1999 Ford Explorer Questions & Answers
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.

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.
