Hi Duane, Was wondering if you have a quick fix for power antenna that needs help to go down, or the check engine light comes on, but vehicle runs fine. Also does your explorer seem to ride a little rough. thanks, Steve

Here's some information I received from someone regarding the check engine light: I did have a Check Engine Light that kept coming back after being 'reset'. Turned out to be an EGR problem that was throwing an "insufficient flow, EGR" code. In any case, after 3 visits to non-Ford 'tune-up' shops who went after the EGR valve, I read up on the Serious Explorer message board and determined that it was the EGR differential sensor ( something like that). Apparently, a very common failure with many Fords (the small-town dealer had 36 in stock.....that says something). I don't believe that there's a 'fix' that could remedy the problem as opposed to purchasing the new $65 sensor/valve. **************** Let me know if this helps. Regards, Duane Harrison

Learned about your site from the Explorer group at Yahoo. Pictures are clear and sharp. I have yet to have any of the problems you describe (96EB) What maintainance do you do? Some people (DrBob on his site) recomend very extensive work - pulling prop shaft, lubing splines, dismantling 4wd hubs, cleaning, lubing, etc. I have yet to do any of that, just normal oil changes, coolant flush, filters, etc. - 60k miles..

Reply from D Harrison:
I do the minimum maintenance necessary...I do try to change the oil every 3000 miles. I should probably be a little more aggressive on my maintenance such as coolant flushes. I need to be better about rotating my tires...I always end up with "cupping" on the tires due to lack of rotations (Ford's are notorious for that, I'm told). I've been advised that I should rotate the tires every other oil change (however, we put 3000 on the car pretty fast...it gets to be too much to rotate the tires when I'm doing these oil changes myself...and still have some quality time with the kids).

Steve - On Grand Marquis with power ant, I fully extended it, cleaned it thoroughly, and sprayed sections with silicone lube. Ran it up and down a few times, now fine. I put a little silicone lube on both that one and my Explorer ant. at every wash now. Motor oil would lube better, but attract too much dirt. George

Akin to the door ajar sensor problem, my door open chimes ring all the time the door is open keys-in ignition or key-out of ignition. They used to be quite when the door was open but keys were not in the ignition. I pulled the fuse but this kills the interior lights also!!! Holding a generous donation awaiting a comment.

Reply from D Harrison:
I don't have the answer for you at this time...it seems like it would take a close look at the schematics of the circuitry controlling the chimes to fix it. If I come across something I'll let you know....or if someone reading this has the solution, please post or email Steven above.

I Have a problem with my heater/ac control that I have not been able to fix. All I get is hot air, even with the Temp controler all the way in the blue, no matter what vent position I have it in. The only time that I can get somewhat cool air is if it is in Max A/C and even than it's not that cold. I've tried replacing the temp control potentiometer switch on the instrument panel, but that didn't work. I have traced back and it appears that all my vaccum lines are working to allow the individual vents to open and close, however I did notice that there is also a vaccum accuated, I will assume a ball valve that is tied into the heater supply line prior to going into the fire wall to the heatre box. It appears that this valve stays fully open unlees in the Maz A/C mode, not sure if this is part of the problem. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions as to what might be cauing this problem? Thank You, G.L. Vassallo

I have a 2000 Explorer XLS that has been trouble free up to this point. This morning I had a hard time starting it up. After it started it sounded like it was gasping for air along with rough idling. Once I put it in gear it shut off. I tried this several times and each time it did the same thing. When it finally kicked over it idled very rough. After about a min or so the rough idling ceased and all was fine. I'm thinking EGR valve. Has any one encountered this type of problem? Sincerely, Pep

1999 Explorer XLT 4X4 Air Bag dash light flashes many times and then stays on. This indicates that air bags are not working. Read on internet that sensor under the front seats may be casusing this problem. Some owners have Ford repair this problem (at great expense) and later problem returns again. If ford hooks computer up it says the code for front seats sensor (resistance) is not correct. I tried reseating the sensor wire under the drivers seat but nothing. On a Ford recall for two other fixes (not related to this) after they pluged the car into their computer it reset something and the air bag sensor worked correctly for about a week, but then the problem returned again. Ford charges a lot of money to plug their computer into the car; and I don't trust Ford dealers anyway. Looking for trustworthy shade tree person, but need to know before hand how to fix it..

