To fix a 1999 Ford Explorer with a rear lift gate that will not open, first check to make sure the lock is not damaged or broken. Then, access the inside of the lift gate by entering the vehicle. Unbolt the lift gate from the hinges and remove the gate. You can then repair the lock or see if the mounting arms are bent or damaged.

What should be done with a vent hose hanging from the rear axle of a Ford Explorer?

nothing should be done with vent hose. it is there so the diff can vent when pressure builds up while driving. the hose is to stop dirt and moisture entering thru an open hole It shouldn't be hanging down. It should be secured up above the rear axle on the frame or cross support with enough slack to allow the axle to travel up and down.


Its a 2001 Ford Explorer and it will turn over but wont start completely It'll crank all the way if you push on the gas but won't stay started Whats the problem?

I had this problem, there was a build-up of carbon in the fuel system and the Oxygen regulator. There is a chemical the garage used that cleaned it out and disolved it. The truck runs great now, and have not had that problem since. They said it is supposed to be done every 15,000 miles or so.
