I have a '97, 5-speed with the "auto/4HI/4LO switch.  The 4WD engages
itself during turns on dry surfaces (roads, parking lots, anywhere).  At
the minimum it causes the truck to jerk back and forth as you turn. In one
instance, it snapped the drive shaft within the transmission ...

I have read on some forum and on some websites about the shaking/vibrations.
I also asked owner in town and lot of people don't have this. I have 4
Michelin Cross Terrain as per vehicule recommandations for size and
pressure, which helped but I still have it. Sometimes it shakes, ...

In regard to my 1995 Ford Explorer, my steering wheel lights, door lights
and instrument panel lights are not functioning.
All of the fuses appear to be fine. Has anyone else experienced a similar
problem? If so any advice on how to correct it?

'94 Ford Explorer 4.0 Engine 180k miles.  I recent noticed in another
post regarding IAC tht if it was bad or going bad, the vehicle would
idle very roughly if the connector was disconnected and/or the vehicle
would not start.

I own a four-wheel-drive '99 Explorer XLT with the 4.0L SOHC engine
and automatic transmission. The vehicle has 48,000 miles on it. I'm
considering selling the vehicle in a couple of months and want to be
sure that the odometer doesn't reach 50,000 miles for resale purposes.

This year I really got out of hand with the underside painting of my 92 XLT.
Came out so good, I decided to take some shots. Surprised even me. Guess
they're going to send a rubber truck to take me away.
If you'd like to see, it's second photo down:

The arm rest on the driver's door of my 1994 Explorer XL is a mess. The
plastic under the padding is broken (cracked into little pieces) from
age. This is the part you pull to close the door. The Ford dealer wants
to sell me a whole new door panel, but even that wouldn't work ...

I had (have) a leak in my rear differential. I've replaced the pinion
seal, and it was fine for a week or two, and then I noticed it leaking
again. I was convinced by a friend that the groove on the flange
wasn't supposed to be there, and that was why it was leaking. I've got

I know that in my '91 EB the oil gauge is actually an idiot light. Did Ford
ever go to a "real" gauge in the Explorer and, if so, in what year did this
occur?

I've used 5w-30 synthetic since I bought my Explorer new in 1994.  Now when
I go to Walmart to pick up another 5-gallon jug, I notice the heavier
weights are advertised as good for high-mileage vehicles.  Since my truck
has 160,000 miles on it, should I switch to the ...

I need to figure out what fuses are what and i don't have a manual. HELP
THANKS!

Last week I started hearing a squealing noise under the hood, sounding
just like a loose belt.  I brought it to a local mechanic and he
replaced the belt and it still made the noise.  Because the noise was
intermittent he had trouble locating it but he said it sounded like

99 XLT 4WD SOHC, Michelin LTX M/S tires.
Recently started getting a vibration at freeway speeds (60-65 +). I had the
tires rotated and the balance checked but that didn't help. The tires have
~5000 miles and the problem started well after I got them so I don't think

We had a set of keys turning up missing while a crew was doing some
improvements.  These are for a 2004 Explorer.  Does anyone know the cost of
getting new keys and locks and also can the remotes be re-programmed?
Thanks.

anyone else had trouble with current model fuel gauge?
i got the car back from service and found that once i filled up the tank, it
took almost an hour for the fuel gauge to rise from empty, along with the
trip computer data.
