- 07 explorer xlt
Hey guys just recently purchased an 07 explorer for my wife. It has 62k on it right now. She came home the other day and said the abs light came on, then right after so did the traction control and wrench lights. So I took it for a spin. When I started it up no lights were on but when I got to about 20-30 mph they all popped on so I continued to drive around for a little while and they would randomly go off and on but majority of the time all stayed on. The other thing I noticed was when making even the slightest left turn there is almost a squeaking noise coming from the passenger side. Can't tell front or rear yet though. Since I don't drive the vehicle regularly and she hasn't mentioned it to me I can't determine if these two problems relate to each other but kinda thinking and hoping they do. I'm guessing the noise I'm hearing is a wheel bearing going out but it's weird cause it's not a grinding or really metal on metal noise it's definitely more of a squeak noise and it's definitely something with the spinning of the wheel cause the faster I go the faster the squeak is. But if I turn to the right it doesn't really do it. So my questions are since I'm new to these vehicles and really fords in general, does this sound like a wheel bearing issue, has anyone heard that noise before, would a wheel baring going out cause all the lights to go on and off, or do you think I have two seperate problems right now? Also I read up on the abs rings breaking and I guess that could be a problem but would that cause noises when only turning left? Sorry for the long post guys just tryin to get this figured out for the wife. Thanks
