#6126 of 6241 Re: Gear shift lever broken-Ford Expl 2002 -please help ! [paul7281] by prubbo Oct 08, 2008 (7:52 am)
Replying to: paul7281 (Sep 24, 2007 6:35 pm) My shift broke off too. When you installed your original steering wheel on the 5L2Z-3C529-A, did it fit correctly? Was there enough length on the splined shaft to mount the steering wheel correctly?   I received a used steering column from the junk yard. Everything looked the same as the original except the shaft only protruded out 1/4" while my original column's shaft protruded 3/4". There was not enough lenght on the shaft to mount the steering wheel. Replies to this message: paul7281 (Oct 16, 2008 2:03 pm) fordsrus2 (Oct 19, 2008 1:23 am)

Replying to: prubbo (Oct 08, 2008 7:52 am) Hi prubbo, paul7281 here. My original steering column-part number was 4L2Z-3C529-DA, I replaced it with this part 5L2Z-3C529-A, and it was new from Ford out of the box. I don't know how much shaft protruded out of the column, but my original steering wheel did fit correctly. prubbo, you did not pull the steering column your self?? Do you know if it's out of a 2002-2004 Ford Explorer or Ford Mountaineer?? Did you see this part number 5L2Z-3C529-A, on the steering column or just on the junk yard invoice?? There is something suspect about the steering column you received. If you have a 2002 Ford Explorer this 5L2Z-3C529-A, steering column and your original steering wheel should fit! Go to your local ford parts dealer with the steering column and steering wheel and ask ford's part dealer why it will not fit? paul... Replies to this message: fordsrus2 (Oct 19, 2008 1:23 am)
#6129 of 6241 Rear window defroster by dlw4 Oct 16, 2008 (6:14 pm)
Since winter is about upon us, the rear window defogger on my '99 Explorer has decided not to work. No light on the little switch when you push it, so I assume it's not working. Is there a fuse for this thing? My Chilton's book doesn't even mention the rear defogger, so not much help. Anyone?

#6132 of 6241 2002 Explorer Fan doesn't blow very well except on high by edvanhal Oct 21, 2008 (7:24 pm)
I live in a cold winter climate. Owned since new 2002, last four years engine temperature indicates high, but not very good heat. When I bring it to the dealer he puts in the garage and checked the heater exit temperature and said it's OK. I can't go through another winter in it.   I think the fan doesn't blow enough. Fan speed one is "barely anything", speed two "kinda something", speed three "barely something", speed four "blows, makes a lot of noise, some heat".   Is there a heavy duty fan available?   Thanks!

Replying to: edvanhal (Oct 21, 2008 7:24 pm) The fan switch itself may be your problem, as it controls the level of the fan speed. Regardless, it seems that it would have to be one of the two, fan speed swt or fan motor. However, I would think it's more likely the fan swt itself. I had an Explorer that had similar symptons and the fan swt itself turned out to be the problem. Again this is the actual swt that you are turning to set your fan speed. In reference to the noise that you hear at the highest setting, there may be something that's getting into your fan blades causing this, as I know leaves are sometime bad about working their way into the fan blades. Hope this reply helps, as it may at least give you a couple of things to consider....
#6135 of 6241 I think it's the clutch pack by jezima Oct 27, 2008 (7:48 am)
I have an 05 explorer XLT with 35K miles and on Saturday I noticed that when I go to turn right or left at a low speed, there will be this grinding sound and shimmy in my rear end..What is it? And will this be an ongoing problem once it's fixed..should I just trade it in Replies to this message: Fordnomore1 (Jan 02, 2009 12:29 pm)
