Yesterday I dropped off my bf in Dallas, and of course as soon as i got back to Houston my Explorer started doing some weird things. I'm not sure if they are related or several problems that just happened at the same time. The drive to Dallas and back was fine, but when I got home the problems started.
* right after filling up with gas my fuel level gage showed empty, and then slowly moved up to full about 15ish minutes. The "check gas cap" light came on but I triple checked it and it's on tight.
*I got home, turned the car off and took out the key and the dome lights didn't come on. I opened the driver's door and the radio stayed on. I checked it after about 20 minutes and the radio had turned off.
*I pushed the button on the remote twice to lock the doors and engage the alarm and the doors locked but there was no beep (or double beep like when a door is open).
*I went to the back hatch with all doors unlocked and the hatch would open. The glass would not open when pressing the button on the remote or pressing the button underneath to open it.
I want to attempt to find the problem(s) before taking it in to have it diagnosed ($90) Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
