OK, after 12 years, my 1992 Explorer Sports driver's side rocker panel

away my remaining X-Plan PINs to spur sales.

I am hoping someone out in cyberspace can help with this minor problem, here
goes. About two weeks ago my 92 Explorer's gas guage started acting wacky,
at first it stayed stuck at the 1/4 line and sinc then it wavers all over
the place. I went to an electrical shop and they said it ...

I have a 2002 Eddie Baur Explorer with the fancy message center.  When the
sun is bright (and my pupils in my eyes are little dots), the message center

3 sec. then stops, only blows hot air on MAX Air. Also heat is always the
same temp. Hot (blend door issue)? Does the blend door issue prevent AC from

a little long in the tooth.  I keep reading comments about rear end

I have a 1993 XLT.  I have recently driven a newer SUV.
I could not believe how much quieter the ride was!
It seems like you can really hear the front tires on the road,

I have 1994 XLT with 138000+ miles. A couple months back I lost all
speeds of the fan except the high speed, regardless if its set on A/C,
heat, vent etc. Is this a fuse or has the switch gone bad. Odd that

parking lots of garage) it makes a  sound and feels like something rubbing
in the steering column. Any ideas or tips?  Thanks!
