Hello all and thanks. What I have here is a 98 Explorer awd 4.0 Sohc. The truck was parked for 8 months in Oregon weather due to trans losing reverse which I have just fixed by replacing transmission. Now for other issues... here is a list of what currently does not work(or stop working) in the electronics.
1. Wipers stay on high speed constantly. no stopping them while key is on without unplugging wiper motor.
2. No power windows
3. No 4x4 selection seems to work as 4x4 light in cluster does not come on and acceleration feels the same with 4low selected as if in the "auto" selection.
4. Overhead display is blank, no led lights at all
5. blinkers do not work, hazards do work although I believe they are in a different circuit in most vehicles.
I have tested all of these with wiper motor plugged in and unplugged thinking I may break a circuit unplugging it but all remains the same.
I have removed the MFS from column and wipers maintained high speed function with the MFS removed.
I have read a bit about the GEM inside of this vehicle and it does seem to be able to effect some of these functions but not all of them.
I am at a loss and this is their only vehicle. No blinkers=ticket Windows stuck up = no arm siginals to prevent ticket. Having to pull over in this Oregon choppy rain to have no wipers or high speed wipers does not sound safe. :thumbdwn:
I greatly appreciate any input on this situation. Thank you in advance.
