I have a '94 Explorer. The other day I noticed my brake lights were
completely out. I checked the fuse, the wires for a short and the brake
switch shows continuity when the pedal is pressed. I noticed another thread
of the same nature, but it continues on without mentioning what the ...

A friend has an Explorer that has a very loud squeek in the front end. I
don't know the year, but believe it's a '99 or so. It's a suspension squeek

The Explorer got quite the write-up in Phil Edmonstons Guide. For those
unfamiliar, Phil Edmonston has been writing these annual guides to buying
cars for many years and is known to "pull no punches" with his reviews.

99 Explorer, 4.0 SOHC, auto trans. Engine starts and runs fine, but after
it warms up the idle speed jumps around from 900 rpm to as high as 1500
rpm whether in gear or not. Can anyone help with what the problem might be
and how to fix it.

switched on or off. On the move i cannot hear it so it may be doing the
same. When ON the AC works- Tho' still clicks in and out at idle- Is
this normal.

Recently my HVAC blower motor stopped running. I checked the fuses both in
the main box and in the power distribution box and they are both good. I
then disconnected the electrical supply to the blower motor to check the

I was looking to change the fluid in my transfer case soon on my 99 XLT
SOHC. The owners manual says use Mercon ATF. The local auto store here
only sells Citgo Transguard ATF Dexron III/ Mercon. I am assuming they
are the same?
