Odometer trouble codes can sometimes be an absolute pain in the tailbone to decode. An option here is to get the vehicle plugged into an OBD2 scanner to check the main ECU for Trouble Codes. These are easier to decode as they are generally used in most vehicles after 1996. Post these codes and we'll try to help you more. If you have to pay for this service ask at 4 or 5 different places as prices can be VERY different!

i would look at all of my plugs

First be sure the auto-lock is not on and that the entire liftgate can be opened. Look for the small rubber button above and on the right side of the license plate. Try pushing that button to see if the rear window hatch pops. If these efforts don't work, check the fuse associated with the "luggage compartment lid release switch"... it's a 20 amp fuse possibly located in slot 22. A last resort would be removing the interior panel of the liftgate and locating the latch release for the hatch. You can find a schematic of the rear liftgate in an Internet search. Good luck!

IF YOU HAVE A TEST LIGHT, TEST center contact INSIDE THE LIGHTER OUTLET IF IT SHOWS POWER YOUR PROBLEM IS THE GROUND. And The Ground is INCORPERATED into A Bundle Located @ or around Electrical Center= Fuse / Relay BOX under hood. Sounds like a (BODY GROUND) Problem. Also Be Sure it is NOT a KEY ON Curciut. I Have a Carivan that the Cig. Lighters Work ONLY with KEY ON. Hope this is Of Help to you ! .

Hey man odds are you have a small fuel leak under the hood probably like a pinhole in a fuel line. When you turn on the ac you are pulling air from the front of the vehicle in turn pulling in the fuel smell. Find and stop the leak and that should get rid of the smell in the cab when the ac is running.

Band adjustment is very sensitive on these units, I set both adjustments at one turn. This is a 4 speed trans that has been converted to a 5 speed by turning on the od unit ( 1-2 shift ) in first gear.the 2-3 shift is busy because the od band is coming off causing the od unit to transfer back to 1:1 and the intermediate band is coming on . I have found that if the overdrive band is to loose it will release to fast causing a flare on the 2-3 shift bot not really affecting the 4-5 (overdrive) shift. So break both band adjustments loose and tighten the adjustment screw down and back off 1 turn the tighten jam nuts. Also the fluid level should be checked with the transmission warm ( 100 f , not hot, not cold) and the fluid should stream out of the check tube. Transgo makes a really nice vb kit that i use that will help these symptoms.

If the rack and pinion are new check the tie rod ends and ball joints, also check the steering idler if it has one .

There is no fuse per se, but there is a relay, and you may find the diagram printed on the fuse cover. However, you can follow this link to access the diagram online: https://www.autogenius.info/ford-explorer-u152-2000-2006-fuse-box-diagram/

3000 is plenty of RPM in most cases,Darlene. Have you had the codes read? don-ohio (:^)

Quit guessing an take it to a qualified repair shop. Your vehicle doesn't even have a cam shaft sensor

No ,not tunex . Qualified repair shop . Code's stored in 4X4 control module. Need a factory or some other professional scan tool to read code's . SECTION 308-07A: Transfer Case - General Information 2000 Explorer/Mountaineer Workshop Manual DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 06/17/1999 Transfer Case -Automatic Four Wheel Drive (A4WD) The A4WD system is an electronic shift 4x4 system that allows the operator to choose between three different 4x4 modes. The operator can switch between A4WD and 4WD HIGH modes at any speed. To engage or disengage LOW range, the vehicle speed must be less than 5 km/h, the brake depressed, and the transmission must be in NEUTRAL. The front/rear driveshaft speed sensors (Hall effect) are mounted to the transfer case and detect the speed of the front and rear driveshafts. This input is used by the generic electronic module (GEM) primarily to control A4WD operation. The throttle position output signal is provided to the GEM from the powertrain control module (PCM). This signal is used by the GEM in controlling the A4WD clutch. The shift motor sense plate, an integral part of the electric shift motor, informs the GEM to the position of the transfer case. The digital TR sensors are located on the LH side of the transmission; these sensors inform the GEM when the transmission is in the neutral position. The electric shift motor is mounted externally at the rear of the transfer case. It drives a rotary cam which moves the mode fork and range fork within the transfer case between the HIGH range (A4WD, 4HIGH) and LOW range positions. The 4x4 shift motor uses a module containing two relays which, under the control of the GEM, shifts the transfer case shift motor between HIGH range (A4WD, 4HIGH), and 4LOW modes. The solid state clutch relay is used to activate the A4WD clutch within the transfer case. System Function Hall effect sensor monitors input and output shaft speed. In the A4WD (C-Trac) system, the GEM varies the torque sent to the front driveline by controlling the transfer case clutch. At rest and under cruising conditions, the GEM activates the transfer case clutch a minimum duty cycle (percentage of time the clutch is turned on), which allows for the slight difference between the front and rear driveshafts which normally occurs when negotiating a corner on dry pavement. Under any of the following conditions, the GEM will increase the duty cycle in order to prevent or control slip:

• Slip is detected (by using the Hall Effect Sensors)
• Heavy acceleration (throttle position).

