#19 of 23 Loud humming noise by ctle Jun 25, 2009 (10:45 am)
My 1999 Ford Explorer just started to make a loud humming noise. The weather is in the upper 90's and it just started to make that noise. The noise comes and goes. It seems to stop making the noise when I press on the gas pedal but makes it when the car is cruising or idle. Does anyone know what the problem would be and how much it would be to get it fixed?   Please help.   Thank you.
