#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)
#6136 of 6241 2004 Ford Explorer-Whistling noise by jeddyboy Nov 06, 2008 (6:27 am)
I have a 2004 Ford Explorer with 23,000 miles. Anytime I get it over 55mph, there is a whistling noise while I am pressing the accelerator. Take my foot off the accelerator and it stops. We can't seem to figure out where it is coming from. Can anyone help!? Replies to this message: Fordnomore1 (Jan 02, 2009 12:40 pm)

Replying to: swschrad (Apr 25, 2000 2:35 am) Will transmission fluid being sucked into the manifold cause the engine to surge and create a knocking sound in the intake manifold? Also, I have a '94 explorer and it's been surging. I was told by the good people at Auto Zone that it was my EGR valve, which I've replaced and still have the problem.
#6139 of 6241 03 explorer power door lock problems by 1sttimeford Nov 15, 2008 (1:42 pm)
I am having trouble with the driver's side door lock control that is mounted on the door. The rocker control will not lock or unlock the doors unless the engine is running. Key FOB and door key pad work fine anytime. Also, the puddle lamp on the driver's side no longer works (bulb is fine). The key warning chime continually sounds when the vehicle ignition is off, all doors are closed, and the key is still in the ignition slot. Any ideas? Are all these related?
#6140 of 6241 '02-XLT - ABS light On and Cruise Control does not work by dublinca Dec 02, 2008 (12:18 pm)
I recently changed all 4 brakes and resurfaced rotors at the Ford dealer in Livermore CA. After I pick the Explorer, ABS light comes on after driving for a few minutes and now the Cruise does not work also. I took it back the next business day to the Livermore dealer and told it will cost me $180.00 for some electrical switch that goes on the master cylinder. computer code: C1440 -- Pressure difference - Transducer Circuit failure.   I never had any problem in my car related to ABS or Cruise Control and dealer says it not their fault... its a coincidence... I can't seem to buy that. Does anybody know which part is this and if I can replace it myself...Ford Part #. and or image??