Hope you can help, I have a '96 exlporer that makes a very high pitched whine when idling hot, it usually goes away when you accelerate. No kind of check engine light, it varies from barely noticeable to very loud, same basic pitch, though. problem with diagnosing this is that it doesn't make the noise all the time which makes it hard to pinpoint. Seems like you can hear it through the air intake at the front of the engine.

Hi, I love your site! I would like to ask you a question, I have a 99 ford explorer and my airbag keeps blinking a code at me, it blinks 3 times then pauses and blinks 7 more times and then it stays on. Do you know why it could be doing this? I do not have an owners manual but I am trying to buy one. If you can help I would be very grateful~ Thanks! Christy

I wanted to tell you that I have a 99 Explorer and I was having trouble with it not wanting to start up, it would try to crank up but then just die, and die! Come to find out all it needed was the air filter cleaned. I Have a few friends that had the same problem. Just wanted to share the info.

Just bought a 2001 Explorer Sport (4.0 SOHC) with factory remote and keypad. I'm sure you know where this is going. The 2001 is the first year of the new body style, although I can say it has not changed much on the inside (I owned a 2000 brand new). Here's the question: I need to know where I can find the factory 5 digit keypad code for the driver's door. It is NOT in the following places: glove box, door/liftgate jambs, jack storage. I'd rather not spoon out any money to a dealership, but if I must... I hope someone can give me a sign.

I have a 1997 ford explorer limited awd, the alarm or security system on my vehicle as well as the open and close doors with the transmitter has failed or that is to say, is not working. It did initially. I have only one key. I purhased the vehicle used. The owner said, that he lost the other key and the two transmitter that came with the car. he gave me one transmitter and one key for the vehicle. the the keyless entry pad works fine. the driver's side door will not allow unlocking with the key. the passager door and the hatch back will open with the key. do I need to get another key from the ford company and is there a chip in the key. do I have to buy a new transmitter and have the ford dealership program the transmitter to open and lock the doors and set the security system. thank you Eric

For the question about knowing the number of the keypad. I had same problem just got my 2000 last week. You go in the back of the vehicle. Open drivers side compartment. In there you will find a box. This is for your remote locks. If you look in there at an angle you will see a white label on there. There will be a 5 digit number all by itself. It's a lot bigger then the rest of them. this is the original keypad number even if someone has another number personalized, original number will work. you can also program your own number to work. But first you will have to reset keypad. I don't have my book here. so email me if you have a question.

oops i guess I should have looked at all the posts first. anyways, about the blank radio screen. I fixed today. Just go to walmart, and buy ford radio pullers. right by the stereo section. Just put in the four holes. and pull towards you. you might have to pull levers opposite of one another to get clips to close enough to get radio out. Next slide out and disconnect harnesses and radio antenna. all harnesses different so can't plug back in wrong. after radio is out. Just take off the black 2 screws holding the front display on. carefully take and pry the four tabs holding display in. once loose, disconnect wire harness from display to main radio assembly. If you look closesly at pins opposite of display you will see two on one side that look a lot darker. Mine had no solder on those two points. if you get a magnifying glass will help to solder back. when you solder back do'nt worry about getting it on both pins. I was afraid at first but looked at actual board and saw they form together in a T. just did that and mine's back on track. I read in a different web site about this and the guy said it worked for a year, so hopefullly mine will last longer. but no biggie easy job if you know how to solder. remember this is for a 2000 explorer mine doesn't have anti theft. Don't know if some do.

Just bought a used 1999 Explorer XLS and now I have a couple of problems. 1. The right front passenger electric window works intermittantly. 2. Now the rear wiper won't work at all. 3. Plus when I slow now to an idle once in a while the motor will shut down but cranks back up with no problem. I hope I didn't buy a lemon. It only has 61,500 miles on it. Robert

I have a 96 Ford Explorer 2WD 4.0L manual transmission. My problem is the oil pressure guage drops to nothing. I thought it was the sending unit...changed that and still no pressure. Obviously it is either the oil pump or the pump filter. My question...is there anyway to change the pump without having to remove the engine and if so, how do I do it, is there a diagram that shows how to do it?

