New Explorer owner

[Bryan1090]

I just picked up an 1996 Ford Explorer from a police auction with 67g on the odo. I'm first trying to figure out a drain on the battery. Battery checks out OK and i reinstalled the bulbs missing, now time to spray the latches because of the door ajar switch.

BTW dirt dirt dirt cheap.

ps any words of advice for the ajar light would be appreciated.

Thanks.
I've been spraying all the latches but still
have not stopped the problem yet, for some reason
I think it's the lift gate.

I bought this explorer for 25 bucks from the town police.
on a side note one of the pics has the all the center caps on it, and after i bought it and went to
pick it up someone from inside the police lot stole the center caps.
I was kind of pissed but i figure someone needed them more. thank god lots
of junkyards around me.

It also has a brake fluid leak but i'm going to hold off till it ges warmer here.
