Replying to: tjinpa (Apr 19, 2009 4:26 am) All I did was pull the door boot to the side, then strip the wires that were broken then crimp on but splices. You will need a pair of wire strippers and a pair of crimpers. Do not try and use a pair of striper/crimper combo set. you won't be able to get the crimper portion of the tool into the door jamb. I think I used the blue automotive but splices. Then that's it. Crimp on the splices and your good to go.   Just a tip. It's a pain to do everything with one hand because your other hand is holding the boot out of the way, soo you may want to have someone leaning over your shoulder doing that for you as you crimp the splices onto the wires.

Replying to: rstorey1 (May 12, 2009 3:16 pm) Do you use the FOB to unlock the car or the key?   Just for the hell of it open the drivers door and the passenger door and pull back on the rubber boot the covers the wiring harness. See if there's any broken wires in the harness. I talked to alot of people with wiring problems in the door jamb and there's usually a few broken wires. It seems to be a common problem with the Ford Explorer.

Replying to: mario454 (Apr 12, 2008 9:44 am) I have a 95 explorer. my daytime running lights stayed on and would drain the battery dead. it turned out to be the daytime running light module, located under the bumper drivers side, looks like a small amplifier, one electrical plug. the reason the lights stay on is because this module has a direct link to the battery, so if the "solenoid" sticks your lights don't turn off. the thing costs too much so i just removed mine and now the problem is fixed, however you will lose your high beams indication and emergency brake indication, and of course no daytime running lights. headlights and brights will still work. hope that helps.

I got a real electrical challenge for you "experts" out there. Ready? First thing to go out was my side mirrors. Then I started having problems with the car starting which was thought to be the fuel pump but now turns out to be electrical. Every now and then i have to pop the hood and wiggle the fuse box to get the fuel pump to kick in. Now my windows dont work and that a/c has cut out. Tomorrow they might work but today they dont. Periodically they work. Its like the car has a mind of its own and windows and a/c will work only when it wants too. Anyone out there deal with this problem? I sure would appreciate some advice on this because driving around tucson , arizona with the windows up and NO A/C is gonna kill me.   thanks Replies to this message: kmeiner03 (Jul 17, 2009 6:25 pm) dallasm (Jul 17, 2009 6:51 pm) fishinjim (Jul 19, 2009 6:36 am) and 3 more...

Replying to: dallasm (Jul 17, 2009 2:47 pm) I never claim to be an expert. just a guy that loves to fix things. Anyways, if I were you I would find the cpu and pull every plug off and check each pin for corrosion. Since you seem to have random problems scattered in different areas I would start there.

#124 of 136 2005 ford explorer 4x4 v8 Limited by fishinjim Jul 19, 2009 (6:36 am)
Replying to: dallasm (Jul 17, 2009 6:51 pm) I have a 2005 Explorer V8 Limited. Yesterday, driving it, AC and stereo playing. We turned on the headlights and the AC stopped blowing, the console lights dimmed, and the radio stopped playing. Turning the headlights off and everything started back working.   Today, I had the battery tested and it tested OK. Placing the battery back in the car and now everything works again.   Any ideas?   Jim Replies to this message: kmeiner03 (Jul 19, 2009 8:36 am) fishinjim (Jul 20, 2009 3:33 am) fishinjim (Jul 20, 2009 12:40 pm)
