2006 Explorer Eddie Bauer
:thumbdwn: All of a sudden my 1996 Eddie Bauer with 5.0 engine went nuts!!
It won't stay running right. What happened was I noticed the abs light on and the radio cutting on and out. Also the center console screen showed things other than normal. It would not respond to the buttons! Turn signals didn't work right and when I put headlites on they were dimmer. When flicking to high beam, the engine skipped! I parked it for an hour. When returning, the battery was too low to start. When jumped, it ran, but not right. Then when I put the headlites on and they were very dim. I could not drive it and it is out of service! What should I do ?:(
 






I would start by checking the battery and alternator.
 






Back in business

Thanks so much. I thought it was the end of the electronics in my Explorer. You were right in checking the battery. My NAPA battery was just 1 year old!
They gave me a new one and that fixed my problem. I appreciate the help!:)
