Running lights on trailer wont work
Always check the ground wire, connections, and grounding bolt by cleaning and coating with di-electric grease. The harness plugs also get dirt and bug larva in them. on the vehicle the ground wire is the exposed terminal then next t-l-r as in trailer! t-tail lites, l-left brake, r-right brake. The running light use less electric and if the ground is weak you will get no lite. sometimes the brakes will work some what as they will backfeed or get some juice.

2004 ford explorer engine trouble light wiring diagram
The trouble light is in the instrument cluster.behind dash gauges.,BE SURE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY BEFORE REMOVING ANY PART OF DASH..Use safety glasses.,The cluster is attached to the back of gauges..Be VERY CAREFUL If you remove it ..Very Fragile and easy to damage..!!....Older vehicles have a more simple cluster with bulbs that can be replaced or removed..Or leave out and never have a trouble light again..I doubt if your vehicle has a simple bulb however it is possible...If you just wanted the light to go off forever there is a chance you could remove the cluster and it will have a simple small removable bulb..I would ask a Dealer Tech....The cluster is like a map or a weird racetrack..lights for each instrument are located on the pathway...You may could crush the tiny area where light is if it doesn't have a bulb that can be removed but it may interfere with other lights on the cluster pathway or perhaps DISABLE THE COMPLETE CLUSTER..I DONT RECOMMEND CRUSHING ANY PART OF CLUSTER.!!,,However I have seen it done..Some lights are made into the pathway and can't be removed and some are just removable bulbs..Your vehicle could have both type pending on location of your problem light..I have seen many replaceable bulbs located at the bottom of instrument clusters on Heavy Ford Trucks.., however the center lights cant be replaced..Especially if it is all digital..!!..Look for a close up photo of the rear of your instrument cluster on a computer and you will see what I am describing...You may just have a very small plug in bulb..It may be a good idea to ask a Dealership Tech.....Good Luck...

Why does it jack up when am reversing
Sounds Like a Break Problem to Me, either the E brake is sticking or Possibly a caliper,I would Have the Brake System checked, When the Brakes are engaged it tilts the Suspension and Raises the Rear end

Why is my 2004 ford explorer rear wheel vibtrate
Check to make sure that the nuts are tight. if so, then the wheel may be out of balance due to a weight coming off of the rim. A tire shop can check to see if it is properly balanced and whether there is any damage to the rim or wheel.
