Fobs are not working on my 2010 ford explorer changed batteries and still dont work. what fuse relates to the fobs

Did you try programming the key fob? Your owners manual has this info. I don't know if programming will help or not? Just a thought.
fleet.ford.com should have your owners manual, if you don't have one,you can read it for free.
Also try owner.ford.com

I need to replace the mirror of my 2007 Ford Explorer XLT as it was hit and knowcked off, hanging by the power wires. this is he Passenger side door

You can access the inside mounting bolts by removing the panel just inside of the passenger mirror...the electric plug can be unplugged without any other changes...Your mirror is of course available through your local Ford dealer...you can also try the internet to find a like new replacement mirror and head assembly...just type in 2007 Explorer passenger side mirror...Also, your least costly replacement is available at your local salvage yard...some allow you to browse, and remove yourself...(good practise before scratching yours...some yards will pull the mirror for you...you might even find the exact color...salvage yard mirror heads (electric) go for $25. to $75. Sounds like you have a good start...Hope this helps.

How do you get the front door panel off of a 2003 ford explorer xlt to replace the mirror

1. on the inside, remove the plastic trim that is directly inside of the left side rear view mirror.. should just snap off.
2. remove the lens from the reflector/courtesy lamp on the door.
3. pop the plastic trim holding the window switches ...pull up on the front edge (closet to hood) and tip it up until you can release the back edge of the switch plate.
4. unhook the wire connections from the switches... look for the lock tab release lever...they're color coded and only fit in one location so don' worry about where they go..
5. There are two small screws to remove...one below where the switches were, and the other behind the lens of the reflector on the door.
Once you get these out, lift straight up on the panel and it will unhook from the slots in the door.
6. unplug the courtesy light from it's spot in the door panel by twisting.
that should get you there!
