measure it with a piece of string then you can get one ,simple trick but it works

I'd like to say it's an easy job but I'd be lying half of the Dash out and if you not sure it will be cheaper in the long run to pay some one to do it at least if they break anything they have to replace it so my advice is if you're going to give it ago mark vacuum lines and have fun

Idle Air Control valve, or other.

Can you mover the gear selector through all the gears an into park ?

key chime sounds if the little tab is grounded where the key contacts it. The theft light is supposed to blink when the system is armed to let you know it is armed. That's normal.

What do you mean by auto door locks won't unlock? The remote doesn't work? the door lock/unlock button on the door trim panel? Do they lock ok? Or, just unlock doesn't work?

There are five warning chimes and lamps the GEM/CTM controls: headlamps operating without the ignition on (chime only), door ajar (chime and lamp), key-in-ignition (chime only), driver seat belt warning (chime and lamp), and message center.

You need to remove this from both posts and headrest will slide up and out of seat. Be patient, they can be hard to see and or remove. A flat screwdriver or needle nose pliers may be useful. Good luck!

It's a Ford Explorer, you are set up for a lifetime of grief! The codes can be removed by using a code scanner. You can also do it by disconnecting the battery, but that is full of it's own problems. You have multiple electronic issues, you need a good auto-electrician. Lack of heat could be low coolant level stuck thermostat blocked heater matrix faulty blend door actuators faulty control valve Go to the Scotty Kilmer YouTube channel and put Ford Explorer into the search box. https://www.fixya.com/cars/r26859529-resetting_vehicle_anti_theft_system ..
