Why does the ac on a LS430 smell like dirty socks even when it is using the fresh air intake?
use a coathanger to clean out the ac drain. It is a hose coming from inside the vehicle on the passengers side near the firewall that allows condensation water to exit the system. It sounds like yours is plugged and the water is nasty.
Sounds like possibly seized caliper sliders or the piston is not retracted far enough (assuming the car has disc brakes in the rear), if the parking brake actuator is built into the caliper on that model, you may have to rotate the piston back into the bore to release the park brake, if it has a separate park brake, make sure it is adjusted properly and the cables are not seized.

buy a wire kit with thick enough wires for the amp.. It should have the instructions but heres the basics.. thick wire goes to battery from amp and you need to drill a hole through firewall (usually under carpet buy you gas and break pedals) to run it and it should have a inline fuse.. RCA wires go from amp back of radio a wire from amp ground need to be connected to a large metal part of your car. memory wire needs to hook to a power source that's only on when your cars on that way your amp does not kill your car battery when you park. and then connect all the speakers.

Why does your ford explorer smell like rubber burning?
My Ford cars always seem to have this problem. I took them to the factory dealer many times. They also seemed to overheat. I finally had the radiator completely replaced by a radiator shop and this seemed to clear up most of the burning smell and overheating. My conclusion from these experiences is that the Ford radiators are not quality. Consider replacing your radiator. It is a lot cheaper than the alternative of having your engine seize. Oh, this solution was not suggested by the shops, they just kept replacing my hoses and water pump.