Feature inputs:

• Brake ON/OFF switch.
• 4WD mode switch.
• Digital transmission range sensor.
• Clutch switch (manual transmission vehicles only).
• Vehicle speed signal (transmitted from the ABS module).
• Front/rear driveshaft speed sensors.
• Throttle position information from the PCM.
• Contact plate position inputs A, B, C, D.

Feature outputs:

• Solid state clutch relay (pulse width modulated signal: grounded when relay is on, battery potential when relay is off).
• A4WD indicator (ground when activated, open circuit when deactivated).
• 4x4 shift motor relay outputs.

Shifts between A4WD and 4x4 HIGH can be made at any speed. Listed below are the inputs and outputs needed by the GEM to execute a change between any of these modes. Feature inputs:

• Front/rear driveshaft speed sensor.
• Vehicle speed signal.
• Throttle position information.
• 4WD mode switch.

Feature outputs:

• Solid state clutch relay (pulse width modulated signal; grounded when relay is on, battery potential when relay is off).
• 4x4 HIGH cluster indicator (ground when activated, open circuit when deactivated).

When shifting into or out of LOW range, the GEM requires that the vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), the brake is applied, and the transmission is in NEUTRAL. Feature inputs:

• Throttle position information.
• 4WD mode switch.
• Contact plate position inputs A, B, C, D.
• Vehicle speed signal (transmitted from ABS module).
• Brake ON/OFF switch input (battery voltage when brake is depressed, open circuit when not activated).
• Digital transmission range sensor (ground when transmission is in NEUTRAL, open circuit otherwise).
• Start/clutch depressed input (manual transmission only).

Feature outputs:

• 4x4 shift motor relay outputs.
• 4LOW cluster indicators (ground when activated, open circuit when deactivated).
• Solid state clutch relay (pulse width modulated signal; grounded when relay is on, battery potential when relay is off).

Take it to a mechanic who can adjust the clearances.

I had the same problem that based on interner research is common for Fords trcuks/suvs. The common problem fro rear humming "rubbing"sound might be the rear wheel bearings/seal. These will need to be replaced as it will progressivly get worse and the noise louder and eventually the bearings can sieze. I would hesitate to take to a ford dealer if I were you as it can run $500-900. Take to mechanic that knows how to replace wheel bearings and seals. My mechanic replaced them for about $150. and the bearing and seals are around $40. A good way to test this is to raise the wheel were you can freely spin by hand...if does not spin or there is a lot of friction then it might be the wheel bearings.
Good Luck

Hi there:I would suspect it is the shifter not the cable or the transmission to rule out the trans from under the explorer on the drivers side near the pan is the shift linkage disconnect it by prying the ball and socket apart and rotate the lever through the gears to the rear is park then one forward is reverse then N,D,3,2,1 when pushing the lever into park it will feel spring loaded if the parking pawl is not perfectly lined up this will line up if it rolls a little bit DANGER DO NOT LET VEHICLE ROLL OVER YOU.Other Concern: No Park Range Possible Component Reference/Action 256 - ELECTRICAL ROUTINE Powertrain Control System - No electrical concerns356 - HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL ROUTINE Shift Cable/Digital TR sensor - Cable system or digital TR sensor damaged, misaligned- Inspect and repair as required. For shift cable information, refer to Section 307-05. For digital TR information, refer to Digital Transmission Range (TR) Sensor in this section.Case - Manual control lever assembly damage, manual valve inner lever pin bent, manual valve inner lever damaged, spring rod damaged- Inspect for damage. If damaged, repair as necessary.- Manual valve lever shaft retaining pin damaged- Inspect for damage.

Spray WD40 into all door latches, then shut and reopen doors till light and dinging stops.

check wire on coil pack to plugs make sure they are in the right order. easy to mess up drivers side.
