2000 Ford Explorer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
2003 ford explorer - sometimes
This is most likely going to be an issue with a relay. The relay on the fords that is tied into the blinker module can go bad is it gets wet or over loaded. Are there any after market things added to your vehichle? This can also be caused by overloading part of your ECU if you have after market headlights, or headlights that carry too high a load. When it blinks for 3-4 times and stops, does it blink faster than normal? This can be a sign of a false connection to the light itself. Such as having the wrong bulb in for the blinker.

How to change a 2000 ford explorer bypass hose?
You have to remove the tensioner assembly, not just the tensioner pulley, but the whole assembly, in order to access the plastic bypass hose.
Be very careful, as these pipes get old, the plastic becomes brittle, and possibly the flange end will break off and remain in the block when you remove the pipe, check the block opening carefully to remove all of the remaining flange.
Also, be very careful when removing the lover pipe nipple into the engine block, if you try to pry the tensioner assembly off the block, you will probably snap off the machined nipple that locates into the block, Ask me how I know!!! Good Luck, it can be done but you need to move carefully and deliberately. (by the way, a rebuilt tensioner assembly costs about $80 US, the pipe is about $6. New tensioner assembly comes with the pipe)

How do i replace the pcv valve on a 2000 explorer xlt v6 sohc?
On the passenger side of the intake manifold, coming off the bottom
about the center of the engine front to back, you'll feel a hose that
comes off a nipple. That hose makes a 90 degree bend and goes around to
the rear of the motor. Where that hose meets the Y-connector from the
other side of the intake you'll find the PCV valve. It's almost
impossible to see it with the hood installed, and even tougher to reach
it.

My explorer wont turn over acts like its stolen
My mechanic disconnected the security section because my key I use to start the car had the security spot on the key was loose and would not work in the ignition It was going to cost a lot for a new set of keys so he took the security section out for a lot less. As he said an older car does not need security.

Car been sitting up for last 6 months now will not crank
Fuel, Spark and Air are primary to starting car. Fuel tank definitely has fuel (some friendly neighbor didn't borrow yours)? How OLD is the gas - it can go bad. Must have spark if runs @ all. Anything clogging the air filter ? You've checked for rodent damage to wires/hoses under the hood/dash?
check for CEL codes - you can buy an OBD2 scanner for $20 @ Walmart.
Cheers,
Td

Code PO0171 & PO0174
You have a vacuum leak. Did you use new intake manifold gaskets and torque the bolts according to the spec? Did you get all of the vacuum lines back on in the right places?
