2006 Eddie Bauer, 4L six. I press the brake and start engine. Then I release brake to allow engine to idle. I then press the brake to put the transmission in gear and can't move the shifter out of park. It is an intermittent problem and I can usually solve it by releasing the brake again and then re-applying the brake slowly and holding it. I can hear the relay pick up and then can shift. This has been going on for about two weeks and it does not happen every time. If it finally locks up for good is there a way to override it so I can get somewhere to fix it?
For 2006 up it is none of the above. The problem is a little $5 switch on the right side of the shifter. If you take the console cover off from around the shifter and look at the right side while you step on the brake and squeeze the shifter button you will see a horizontal pin slide up and down. There is also a solenoid that pushes a plastic piece out of the way of the pin. Ford insists on charging you for a whole new shifter assembly insted of replacing the little switch. They knew the switches were bad and gave you an access hole in the console to get to it with a long skinny screwdriver. Look under the rubber bottom piece of the cup holder and you will see a small square hole to stick the screwdriver in to get the switch to manualy release.

After changing the engine oil in a 2006 Ford Explorer the"Oil Change Required" light is still on. How can I clear out this "Oil Change Required light?
IF YOU FIND THIS INFO USEFUL PLEASE RATE ME AS A FIXYA! THANKS
Oil Change Reset
A press of the OIL CHANGE RESET switch will allow you to
reset the oil life feature to 100% (or your Personalized Oil Reset
Percentage). After you have the oil changed, you must execute
the following procedure. Press the OIL CHANGE RESET switch
and hold for five seconds as the M/C counts down for five
seconds. After a successful reset the Message Center will display
“OIL LIFE RESET TO 100%.” If you have established a
Personalized Oil Reset Percentage, the display will show that
percentage instead of 100%. To ensure accurate oil life
indicators, perform this reset procedure only after an oil change.
Your Personalized Oil Reset Percentage allows you to establish a
smaller oil change interval than the manufacturer’s
recommended interval. To establish your Personalized Oil Reset
Percentage perform the following procedure:
1. Press and hold the OIL CHANGE RESET switch and press
the RESET switch while the display is still counting down
the 5 seconds to reset. The display will change to “START
OIL LIFE AT XXX%.”
2. Press the OIL CHANGE RESET switch until the displayed
percentage is the Personalized Oil Reset Percentage that you
desire. Your choices are 100%, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%,
40% and 30%.

I have a ford explorer with the push button 3rd row seating. One of the seats is stuck in the flat position. Is there a way to manually raise it?
Maybe you have a blown fuse, have you checked it ? The owners manual has a diagram of the interior fuse box, what amp to use, etc. You can visually see if the fuse is blown just like a light bulb. If not, then you may have an electrical problem which also has to do with the fuse box, etc.

Power Fold Rear 3rd Row Seat on 2006 Ford Explorer will not raise. I can hear motor trying to raise seat. The gear does not appear to be turning. Motor hums like it is in a bind. What needs replacing?

Where can I find an actual Firing Order diagram for 2006 Ford Explorer ? I took it to a Ford dealership for a diagnostic check and they said I needed to replace the wires and spark plugs. I did that one at time to ensure I didn't get the wires crossed and the performance is worse.
Hope this helps.
The ignition coil:
Spark plug wires:
The spark plugs:
The firing order is 1-4-2-5-3-6.

transmission line leak where it connects to the radiator. How do i repair?
you can get some teflon tape and wrap it around the threads of the line or the connector if thats whats leaking. Be sure you wrap the tape in the tightening direction of the threads.
