94 explorer very hard to start after it sets for 36 to 48 hours or
longer. Once started it will stop and start allday until it sets
again.Computer checked 3 different shops, no codes come up. Could this
be a sensor problem? If so which  ones would be supect?

I've got a '97 XLT V6 w/ 87k. I noticed a problem this fall; after
letting the truck sit for a couple of months the power steering got
intermittent - it gets easy and hard as you turn the wheel. After
driving it a mile or so, the steering felt better, but still acted up a

97 Sport, final shift into OD seems to be taking longer than usual. Has had
fluid/filter change done around 90k at dealer.  Recommendations for service
to correct this? Not looking for tranny replacement/big bucks repair, but
would like to keep it in the family for a few more ...

I have a 1993 ford Explore 4x4 and I am wondering how hard it is to replace
the brake cylinder. I have a leaky one that needs to be replaced and was
planning on doing this on the weekend.
Thanks in advance.

The ABS light started coming on in my 2002 Ford Explorer.  I am not having
any braking problems.  With all of the ice and snow, I knoww that the ABS
is working. I thought that it might have been the fluid level, so I topped
it off, but no help.

I recently replaced the headlights on my 1995 EB, and am not satisfied
with results. I plan on getting the Sylvania Silverstars, but the big
problem seems to be the "yellowed" lens assembly. I see the same
problem on most older Explorers. Any information on replacement/

The time has come to retire my 1996 Explorer.  The transfer case just
went, and after 160,000 relatively trouble free miles, I'm planning to
cut my losses and go for a newer model.  I need to stay under $20K, so
I'm considering a 2002 or possibly 2003.  I know 2002 was a redesign ...

I park on a sloped driveway and my 2000 Explorer parking brake can't
hold the vehicle in place. I've been to the dealer twice to have the
brake adjusted and the result is that the brake feels much firmer and
it holds well. After a mon th or two it loosens up to the point where

I have tried to solicit an answer to this in another (a.a.f) newsgroup, but I
simply got replies that, "It isn't a feature on your car".  I was asking about
my own ('99) Sable and a friend's 2004 Explorer.  We both are annoyed with the
doors automatically locking when the cars begin ...

The temperature adjustment seemed to stop working correctly on our '96
Explorer.   Seemed to be blowing all cold for my wife, regardless of temp
setting (engine was plenty warmed up).
I played with it later, heard a dull knock from the heater area behind the

On my 1996 Ford Explorer, the heater blows hot air in vent and air
conditioning mode.  In Max Air cool air does blow.
Heater works but temperature selection does not lower temperature of air
blown in.

and needs replacement.  We're going to pay for this ourselves
and are not interested in used parts from a yard.
Is there anything unusual about the windshield that the

Recently I have been having a real hard time changing gears in my 93 xlt 5
speed. As the problem has gotten worse (very difficult to change gears -
double clutching helps a little) I have begun to hear a whining noise when
the clutch is engaged.

Has anyone sucessfully managed to repair the autohubs on the early Explorer
(91-94)?  Is there a repair kit anywhere?  Ford wants something like $900
for new ones.  I put Warn manuals on my '91 and the autohubs just failed on
my wife's '92.  I'm completely happy with the Warn hubs ...

My climate control has gone weird -
If it's on 'max AC' I get nice cold air.  If it's on 15, 18 or above - I get
warm air when the engine is cool, and progressively hotter as it warms up...
Anyone know what the problem is?  I've taken the glove box out, the plenum
