starter

Hey everyone, new to the forum. I've recently bought a Explorer 97. Got some small questions about it. Since I live in Sweden it's quite the rare car, parts and knowledge about the car is hard to get overhere. Anyhow. My car is a explorer from 97 with barley any milage on it. Been stood...

Yesterday morning the engine would not turn over. the dash received power and the nights would come on and the beeping sound would happen if the lights where left on. I had it towed to my Mechanic. He told me it is the fuse box that needs to be replaced after he determined that the starter was...

Hi there, I drive a 2005 Ford Explorer XLT and a few days ago after turning my car off, as I was walking into my house I heard my car radio start playing and interior lights came on. I unlocked and relocked the car on my key fob and the radio and lights turned off. Today I got out of my car...

Daughter has a 1998 Ford Explorer. As soon as you try and start it, it goes dead. I have found that I can disconnect the battery, and reconnect it, and everything goes back on until you try and start it again. I have put a voltmeter to the battery and it is good. I put the voltmeter to just...

I have a 1993 Ranger that's been giving me some problems. About 3 months ago the starter began to drag turning the motor over until eventually it stopped all together. The truck has roughly 350k miles on it so I assumed it was just the starter going bad and so I replaced it. Well here we are...

2000 Ford Explorer Limited 5.0 So this is how the whole issue started... I needed to switch out a fuse for the cig lighter. I went out and printed a copy of the internal fuse diagram since i bought my explorer off of craigslist with no owners manual. I switched out the cig lighter and...

OK, I put in a new radiator in my 02 4.6 XLT, along with 3 new idler pulley's, new serpentine belt and a new water pump. All went perfectly. During my test drive I turned on the AC and it blew cold for 30 seconds and then back to warm. Since the air has not been on since last summer I'm not sure...

Hello, all. I appreciate your reading my question. My 2002 Explorer recently would not turn over when the key was turned to the START position. I did some troubleshooting, all relays/fuses/etc. were good, and found that there was power at the starter solenoid. So I replaced the starter...

It seems I have a problem with my starter. Twice in one week it wouldn't even crank. First time.. Boyfriend used the remote starter on really cold day. It started, then stalled. So he started it manually. Didn't realize he needed to hit the brake pedal to shut off lights. One hour or so...
