Ford Excursion XLT

if you cant find a routing diagram for the serpentine belt under the hood take a cell phone picture of it so you know how to route it once its off.

Usually you can use a 15mm socket or wrench and relieve the pressure of the tensioner by putting the wrench on the bolt that is at the tensioner wheel and pulling back, to find the tensioner if you don't know what I'm talking about, start the car open the hood and look for something that looks like it is holding the belt tight, usually this tensioner has some slight vibration to it and the wheel is nice and smooth since the back of the belt rests against it, not the grooved side.

Open hood. Remove four screws holding top of grille on. Pull lower part of grille out with a little force.

Typically behind the glove box or passenger side kick panel. Open the glove box to it's normal position, then carefully deflect the side stops until the glove box door drops all the way down exposing the wiring harness behind the glove box. Operate the door locks and you will hear the relay, which is about 1 x 2 inch white plastic and has 6 wires in the connector.

A 1994 and later Ford Explorer will have a factory, refrigerant (R134a) 134a system. In mid 1992 all vehicles produced for delivery in the United States were required under Federal law to have this type of system. Occassionally, but rarely, one will find a late 1992 or early 1993 system that still has refrigerant (R12) 12 fittings. But this is the exception rather than the rule and it is unheard of (virtually) for anything later than 1993 to have anything other than an R134a ayatem. Of course, it is easy to determine which system your Explorer has by checking the service fittings (the place where refrigerant service manifold guages hook up). Although as of last count there were over seventy (that's right!) different refrigerants on the market (all requiring [technically by law] their own exclusively distinct service fittings) there are only two refrigerants that (a) have ever been used by ALL (U.S.) automobile manufacturers and (b) have ever been approved by BOTH the EPA and all (U.S.) automobile manufacturers (concurrently). These are R12 and R134a. If the service fittings on your vehicle are 1/4 inch, male flare fittings, you have an R12 system. If the fittings on your vehicle have no threads and resemble the type of fitting used on modern day air compressor (an air 'chuck' type fitting) then you have an R134a fitting. If you have 'air chuck' type fittings attached over 1/4 inch male flare fittings, you have a system that has been converted from R12 to R134a (keep in mind that the specially designated fittings for some alternative refrigerants bear similar resemblence to R134a fittings, but R134a guages will not attach to them). Also, keep in mind two things. Refrigerants that contain ANY amount of flammable substance(s) (such as Freeze12, HCFC12, AutoCool and others) are illegal in most states. Refrigerants other than R12 and R134a void warranty on most parts produced by most manufacturers (and, yes, they do test, and yes, they can tell). Additionally, you might note that these alternative refrigerants (ANY BLENDing of refrigerants is federally illegal) are generally more expensive than R134a. Given the ease of converting a system now and the low cost of R134a, and the items mentioned above... why use something else? And I didn't even mention the fact that no one has done extensive research on these alternative refrigerants to determine what, if any damage they might cause to a system and/or what type of oils are compatible with them.

The dealer that sold the truck has the code on file.

Blown fuse that controls the power windows. Fuse box is usually under the dashboard just to the left of the brake pedal. It will probably have a black cover. And, if it GM still does it the same way the fuse box will be labeled with what the fuses are for (abbreviated of course) and how many amps it is.

( the fuses and relays section starts on page 149 , it has the list and diagram for the fuse box but it just has the list for the Power Distribution Box located in the engine compartment , no diagram )

the relay is behind the radio in a dual relay block

Mine was $38,500.00, we didn't negotiate the price either...I was just excited to be one of the first owners of this type truck!

I know it's located under the drivers side next to the frame. But there are hose connection that I don't know how to remove. I would like an answer to how they come off.

it sounds like the window relay is not working or not making good connection.....had this happen on a 1990 town car i used to own........the relay on the 1990 was behind the glove box.....you could drop the box down and thump the relay and windows would start working......finally replaced relay and no more problems..........good luck

To locate the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) wire on a 2001 Ford Excursion for a navigation head unit, you can check the vehicle’s wiring harness near the speedometer or the main wiring harness behind the dashboard. The VSS wire is typically a light green or yellow wire, but it's advisable to use a multimeter to confirm the correct wire by checking for a pulse when the vehicle is in motion. Additionally, you can consult a wiring diagram specific to your model for more precise identification.

To change the brakes on a 2000 Ford Excursion, first, secure the vehicle on a level surface and lift it with jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the brake caliper, then unbolt the caliper and slide it off the rotor. Replace the old brake pads with new ones, ensuring to compress the caliper piston if necessary. Finally, reassemble by reinstalling the caliper and wheel, and repeat the process on the other side if needed. Remember to check brake fluid levels before driving.

To deactivate an aftermarket alarm on a 2001 Ford Excursion, you can typically use the key fob that came with the alarm system to disarm it. If the remote isn't available, locate the alarm's control module under the dashboard and disconnect the power wire to disable it temporarily. Alternatively, you can try turning the ignition to the "On" position while pressing the valet switch if one is installed. If these steps fail, consulting the alarm's manual or a professional may be necessary.

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve on a 2002 Kia Optima is typically located on the engine's intake manifold, close to the throttle body. To access it, you may need to remove some components or hoses that obstruct your view. It's usually a small cylindrical or rectangular component with an electrical connector and vacuum lines attached. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for precise location details and procedures.
