Do you turn the overdrive on or off when you are on the freeway?
off
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are not towing a trailer you would want the overdrive to be ON so
that your engine RPM is lower **( you will not see the O/D OFF light in your
dash ) **
Can a all wheel drive Ford Explorer be converted to a 2WD SUV if the transfer case is removed?
In my 1997 Explorer XLT (4 x 4), I had a problem with the transfer case, it was engaged all the time and too expensive to replace, I never used it, he took the small axle out, the one that goes from the transfer case to the front differential. he advised me that the "Check engine" light will keep lit as the sensor is doing it´s job.

On an air brake system what do you do when the low psi warning light comes on?
if low PSI warning comes on, you need to get vehicle off the road. low PSI means u have low air, or an air leak. this also means you are going to run out of air that operates the brakes
when this happens, the brakes lock on and you ain't going anywhere
warning will come on with enough time to get vehicle to side of road
if you drive a 379 pete and the warning is on and your psi is normal. check the low air switches they are behind the pannel in front of the clutch and brake pedal they are usually corroded
AnswerIt depends on WHEN the low PSI warning light came on.
If I was driving and the light came on, that means one of two things: I've got a massive leak somewhere in the air system and it just happened, or the belt to the air compressor broke AND I've got a leak in the system. In either case, pull over before your spring brakes activate. Those will stop you, but they won't turn the brake lights on so there's a chance you'll get rear-ended. Once you're stopped, shut down, get out and listen for the hissing sound. (Most people who get this light while driving ran over a recap, so try to dodge those, okay?)
If it came on while I'm backing into a really complex hole that needs a lot of braking, that's normal. I'd just put the truck in neutral and rev it up a little to build some pressure in the brake system.
I recently brought my 2000 Toyota Camry in to a Midas shop for a quote to replace all 4 struts and I was quoted approximately $1,000. I was also told that a wheel alignment was highly recommended after the struts are replaced so that will cost about another $100 more or less. I would guess $1,000 for 4 struts is fairly standard.

Hope This Helps.
Try resetting the fuel pump safety switch which is in the trunk. Consult your Owners Manual for the exact location.
Hope this helps! Radioman
I had the same issue and after replacing sensors, regulators, relays, etc. car still wouldn't start! Finally picked up a used pcm/ecm module (electronic control module) at a salvage yard, plugged it in and car started up. Just to test I reconnected the old pcm/ecm and again car wouldn't start. Put back the replacement and car fired up. I've seen on the internet where people did the same as me, replacing fuel pump, sensor, relays, injectors, regulators and their car wouldn't start and they couldn't figure it out so I thought I'd share what worked in my case
How do you release tension to replace the belt for a 1999 Ford Explorer?
On the passenger's side of the engine down low there is a tensioner. It is a pulley mounted to a spring loaded arm. On the arm of that tensioner, there is a square hole to insert a small breaker bar or a ratchet. Insert the tool and use it to lever the tensioner and release the tension.

How do i fix a broken horn on my 1996 ford explorer?
On the 1996 Explorer, in the power distribution box in the engine compartment, (WHICH IS LIVE - DISCONNECT YOUR NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE) there is a relay for the horn, in the 2nd row from the driver's side front fender, in the first space at the "front" end of the PD BOX. Also, in the PD BOX is a 20 amp fuse for the horn and PCM memory, in the 1st row from the driver's side front fender, in the second space from the firewall end of the PD BOX. The horn is located under the battery tray, if the driver's front wheel is removed and the rubber inner liner pulled down, a person can reach up and feel the horn or use a flashlight and mirror to check the wiring connection if the battery and battery tray are removed a person can see the horn, to check the wiring connection.

A main chain from the crankshaft to the jackshaft at the FRONT of the engine , a
chain from the jackshaft to the drivers side cylinder head at the FRONT of the
engine , and a chain from the jackshaft to the passenger side cylinder head at
the REAR of the engine ( also if it is a 4x4 I believe it has a chain for a balance
shaft )
What is the fuel tank capacity for a 1998 Ford Explorer?
For a 1998 Ford Explorer four door :

What is the cylinder compression supposed to be on a 1991 explorer v6?
Don't know what it is supposed to be but I had mine checked because I thought that I had one low. All 6 cylinders were between 145 and 150 psi and my engine is in good shape. I turned out that one of my spark plug leads was leaking. I do know that all cylinders should be within about 10 - 15psi of each other.
What would cause a howling sound out of air cleaner in a explorer sport v6?
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.
Fuses That "Blow"
Without being able to "hands on" troubleshoot the circuit served by the blowing fuse, none of us can identify the specific defect which is causing your problem.
Therefore, the following generic answer can be applied to any electrical circuit, whether in a vehicle, or in a building, or whether alternating current [AC] or direct current [DC].
Fuses [and Circuit Breakers] are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] and other components from short circuit conditions and/or overload conditions which cause an extremely large flow of electrical current [measured in Amperes], which causes overheating of the conductors that results in damage to the insulation and the conductors.
And in a worst case scenario, the probability of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure in which the circuit is located.
When a fuse or Circuit Breaker [and replacement fuses, or repeatedly "tripping" Circuit Breakers] "blow," especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.
The fuse or circuit breaker is doing what it was designed, intended, and installed to do, that is to protect the conductors and components of the circuit which it serves.
The proper "fix" for this issue is for a qualified technician, who knows what he or she is doing, to troubleshoot the involved circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or before resetting a circuit breaker].
Some ignorant few people will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only increase the hazard, not correct it.
Do not follow "bad" advice by installing a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install an oversized fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and the probability of an electrical system fire.
Where is the low pressure side of the ac in a 1998 Ford Explorer?

How do you remove rear bumper on 1999 ford explorer?
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.
How do you change alternator in 2004 ford explorer?
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.
What could be wrong if the turn signal doesn't work on 97 f250 ford?
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.
