Ford Explorer - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues - Page 8

Had the same problem on 98 Eddy Bauer we have. Have you noticed that it has a tendency to belch out hot air and the blower speed slows down mostly when you accelerate or give it a little more gas to climb a hill or an overpass or even pass somebody? If this is the case there is a pressure switch that's hooked into the intake manifold were it can sense a drop in pressure and when it does it drops the ac clutch out and slows the dash blower down till the pressure comes back up. JUMP IT OUT. All your problems will go away. Thats in there to unload the engine during acceleration and heavy loads and after the switch ages it gets trigger happy and lazy about closing to bring the ac back on.

Ford Explorer 2002 - 2005 emissions: EVAP canister, PCV valve, & EGR valve (Aviator / Mountaineer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oauwoNVtD8A 02 Ford Explorer PCV replacement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X_sVHUiYtk V?lvula PCV Ford Explorer 4.0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Cw7TZK52E

On the passenger side of the intake manifold, coming off the bottom about the center of the engine front to back, you'll feel a hose that comes off a nipple. That hose makes a 90 degree bend and goes around to the rear of the motor. Where that hose meets the Y-connector from the other side of the intake you'll find the PCV valve. It's almost impossible to see it with the hood installed, and even tougher to reach it.

Clicking sound is your blend door actuator stripping it's gears and failing to open the door that directs the blower air through the heater core. Follow the sound to the actuator and remove it. Install a new one. You may have to remove some panels to get to it. The part is shown below and costs $32 at autozone. Please let me know if you have questions.

There is no fuse per se, but there is a relay, and you may find the diagram printed on the fuse cover. However, you can follow this link to access the diagram online: https://www.autogenius.info/ford-explorer-u152-2000-2006-fuse-box-diagram/

The fuel panel is located on the left side of the steering wheel near the brake pedal - to access the fuse you need to remove the panel though.

If your wires somehow got disconnected or burnt go to a junk yard and cut out the connector with as much wire as you can get then match them up color to color or buy the chiltons book but it might not have that so the junkyard is the best solution

I think that I answered this already it's your brake light switch on the brake pedal down by the steering column it has a plug with a hitch pin holding it on the bracket

Because its your brake pedal switch that has failed when it fails it makes the brake pedal switch keep the lights on to show you that it's broken replace the switch and it will stop make sure the switch and spacers go back in the way you took them out

It's new - why not just take to dealer

You should have oil cooler lines on the filter adapter and the sender is there it screws into the adapter and has one contact inside the plug go to rockauto.Com and look up your vehicle and then the part in electrical switch and relay it may just be shorting out from the oil filter leaking and cleaning and a new oil filter may stop it from lighting up but maybe not good luck stephen

It's on the left side of the transmission with the shift cable to see what it looks like go to rockauto.Com and look up your vehicle then go to electrical switch and relay section then back up lamp switch pictures are there

You can as long as the tag id's match and engine but it should fit anyway the 03 trans is a 5R55 and so is the 05 but you must be sure by checking the door post tag for the trans code

If the theft light is flashing with the proper key in the ignition then either the chip in the key is bad or the transceiver on the ignition cylinder is faulty. The PATS system is built into the PCM.

If it is the factory system that needs to be reset, unfortunately you will need a Ford IDS, which most large shops have or your local Ford dealer. If it is the aftermarket alarm system that needs resetting, then you need and authorized dealer of that alarm system.

It's a dual relay and it's above the fuse box inside but try turning on whichever works turn/4ways to here it clicking if not go to rockauto.Com and look up your vehicle and then go to the electrical section to see what it looks like skirted or non skirted also go to ford owners.Com and download the owners manual then go to roadside emergencies and your fuse box diagrams and fuse values are there and the relays location also check your bulbs to if one filament is blown and there 2 in each the signals brake lights and 4 ways work off one and the regular tail/parking lights work off the other
