20 Most Recent 2004 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Questions & Answers

Its a Ford with 176k+ miles on it. Don't act surprised is the transmission is bad. You might as well get ready for motor repairs too.

Sounds like fuel pump is ready to fail. First do the easy stuff. Change out fuel filter. If that improves then you are good to go. Secondly I would do a fuel pressure test this test will tell you if the fuel pump is weak and or about to fail. Good luck

possible locations are in the front on the radiator support or look under the fenders in the front part if you have plastic inner fenders you might have to lower it to get access to the horns are you blowing fuses or are the horns dead totally have someone press the horn and see if the relays working you'll feel it click when you touch it if not try changing it if still doesn't work run power + from the battery and see if horns sound if they do you might have a dirty corroded/oxidized plug/connector clean it with alcohol and use P B blaster /W D 40 on it also check for broken wire/s if there is still a no horn condition you must look at the horn pad on the steering wheel that connector may have the same condition or the pad has broken from hitting the wheel in frustration from the coconuts on the road or the wire has broken post back with progress good luck

Probably a electrical relay, any issues with any equipment or systems?

first off run the fault codes and then you will know which sensors to replace. A good workshop manual will be a big help for you.

Remove the negative battery cable, connect an amp meter in series, between lead and battery terminal, should have a reading of approx 0.05 amp (Time Clock). If higher, then there is a drain, remove the fuses one at a time and watch for a drop on the amp meter. when it does you have found the circuit giving trouble. I would expect a reading of about 8 amps if it's the defog causing the problem. You could try taking the defog switch out first to see if that's the problem.

The switch itself is probably bad. You can pop the switch out and unplug the wires to verify. You can pull the fuse to deactivate temporarily. The fuse is probably powering other items too, so find out what else is sharing the fuse.

First will be tie rods,could be bearing,ball joint ,last CV joint.

This could be two different issues. For the dash light get the vehicle plugged into an OBD scanner or a diagnostic system to check for Trouble Codes. These will give clues as to what and where the issue could be. Comment below with them and I'l try to help explain them. Unless the problem is with the brake booster most traction control systems do not use a vacuum to operate it. It is usually a set of electronic sensors on the wheels that the ECU uses to monitor tyre grip. As I cannot look at the car myself for that hose you will need to get a good mechanic to look at it. The vacuum hose could go to many things like the EGR system, the Turbo (if fitted) or possibly to the transmission.

Only way to get the code is dealership or someone with a radio programmer aka auto scanner

limited info generic answer ----if wiring request is for the vehicle [chassie etc]look up a repair manual for the van---if for the rv try dealer --rv shops --online forums --using the sub-model [rv model series ]

This will sound a bit silly and obvious but have you tried a new battery in the transponder key? Sometimes the fix is that easy. Have you had the vehicle plugged into an OBD scanner or a diagnostic system? Dashboard codes are commonly a bit vague about what the issue is. A Code 24 simply comes up as 'an Immobiliser issue' and thats all you get. The OBD scan will also tell you if there are any other issues with any of the other sensors on the engine. Comment below with any trouble codes you get and I'll try to help you more.

If it is the original radio, contact your Ford dealership with the VIN and they should be able to help you out.
