1997 Ford Explorer 5.0 V8 AWD diagram of wiring in Drivers door?
do to any electrical work remove neg battery lug first
and not blow up expensive modules.
door locks dead
or door windows
or both.
?
just one door fails?
all flush checked.?
pull battery neg lug then put back the cut wire properly ,soldered and heat shrink tubing used,
then replace all blown fuses,and put back battery neg lug last?
this car uses a GEM module to direct all that, to windows
and you do not want to blow up any GEM, ok?
lets do fuse related.
F8 maxi fuse 30amp in battery junctionbox. boom
f10 same box same amps and same maxi fuse type.
fuse 10 also blows and all door locks dead too.
so when you short out wires things die
checking fuses is always first. or CB circuit breakers, none here CB.
,
boom

2007 Ford Explorer (Eddie Bauer) Does anybody know what's wrong?
Anon (no miles odometer told)
the starter is dead?
if yes say so clearly,
starter silent, clicks, chatters or is 100% dead. silent.
starter dead has 6 causes (plus Alternator tests too)
engine dead up to 50 (valve springs broken of 24 there?)
step 1 is check fuses
#2 the jumper cable the battery and crank it over?
the new battery is now dead. discharged from excessive cranking,or learn to keep the battery charged until it starts again. once started we do alternator tests, 13v to 15vdc running at lugs of battery.
the engine shut off driving,? on the fly driving alternator bad
or fuses to it blown.
learn to use a voltmeter at the battery cranking
11vdc is par, CRANKING less means battery is weak or bad or simply discharged. a 2man test,1 cranks other measures battery lugs. all 4 lugs tight,and cleaned of rust.
2cables = 4 lugs. to fail.
we use tools and meters and tests to find what is wrong
what engine
4.0 L Cologne SOHC V6
4.6 L Modular 24-valve V8
?>??????/
VIN #8 code ?
cam chain failure?'
scans show cam timing off?
the driving to work stall sure can be the alternator dead
or just 16 year old bad spark plugs?
or 16 year old COP boots bad, sure the are that old
filters bad? clogged.
my guess (never accurate) guessing. is
when driving to work, the GEN/CHARGE/BATTERY
lamp in cluster was glowing and this is why it stalled
then didnt do the jumper cable jump starte
and see OMG all is good but the ALT /gen is dead.
and stalls again in say 1 hours, driving and battery is dead again , wash wear repeat.

2006 Ford Explorer. Intermittent fuel pump issue?
Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.
It is difficult to test things like relays when you have an intermittent fault because it could test okay 9 times out of 10. They are not expensive, I would swap out the fuel pump relay for a new one. If that doesn't fix it, you need and auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer. They can record what is happening when things go wrong.

1999 Ford Explorer. Why does my car "shimmy" above 50 mph.
Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.
It could be so many things. Look at the YouTube channel called 'Just Rolled In'. United States vehicles in terrible condition being driven into garages all across America.
It could be so many things and needs to be put up on a hoist and checked. In no particular order.
Loose wheel lugs or only 1 wheel lug
bald tires
over inflated or under inflated tires
deformed tires with bulges,
wheels out of balance
bent rims
worn tie rod ends
worn wheel bearings
broken suspension springs
failed shock absorber struts
rusted out parts on anything holding the wheels
worn sway bar bushes (called 'sway bar' for good reason)
Not an exhaustive list, but likely one of the above.

2002 Ford Explorer odometer DTC Test Codes.
Odometer trouble codes can sometimes be an absolute pain in the tailbone to decode. An option here is to get the vehicle plugged into an OBD2 scanner to check the main ECU for Trouble Codes. These are easier to decode as they are generally used in most vehicles after 1996. Post these codes and we'll try to help you more.
If you have to pay for this service ask at 4 or 5 different places as prices can be VERY different!

Does the 2019 explorer sport back hatch window open and how do I do that.
Yes, the 2019 Ford Explorer Sport has a power liftgate that includes a rear hatch window that can be opened independently from the liftgate.
To open the rear hatch window, press the button on the key fob twice within three seconds, or press the button located on the liftgate handle twice. Alternatively, you can also use the interior switch located on the overhead console to open or close the rear hatch window.
