Best Answer

The '97 Explorer has a four piece jack set. There is the jack, the tire iron/jack handle, and the spare tire tool/jack adapter. The scissor jack is located on the driver side in the compartment in the rear of the vehicle. The jack adapter and jack handle are located behind and under the rear seat.

The jack adapter is a two piece rod, that when assembled is about four to five feet long. One end is meant for the jack handle/tire iron, the other is meant to fit in the socket of the jack. This rod turns, both to lower the spare tire from beneath the vehicle and to actuate the jack. It isn't difficult to put the rod together wrong, or to mix up the ends, but looking at the tips should clear up what end goes where, and you only need one section of the rod to actuate the jack.

If these pieces do not fit together, somewhere along the line, someone substituted jack parts that are not meant for your Explorer.

Is there a adapter for a nema 14-30 plug and a nema 14-50 receptacle?

No there are no adapters made for these types of installations. The reason there are no adapters is to provide a factor of safety. To plug a 30 amp plug into a 50 amp receptacle could allow 50 amps to be applied to a 30 amp rated cord. The 50 amp receptacle is more than likely being fed by a 40 amp breaker. Just change the plug cord to match the ampacity of the breaker ahead of the 50 amp receptacle. Or change the 50 amp receptacle and 40 amp breaker to a 30 amp breaker and use your existing cord plug.

Can you use a 1A adapter instead of a 500mA adapter?

A one amp adapter is the same as a 1000 mA adapter. If your device requires 500 mA to operate then there is ample capacity in the adapter to operate a 500 mA device. Be sure to match the type of voltage AC or DC from the adapter to the driven device. Both have to be the same.

Will a dc power cord from a Compaq V2000 work on a Compaq nc6220?

All power adapters have to match the Wattage, Voltage and Amps exactly. So you have to look on the adapter on both of the power adapters and see if they match. If you use a power adapter that has more power than is needed you will fry the motherboard so be carefull. The wattage, voltage and amps are on the adapter..

How do you remove and replace 2003 Kia Rio Cinco manual shift knob?

turn the handle counter clockwise and remove the leather boot, screw on a new one. if using an oem shift knob the boot probably will not snap back on, and you'll need some kind of adapter to match the threads, usually a plastic insert secured by a hex screw. turn the handle counter clockwise and remove the leather boot, screw on a new one. if using an oem shift knob the boot probably will not snap back on, and you'll need some kind of adapter to match the threads, usually a plastic insert secured by a hex screw
