Ford Explorer

The howling sound is coming from the mass air flow sensor, this is so common in Ford vehicles they have even given it a name they call it the ("Moose in the intake") it is caused by the 2 metal blades in the metal air flow body that connects to your air filter box, the mass air flow sensor is the little black box that sits on top of the metal air flow body, it has a electrical plug in that when working properly opens and closes the 2 metal blades, but when it goes bad, the blades not opening to allow for proper air flow causes the howling sound you are hearing, Ford wants anywhere from $100-$200 for this mass air flow sensor, but they are commonly found in salvage yards for about $50 bucks, you get the whole assembly so there is no need to try and take the little black box off of the metal body, the whole proceedure takes all of 5 minutes and requires just 1 Phillips head screw driver.

check to make sure the two tabs of the air cleaner box are in there grooves. you probably will find that one or both are not causing it to suck air, making the howling sound.

On a 1996 Ford Explorer :

( r134a )

passenger side of engine compartment. big round silver or blac colored can should have a blue colored cap to unscrew.

Remove the belt by using a 3/8 ratchet in the belt tensioner below the alternator. Insert the ratchet into the tensioner and push to loosen the belt. When the belt is loose, remove it from the alternator. Remove the electrical connections from the alternator. Then remove the 3 mounting bolts. The alternator should now be diaconnected from the engine. Installation is the reverse.

I think I will be posting a video on you tube shortly. I have not only removed a damaged bumper, but fixed brackets and installed new bumper.

possibly flasher.

if that doesn't work. The problem may be the turning signal unit located in the steering column. Check to see if the license plate light is shoredt out in the step bumper. Mine did and it took out the turn signals and cruise control.

The engine coolant system capacity is :

for the 4.0 liter V6 - with air conditioning - (8.6 quarts / 8.1 liters )

for the 5.0 liter V8 ( 13.5 quarts / 12.8 liters )

I'm not a mechanic / technician but I assume that would be :

Bank 2 , sensor 1

Bank 2 is the drivers side of the engine in a 1999 Ford Explorer

Sensor 1 would be the oxygen sensor somewhere in the exhaust before the exhaust enters the catalytic converter ( upstream sensor )

I have ford explorer 2002 too My OD was off to blinking saying low oil pressure I had oil changes and it said no pressure..I took one mechanic he said it was senors malfunction told me no worry about it..5 month later i had no speed in city i couldn't drive 25 mile i only could drive it 10 mile per hr it would go..then pulling one side and then made loud noise..the light came on OD saying need transmission check..i took in mechanic he check transmission fluid it was fine..then he check OD he told me the OD should been on..the mechanic took my truck around block and then look underneath to look at transmission he said my 3 gear is missing.. I'm going what..he said your transmission is gone..he said OD should been on for over drive, especially if you drive on high way I mess up transmission it burned it up.

An addition:

The OD light is for overdrive. It refers to the higher gearing in the transmission.

The OD light should be on or off. If it is flashing, then it indicates a problem condition. This is not an engine condition. This has nothing to do with engine oil. Transmissions have their own separate oil and it is called transmission fluid.

A mechanic who says the OD sensor is bad should not be believed. A wrong guess like that can ruin the transmission because the true cause is a real problem. The OD sensor should be replaced if it is suspected faulty.

Driving with the OD on or off (light on or off, not flashing) will not harm the transmission. It is designed to work in both modes. It is a matter of an adjustment in power and efficiency between the two, not a required state that must be used at certain times.

There are a number of other questions related to the flashing OD light on Fords which are in the related questions links and offer suggested answers.

Trouble code P0775 means:Pressure control solenoid "B"

Behind an access panel in the cargo area , on the drivers side , by the liftgate

Right around 107 MPH (Remember that your speedometer will read different)

There will be a fill plug on the side of the trans, fill it until fluid comes out of the hole and seal it back up.

This is what i m lookin forr

When you get to the Ford home page ( click on Owner Guides )

Select your year and Ford model

The Owner Guide ( which includes the drive cycle instructions ) can be viewed online

The washer fluid for the rear liftgate is supplied by the same reservoir as the

front windshield , located in the engine compartment

the pump it self is about 200.00 then the labor the tank has to be removed its on the drivers side under the rear door . before you replace it though you should check the fuel cut off switch which is located under the das on the passengers side on the fire wall under the carpet if you hit a very hard bump its possible to trip it its suposed to turn off the fuel pump in case of an accident but a really hard bump can cause it too that's the cheaper thing to check

A problem has been detected with your Antilock Brake System

It could be a fuse , a sensor , or some other problem

As long as the red " BRAKE " light in your dash is not on , you still have

" normal " brakes

It is a switch designed to shut down the fuel in the event of collision.

According to the Owner Guide , in the power distribution box in the engine

compartment ( P D box is " live " )

Mini fuse # 9 is a yellow colored 20 amp fuse for the fuel pump relay and RAP module

also , relay # 5 in the power distribution box is the fuel pump relay

and the fuel pump reset ( inertia ) switch is in the front passenger footwell , behind the kick panel ( I assume there is an access hole or panel )

On a 1999 Ford Explorer :

You can see one end of the Powertrain Control Module ( PCM ) from the engine

compartment . It passes through the firewall and you can see one end

where the wiring harness bolts to it . Most of the PCM is " hidden " behind the

glovebox area

according to the owners manual there is an attaching hole in the rear edge of the front passenger seat cushion frame that will allow the installation of part # 613D74 ( tether anchorage hardware kit ) I believe there is no charge for the kit. The air bag is a hazard to children, so if it can't be shut off for the passenger, the seat should be moved all the way back in it's travel.

In location # 16 of your fuse panel ( driver's end of dash - visible with driver's door open ) there is a 30 amp mini-fuse for your windshield wiper motor, wiper HI-LO relay, and wiper RUN/PARK relay. There may be spare fuses on the inside of the access panel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your relays are in the power distribution box in your engine compartment - THE PD BOX IS LIVE - DISCONNECT YOUR NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE - the wiper park relay is in location # 1 and the wiper HI/LO relay is in location # 3 in case you need to know !
