I was repairing a wire on my 2005 Ford Explorer in the door where the wiring harness travels through the boot, and after finishing the repair to the wire that controls window function, my locks seem to be misbehaving. Here's whats going on now. When i push the unlock button on both the drivers...

Hey guys new to the forum. I just had a question and hopefully can advise me to success. I just got a little sound system for my explorer and wanted to put it in myself as something to keep me busy on my off day. I want to install my subs and amp without removing my head unit by using a line out...

So I got my explorer from the original owner and he had a crappy cd changer installed and I had to go in and work on/remove it (sold it with the changer but not the cartridge for the CDs). While in the console however I found the female end of a wiring harness. Dose anyone know what it should be...

Hi all - new member, first post. I just bought a used 2007 Explorer EB V8. Going through it finding all the little things wrong I need to fix. (crappy lighted visor covers broke, etc) Discovered that both the front and rear power points are not working. Checked the fuses (21 and 25) in the Power...

Hello, working on a bare bones 98 ranger with a draw. Pulling 1.09 with the multimeter. Here what i know. You open the pass door and the multi-meter spikes up to 1.8+. I open the drivers door and no change at all. I pulled the switch on the latch, no issues. Checked the resistance on the...

Hey guys. So, I got a new rough country lightbar. it's 50 inches, and i've got a aftermarket roof rack. I've got the steel and I'm going to just weld a bracket to fit onto the roof rack since it's only 37 inches wide. My problem is though, I'm really, really, really trying to avoid drilling...

Has anyone here cut into the dash? I'm trying to add USB ports using the existing spot for the EATC sensor, but the dash almost looks like it has metal material on the back. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. Update: It took an xacto knife and a lot of muscle, but I managed to expand the...

So I'm stripping the interior of my 96 explorer xlt..I'm in the process of making it a toy, either mud truck or buggy type vehicle and need to know what wiring inside the interior and behind dash must be left, such as ignition wiring etc. It will never be street legal so I'm pulling all the...

Hi everyone, has anyone ever had this problem? My interior done lights (all 3, front, back, cargo) don't come on when I open the doors, but they turn on manually with their individual switches. Also, the dimmer switch by the headlight knob does absolutely nothing. Any ideas?

I posted this thread last week looking for some answers (didn't find any) but you can see what my symptoms are: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/09-explorer-no-start-rsc-service-now-theft-light-blinking-gauge-cluster-dead.446294/ So anyway, I ordered a new transciever since...

It appears as though the wires for my horn and cruise control are missing in my 1996 Explorer Sport (see this image: http://i.imgur.com/sSGPKXC.jpg). I have two questions. First, is it possible to rewire it if I get a harness from a junkyard, and second, did my explorer come from the factory...

Hello everybody. I have an 02 explorer with a 4.0. Recently while driving the battery light would come on and the battery gauge would drop while driving. If I charge up the battery it holds the charge until the vehicle is running. Then after about 30 minutes the gauge drops and the lights...

Hello all, I have seen many wiring diagrams but none that I can find that do exactly what I want to do. I plan on mounting two lights on the back of a 1997 explorer with factory tow package (4-way harness). Can I use the Running/Tail light wire (brown) and ground (white) to power the lights...

These go by many various names... but seemingly "Ghost" and/or "Shadow" is always in the title. They install under the door, and shine down as puddle lamps do, but with an image / logo instead of a plain light. Here are ones with a Ford logo: http://amzn.to/1xNhIc6 I've bought some and looking...

I have a 1999 expo, and im trying to install some cab lights on the roof. I already have them mounted, but im not sure where to wire them to. i heard you can splice them into the headlamp switch near the steering wheel, but theres many wires so which color?? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I've searched everywhere and I can't seem to find any info on the Eddie Bauer step ladders with the lights built in. Does anyone know what would be involved in installing some on my XLT? Is the wiring already there or do I have to do it myself? I currently have the mirrors w/ the lights that...

hey folks! i just got a 1992 Explorer XLT and the only issue is the passenger door ajar sensor or button is broken and always thinks that door is open. this is a problem because when the door is open the interior lights are always on. i took both sides apart just to check it out and the driver...

Hello fellas! Well I have switched all 16 lights in my instrument panel to LED's, the ONLY downside I have found is when the truck is running, the 4x4 button lights are dimly lit. That's not much of a problem though. BUT it made me decide I want to add resistors to the wires so I know everything...

I had a 2004 Explorer with a sirius unit in it that is active and I was hoping to somehow rig it up in my 2007 EB. Sorry, could not get pics to embed without them being enormous. The plugs are not the same from the current sirius unit in the 07 and my unit from 04, so it's not a simple plug and...

A friend recently hooked me up with 2 pairs of Blazer International C9002K Baja lights. It comes with wires and they're even jacketed. I'm planning on mounting the lights themselves to the front of my gear basket on the roof of the Explorer. What I was wondering is where you guys have run...

This may sound dumb, but I was wiring up a set of tow lights and need to connect directly to the vehicle battery ( with a fuse of course) but I can not find a way to get through to the battery from inside the interior of the vehicle Vehicle 2012 Ford Eplorer XLT. Any help would be great...

I am looking for a wiring diagram for the fuel pump driver module circuit on my 2005 Explorer Sport Trac (4.0L). I am getting the error code P1233 and I wanted to test for open circuits, but I am not sure which wires I should be testing on the connector. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hey all, I'm a broke high schooler with my mom's old Explorer, and this car hasn't done me wrong (I actually love it), except for blowing sub and frying the amp. I've been trying to wire these godforsaken aftermarket amp and sub up to the factory head unit in my '01 Eddie Bauer for...

Hey guys, I am new to this forum and I posted this in the wrong place last time, but hopefully someone can help me out now. This is my first Explorer and I received it with an aftermarket stereo installed, but the rear speakers were not working. I pulled the stereo out and noticed that the rear...

So I've been all over the internet looking for answers on this issue. My early '96 X just won't cooperate with the autolamps working. I've got power to the mirror (auto darkening one, with the on/off button for the autolamps) I've replaced the RAP with one out of a 98 to work with the keyfob...

Ok to start this off i work at a shop and work on various different cars. i have a 2001 explorer sport trac. noticed the rear right window wasnt working, took the door panel off and tested the motor, motor works fine when i put 12 volts to it. then I noticed that the 30 amp fuse in the engine...

So I was working in my girlfriends 2005 Sport Trac, and thought it would be nice to install some led strips in her footwells (done it plenty of time in other cars.) She has the stock radio, so (with everything disconnected of course) I cut constant line and splice in the positive light line...

Bought a new radio for my explorer, it is a 2007 xlt ironman. The radio came with a harness, but I still need to get the vehicle harness that connects me into the factory wiring if I decide to do the install myself. However, looking at the radio harness side of the wiring, I'm trying to figure...

Had a 1996 4.0 4x4 with manual trans / elect. t-case. It rolled :roll: and I got a 1996 4.0 with auto trans / elect. t-case. The new one has a blown engine. So I want to put the engine out of my rolled manual into the new auto rig. I had found a thread about going from auto to manual that the OP...

Folks, I have a '96 Eddie Bower Explorer. Headlights and tail lights are no longer working. The wiring inside the center consul seems to be smoking. I guess I'm going to have to take off the the consul and dash, but have any of you experienced this? Recommendations? Thanks, Scott
