What is the size of the door speakers in the 1994 ford explorer.?
I used 6x8 in my Explorer XLT. Pioneer makes a model 6870R that fits perfectly.
Answer6X8Most likely your problem is just the switch itself that controls the speed of the fan or a fuse. These are the easiest and cheapest things to check first. You can get the swithc at a local parts store or from a GM dealer. If that doesn't work check for loose of broken wires. It all that fails replace the blower motor. Check the fuse first.
Hi, I presume all of the speeds stopped. I have a 1991 Shadow that did the same thing. After checking the blower motor and all other components for working order. I was perplexed. I was going to bye pass the fuse box and wire up the motor through a fusable link. When I took the fuse box off, the motor started blowing. All speeds worked. I replaced the fuse box. I started the switch and nothing happened. I removed the good fuse and while tugging on it the fan kicked in again. I wiggled the wires where they go in to the fuse. and replaced the fuse and reinstalled the box. It has been working since. Good luck. The blower motor draws so much current that the fuse can get hot and turn into a resistor. Always try a new fuse even though the one in there looks good. Do this before doing the more difficult things.

Why is the seatbelt airbag light flashing in a 2000 Ford Explorer xls?
Warning lights are important to pay attention to and know warning lights. If seat belt lights flash, and an air bag light flash, it means there are problems with both parts.

What does it mean when your brake light comes on?
I know on my car it means it's time to change them. Most cars have a sensor installed on the brakes that will alert the driver when they get past a certain depth.

How do you reset the 30 amp heater fuse on a 99 escort?
On a 97 Escort there is a small maroon button on the front of the fuse that pops out if tripped. You just push the button in to reset it. I assume it is the same for the 99 Escort.

What is the biggest tire that can be put on a 1996 Ford Explorer?
the biggest rim that's still under Ford specs is 17".
The Biggest? Well I have P275/55/20 on my 95 Ford Explorer which is the same as the 96. The 20" rims really makes my Explorer stand out in the crowd, but there is some rubbing on full turns, left and right. Try 1 size smaller and you should be good.
Note: stock suspension

