- 2005 Explorer XLT
I haven't spent much time with new-kid intro's (pardon me), but I've been having an incredible experience wandering the vast halls of Explorer lore at hand...
I've recently acquired an '05 Explorer XLT, at what I thought (at the time) was a bargain price. HMMM...
The issue at hand...Parking/running Lts are dark. Down-loaded the OEM manual, and even bought the on-line Chilton's manual. The Ford manual seems to have a slight disconnect with my current reality, and Chilton's is refusing my log-on requests. GRRRR...
Mind thee now, I've had over thirty years experience as a marine electrician, including consultancy translating Italian schematics for American boat-yards. For what I've seen, so far, of the Ford schematics...You've got to SCHLITZING me. It took me a fair while to determine that I'm dealing with not just one, but TWO fuse blocks, the second being buried under the dash (you *******I ). Anyways, I have identified an anomaly at the under-hood block BJB (battery junction block) at fuses 42-46...
With key "run" ("x" being "hot")...

Before I embark on a Crusade of biblical proportions, I thought I'd see if one (or more) members might have dealt with a similar situation...Y'all know where to find me...Stang
