I just bought my second-ever American car (this is the 14th car I've owned), a 94 Explorer Limited with what seems like every possible option. A bit of rust, some minor things not working, but overall it seems like a good truck. I got it for a steal ($2,000) so I can't complain.
I've got:
- Gas gauge inoperative. Seems like this is a common complaint.
- Radio funky. It's the high-end JBL system, and the tuning buttons on the radio only work once the cabin has warmed up for 30 minutes or so. I plan to replace the head unit.
- Cruise control inoperative. Actually, it worked the day I got it, but hasn't since. Fuse for it is OK, but haven't investigated it further.
I just changed the oil and filter, and air filter, because god only knows the last time they were done.
I had a cursory look for an OBD2 connector under the dash, and didn't see one, so I assumed there wasn't one. However, I see people here talking about reading codes. Is there an OBD2 connector somewhere in this thing?
While the other gauges peg all the way to the right during startup, the gas gauge barely moves. Is this indicative of a bad gauge, cabling, or something else? I'd rather not have to drop the tank to replace the sender/float, but will if I have to.
Here's my new (to me) truck:
