there is a port and it takes r123a and it has a green port on it but if it's leaked out you mave have to have it vachumed out, if you charge it be sure to get R134a with oil so that you don't burn up the pump, when the thing leaks it loses oil.

Pick owner guide from the left task bar and input your vehicle info then pick get owner guide and you can down load a complete copy of the owners manual.

I asked that becauses of the wiring for the tow setup. If the previous owner had uhaul or one of the other tow companies out there install the wires for the tow package they use a crappy little product that they clamp to the wire and push a pin that cuts the casing and connects the circuit. It also seriously weakens the cables, and lets water in to the wire. Since you have a tow package I'd focus on those wires back there sounds like you may have a short. Those pins do have some wire exposure when installed right and I've seen them bundled and taped on the early 2000's explorers without being individually taped first, which leads to shorts and non working turn signals and brake lights.

First you need to somehow get the inside trim off of the rear lift gate. This can be tricky with the lift gate not opening, but it can be done. Be careful not to damage your trim. Inside you should be able to see the back side of the handle, wiggle the handle and see what connecting rod is not moving, there should be a little plastic piece broken. replace that and you should be fine.

yes u can do it yourself.just take a drill and drill out broken screw try not to make the hole bigger. then just use a new screw i would use a self tapper

you have carbon built up in there.its going to be hard to get it out it can be done.if u can take egr valve out spray some carb cleaner in there. and then try blowing it out with a air gun.watch your eyes as chuncks of carbon will fly out.do it a couple of times and then reassamble.

there are heat shields that can come loose after time. and at surtain rpm will make rattle noises. that is common with ford explorers

Your alarm is based on cureetn sensing, not door ajar. Does you truck have a mechanical clock or anything plugged into your 12vdc sockets?

ok open sunroof there are 2 drain holes use piano wire or something equeal take a low psi air tip nozzle and blow into drain then take a small cup of water and pour like an ounce of water into drain it should come out by lower door and fender area note mine was plugged down by fender hose was submerged in sand

• sounds like you might have a bad transfer case solenoid which is activated when you hit the 4x4 button to engage the 4 wheel drive. I had the same trouble turned out to be that only takes about 1/2 hour or less to change. It is located under driver side just behind trans looks like a small round cylinder with about 3 wires, you may have to cut and splice them back but be sure to put color to color and either tape them with electrical tape or solder them and then tape them.

Look, man here is the deal:
code p0174 - refer to the front cylinder bank
code p0171 - refer to the rear cylinder bank

hi bighobo,

first, locate the bigger hose that comes out of your compressor that goes to your firewall towards the evaporator, that is the suction hose. look for some fittings that comes out of that pipe and covered by a plastic cap. that is the pressure port where you can add freon.

i hope i solve your problem..
tnx pls rate me

Crawl under the truck, you will find a fill plug on the side of the transmission, use the correct fluid, most likely it will be ATF, fill up to just below the level of the filler plugs threads, use you pinkie to level test, do not overfill the trans

Instead of a lock smith, you can use something to help pry open the top corner of the door. Then use a yard stick or something like that to hit the unlock button. It will save ya $40. That is if you have power locks, which I assume you do.

IF ROTORS WERE CUT TO FAST IT WILL CAUSE A CLICKING NOISE LOOK AT ROTOR AND SEE IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A SCREW STYLE SURFACE

Sounds like a personal problem.

HI..............
Check for any vacuum hose disconnected or damaged.
Check the condition of the air filter.
Check the condition of the hose from the air filter to the throttle body. for no escape of air., loose clams.
Need to check the fuel pressure, replace the fuel filter.
After if the fuel pressure is OK.

Replace the part that control the idle when the car is cold.
The name is : IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR.
But before check everything show above.

Thank you for use fixya.

Auto parts stores sell a special tool for removing the fuel filter.
