On a 2002 Explorer with 80k miles, 4 wheel drive did not work today going up a steep, icy driveway in 4x4 Auto. Selected 4x4 LO and HI, still no engagement. The instrument panel 4x4 light did not light when LO or HI buttons pushed. The 4x4 light does light momentarily when starting engine. It has stayed in the Auto position since new, except once or twice. It has been at least 4 yrs since 4x4 HI was used and then only for about 1 mile. Does this sound like a fuse, switches or shift solenoid? Any trouble shooting tips appreciated. I have an ohm and voltmeter.

Disconnected neg term of battery for short time, but no effect when reconnected. Does this sound like the 4x4 module? Any way I can check or need to take to dealer? |

My 96 Ford Explorer is making a loud tone (usually one pure pitch, occasionally two pitches) after about 5-15 minutes of driving. The tone has an abrupt onset and offset and lasts anywhere from 3 seconds to a minute. It seems independent of engine speed. It tends to happen more often when the outside temperature is below freezing, and when the temperature gauge is about 1/3 up in the normal range. The tone is very loud and seems to come from the front of the car under the hood. Does anyone know what this might be? Thanks. |

Hello All: I have a 1998 Ford Explorer XLT with AWD and 5.0L V8. My problem is a Terrible Vacumm leak. There's an open port where a hose used to be hooked up. It's right underneath the top intake cover, towards the firewall on the right side.(its next to the master cylinder.) I plugged it for now with a 3/8 vacuum plug and its back to normal idle. but I don’t want to damage anything by " jimmy-rigging." like that. I don’t see any hose's loose anywhere, and I really cant figure out how to read the diagram under the hood very well to try and trace in back to where its being fed from. Any suggestions? any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time

Have a 2006 Explorer. Had oil change today and Ford mechanic said the left front axle seal was starting to leak. Can anyone give me an idea fo what it will cost to replace and repair this seal? Have an extended service warranty but wanted to check the price first. Have a $200 deductible on the warranty. Problem is nothing serious at the moment just some very small drips (less than a teaspoon a day). Thanks |