I have a '98 Explorer with a driver side door lock problem. It sometimes won't unlock at all regardless of which method I use; ie. passenger door, rear door, driver door. I am trying to remove the door panel to see what is going on (I lucked out and got the door open today). Any advice on how to remove the door panel without damage?? Or any advice on repairing the lock/door handle mechanism? I have been climbing in the passenger door and sliding over and it's getting ridiculus. Any tip is appreciated.

I have a 1997 Explorer w/129,000 miles. After getting new tires I started to notice a rythamic vibration at city speeds. Lately the vibration has become noticeable at highway speeds. The tire shop says the tires are ok but the rear end is going. Is this plausable or should I get a second opinion? If it is the rear end is it worth getting fixed (the car has been very reliable and is otherwise in excellent shape)?

I am a girl and I need your help. I have a used 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 2 wheeled drive, and have major problems but little money to spare. My check engine light has been on for 2 years now and I cant get it to turn off. I have ran tests; they say it is the egr valve.... fixed it and things where good for a short while... then it came back on. My car also idles rough and my dome lights at one point would not turn off for 2 days so i had to take out the bulbs becuase they started melting the metal. Is this all interconnected? If not just tell me what the deal is with my check engine light. I hate my car I wish someone would have told me Explorer stood for Ford Explode before I bought the damn car. And also before I take up your entire web page my ABS light sometimes comes on and stays on for 2 days at a time then turns off by itself. Hope you can help, Thanks, frustrated ford driver Please email me back at zoomzoommazda@aol.com

I have a 1998 ford explorer 2dr sport 4X4. The driver side door lock has started acting up by not unlocking either with the keyless entry, touch pad, or using the key. In addition, the inside unlock button will not unlock it and pulling of the handle will not unlock or open it. My wife drives it and she is virtually locked in once the automatic door lock engages when she puts it in drive. Is there a quick fix without going to the dealer, or is there a way to turn off the automatic locking feature so we can just leave it unlocked? I removed the door panel and have looked at everything, but I cannot find a problem.

What most likely would be leaking? There were no recalls on the fuel system on that years model. Is it also an involved and costly process to drop the fuel tank?

I was wondering if you ever ran across this problem. My 93 explorer 4x4 doesn't shift into reverse when I select it. It just revs as if it's in neutral, I played around with the selector trying to find a gray area but no luck. Also at the same time the "reverse" went out, the car won't kick into overdrive. It just acts as if it was in regular "d" mode. Do you think it could be a stuck check ball or something? Maybe a servo? Please help!

While driving @ steady 60 mph, the engine suddenly lost power. no ck engine light.Pulled to shoulder and found that the engine would idle normally but when throttle was opened engine would not rev but stumble. When throttle was released rpms returned to normal idle. With the maf disconnected the engine performs normally although there seems to be a drop in mpg. I installed a new maf but it wouldn't even idle. However this may have been due to my neglecting to clear old maf readings from the cmu. Do these symptoms suggest that the maf is bad, and should the cmu be cleared before replacing with new maf.1994 Ford explorer 6 cyl 5speed 4x4 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Now, If any of you know what that is please let me know, because like you I have looked for a hanging hose someplace and haven't found onw. I did plug mine up too, but, it still runs bad.

I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sportrac. The check engine light is on and will not go off. Also, little by little the blinkers, and brake lights are going, depending on the tilt of the steering wheel. Now when I put on my blinker, it blinks rapidly and is making a whirring sound. The bed makes a constant squeak, and there is a continuous whinning sound as I'm driving along. The last and final malfunction is that all the CD's now in the player refuse to eject or play. Is this common in Sportrac's?

My 99 Explorer Ltd has the airbag light illiminated on the dash (off & on). According to the dealership, I need to have and AirBag Overlay Harness and the shorted wires replaced. The current configuration is that the wires run underneath the carpet , but now they will replace the above and run the wires under the console. Is this not considered a manufacturer Defect, otherwise, why would they be relocating the wires at a cost of $447? They say the wires are melted.. And they say my vehicle will NOT pass MA inspection.
