I need a vehicle for occasional trips on rough dirt/gravel roads and
dealing with some mud and maybe fording less than a foot of water. I'm
not going to be doing any off-road stuff, just dusty washboard/potholes
and rocks on rough roads, and trying not to get stuck in soft spots. I

I smell gasoline especially when the A/C is on.  I don't see any leaks,
"washed off" clean areas, ect under the hood.  Is there a common gas leak
culprit on the Explorer??
Thanks!

A friend has a 2002 Eddie Bauer that she likes, except for the front seats.
They worsen her back problems. Adding a back rest and seat pad have not
helped. She is at the point of either replacing the seats, or replacing the
car.

I was thinking about purchasing a set of aftermarket outside heated mirrors
for my 97 explorer and was wondering if the factory had already put the
wires to connect the heater in the space where the original power mirrors
are located.  Also, I have a broken seat latch, the one that ...

Recently the "BRAKE" and the "REAR ABS" warning lights came on and stayed
on after brake inspection.  Brake shoes are ok.  Why is the light still
on?

I need some help figuring out what could be the problem of my battery being
low.  Early this morning my car started with no problem.  Then, later in
the morning it would not start and the light inside car was dim.   I got a
jump start and went to work. Then, a few hours later, I ...

obviously from the subject , I have a ford explorer with an Abs light issue.
It is the weirdest thing....in September of last year I got new front
brakes, from Midas or  some place like that. then my back brakes went out a
month or two ago. well before my back brakes went my Abs ...

Can anyone tell me ahead of time what the scheduled intervals are for
engine service? I'm about to purchase an "02 Premier edition with 24k
miles. The car is certified for 6yrs/75k. I have not seen the extended
warrantee for coverage to 100k. Any opinions as to whether or not it is

I've got a 98 v6 sohc and I've got the infamous flashing 4WD hi/
4WD low light problem. From doing a search I've found that it is
probably a faulty speed sensor (I thought that it might be) and that
they are located in the transfer case. Has anyone replaced them

When my '92 EB with the 4.0 V6 has been sitting for a while it will run
rough when I first start it up and white smoke comes out of the tailpipe.
There is oil in the intake (the plastic tube that goes from the air cleaner
to the intake manifold) where the crankcase breather is ...

how on earth do you remove the fuel filter can't seem to unscrew or pull
the lines off of it.

I have the tool they sell to accomplish this. I took the clips off and gave
it a go following the picture on the package. It doesn't want to budge it
seems? Any insight or trick to this I should know? Thanks for any help
here.

My 99 ford explorer has recently started dying.It only happens
occasionally...most of the time it will not want to start after sitting
for over about 5 hours. I will have to keep my foot on the gas, so that
the battery will not die. Once it gets going it is fine and then it

I have a 97 Explorer XLT...
I had Ford replace the engine and transfer case, both junk yard parts and
now I can't get it to stay out of 4 wheel auto.  It hops when I turn corners
and sometimes stops the truck.

My '95 Limited is having problems where sometimes when I start it up, none
of the power windows will work, and the 4WD and 4WD LO lights blink
periodically.
I understand from some posts a few years back that for some people, this has
