It has gotten progressively worse so I took it in to a mechanic. They told me to change the Mass Air Flow Sensor and spark plugs. I did so and it worked great...

Okay, so I have a 2002 Ford Explorer xls 4wd; it has the 5R55W automatic transmission in it. Like many of you, my O/D light started flashing, and I was getting a hard shift from 2-3. After some research , including from this site, I learned that the problem is NOT solved by replacing the...

I have a 1986 Bronco II with an A4LD Transmission. It has a smooth 1-2 shift and the shift from 2-3 is a very high rpm (4500 roughly). After the 2-3 shift, it will not shift to 4th at all. I did not have my 2-3 shift and then I replaced the shift modulator and got that back. I have two routes I...

Question needs answering ASAP. I have all of 3 hours to fix this problem TODAY before I need to be back on the road Drove down south in my new 94 explorer sport. Ran fine, but the check engine light came on, check all the fluids and everything was fine. Stopped for gas and it was a bit hesitant...

This is the ground wire that is grounded to the left of the windshield wiper motor. What is it connected to? My car won't start because it looks like it caught fire? Or melted a little bit, so I need to replace it, but I have NO idea where it goes. Can anyone out there tell me? It's on a 1996...

Okay when i turn the key to start i Hear a servo in the power dist box click but nothing else happens. The check engine light does come on when i put the key to "on" when i turn it to start the ebrake light, and check oil light come on along with the door chimer. Also when at on the abs light is...

We previously owned an '87 Bronco II, a delightfully straightforward vehicle. We purchased our '91 Explorer last year. Very clean overall, with just a few minor issues along the way since purchase. My wife had the truck the other day. She said she drove (slowly) through a flooded section...

Hi, I need to replace shift solenoid 2 in the trans of my 96 Explorer and was wondering if this is accessable by simply dropping the pan, or if the valve body also needs to be removed. Thanks

1992 Explorer 4x4 The EEC fuse blows unless the small connector on the driver's side of the trans just above the pan is unplugged. How do I determine which solenoid is the culprit? If I have to replace the solenoid(s), is there anything else I should do while in there? Could it be something...

Ok. My 97 Explorer XLT was behaving very nicely until one day, I had to jumpstart it because the starter would not make any noise when I turned the key. The battery was fine, I know this because we had to bridge the gap between the two bolts on the starter relay to get the thing started. I...

My rig ran great until yesterday... I left my car in the 100 degree sun for the whole day and that night it wouldn't start. I turned the ignition and nothing. It doesn't turn over at all. It doesn't do the clicking sound and there is no fading of the lights when I try starting. The battery seems...

Hey Everyone, First off I just want to thank you for this forum. I have found a lit of useful information. I am having some serious problems with my 1996 Explorer XLT. I had my transmission replaced for the second time about 2 years ago and I believe the same thing is happening again. My...
