#60 of 78 2002 explorer door ajar by kercheval Apr 17, 2008 (10:08 am)
We experienced the same door ajar problem. HOWEVER, it has now escalated to being on all the time AND now the alarm will come on for no reason. I have been searching the web and found lots of other people with the same prob, but no solution yet. If anyone can tell me how to disconnect the door and anti-theft alarms i would really appreciate it. Thanks les

Replying to: 97fordexplorer (Mar 31, 2008 4:44 am) I fixed the problem by simply disconnecting the door sensors. To do this: 1. remove door panel    Remove the screws holding door panel.    Front panel has 2 screws at bottom, Rear door panel only 1.    Then genttly pry off the door handle panel. start at the front-bottom and pull toward the front.    Then remove the elec window button panel.    Then unsrew the 1 small screw you can see after these panels are removed.    Note: these screws are hex heads 1/4 ".    Unplug the power window socket.   Now pull up and the door panel will simply lift out.   2.disconnect the door sensors    There are 2 sensors, 1 is your power door locks and the other is the door sensor.    The door sensor is on the outside and is the smaller two wires.    Cut these two wires,peel back the insulation and twist them togather.   3. Tape and reassemble.   Good Luck. Tell me how you did. If need any more help email me . Les
#63 of 78 Door lock problem by michael2002 Dec 15, 2007 (9:59 am)
I have a 2002 early model explorer. V8, 4x4; My drivers door, door lock switch, will not activate the locks only if then key isn't in and turned on. When the key is turned the door lock works in the drivers door. The passenger and lift gate swith works all the time. The key pad doesn't work when I press 7/8, 9/0 to lock the doors. When I use the remote everything works. When I press the lock twice the horn sounds twice. At different times the alarm will sound after unlocking with the remote or the keypad and opening the door.

#64 of 78 Ford Explorer 2002 Electrical by dennisb1918 Dec 26, 2007 (5:03 pm)
I have a problem with my fan It will go into high mode when I am driving but the auto switch is not engaged. I have noticed when I hit bumps in the road it sometimes goes on to high setting, also if I close the passenger door it will also go to high. The message center sometimes flashes on and off, the direction now is showing SW most of the time. I have recently had a new alternator and battery changed, at that time my remote key door opener stopped working and the door open switch to the driver side does not work.( I had it put on the passenger side to check the swith and it does work on that side.) I also get a lot of static on my radio more times than not. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Replying to: wildbenny (Feb 05, 2008 1:06 pm) Your manual should tell you how to change the keypad numbers. If you don't have a manual, you can download one from Ford.   Ford Owner Manuals   The factory code is on a card in your owner's manual. If you don't know your factory code (needed to enter a new code), sometimes you can find the code on a sticker on the computer module somewhere under the dash or behind the radio/cd. The dealer can find the code with their scan tool, but that'll cost you.
