1999 Ford Explorer. Why does my car "shimmy" above 50 mph.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. It could be so many things. Look at the YouTube channel called 'Just Rolled In'. United States vehicles in terrible condition being driven into garages all across America. It could be so many things and needs to be put up on a hoist and checked. In no particular order. Loose wheel lugs or only 1 wheel lug bald tires over inflated or under inflated tires deformed tires with bulges, wheels out of balance bent rims worn tie rod ends worn wheel bearings broken suspension springs failed shock absorber struts rusted out parts on anything holding the wheels worn sway bar bushes (called 'sway bar' for good reason) Not an exhaustive list, but likely one of the above. more here https://www.google.com/search?q=1999+Ford+Explorer.+Why+does+my+car+%22shimmy%22+above+50+mph ..

1994 Explorer Eddie Bauer 4x4 wont go into Drive???

Question edited for clarity, full year make model Question moved to sub category. It appears to have history. A bit worrying you say 'kinda changed the filter and fluid'. Most are sealed for life, and the amount of fluid is critical. If you drain, you measure what comes out and replace with the same amount of the right type of ATF. You are not alone with issues https://www.google.com/search?q=1994+Explorer+Eddie+Bauer+4x4+wont+go+into+Drive Schematics https://www.google.com/search?q=1994+ford+explorer+eddie+bauer+4x4+transmission+schematics ....

Schematics for installing ignition switch for a 99 Ford explorer

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

My 1999 ford explorer 2x2 5.0 v8 drive does not work unless i give it gas. drives fine after it starts to go. Reverse works fine. fluid is good. Whats the problem? Help

Sounds like the diaphragm o ring that engages the forward clutch pack is worn, would recommend pulling out transmission and sending it to a specialist. It’s a very complicated job

99 ford explorer hesitates when put in gear

I think you should check the fluid level in the trans since your on a flat spot it sounds like the the pick up tube can't get the fluid in it because the level is low inside so always check on level ground and check it while it's warmed up and engine running in park and I think you'll find the fluid level is low fill it up and park it with card board under it to check for a leak good luck Stephen

Flashing lights

See if any garages or auto parts stores will do an error code check. O'Reillys in my town does it for free and usually takes less than 15 minutes. One of the sensors seems to be getting a bad reading and the error code will tell you which one.

Under My seat is a wire with yellow connector.

Probably for some sensor located in car seat telling computer that someone is seated there and possibly activating air bag circuit. Those bags are expensive and you do not want opening when not necessary.
