- '96 Limited
My dad (Ford salesman for 25 years) bought me a '96 Limited when someone traded it in a few weeks ago. $1000 wasn't bad. Anyway, there are a few issues with it, but none serious enough to ask why the hell he bought it. The biggest issue right now is that the air doesn't work. At all. I have tried searching the forums, but perhaps I am just a bad searcher. I have found threads that address what is wrong if it still works on high, but none with no air at all. My dad bought another blower unit, but that turns out to not be the issue. He is going to ask the guys at work if they know exactly what it is, but thought I would ask here since explorers are your passion.
Any ideas on these other issues and possible costs?
- back wiper isn't working.
- Steering wheel leather is peeling pretty bad. Should I just get a cover?
- outside temp seems to be off. Not really a big deal with internet.
- my seat lumbar will inflate, but not deflate.
- I should really replace my driver's seat belt. It's kinda stiff. The others dont even look like he ever passengers in the car!
- My driver's side outside handle is loose. Found the fix on this one!
- Passenger lock will not lock with automatic locks but will unlock. Found the fix on this one as well!
- And I may just leave this one- He had a car phone installed in the power point on the passenger side. I get comments every where about it. People think it's the best thing ever!
I would really like to learn how to do some of these on my own. However, with a 4 year old, they may not all be possible! And well, the Ford guys kinda look at me like I'm nuts when I walk in and start talking about fixing a car...
