1992 Explorer XLT
Automatic Pushrod V6 (I think)
So heres the deal. Im a Dodge guy. yep I said It. This is my first ford. I have nothing against Fords, Never owned one before this puppy. Never worked on a Ford, Never played with the workings of a Ford aside from a 91 escort GT. This is also my first 4WD Vehicle..well sorta..see later in details.
I paid 800 bucks for it..so I know it is not a beauty queen. It runs well (as far as I can tell.) but has the following problems.
*Gas gauge always on E
*Tachometer always @3kish while running (returns to 0 when cars off)
* Power seat on drivers side wont move.
*4x4 switch does nothing (no lights, or noises (I read the sticky, but im quite dim on understanding what I should look for here, there seems to be no noise behind the drivers back seat where this mod should be clicking))
so Im hoping for any advice with the above issues that you may have that will point me in the right direction. also I have a game of "what are those under the hood!" for you.

(note in the album, it looks like the first picture is the left side connector, the second is the one down near the trans/oil stick area and the very last pic is the right side connector)
The first 2 pics are connectors going to nothing, but I think they should be. first two are near the lights in front (battery is in one pic for reference) second one is down near the motor, drivers side. I tried to get wire colors in the shots.
Thanks!
Matt
