The current mileage was 122,000 and failure mileage was 100,000. Vehicle was purchased on 20060110. Vehicle was purchased on 20111011. If so check underneath the hood or the interior carpeting for an installer's mistake. They later came out with an updated version that fixed this.
The Sunroof Was Replaced With Tape. I took vehicle to a St. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but the technician could not find a failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact stated the air bag light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The Vin And Engine Size Were Unknown.
But I Did Not Find That. Still Hesitates To Start turn Key Nothing… No Clicking Takes A Few Attempts Took Back Dealership Says Starter Is Bad. Vehicle was using Cruise Control. The vehicle was not repaired. When The Failure Happened She Pulled The Vehicle To The Side Of The Road And Shut The Ignition Off, But It Took Several Attempts To Restart The Vehicle. Then it became apparent that the car was accelerating independently of my input through the gas. In addition, all of the warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel and the contact experienced a difficult time trying to stop the vehicle before the engine exploded and the vehicle engulfed into flames.
Jan 03, 2006 The Contact Owns A 2004 ford explorer. I told him that the chances that yet another new instrument cluster would solve the problem approached zero. The vehicle has not been repaired. Any help is much appreciated - thank you 104,000 times? If you can't find freeze spray, get a can of duster from office max and use it upside down. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told that the pad lamp had failed. The headlights were dimming in and out, the light on the radio that green light that lights up the controls was also dimming in and out, and the odometer needle was jumping up and down between 0mph and 5mph, the radio would make a noise like it was shorting out this was due to car about to shut off suddenly, the car shut off with all the dashboard lights lighting up again and then quickly shut off.
The Truck Was In Excellent Condition Both Aesthetically And Mechanically. It Occurs Very Often And Is A Well Known Problem In ford explorers. After several attempts, the contact managed to shift into drive. The Speedometer And Tachometer Malfunctioned And The Headlights Dimmed. If so, and all the other gauges are inoperable then it's probrably the cluster. Accident was reported to Police.
I wanted Ford to tell me why it takes so long to get the speedometer in. The vehicle is currently at the dealer. I then went to radioshack and bought some small zip ties and zip tied the linkage in place. Did it once before almost exactly a year ago. Good luck vdubs 4-ever Jul 17, 2009 well the issue is youe enitre gauge cluster i do understand that your speedometer is working but it is a cable speedometer not electronic like everything else in the gauge cluster so first i would recomend checking the voltage getting to your gauge cluster then just replace the guagecluster they are really cheap i a salvage and not hard to install at all but the cluster itself is not very comon to go out so make sure you check voltage to it first i wouldnt want you to go through buying and replaceing the cluster and that not fix it Jan 20, 2009 It sounds like it is an electrical short of some kind. After An Extended Period Of Time, The Engine Restarted And The Instrument Panel Provided An Incorrect Digital Display. Turned car back on and it was no longer accelerating on its own.
Customer States That The Transmission Has Shifting Inconsistencies Which Causes The Vehicle To Shake. I cleaned it up, looked for bad solder joint, solder splashes and bad connections, hooked it back up in the car but without reinstalling the bezel, and waited for a reoccurrence. The clock and speedometer etc are all still working, however the lights to light it all up isn't working. This has been a problem for the last 2 to 3 years. The recall pertained to the 2003 models.
They tested the car and said the speed sensor was bad. When the car's headlights are on, this seems to exacerbate the problem. And the airbag light stayed on the whole time. The Contact Stated That Cruise Control Was Near The Related Recall Component And Could Catch On Fire. I resoldered the piece to the circuit board and cut away a piece of the casing that was rubbing against the part that came loose. I believe your problem is described in there.
The Contact Is Aware That His Extended Warranty Does Not Include The Instrument Cluster. In addition, the contact mentioned that there was a short circuit within the radio, which caused the speedometer and the windshield wipers to fail. The car has 66,500 miles on it, so it is out of warranty. Also, I argued that if the instrument cluster was indeed defective, they would have noticed it when they programmed it. The contact stated that the vehicle would smoke when it was turned on. I had the exact same issue. They adjusted cruise control cable.
