- 1994 Ford Explorer Eddie
I have a 1994 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer automatic with 4 wheel drive. It has been setting for about 3 months now, and finally got it running about a week ago. I have done a bunch of repairs to it such as replacing the fuel filter, battery, battery cables, spark plugs, and etc. Then the routine repairs that are suppose to be done every so many miles or months. After I got it running, took it for a test drive to make sure there was nothing else wrong with it besides my transmission. Then I started smelling something burning as if it was rubber. We thought it was my positive battery cable. Well it turns out it was another wire that runs down by my starter. The outside layer started melting. I need to know how to get the power back to where it is suppose to be, there is too much power coming through. And why is my starter running when it is still in park? After we got it running went out the next day to get it started, and all it does is click. Plus how can I can I find and stop a transmission leak? This explorer has had 3 transmissions through it already. I'm constantly having to add ATF fluid when I get to a stopping point, before shutting the vehicle off before I go to do what I have to do. This has been the most costly part of keeping the vehicle running. Plus one time it will leak a whole bunch and the next time it won't leak at all. Any information would be helpful!... Just a little side note all of my lines that run to my transmission have been flushed already. Thank you!
