electrical headlights by 2002ex

I have a 2002 explorer. I've been having electrical problems with the headlights and looking for some answers. The headlights have been very eratic... When turning on the ignition the HL won't come on (even in Automatic position) Sometimes they turn on, sometime they don't. They will also go off and on while driving (must have fog lamps on at night just in case). Wondering if this is a problem with the switch or a internal electrical problem. Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks.

08 Explorer XLT cranking but not starting by georgesars

Working on an 08 Explorer XLT 29,000 miles doesn't want to start when you crank the key it will crank but not start. When you let go of the key it will continue to crank even though you stopped turning the key. After about 3 times of this then it starts no problem?

I have a 1995 Explorer, XLT. The brakelights don't work, except for the one overhead, on the rear door. Taillights work . Appears to be no power to the brakelite plug. Fuse is good.

Autolamp feature malfunctioning by dbowl300

Anybody out there know how I can override/deactivate the "autolamp" feature on my 1998 Ford Explorer? Though we've never used it, the switch on the mirror doesn't work. Is there a fuse we can pull? Where, exactly, is the sensor located that makes this thing automatic? Can we tape over it? Please help. Thanks!

As a electrician all the conditions that I am reading about seem to point to a grounded conductor or conductors in the harness. This would explain why the auto runs sometimes and other times not. Vibration may make this condition worse. Also check your connections for trailers or towing packages. If they become shorted or grounded out thaat just may cause the problem. I may inhereit a 98 explorer and it has that same issue. The person has installed a cutoff switch between the battery and the starter(harness). This seems to work but the problem is still there. When I find the problem I will post it.