How do you get to the rear brake lights on a 1989 Chevy Caprice Classic?
Open up the trunk lid, find the Phillips screws above the tail lights and the whole tail light bucket will pull out as one piece. Light sockets are behind.
sounds like the brake switch is not working properly. it is located behind the foot brake control arm. most have to be adjusted to work right. sound also like the wiring has been reversed in the rear at the lights. The other thing to check is the flasher unit. it may be one problem or it could be several at the same time. It could be a bad ground connection for the lighting wiring harness. check that first. hope it helps. duboff The park light circuit can connect to the brake/signal circuit by dropping a broken element inside a lightbulb,, it's rare, but I have seen it twice in 25 years. The tail-lights are supposed to come on with the lights. The brake lights have a second element to make then light even brighter when the brakes are activated. So there is off, primary on and then secondary on. You need to check your brake fuse first; usually marked TAIL LAMP, BRAKE, or STOP. If it's not stamped what's what then a user or shop manual is helpful. You can also pull each fuse and visibly check them for a broken link. Likewise you can swap any two fuses of the same voltage and note any changes. Crawl down near the pedal and play with the brake switch as mentioned above. When the pedal travels the button pops up and closes the circuit thus turning on the brake lights. Wiggle the connector and see if anything changes. Try jumping the contacts on the connector with a wire and see if it works. If you get it to work it may need to be cleaned or replaced. Then make sure the pedal and switch are adjusted to come on and turn off at the right time. One last thing is to make sure you have the right bulbs in there. If someone put side marker or parking light bulbs in then it won't have a secondary stage of brightness. Lastly, you need to check the fuse for the signals, and the flasher switch that plugs in under the dash or fuse panel. The older ones are round and the newer are square. Usually have a couple prongs to plug them in. If you can't find it just buy a new one at your local parts store and don't try it until you check yours. Most won't take a return if you install the part. If you are not seeing the blink indicators on the dash at all it is possible the turn signal switch inside the steering column is bad. You have to remove the steering wheel to get to it. This part is broken on many older cars, often called the turn signal cam. I know the frustration trying to fix wiring someone got mixed up before you owned the car. If all else fails take it to an automotive electrician or get ready to start replacing the harnesses, switch and the whole kaboodle! Just my lengthly two cents.
What is the size of the door speakers in a 1998 Ford Fiesta?
The door speakers are 5.25 inches but you have to purchase an insert in order to replace the door speakers.
There is a small (approx. 18 gauge) brown wire and a black wire that run from the drivers side floor board - the two wires are together and end at a tiny connector. The brown is "hot" with key on, the black is grounded. If you are missing the switch (like my car was), you can improvise with a normal pin switch and a metal bracket (I had to dremel tool it to fit). Hook up the brown wire to the bottom of the pin switch and the black wire to the frame of the pin switch (so the wires will be connected when the pin switch is engaged). Install the pin switch so that the switch is disengaged (ie not connected) when the parking brake is off. If you have the switch in the right spot, only a slight pressing of the parking brake will engage the switch, which connects the wires and turns on the "brake" light on the dash! In my car, the pin switch sits about perpendicular to the ground and the "pin" sits in a crevice at the top of the parking brake. This crevice moves upward when you depress the parking brake, which then allows the pin switch to expand. Releasing the parking brake compresses the pin switch.
Electrically the brown wire needs to be grounded for the light to come on.
How do you remove a 2004 ford explorer backup sensor?
Fixed my reverse parking sensor system
The reverse parking sensors on my 2003 Limited did not work. Just like most of the people here who are complaining about the sensors not working, it would switch off as soon as you shift to reverse. In Park, you could press the sensor disable switch and turn the light off, but as soon as you shifted to Reverse, the disable light would come back on and the sensor system would shut off.
From doing some research, I found out that this is the way that the Explorer reports "hey, one of the sensors has failed."
While Ford wanted over $100 apiece for them, and other online vendors sold them for $60 each, I found a guy selling surplus sensors on eBay for $8 each. Not knowing which/how many of my sensors were bad, I decided to buy four of them - with shipping around $36.
I got the sensors quickly, and put them in yesterday. Once I got everything back together, everything worked perfectly! I'm very pleased!
Here's a guide as to how I did mine.
Open the rear liftgate and remove the four Philips screws on each side holding the rear taillights in place. Gently pull each taillight to the rear until it releases. Remove the lightbulb assemblies from the lens (rotate counter clockwise). Set the lenses aside.
On each side in the area just above the bumper cover exposed by the removed lenses, you will see two screws with hex heads (you will need a socket to remove them). One of the screws is horizontal (head facing straight up), and the other one is screwed into an angular bracket (facing up and to the front). You need to remove only the angular one - the horizontal one fastens a bracket to the bumper cover and should remain fastened. You may want to hit the screws with some PB Blaster first to loosen them up.
Underneath the bumper cover, on each side (on the sides, near the lower front of the bumper cover), are two more screws, one on each side. You will have to lay under the back of the truck to see them. Remove these screws - use PB Blaster on these as well.
Along the top of the bumper cover are a series of plastic pins. All of these have to be removed. If you don't have a pin tool, you can gently use two flat-blade screwdrivers. Slip the screwdrivers into the small slot on each pin, and use them to gently work the center locking pin out about 1/4". You may want to just start it with the screwdrivers and pull it out with your fingers. Once it's pulled out, the rest of the pin can be removed from the bumper cover. It's OK if the locking pin comes all the way out - just remove the rest of the pin, then fit the locking pin back into the main pin body.
Get something soft - a large blanket, sleeping bag, etc. and lay it on the ground under the rear bumper. This is what the bumper cover will rest on, so you don't scratch the paint on it.
Starting on the driver's side, pull the bumper cover up and to the rear until it disengages from the pin lock. Repeat on the passenger side. Gently remove the bumper cover. It will be fastened to the truck on the passenger side by a wiring harness. You can leave this wiring harness connected. Lay the bumper cover on the ground, with the paint side facing down.
The wiring harness is fastened to the EPS (styrofoam) on the passenger side. Gently pull out the pin holding the harness to the styrofoam to free the wires.
Using a deep 1/2" socket, remove the three large flat steel nuts on the plastic bolts that hold the styrofoam in place. Gently remove the styrofoam from the inside of the bumper cover. You will now be looking at the back of the parking sensors.
Very very gently, on the inside of the bumper cover, lift the two tabs on the side of each sensor, then push the sensor through from the outside (paint side) of the bumper. Press down on the end of the connector lock and gently pull the sensor off of the connector. Push the new sensor onto the connector until it locks into place. Push the sensor back into the hole in the bumper until it locks into place. Repeat for each sensor.
Replace the styrofoam, ensuring the plastic bolts go up through the holes, and the plastic tabs on the inside of the bumper cover hold everything in the correct position. Make sure the wiring harness is routed correctly. Reinstall the flat steel nuts onto the plastic nuts. Reinsert the plastic wiring harness plug into the styrofoam.
Gently lift the bumper cover back onto the bumper and position it into place. On the lower front sides of the bumper cover, you will see plastic tabs that fit into holes on the bodywork. Ensure the tabs fit into the holes correctly. Push the bumper cover until it seats properly. Reinstall the two top screws to hold it in place, then reinstall the bottom screws.
Reinstall each plastic pin - with the center locking pin still extended, push the main part of the pin into each hole until it is snug against the bumper cover, then push the locking pin in to lock it into place.
Take each taillight lens and reinstall the light bulb assemblies. Make sure you put the right bulb in the right hole! Turn clockwise to lock into place. Replace each lens in place. Make sure the metal screw fits into the locking tab, and that the plastic tabs fit into their respective holes. Once you've got it lined up, give the lens a good push to lock it into place. Replace the two Philips screws to fasten it into place. Repeat with the other lens.
You're done! Enjoy your functioning parking sensor! The whole process took me about an hour to do, and that's with never seeing the assembly before, or having any idea of how to get the bumper cover off.
Hope this helps you.
Sounds like a defective switch on the driver's door disconnected wires on either door or you have a lock out switch turned on...
with driver door, i suggest pulling your "panel" off and verify your switch is actually connected and if it is, then replace the switch
it very well could be your clock spring ,, under the cover of your steering wheel...
Air bag light won't go out on your 1997 Holden vectra?
Hi, manual says that there may be a fault with your air bag system.
Get it checked with a local garage with vauxhall diagnostic equipment.
My light went on when I removed factory steering wheel and replaced with aftermarket steering wheel (no air bag). The system senses that the air bag is not present, and "believes" that there is a fault with the system.
