- 2000 Ford Explorer XLS
Greetings everyone, this will be my first post here, which I hate to say is a call for help.
I have looked everywhere online and in my manuals, but have found no solution as of yet.
My 2000 Ford Explorer XLS is having issues with blowing fuses. Specifically the fuses that control the fog lights and high beams. The rear defrost no longer works, and neither does the auto door locking when the truck is put into gear.
A strange thing I've noticed, is that before the fog lamp fuse blows (which is only a few seconds after a new one is installed) the headlights come on by themselves. No key in the ignition, the switch isn't on, nothing. They don't come on at full power though, just a bit of a yellow glow, but it's definitely the headlights. As to which filament, I'm unsure.
All my other lights (minus the fogs) are functional, and no idiot lights have popped on thus far.
The power windows, locks, and mirrors still function, as does the radio and front and rear wipers.
Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
